"The London Of Jack the Rippper: Then And Now" is a photographic journey through the London of Jack the Ripper as it was when he stalked the mean streets and alleyways of the Capital. Robert Clack and Philip Hutchinson take the reader on a step-by-step tour of the crime scenes, giving a detailed history of the victims, the crimes and the police investigation. Using many previously unpublished photographs and illustrations, the authors put the reader on the very streets that Jack walked, showing the crime scences, the victims' homes, the common lodging houses and the public houses. They show readers how to retrace the steps the victims took, pointing out the changes to that particular area and when those changes occurred. Using contemporary documents and police files, the authors trace the history of all 11 Whitechapel murders from 1888 to 1891 and discuss other contemporary attacks that may well have been by the same hand. The book will not only be of interest to Ripperologists, but also to those who are interested in the history of London and the East End of London in particular.

For the time traveler, to wear another man's shoes is to be another man. Trebor Lane dreams of the yesteryears that should have been his. In front of the mirror he's Indiana Jones and Alexander the Great rolled into one...and then stuffed into an 8th grader's squatty body. He's an incessant dreamer, a Sunday school drop-out, and an easy target for school spies...and worse. When Trebor accidentally wins a rigged history bee, the bully Jeffery Randalls gives him a week to pay a price he couldn't afford in three lifetimes. But no worries, he has an ace in the hole, a time machine built to fix the unfixable -- at least, theoretically. But instead of traveling back to the night of the ill-fated History Bee, the machine drops him off in 1st century Philippi, where a dusty pair of sandals, a backpack to the gut, and a case of mistaken identity turns Trebor into Piso, a lovesick errand boy and an unenthusiastic messenger of God.
