Book Description
Surveying the university’s chronological history, with special focus on how Syracuse led the way in numerous important matters—gender, race, military veterans, and science—Forever Orange goes far beyond the parameters of a traditional institutional history. Authors Pitoniak and Burton have utilized exhaustive research, scores of interviews, and their own SU experiences to craft a book that explores what it has meant to be Orange since the school ’s founding as a small liberal arts college in 1870. Through narrative and hundreds of photos, Forever Orange presents SU’s glorious 150-year history in a lively, distinctive, informative manner, appealing to alumni and university friends, young and old.

Book Description
Meet Jess and Joe. They want to tell you their story. Joe is Norfolk born and bred and wears wellies. Jess holidays there with her au pair and is slightly too tubby for her summer dresses. They are miles apart even when they stand next to each other. This is a story of growing up, fitting in (or not), boys, girls, secrets, scotch eggs and maybe even love, but most of all, it's about friendship. Spanning several summer holidays, Jess and Joe Forever is an unusual coming of age tale that explores rural life and what it means to belong somewhere, if you can really belong anywhere. A layered and thoughtful play about finding your place in the world when you only know a small corner of it. This edition was published to coincide with House Theatre's production at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh in 2017.

Book Description
From 1987 to 1995, Bristol, England's Sarah Records was a modest underground success and, for the most part, a critical laughingstock in its native country-sneeringly dismissed as the sad, final repository for a fringe style of music (variously referred to as “indie-pop,” “C86,” “cutie” and “twee”) whose moment had passed. Yet now, more than 20 years after its founders symbolically “destroyed” it, Sarah is among the most passionately fetishized record labels of all time. Its rare releases command hundreds of dollars, devotees around the world hungrily seek out any information they can find about its poorly documented history, and young musicians-some of them not yet born when Sarah shut down-claim its bands (such as Blueboy, the Field Mice, Heavenly, and the Wake) as major influences. Featuring dozens of exclusive interviews with the music-makers, producers, writers and assorted eyewitnesses who played a part in Sarah's eight-year odyssey, Popkiss: The Life and Afterlife of Sarah Records is the first authorised biography of an unlikely cult legend.

Book Description
John, Doug, Ste, and Neil work on the railways. They won't sell you a ticket and they don't drive a train. What happens when you have to clean up the worst day of someone else's life? Every 31 hours someone takes their own life on the railways in the U.K rail network. It is ten times more likely to be a man. 31 Hours is the story of four men who are employed to clean up after rail suicides. It is the story of four men at work. Four men at home. Four men dealing with their own lives. Their own problems. Dealing with them in their own way. On their own. Silently. It is a story of four men failing to talk. 31 Hours starts with Neil being taken on for the job. The four main characters play the members of the Network Rail 'specialist cleaning branch', trying to grasp they suicide scenes they see, but also swap into other roles, telling the stories of men who have killed themselves through depression, family breakdown and post-traumatic stress. Filled with humour and humanity, it is a high-speed kaleidoscopic journey through masculinity, mental health and messy aftermaths in modern Britain.

Book Description
You think you're safe when you sleep? Think again... Beauty and the Beast meets Hades and Persephone in this now complete fantasy romance series. I used to think the supernatural world was a myth. Shapeshifters, demons, werewolves, vampires? No way were they real… Well, I’m here to tell you they are. They simply aren’t what you think. You probably face them every single night when you dream, but when you wake, it’s all a blur. My name is Amelia Blake, and I’m a dreamwalker…at least that’s what Seth told me the night he kidnapped me and brought me into the Dreamscape. According to him, it’s the true name for la la land and where we all go when we dream. He claims he and his shapeshifter brothers send dreams to humans to help them cope with life. He also claims I agreed to help him break a curse keeping him imprisoned in the dream realm. Thing is I don’t remember him. In fact, I think he’s crazy, even though he’s crazy sexy, but I’m trapped with him and will do anything to find a way out. The only problem is I’ve done something really stupid, and now the Erobos are after me. If Seth’s right, these guys not only send nightmares, they can steal a person’s soul. If I’m not careful, they’ll take mine. If I don’t discover a way to beat them, they’ll come for yours next. Think magic doesn’t exist in our world? Think again… Weaver of Dreams is an upper Young Adult urban fantasy romance with a kick-butt heroine readers of the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare, Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead, and the Shadow Demons Saga by Sarra Cannon will enjoy.
