Originally published in 1971. Nineteenth-century theatre in England
has been greatly neglected, although serious study would reveal
that the roots of much modern drama are to be found in the
experiments and extravagancies of the nineteenth-century stage. The
essays collected here cover a range of topics within the world of
Victorian theatre, from particular actors to particular theatres;
from farce to Byron's tragedies, plus a separate section about
Shakespearean productions.

'Looking through the eyes of a child is not a twee, cosy or easy
experience. It can be unsettling, uncomfortable, edgy...' - from
the Introduction Who has the right to 'do' theology? Only
academics? Only adults? Or do we all have a voice in the kingdom of
God? Through the Eyes of a Child considers 14 key theological
themes from one of the most neglected of perspectives - that of
children. Honouring Jesus' command to place the child at the
centre, theologians, psychologists and educationalists take us from
our comfort zone to look afresh at some of the most grave,
difficult and beautiful topics in Christian theology. Challenging
conventional readings of theology, this landmark work will
fascinate and challenge anyone who cares about children and their
place in the world and the church.
" a selection of The History Book Club and The Military History
Book Club Read a chapter from the book "In three days the number of
so-called 'volunteers' reached over three hundred men. Very quickly
they organized us into military units. Just like that I became a
North Korean soldier and was on the way to some unknown place." --
from the book South Korean Lee Young Ho was seventeen years old
when he was forced to serve in the North Korean People's Army
during the first year of the Korean War. After a few months, he
deserted the NKPA and returned to Seoul where he joined the South
Korean Marine Corps. Ho's experience is only one of the many
compelling accounts found in Voices from the Korean War. Unique in
gathering war stories from veterans from all sides of the Korean
War -- American, South Korean, North Korean, and Chinese -- this
volume creates a vivid and multidimensional portrait of the
three-year-long conflict told by those who experienced the ground
war firsthand. Richard Peters and Xiaobing Li include a significant
introduction that provides a concise history of the Korean
conflict, as well as a geographical and a political backdrop for
the soldiers' personal stories.

Tracing the lives and experiences of 100,000 Africans who landed in
Sierra Leone having been taken off slave vessels by the British
Navy following Britain's abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave
trade, this study focuses on how people, forcibly removed from
their homelands, packed on to slave ships, and settled in Sierra
Leone were able to rebuild new lives, communities, and collective
identities in an early British colony in West Africa. Their
experience illuminates both African and African diaspora history by
tracing the evolution of communities forged in the context of
forced migration and the missionary encounter in a prototypical
post-slavery colonial society. A new approach to the major
historical field of British anti-slavery, studied not as a history
of legal victories (abolitionism) but of enforcement and lived
experience (abolition), Richard Peter Anderson reveals the linkages
between emancipation, colonization, and identity formation in the
Black Atlantic.

Peter Purves reads this original adventure featuring the First
Doctor, Steven and Sara, set in the First World War. "The Battle of
the Somme is the pivotal moment of this conflict... History hinges
on it!" It's the start of August 1916, and war is raging on the
battlefields of France. In the front line trenches, British
soldiers are vanishing without trace. Captain Mark Steadman
witnesses one of his comrades being pulled down beneath the mud,
and realises that something is terribly wrong. When three civilians
and a large blue box arrive on the scene, Steadman finds himself
helping in their enquiries. The Doctor declares that something has
gone wrong with the timeline of the War; the Battle of the Somme
should have already begun, yet there is no sign of it. He demands
an audience with Field Marshall Haig! A crater in no-man's land
reveals the grisly horror of the missing men's fate, and brings the
Doctor and his friends into terrible danger. There are forces at
work here which even he can't fully comprehend. Peter Purves, who
played Steven in the BBC TV series, reads this powerful new story
by Justin Richards.
