The story of Britain's fish and chips obsession 'A lyrical, amiable and educational celebration of what may be our greatest achievement: the chippy.' Stuart Maconie
When football disappeared in March 2020 Daniel Gray pledged that whenever and wherever fans were allowed to return, he would be there. A moving, heartfelt and amusing account of a unique season that no-one wishes to repeat.
John R Hume is Scotland's foremost expert on industrial heritage. John's greatest passion was - and is - industry. Over the course of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, he took over 25,000 photographs of late-industrial and post-industrial Scotland. His collection is a remarkable portrait of a way of life that has now all but vanished. His drive to act as a witness to Scotland's industrial empire, and its steady disintegration, took him to every corner of the country.John's photography produces an exhaustive and objective record. Yet it also reveals remarkable and poignant glimpses of domestic life - children playing in factory ruins, high-rises emerging on the city skylines, working men and women dwarfed by the incredible scale of an already crumbling industrial infrastructure.In A Life of Industry, author Daniel Gray tells John's story, and the story of what has been lost - and preserved.

Daniel Gray widmet sich auf sehr charmante Weise all den Freunden rund ums Lesen - eine Hommage an das unvergleichliche Leben mit Büchern und eine hinreißende Lektüre.

Promising his cousin that he'll get an apology from an Internet bully, Tucker finds himself in a flame war that goes nuclear after a hacker is murdered. Now more hackers, the whole Twitterverse, and a relentless bounty hunter agree on one thing--Tucker is the killer and he must be stopped.
For Aloysius Tucker, taking his nine-year-old cousin Maria sledding is all about frozen toes and hot coffee in the warming house. It shouldn't involve chasing after Maria as she's led into a long black car by a stranger in a Bruins jacket. But by the end of the crisp December morning Maria is gone, her mother is dead, and her father--mafia don Sal--has been arrested for murder. Sensing blood in the water, would-be successors to Sal's criminal empire square off, agreeing on nothing but the idea that Sal's blood relative, Tucker, needs to be eliminated. Searching for Maria through sub-zero days and nights, Tucker persists even as his relentless efforts draw him into a deadly crossfire between every power-hungry crook in Boston. Praise: "Daniel is more than generous with the violence, guilt, tweets, craft brews, and compassion."--Kirkus Reviews "[An] enjoyable if complex third book of murder and mayhem with a...satisfying whirlwind of a resolution."--Publishers Weekly "The third Tucker outing features a gripping plot and engaging characters who are sure to satisfy readers of Vincent Lardo, Joseph Finder, and John Hart."--Library Journal "By any measure, [Child Not Found] is a terrific book. It's got a gripping plot, characters so real you can feel them, and a narrative voice that grips you by the heart and won't let go. A terrific read!"--John Gilstrap, author of Friendly Fire and the Jonathan Grave thriller series
