Book Description
Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths Around the Tees, contains over sixty terrible and gruesome tales, that are set in the locality including; Barnard Castle, Darlington, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool and many of the surrounding villages. In the nineteenth-century, Victorian industrialists built their empires in the beautiful scenery and charming villages of the Tees area, using the river for transport of the commodities that were produced. Small, cramped houses were built to accommodate the rising population and often three or more families would live in one small dwelling. Many of the workers were illiterate and heavy drinkers. Domestic violence and drunken brawls were common amongst the poorer classes. Women and children were often a burden to the breadwinner and were held in low esteem. In a period spanning 100 years from 1799-1899 these well-researched events give an insight into the darker side of our region's history and heritage. Take a journey into the darker side of your area and let your spine tingle, as you read Foul Deeds and Suspicious Deaths Around the Tees. Key Selling Points * This new series by Wharncliffe Books, has been very successful in other local towns. * Readers always have a thirst for grisly tales of past misdemeanours in their local town. * Well illustrated using local sources and articles. Author Maureen Anderson was born in Scotland, as a child she was taken to Australia, and finally returned back to Britain in the early 1970's. Maureen now lives in the village of Seaton, where she carries out her research on ancient history. Maureen's parents were keen members of the National Trust, which gave Maureen her love of historical buildings and all things Victorian. Maureen also edited 'Aspects of Teesside', earlier this year for Wharncliffe Books.

Intellectual Dynamo: Five Decades as an Educational and Training Consultant
Author: Henry Ellington
Publisher: Lulu.com
ISBN: 1326970437
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 84
Book Description
This book describes my lengthy- and highly successful- career as an educational and training consultant. It is the companion volume to Vic Baxter's book on 'Innovative "High Kai" Consulting', the first two elements of the 'Baxter/Ellington quartet' of books on 'effective consultancy'. These are accompanied by two much-longer volumes, each providing 25 detailed case studies on major consultancy projects that we have carried out over the years. We could have written many more! It begins by outlining my general approach to consultancy, and then looks at the main areas of which I have worked as a consultant for the last five decades. The book ends by identifying the four main reasons why I was able to do so well as a consultant. I hope that it will encourage other academics to try to do the same, and will also provide a few useful guidelines for consultants of all types. I hope you enjoy reading it; I certainly enjoyed writing it!

English Nationalism and its Ghost Towns
Author: Luke Telford
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1000578380
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
In order to understand today’s nationalism, we need to address the historical decline of working-class communities, the sense of loss brought by deindustrialisation and how working-class people have been denied a voice in society and politics. Discontent has manifested strongly in these deprived post-industrial areas, often branded as communities that have been left behind under neoliberal globalisation. Whilst more and more people are voicing their discontent with a system that fails to provide social security and economic stability, many researchers have branded them merely as racists, xenophobes and ill educated. Although prejudices are likely to play a part in all political outcomes, today’s dissatisfaction across the West cannot be reduced to mere emotion and intolerance. This book therefore utilises on-the-ground research with working-class individuals in a Leave voting locale in Britain, exploring their discontent with politicians, the Labour Party, the European Union, immigration, refugees and the prolonged calls for a second referendum. It situates this sentiment towards society and politics within the decline of capitalism's post-war era and the loss of well-paid industrial jobs, increase in non-unionised service employment and the hollowing out of community spirit.
