European explorers were captivated by the seemingly endless bounty
of natural resources on Cape Cod Bay. One Englishman declared that
the codfish were so thick one "could" walk on their backs. Early
settlers quickly learned how to harness the bay's resources and
excelled at shore whaling, shipping and salt making. But as these
new industries flourished, the native Wampanoag, who helped the
fledgling colony to take root, nearly vanished. Author Theresa
Mitchell Barbo's skillful narrative weaves together the natural and
cultural histories of the bay, highlighting some of the region's
diverse milestones- from the drafting of the Mayflower Compact in
1620 to the establishment of the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Plant 350
years later. "Cape Cod Bay: A History of Salt & Sea" inspires
new appreciation for this storied and stunning seascape, and
underscores the importance of new efforts to preserve the bay's
unique ecosystem.

Veering from the hilarious to the tragic, Andrew Mitchell's tales
from the parliamentary jungle make for one of the most entertaining
political memoirs in years. From his prep school years, straight
out of Evelyn Waugh, through the Army to Cambridge, the City of
London and the Palace of Westminster, Mitchell has passed through a
series of British institutions at a time of furious social and
political change - in the process becoming rather more cynical
about the British Establishment. Here, he reflects on the perils
and pleasures of loyalty, whether to a party, to individuals or to
one's own principles. He brilliantly lifts the lid on the dark arts
of the government Whips' Office ('Whipping, like stripping, is best
done in private') and reveals how he accidentally started Boris
Johnson's political career and later naively backed him to be Prime
Minister - an act which rebounded on him spectacularly. Mitchell
also writes candidly about the Plebgate fiasco, which led to four
police officers being sacked for gross misconduct and in one case
imprisoned, while Mitchell himself faced a bill of millions of
pounds in legal fees after losing his libel case. Engagingly honest
about his ups and downs in politics, Beyond a Fringe is crammed
with hilarious political anecdotes and irresistible insider gossip
from the heart of Westminster.

Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is a family man cop who is about to
turn fifty. Cautious by nature, he is less than happy to be paired
with Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson) when he is assigned to investigate
Californian drug baron 'The General' (Mitchell Ryan). Following the
death of his wife, Riggs has become a manic loner who no longer

a few problems as he and Murtaugh attempt to bring the General to
justice.
This will be the most refreshing, entertaining history of England
you'll have ever read. Certainly, the funniest. Because David
Mitchell will explain how it is not all names, dates or ungraspable
historical headwinds, but instead show how it's really just a bunch
of random stuff that happened with a few lucky bastards ending up
on top. Some of these bastards were quite strange, but they were in
charge, so we quite literally lived, and often still live, by their
rules. It's a great story. And it's our story. If you want to know
who we are in modern Britain, you need to read this book.
Disney Channel musical sequel in which Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell
reprise their roles as a teenage couple. Having previously found
themselves trapped inside Brady (Lynch)'s favourite film 'Wet Side
Story' during their summer holiday, he and girlfriend Mack
(Mitchell) are now back in the real world. However, they become
distracted when they return to school and decide they may be better
off breaking up at least until next summer. But when characters
from the movie, including the leads Tanner (Garrett Clayton) and
Lela (Grace Phipps), turn up in their world they have to work
together to get the cast back to where they belong. Brady and Mack
come to realise that if they don't succeed the movie that brought
them together might not exist, meaning they won't have ever met...
