This book is about my Uncle, Mr Norman Moors who was in the Royal Navy in the second World war. He was on the M. S. Rodney Battleship the only surviving ship in the Mediterranean. He received a Malteasse medal from Sir Whinstan Churchhill and became a Hero of his time. He asked me to promise to write and have this book published in his honour after he passed away in 2015. So I promised to do as he requested and to include my testimony to share with people that our God is a loving and faithful God. This book is the result. Wishing every blessing to all who read it.

A revealing, honest and often comic coming-of-age story about growing up in 1970s Britain on the boundaries of race 'Full of charm' GUARDIAN 'An account of what being British means' i 'Captures a country in transition ... You can't fail to be moved' THE TIMES Kamal Ahmed's childhood was very 'British' in every way – except for the fact that he was brown. Half English, half Sudanese, he was raised at a time when being mixed-race meant being told to go home, even when you were born just down the road. This is his account of an upbringing of cricket and bucket-and-spade holidays, Angel Delight and the BBC - British to the core, yet always feeling foreign in the only home he had ever known. 'Ahmed grew up as a mixed-race kid in west London in the seventies, and his book charts the progress (sometimes slow and now without a few setbacks along the way) that our country has made on race issues since then. Brilliant' Rohan Silva, Evening Standard

This book is about my life story from my childhood the earliest memory And the sufferings I experienced from such a young age. Included are my spiritual encounters of when I saw a vision of the Mother of Jesus (Our Lady) when I was 14 and my encounter with a Monk and Paul who were angels. And my encounter with Jesus in heaven at my near death experience when I was 17. There are other stories of miracles of people being healed. And miracles at Lourdes. I also included a dialogue to my foster mother in the form of letters and Scriptures that helped me overcome my traumas and bad memories and how God helped me to get well and grow to become a strong Christian. I have also included some poems that I received inspiration from the Lord in the circumstances I was in at the time and some family pictures. I hope readers will be encouraged to find their own peace with God As my experiences are true and God is truly real and he loves his people and he is A faithful God and he will help us and answer our prayers And God will bring us to heaven if we love Him and are faithful to Him. I know because I have been to heaven and Jesus brought me back To testify of His love, salvation and hope for His people. By Catherine J.M. Hughes

Using a sociological model, The British Working Class in Postwar Film looks at how working-class people are portrayed in British feature films from the decade after World War II. Original statistical data is used to assess the popularity of the films with audiences. With an interdisciplinary approach and the avoidance of jargon, this book seeks to broaden the approach to film studies. Readers are introduced to the skills of other disciplines, while sociologists and historians are encouraged to consider the value of film evidence in their own fields.

When Elbow won the Mercury Prize in 2008 for their fourth studio album - The Seldom Seen Kid - the accolade followed an organic 17 year long career marked by four classic albums and a cult following that cast them in the role of Manchester's best kept music secret. Elbow started out at a time when great songs and evocative lyrics were not generally recognised. Their music transcended genre, age and image, eventually finding its own distinctive global audience as Guy Garvey evolved into one of the most brilliant and intriguing lyricists of recent times. Reluctant Heroes charts Elbow's long journey from humble roots through modest success to international recognition. It features interviews with the band and those close to them to form the most complete band history to date.
