Mother. For many, this is a comforting word, but for Philip, Mother is a controlling, manipulative monster who won't let him live his life. Philip McReynolds is a young man coming of age in a world that says that greed, selfishness and being sexually experienced are things that are expected of a young man. However, this is not the type of person Philip is. He is a reader, a writer, a dreamer of dreams, and when he meets the girl of his dreams, a 17-year-old girl named Amanda, he begins the journey to break free of his mother's possessiveness and become Amanda's knight in shining armor.

PRESENTED HERE, is a fantastic human struggle and a stunning new work of literary fiction ... a groundbreaking new-generation tale -- epic, romantic, spectacular. "THE SEEKER IN FOREVER" tells the striking story of a young man and woman who emerge from a mysterious 'nowhere' to become something akin to 'superheroes, ' when they take on the American political establishment and the establishment world order. ... The two young outsiders arrive abruptly, to confront the most powerful man in America -- a political strongman who has gained more might than any man in history, and is about to take America on a startling course. ... The young people explode onto the fabric of the modern world, immediately sending disturbing ripples along the accepted orders of society. They bring the will-to-beauty, truth, love, and other such 'cosmic sins.' ... The giant opposing political strongman -- soon destined to take the helm of the American establishment as President -- realizes that he must destroy them, before they can start a 'Love Craze' that would sweep across the national scene and alter the world forever
In this fascinating book, Damian Alan Pargas introduces a new conceptualization of 'spaces of freedom' for fugitive slaves in North America between 1800 and 1860, and answers the questions: How and why did enslaved people flee to – and navigate – different destinations throughout the continent, and to what extent did they succeed in evading recapture and re-enslavement? Taking a continental approach, this study highlights the diversity of slave fight by conceptually dividing the continent into three distinct – and continuously evolving – spaces of freedom. Namely, spaces of informal freedom in the US South, where enslaved people attempted to flee by passing as free blacks; spaces of semi-formal freedom in the US North, where slavery was abolished but the precise status of fugitive slaves was contested; and spaces of formal freedom in Canada and Mexico, where slavery was abolished and runaways were considered legally free and safe from re-enslavement.

The official script for the box-office smash movie, featuring every ruddy word (and stage direction) of Alan’s seamless transformation from natural-born broadcaster into fully fledged and occasionally fully dressed hostage negotiator. Contains deleted scenes and an exclusive Foreword by Steve Coogan. With a television career behind him and a much-coveted breakfast slot in his spiritual home, regional digital radio, there was only one place left for Alan Partridge to turn: Hollywood! Or rather, an Anglo-French funded co-production for the big screen. Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa sees Alan face his biggest challenge since he spent six months in a travel tavern, and is almost certainly the first time he has handled a loaded gun since he was a prime-time BBC2 presenter. When his beloved income-source North Norfolk Digital is taken over by a faceless media conglomerate, Alan’s inimitable instinct for self-preservation leads to a violent and bloody siege on the radio station by an unhinged, nay mentalist, DJ, and a hostage crisis for which there can be only one man with the chat to diffuse it … Featuring a cast of old and new Partridge favourites, including Sidekick Simon, assistant Lynn and Michael the Geordie, Alpha Papa is proof that while the jury’s out on whether you can keep a good man down, it’s an outright fact that you can’t keep a good regional broadcaster off the airwaves.
