"Every bit as intense and vivid as James Joyce's 'Araby', this tender, sweet tale nearly startles in the accuracy of its portrayal of the powerful emotions of young love," MILES takes you on an unforgettable journey through the limbo of emerging sexuality to chronicle a way of life barely imagined by those outside its boundaries. With the shadow of his parents' bitter divorce looming over him, Miles struggles to make meaning of his emerging gay identity. By accompanying Miles on his passage, you will be repaid in pure entertainment, with players who are natural forces, emotional outcomes that will please you, and a quest that continually asks you what friendship and love not only are but can become. And without apology or clich MILES gives readers a series of literary yet dynamic, bittersweet yet romantic ripostes. If you think that only one thing can happen between gay teenagers, surprise and delight awaits you in this "strangely beautiful work of art."
The Education of Children Engaged in Industry in England 1833-1876
Originally published in 1931, this title looks at the education received by children working in industry in England between 1833 and 1876. The industrial revolution created more demand for child labour than ever before, but there were few laws to protect the children involved. School was not compulsory for children until the 1880s, but there were new laws brought in and enforced to reduce the numbers of hours they were allowed to work in industry in 1833 and subsequently in 1844. This title deals with the education of children during that time and the implications of the laws introduced.

American folk music has long presented a problematic conception of authenticity, but the reality of the folk scene, and its relationship to media, is far more complicated. This book draws on the fields of media archaeology, performance studies, and sound studies to explore the various modes of communication that can be uncovered from the long American folk revival. From Alan Lomax's cybernetic visions to Bob Dylan's noisy writing machines, this book retrieves a subterranean discourse on the concept of media that might help us to reimagine the potential of the networks in which we work, play, and sing.

Petrol Jesus Nightmare #5 (In the Time of the Messiah)
A chilling apocalyptic thriller about the violent consequences of faith and belief, from the author of The People Next Door. The final war is coming - but no one told the men on the ground. Holed up in a ransacked building in the heart of occupied territory, two Israeli soldiers are caught under fire: Buddy and Slomo hold their ground. But the real danger comes when two unexpected visitors take refuge: a Texan in a Stetson and the widow of a rabbi, chaperoned by the young and very unstable captain Yossariat. Henry Adam's play Petrol Jesus Nightmare #5 (In the Time of the Messiah) was first staged at the Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh, in 2006.
Life Is Like Canadian Football and Other Authentic Folk Songs
A grossly inaccurate "memoir" about Canadian folk legends.Henry Adam Svec has been pushing boundaries in Canadian folklore since he unearthed songs by CFL players in Library and Archives Canada, thereby thrusting himself into the scene—and the media spotlight. Those spartan poems are finally included in this anthology, in addition to the fruits of his subsequent expeditions, but there is much more besides, including honest accounts of the folklorist’s myriad trials and tribulations. This experimental and genre-defying book mixes the adventurous energies of Alan Lomax and Stompin’ Tom, the intertextual conceptualism of Vladimir Nabokov and Mark Z. Danielewski, and the searing intensity of Elizabeth Smart and Chris Kraus."Comically entertaining, presented with 'performative verve', as novelist Jacob Wren puts it."—Atlantic Books Today "This book is cracking me up—and I don't even like football—but it is just so well written."—Robert Dayton, author of The Canadian Romantic
