WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE WORLD ENDED? Twelve year-old Barry Metzler is enjoying his summer vacation when the world suddenly goes crazy. A global chemical attack has infected most of the mammals on Earth. He watches in horror as cannibalistic 'ferals' abandon their former humanity, killing and devouring every living thing they can catch. Civilization as we know it is torn apart in less than a single day. Aided by a handful of National Guard troops, Barry learns to survive among the shattered ruins of our world. His father and brother have survived the apocalypse, and Barry sets off on a cross-country journey to rejoin them. He will find what's left of his family, even if all of Hell lies in his way...
Barry Edwards was born in the year of punk in the West Midlands, UK. Growing up in the desolate Thatcher years of government, the genocide of the lower classes and the obscenity of the super rich led him to take two paths; one, a political activist determined to make society fairer for all... the other, emersing in a romantic rock n roll dreamland based upon his experiences touring with rock n roll/punk bands from his teenage years to the present day. It is this dreamland that inspires his poetry.. a land of romanticism, sex and rhythm and blues...the never ending quest for the perfect love that does not exist. His poetry had earned multiple accolades including the Spoiled Ink/Edit Red Writers Choice award. Barry's Blues is his second collection of work following the well-received 'Robert Johnson and Paganini Waiting For The Devil'.
Barry is a friendly and kind cub, until Fox enters his life. Fox teases him continuously and stirs up anger in Barry. He has to make a choice: be angry and hold a grudge, or forgive.

Nothing in Barry's Nonsense Anthology behaves the way it should-and that's entirely the point. The collection wanders into silly ideas, playful rhymes, and unexpected endings. Some poems poke fun at writing and language, others at everyday life, but all of them keep things easy and fun. Whether read straight through or opened at random, the collection offers quick, friendly bursts of nonsense-just enough to brighten a moment or spark a smile. More lighthearted content can be found at barryzee.github.io, along with a companion YouTube playlist at bit.ly/barryzee. Barry Richard Zeeberg, a retired research scientist from the National Cancer Institute, spent his career in computational biology, genomics, and gene expression. In retirement, he enjoys exploring humor through poems, verses, and short pieces.
When the brilliant classical architect Charles Barry won the competition to build a new, Gothic, Houses of Parliament in London he thought it was the chance of a lifetime. It swiftly turned into the most nightmarish building programme of the century. From the beginning, its design, construction and decoration were a battlefield. The practical and political forces ranged against him were immense. The new Palace of Westminster had to be built on acres of unstable quicksand, while the Lords and Commons carried on their work as usual. Its river frontage, a quarter of a mile long, needed to be constructed in the treacherous currents of the Thames. Its towers were so gigantic they required feats of civil engineering and building technology never used before. And the interior demanded spectacular new Gothic features not seen since the middle ages. Rallying the genius of his collaborator Pugin; flanking the mad schemes of a host of crackpot inventors, ignorant busybodies and hostile politicians; attacking strikes, sewage and cholera; charging forward three times over budget and massively behind schedule, it took twenty-five years for Barry to achieve victory with his 'Great Work' in the face of overwhelming odds, and at great personal cost. Mr Barry's War takes up where its prize-winning prequel The Day Parliament Burned Down left off, telling the story of how the greatest building programme in Britain for centuries produced the world's most famous secular cathedral to democracy.

Did you ever wish that you really understood money? Well, Dave Barry wishes that he did, too. But that hasn't stopped him from writing this book. In it, Dave explores (as only he can) such topics as: - How the U.S. economy works, including the often overlooked role of Adam Sandler- Why it is not a good idea to use squirrels for money- Strategies that will give you the confidence you need to try for a good job, even though you are--let's be honest--a no-talent loser- How corporate executives, simply by walking into their offices, immediately become much stupider- An absolutely foolproof system for making money in the stock market, requiring only a little effort (and access to time travel)- Surefire tips for buying and selling real estate, the key being: Never buy--or, for that matter, sell--real estate- How to minimize your federal taxes, safely and legally, by cheating- Why good colleges cost so much, and how to make sure your child does not get into one- How to reduce the cost of your medical care by basically not getting any- Estate planning, especially the financial benefits of an early death- And many, many pictures of Suze Orman But that's only the beginning Dave has also included in this book all of the important points from a book written by Donald Trump, so you don't have to read it yourself.
