Book Description
This may appear just another book set in backdrop of a small coal mining village in the north of England in the early part of the twentieth century...or so you might think....This is the remarkable true story of a man's life that should have been as simple as the next, except it was not....THIS IS TOM'S STORY. As a man all he wanted to do was make a simple living for himself and provide for his family. In spite of and perhaps because of events, his life would demand of him extraordinary courage to handle situations most would find impossible. In the midst of all of this he retained his spirit of humour and fun but even this would be sorely tested to breaking point...

Book Description
Boys will be boys but these boys shift into big trouble , the old men are not best pleased. While coming under fire from unknown foes , they learn , their home may have to face an army, and its not the only army , never rains but it pours .What ever occurs time will tell in the end . I have tried in these tales to give the old Mythological monsters a new lease of life give them a genealogy , a genetic identity. And write a science fiction story that is fun , but also just a little scary , and maybe a little more respect for bad old men . Because I bloody say so . Yours faithfully MK Baker

Book Description
The final collection of new poems from one of our finest and most beloved poets. The poems in this wonderful collection touch all of the events and places that meant the most to Philip Levine. There are lyrical poems about his family and childhood, the magic of nighttime and the power of dreaming; tough poems about the heavy shift work at Detroit's auto plants, the Nazis, and bosses of all kinds; telling poems about his heroes--jazz players, artists, and working people of every description, even children. Other poems celebrate places and things he loved: the gifts of winter, dawn, a wall in Naples, an English hilltop, Andalusia. And he makes peace with Detroit: "Slow learner that I am, it took me one night/to discover that rain in New York City/is just like rain in Detroit. It gets you wet." It is a peace that comes to full fruition in a moving goodbye to his home town in the final poem in the collection, "The Last Shift."

Book Description
In 2007, the Center for Automation in Nanobiotech (CAN) outlined the hardware and software platform that would one day allow robots smaller than human cells to make medical diagnoses, conduct repairs, and even self-propagate. In the same year, the CBS network re-aired a program about the effects of propranolol on sufferers of extreme trauma. A simple pill, it had been discovered, could wipe out the memory of any traumatic event. At almost the same moment in humanity's broad history, mankind had discovered the means for bringing about its utter downfall. And the ability to forget it ever happened. This is the sequel to the New York Times best-selling Wool series.
