To save the boy she loves, she must do the impossible. Londyn and David's friendship bloomed under an oak tree. Through the years they endured hardships, triumphs, and the awkward transition from friends to something more. But a sudden accident on a snowy mountain road, changes everything. Instead of celebrating the end of her senior year and acceptance to college, Londyn spends her days at David's hospital bedside, squeezing his hand and urging him to wake from a prolonged coma. It's during one of these visits that Londyn slips into another world-a mirror of her own, only it's decaying and threatened by an encroaching darkness. A world that may all exist within David's dying mind.Navigating the treacherous landscape leads Londyn through memories of her past, of her relationship with David-adventures, heartbreaks, first kisses. Each memory seems to draw her closer to David, to bringing him back. But the world around Londyn is crumbling, getting darker by the minute. And what if David isn't the only one lost?Alternating between past and present, love and tragedy, I'll Bring You Back is a portrait of hope in the face of hopelessness. An emotionally powerful story with universal themes that will stay with the reader long after the last page.

Life is good, until it isn't. Whether unexpected illness, a drunk driver, or betrayal by the spouse you love more than life itself, disaster walks behind you, over your left shoulder and three paces to your rear. God laughs as you make your plans. Adversity reveals the character of our souls. Does Brad Taylor, our reluctant hero, cry "why me," and allow the winds of fate and the will of others to direct his path through a waking nightmare? Or does he stand up to the unexpected and forge his own path, surprising friend and foe alike, overcoming all odds? Is revenge a dish best served cold-or is a life well lived the best revenge of all? Discover how one man answered these questions, faced his nightmare, the betrayal he never saw coming. Make your own decision about his actions and reactions. Is he a calm hero, a crazed over-reacting fool, or that complex mixture of good and bad, right and wrong, smart and stupid that we call an ordinary man? However you judge him, prepare to be surprised.

Radicalism and Chartism 1790-1860 brings together the first two books in the Reconsidering Chartism series--Before Chartism: Exclusion and Resistance, and Chartism: Rise and Demise, both published in 2014-in a substantially revised second edition. The prologue examines the nature of economic networks in the late-eighteenth and early-nineteenth century. The first chapter explores the ways in which society changed in the decades leading up to the 1830s and considers the ways in which working people responded to economic change. Chapter 2 looks at the ways in which working- and middle-class radicals confronting the question of reform from the 1790s through to 1830. The politics of inclusion and exclusion and the role of repression by the Whig governments in the 1830s and the specific economic conditions from the mid-1830s are examined in Chapter 3. The remainder of the book explores the development of Chartism chronologically from its beginnings in the mid-1830s to its demise in the 1850s and divides this into four phases explored in Chapters 4 to 7 The first phase covers the years between 1838 and 1841 and revolves round the critical events of 1839, the first Convention, the First Petition and the Newport Rising. The second phase lasts from 1841 to 1843 and focuses on the emergence of the so-called Chartist 'new move', the creation of the National Charter Association, the relationship between Chartists and the middle-classes and the strikes of 1842. The third phase covers the years between 1843 and 1850 during which there were attempts to reposition the movement, the Land Plan and the seminal events of 1848. The final phase considers the ways in which the movement developed during the 1850s when leadership shifted away from Feargus O'Connor to Ernest Jones. The book ends with a chapter on the radical dilemma. Richard Brown has published sixty print and Kindle books and 50 articles and papers on nineteenth century history. He is the author of a successful blog, The History Zone, which has a wide audience amongst students and researchers. He is also a Fellow of both the Royal Historical Society and the Historical Association.

Britain 1780-1945 Reforming Society develops the ideas and chronological scope that I put forward in my earlier studies of Britain's social and economic development during the late-eighteenth, nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The result is a new history of British society between 1780 and 1945. The volume complements Britain 1780-1945: Society under Pressure. I have radically restructured my thinking broadening my approach to make it less Anglo-centric, white and male in character. For instance, in this volume I have looked at the ways in which the Poor Law operated differently in England and Wales, Scotland and Ireland and I have also taken account of the issue of disability ignored in my earlier writings. This book begins by examining the ways in which British government was transformed and how it responded to the challenges posed by urbanisation and the problem of housing, the revolution in how people worked and the problem of the nation's health. It then moves on to look at poverty and the state and the nature of voluntary action and the development of a national system of education. It ends by considering the changing nature of crime, policing and punishment.

This text is a high-level introduction to the modern theory of dynamical systems; an analysis-based, pure mathematics course textbook in the basic tools, techniques, theory and development of both the abstract and the practical notions of mathematical modelling, using both discrete and continuous concepts and examples comprising what may be called the modern theory of dynamics. Prerequisite knowledge is restricted to calculus, linear algebra and basic differential equations, and all higher-level analysis, geometry and algebra is introduced as needed within the text. Following this text from start to finish will provide the careful reader with the tools, vocabulary and conceptual foundation necessary to continue in further self-study and begin to explore current areas of active research in dynamical systems.

Britain 1780-1945: Society under Pressure develops the ideas and chronological scope that I put forward in my earlier studies of Britain's social and economic development during the late-eighteenth, nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries. The result is a new two volume history of British society between 1780 and 1945 of which this is the first volume. I have taken the opportunity of extending the chronological limits of the book from 1914 to 1945 and have radically restructured my earlier work rewriting each chapter to take account of recent thinking in an attempt to make it less Anglo-centred, white and male in character. The result is an examination of issues ignored in my earlier work, for instance, the racial tensions in the years before and after the First World War and questions of same-sex relationships. The volume considers the critical developments in Britain's industrialisation, its economy, the revolution in how people and things were moved around the country, demographic developments between 1780 and 1945, its social structures and finally its systems of belief.

The position of the kinetoscope in film history is central and undisputed; indicative of its importance is the detailed attention American scholars have given to examining its history. However, the Kinetoscope's development in Britain has not been well documented and much current information about it is incomplete and out of date. The purpose of the book is, for the first time, to present a comprehensive account of the unauthorized and often colorful development of British kinetoscopes, utilizing many previously unpublished sources. The commercial and technical backgrounds of the kinetoscope are looked at in detail; the style and content of the earliest British films analyzed; and the device's place in the wider world of Victorian popular entertainment examined. A unique legal case is revealed and a number of previously unrecorded film pioneers are identified and discussed.

Richard Rogers, founder of Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners, is a pre-eminent architect of his generation, whose approach to buildings is infused with his enthusiasm for modernism, love of life and strong sense of social justice.From the Pompidou Centre in Paris to the Lloyds Building in the City of London, and from airports, to cancer care centres to low-cost homes, the buildings he and his partners have designed blend private use, public space and civic value.In part inspired by his 2013 Royal Academy exhibition, A place for all people is a mosaic of life, projects and ideas for a better society. Ranging backwards and forwards over a long and creative life, and integrating relationships, projects, stories, collaborations and polemics, with case studies, drawings and photographs A place for all people is a dazzling and inspiring book as original as its author.

In this, the second part of his history of the Industrial Revolution, Richard Brown examines the political and religious developments which took place in Britain between the 1780s and 1840s in terms of the aristocratic elite and through the expression of alternative radical ideologies. Opening with a discussion of the nature of history, and of Britain in 1700, it goes on to consider Britain's foreign policy, the emergence of the modern state and the mid-century 'crisis' of the 1840s. Unlike many previous works, it emphasises British not just English history. It is this diversity of experience and the focus on continuity as well as change, women as well as men, that makes this a distinctive text. Students will also find the theoretical foundations of historical narrative and analysis clearly explained.
