In a tale rife with adventure, romance, and intrigue, the Morgan family travels across lifetimes fighting a powerful force that's seeking to limit humanity and destroy the world as we know it. Brought together by circumstance and destiny, distant relatives must travel back to certain critical points in time to prevent the ruthless Max Hauptman and his son, Carlo, from changing the past and causing catastrophic changes to the present. After consuming a specialized herb concoction prepared by a long-dead ancestor, the consciousness of each member of the Morgan family is transported into his or her previously incarnated body. Over the course of far-ranging time periods and historic events-including Roman Britain, King Philip's War in colonial America, the Salem Witch Trials, and 18th-century Turkey and France-they must fight, together and individually, to thwart the attempts of various incarnations of Max to alter history. As the Morgans struggle to survive and discover their roles in their respective incarnations, they learn valuable lessons about the mistakes of their past selves and how to make their future lives more meaningful and fulfilling. What if the only way to save the world meant going back in time . . . Not just once, but again and again?

Bungling time travelling adventurers Jack and Joe are being hunted by the Time Watch, the self appointed guardians of time, which is precisely what they don't need whilst they are preoccupied with something as mundane as trying to save the human race. But their past (which, complicatedly, is also their future) finally catches up with them. Joe has to convince the Time Watch that meddling in the natural order of all things timey is actually a good thing, while Jack has to escape from a rather primitive form of the virtual world known as the Game. And at the same time, our heroes need to save the Earth from an alien invasion. Here are some spoilers to whet your appetite: Joe loses a shoe; Jack is snapped in two; aliens use cloaking devices for reasons that are unclear; time travelling makes your hair turn grey; the old man has a past... but will anyone reveal his real name? All this and more in.... The Time Watch!

In this book the author moves beyond the time of clocks and calendars in order to study time as embedded in social interactions, structures, practices and knowledge, in artefacts, in the body, and in the environment. Adam suggests ways not merely to deconstruct but to reconstruct both common-sense and social science understanding.

'I thought Tank Men was a triumph ...it is a really fine piece of work' - Richard Holmes 'Some of the eye witness accounts Kershaw has collected for this comprehensive review of tank warfare have the power to chill the reader to the bone. This is warfare at the sharp end' --NOTTINGHAM EVENING POST The First World War saw the birth of an extraordinary fighting machine that has fascinated three generations: the tank. In Tank Men, ex-soldier and military historian Robert Kershaw brings to life the grime, the grease and the fury of a tank battle through the voices of ordinary men and women who lived and fought in those fearsome machines. Drawing on vivid, newly researched personal testimony from the crucial battles of the First and Second World Wars, this is military history at its very best.

BIRTH CONTROL, CONTRACEPTION, FAMILY PLANNING. Heralded as the catalyst of the sexual revolution and the solution to global overpopulation, the contraceptive pill was one of the twentieth century's most important inventions. It has not only transformed the lives of millions of women but has also pushed the limits of drug monitoring and regulation across the world. This deeply-researched new history of the oral contraceptive shows how its development and use have raised crucial questions about the relationship between science, medicine, technology, and society. Lara Marks explores the reasons why the pill took so long to be developed and explains why it did not prove to be the social panacea envisioned by its inventors. Unacceptable to the Catholic Church, rejected by countries such as India and Japan, too expensive for women in poor countries, it has, more recently, been linked to cardiovascular problems.
