Book Description
Every Penny Counts is the fifth book in Pat McDonald’s Penny Series. Benjamin Pollock (aka Ben Matthews) is now the father of two sets of twins, Luke and Lucy, and Leo and Lily. He lives in the United Arab Emirates in the modest eight-bedroom villa he calls “Chez Waifs and Strays.” When his wife Rebecah wants to go back to her nursing job, they take in a nanny for the new twins. Ben’s responsibilities mount when his “sister” Cynthia gives birth to his nephew, but it’s anyone’s guess who the father is. Stan (aka JoJo the Clown) is back, having run away from the circus, and Gordy also turns up again, looking like a long-haired beach bum. Has he really lost Dolly and his precious mansion Hillcrest? The villa is bursting at the seams! Nevertheless, Ben’s slimming product business The Daisy Effect© is flourishing and has branched out into DaisyFit©, slimming classes with exercises, thanks to Terry’s links to a sheikh, who requests that he set up classes for his wives. Ben needs to open a new business bank account for his UK-based classes, which leads him to discover that his old adversary Austin Prentice is now living in the UAE, having travelled across the world to find him. Could Austin still be holding a grudge after all this time? Ben’s past just won’t leave him alone.

Idiocy
Author: Patrick McDonagh
Publisher: Liverpool University Press
ISBN: 1846310954
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 385
Book Description
In ancient Athens, “idiots” were those selfish citizens who dishonorably declined to participate in the life of the polis, and whose disavowal of the public interest was seen as poor taste and an indication of judgment. Over time, however, the term idiot has shifted from that philosophically uncomplicated definition to an ever-changing sociological signifier, encompassing a wide range of meanings and beliefs for those concerned with intellectual and cognitive disability. Idiocy: A Cultural History offers for the first time a analysis of the concept, drawing on cultural, sociological, scientific, and popular representations ranging from Wordsworth’s “Idiot Boy” and Dickens’ Barnaby Rudge to Down’s “Ethnic classification of idiots.” It tracks how our changing definition of idiocy intersects with demography, political movements, philosophical traditions, economic concerns, and the growth of the medical profession.

Escaping with His Life
Author: Nicholas Young
Publisher: Pen and Sword
ISBN: 1526746646
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 280
Book Description
“A fitting tribute . . . exceptional in covering the duration of WWII as a soldier, commando, POW, escaper, and on through D-Day to Victory.” —Firetrench Very few British soldiers could lay claim to such a full war as Leslie Young. Having survived the retreat to and evacuation from Dunkirk, he volunteered for the newly formed Commandos and took part in their first operation, the raid on the Lofoten Islands. He fought and was captured in Tunisia. He went on the run before his POW camp at Fontanellato was taken over by the Nazis after the September 1943 Italian armistice. He spent six months on the run in the Apennine mountains aided by brave and selfless Italians. Many of whom were actively fighting their occupiers. He eventually reached Allied lines but not before several of his companions were tragically killed by both German and American fire. On return to England, he immediately signed up for the invasion of North West Europe and despite being wounded eventually fought through to Germany. It is thanks to his son’s research that Major Young’s story can now be told. It is an inspiring and thrilling account which demands to be read. “Nicely retold by his son, Nicholas, this memoir ticks all the boxes . . . An incredible story of one man’s war. It’s excellent.” —WW2Talk “This wonderful account of the military life of Leslie Young is pure Boys’ Own Paper stuff, a tale of heroism and daring, of courage and fortitude. An amazing story, brilliantly told.” —Books Monthly
