The second installment in the Subway Trilogy follows the continuing adventures of Stacy Martin, a shy and talented high school Freshman with a gift for creative writing. Stacy explores the virtual worlds of her story inside the Directron super computer, evading sinister shooters and agents of The Institute as she tries to unravel the mystery of how to get 'back to the beginning'. Guided by the seemingly omniscient 'Little Girl', Stacy's journey takes her from the dark foreboding tunnels of the New York Subway to a fatalistic ledge atop the Empire State Building that seems to hold the key to her return. If Stacy can get back to the real world in time, she can stop The Institute's secret plan to turn kids into deadly shooters enslaved by a diabolical mind-control video game.

Christopher Taylor stammt aus Skegness, einem Ferienort an der Ostku¿ste Englands. Bei seinen Besuchen bei den Eltern entwickelte er den Wunsch, die Erinnerungen an seine Kindheit im Bild festzuhalten. Mit seiner Rolleiflex und einer Tasche voller abgelaufener Farbfilme, die er von einem befreundeten Journalisten bekommen hatte, machte er sich ans Werk. Fu¿r das Buch ergänzte der Fotograf seine gefu¿hlsbetonten Fotos durch chronologisch geordnete Familienschnappschu¿sse und andere Fundstu¿cke, die ihm bedeutsam erschienen. So wurde aus "Illuminations" ein Buch mit zwei Teilen, zwei Bu¿cher in einem. Taylors Tochter gestaltete das Buch und schloss damit den Kreis der Familiengeschichte.Christopher Taylor (*1958) ist studierter Zoologe und fotografischer Autodidakt und hat seine Arbeiten in Paris, Madrid, London, Beijing, Delhi, Mumbai und Kalkutta ausgestellt.

In The Black Carib Wars, Christopher Taylor offers the most thoroughly researched history of the struggle of the Garifuna people to preserve their freedom on the island of St. Vincent.Today, thousands of Garifuna people live in Honduras, Belize, Guatemala, Nicaragua and the United States, preserving their unique culture and speaking a language that directly descends from that spoken in the Caribbean at the time of Columbus. All trace their origins back to St. Vincent where their ancestors were native Carib Indians and shipwrecked or runaway West African slaves--hence the name by which they were known to French and British colonialists: Black Caribs.In the 1600s they encountered Europeans as adversaries and allies. But from the early 1700s, white people, particularly the French, began to settle on St. Vincent. The treaty of Paris in 1763 handed the island to the British who wanted the Black Caribs' land to grow sugar. Conflict was inevitable, and in a series of bloody wars punctuated by uneasy peace the Black Caribs took on the might of the British Empire. Over decades leaders such as Tourouya, Bigot, and Chatoyer organized the resistance of a society which had no central authority but united against the external threat. Finally, abandoned by their French allies, they were defeated, and the survivors deported to Central America in 1797.The Black Carib Wars draws on extensive research in Britain, France, and St. Vincent to offer a compelling narrative of the formative years of the Garifuna people.

Christopher Taylor shows why nineteenth-century British West Indian letters were remarkably un-British by exploring how West Indians reoriented their affective, cultural, and political worlds toward the Americas in response to the liberalization of the British Empire and the resulting imperial neglect.

This seminal study, from one of Britain's most eminent landscape historians, takes a chronological tour through British parks and gardens since Roman times.
