John Yeadon and Rowland Kitchen were my ancestors. Each in their own way were exceptional men. They found that they had a life which was theirs to direct. This is what happened.

Yeadon was a woollen textile town in Yorkshire. A tough, hard-working kind of place. This book is a collection of stories about some people who I am related to who ended up there over the centuries. It's a book about events, consequences and owning ones own future.

In the beginning their were three brothers. Sneaky, Slinky and Daft Beggar as they were called by their father. This is the story of the first. His 'Bird on the wire' life, his death walking the Camino de Santiago and my trip across Spain to give him a funeral. As he always used to say..."We have two lives. The first is the ordinary one. The second is the one we have when we realise that we only have one life...and it is happening now. This is how it was for my brother Sneaky. The laughs and some good tunes, the pain and the love.

A biography of an exceptional man. John Yeadon became aware that he had a life and that it was his to direct. It became his project. Self education and unbounded energy drove this project forward. His stage was a small industrial town in the West Riding of Yorkshire over almost decades in the 18th and 19th centuries. He kept a diary for more than fifty of those years and through that we get to know about life in the town, his view of the wider world and most of all his involvement in an unruly Methodist chapel. John's large family, his neighbors and people who pass through the place populate the pages. This book is a view of his life drawn from John's own accounts and extensive research.. It is also a view into the mind of a man who believed he was 'Doing the Work of Wesley', his failings and anxieties.

Earth's climate is changing. This book investigates the scientific, environmental, social, political, and economic aspects of climate change. It enables students to reach an informed opinion and encourages active engagement in finding solutions.It begins with a strong introduction to the scientific factors that drive natural and anthropogenic climate change and expands over three chapters to explore the impact of greenhouse gases on the distribution of solar energy across land, sea, ice, and air. The author examines geologically ancient climates in order to highlight possible future scenarios, and case studies from around the world highlight the impact of climate change on the physical and human environment. The final chapters investigate how society can respond to the challenges of climate change and overcome the political, social, and economic factors that are barriers to progress, focusing on the role of energy policy, fiscal policy, and risk assessment as a means to stimulate discussion about science, society, and the role of the media. Science is the foundation of any solution, but to turn this knowledge into action requires the application of a broad set of skills that are rooted in the liberal arts experience such as critical thinking, analytical thinking, problem solving, and communication.This textbook will be an essential resource for students taking courses in environmental geography, climate change, natural hazards, climatology, and meteorology.
