    In this fascinating memoir, Woods traces his 60-year odyssey in journalism, a career that included witnessing the bomb-shattered wartime devastation in Britain during which he placed a saucepan on his head to escape bomb damage, and the aftermath of much of the obliteration of German cities in World War II. Poet Robert Frost described the road not taken as one of good and bad choices that have a lasting bearing on one's future life and career. Woods shares about his choices and historical surroundings, and the literary and other characters he has encountered along the way. He also tells the harrowing story of the illness and death of his 19-year-old son.Woods writes with a journalist's perceptive ear and eye and always with a crusading sense of protecting good English from such potentially dangerous excrescences as dangling participles and abstract nouns. He not only has a passion for language but also for extracting the maximum in musings from the many interview subjects he has met. The Road Not Taken is a captivating account of Woods' incredible life and career.

    The year 1964 is a bad one for Brian Wilkins-and it's about to get worse. Son of an English farmer, Brian lives on a small, failing Kent farm facing bankruptcy. Depressed by his recent breakup, distraught by his mountainous money problems, Brian foolishly considers his discovery of a stash of stolen diamonds as good news. But just because the thieves were caught doesn't mean their loot is fair game. So when Brian heads to Antwerp to sell the gems, thinking he's riding off to find a fresh start, he has no idea the string of catastrophes he's set in motion. And though for a while things seem to go in his favor for once-love, money, success-disaster waits in the wings. From the ruthless Belgian who should have received the diamonds to the British agent who knows where Brian's wealth came from, Brian's once unexceptional life is beginning to look like a dangerous high-stakes game he can't win. A riveting international thriller, A Time to Pay is the story of an ordinary man who's facing the worst luck of his life but isn't willing to give up quite yet.

    Get ready to laugh. Lee Parsons has been sent from the All-American Insurance Agency to investigate a series of fire claims around the town of Sweet Springs.

It's about how people join forces either to build or burn a town to its foundations. "This is entertaining to read. You won't want this book to end as you laugh, cry and root for these characters." -Sharon Novell Lee kept talking, "Desperation leads to depravity. There is a lot of poverty out here. There's always a string of fires out in the country. You're going to think there's a serial arsonist out here but they aren't usually connected. It's just desperate people with the same really bad ideas. There's always a chance that these guys work together, the owner and his getaway, I mean. Get that file out on him. Where does it say he works?...The insurance agency pays us to find out the truth. That's all we are looking for."

    This is not a book about the school system as a whole or how governments can help or hinder school improvement. It is a book about supporting and inspiring leaders and teachers to help schools achieve ever greater success. By combining their extensive experience and knowledge of leading and improving schools, Tim Brighouse and David Woods deliver an authoritative and up-to-date overview of the principles of school improvement detailing the wide range of information, ideas and practices schools need to understand in order to be the best they possibly can. This comprehensive, dip-in A-Z guide introduces the characteristics, approaches and language of school improvement in 138 eclectic and engaging entries, including appreciative enquiry, literacy and student voice. The authors' unending supply of real school stories and experiences are the basis for the quotations, case studies and 'butterflies' (little ideas with big impact) that illustrate the entries and bring them to life. The A-Z of School Improvement is essential reading for any school leader, teacher or governor serious about improving their school, or indeed any parent eager to understand the ways in which their children's schools can be improved.
