This volume is a raw and unpretentious account of the battles faced by Kieran Ali, an Asian girl growing up in London. It tackles drug addiction, gender inequality, arranged marriage and religion but is ultimately a story about the love and freedom that is seldom afforded to young Asian women living between two cultures.

In 1999 Maxwell Boyle departed an office job in Huddersfield to take up a post as a teacher of English in Tabor, a South Bohemian town he already knew well. This volume records a year spent in the Czech Republic, a country brimming with charm and character yet still in transition a decade after its celebrated Velvet Revolution. "Encounters with grumpy landlords and white-socked shop girls, beer-fuelled evenings beneath the vaults of Tabor's Blues Bar ... all are evoked in a wry style." Michael Ivory, British Czech and Slovak Association.

The Radio Boys' First Wireless

It is very appropriate at this moment when radio has taken the country by storm, and aroused an enthusiasm never before equaled, that the possibilities for boys in this art should be brought out in the interesting and readable manner shown in the first book of this series.  Radio is still a young science, and some of the most remarkable advances in it have been contributed by amateurs-that is, by boy experimenters. It is never too late to start in the fascinating game, and the reward for the successful experimenter is rich both in honor and recompense. Just take the case of E. H. Armstrong, one of the most famous of all the amateurs in this country. He started in as a boy at home, in Yonkers, experimenting with home-made apparatus, and discovered the circuit that has revolutionized radio transmission and reception. His circuit has made it possible to broadcast music and speech, and it has brought him worldwide fame. He had no elaborate laboratory in which to experiment, but he persevered and won out. Like the Radio Boys in this story, he was confronted with all kinds of odds, but with true American spirit he stuck to his task and triumphed. The attitude of the government toward the wireless amateur is well illustrated by the expressions of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover, and is summed up in his declaration, "I am for the American boy." No other country in the world offers such opportunities to boy experimenters in the radio field. The government realizes that there is always a possibility of other important discoveries being made by the boy experimenters, and that is the reason it encourages the amateur. Don't be discouraged because Edison came before you. There is still plenty of opportunity for you to become a new Edison, and no science offers the possibilities in this respect as does radio communication. Jack Binns March 30th, 1922

Alastair Humphreys' round the world journey of 46,000 miles was an old fashioned adventure: long, lonely, low budget and spontaneous. Cycling across five continents and sailing over the oceans, his ride took him four years to complete, on a tiny budget of hoarded student loans. Moods of Future Joys is the story of the first remarkable stage of the expedition.

RSI - Repetitive Strain Injury - is on the increase - globally. This coincides with the proliferation of modern technology. Did you know ... In 2005 at least 1 out of 50 workers in the UK had RSI? But RSI can be avoided. "This is the best self help book on RSI I have ever seen. Also it draws attention to the most neglected aspect of children's use of computers - how to avoid the physical dangers of excessive use at a time of active growth". Dr P.A.V. MacLoughlin, Consulatant in Occupational Medicine, 10 Harley Street, London: author of "Understanding and treating RSI"
