      "When we are very young, we all have dreams of greatness{u2014}sometimes attainable and sometimes not. And because we are young, we have hope, and we have enjoyment in our dreams and in our hopes, sometimes without regard to the consequences of our actions{u2014}believing we are invincible. And these hopes and dreams lead us on to attempts of fulfillment. Sometimes our attempts have unforeseen consequences, and sometimes we become discouraged with failure. But dreams are important. They are the impetus that leads us forward to risk, to try, to fall and try again. And sometimes the price seems too high. But if the dream is real, one will pick up and try again{u2014}without perhaps as much hope as before, but with determination and stubbornness against the voice that says ?give up, already.? Only the individual decides which way to go, regardless of the price he has to pay. Nick Green{u2019}s story reveals the heart of a youth who pays the price. He is on a mission{u2014}a journey which will change his life forever{u2014}no matter how it ends."--Publisher's description

      The Settlement Patterns of Britain
    • I'll Be Barabbas Next Time is a story about two young men growing up in the East End of London in the late 1960's and early 70's. Liam McNally and Michael Bennett appear to be at different ends of a spectrum that encompasses many highs and almost as many pitfalls as two young lives could encounter. The overriding beacon that shines through is the eternal friendship that exists between them. Although Liam is primarily the stronger of the two on the surface, as events materialise, their obvious dependence on each other manifests itself in ways hardly mundane or run of the mill. Their experiences cascade, intertwined indelibly through a mutual respect, hard to define, but nonetheless obvious. To say that the narrative is only about the two friends is misleading. Many other individuals, family, friends, and some not so friendly, are all integral pieces of the jigsaw. All the events eventually come together in a climactic scenario that affects everybody. However, hope springs eternal.
