This is the definitive account of the life and work of Edward Seago (1910-1974), the highly popular, versatile and talented British painter whose work was inspired by John Sell Cotman, John Constable and Alfred Munnings.

This beautifully illustrated book is the first full-length critical study to focus on the works of fine artist and printmaker, Tirzah Garwood (1908-1951), wife of artist Eric Ravilious.

In this book, the author emphasizes the need for a positive and constructive approach to American politics. He has argued that instead of focusing on bringing others down, candidates should concentrate on presenting their own merits to voters' support. The book advocates for a transformation of America's voting system, placing greater emphasis on serving the people's needs rather than benefiting the candidates. The author laments the current state of American politics, where negative campaigning has led to division within the nation. He has suggested that it is the responsibility of candidates, not the people, to bridge this divide and promote unity through respectful discourse.

Despite the fact that eleven very various deaths are recounted in these four stories (plus an ineffective attempt at mass murder), it is the variety of lives and voices that this collection celebrates. As John Kerrigan wrote of Russell's first collection of poems, "I find an exciting range of structures in the collection, always reaching out for a scale that can catch the amplitude of life." We hear how a super-head's life is brought into the light by a cerebral event and a trip to Paris, how a Cambridge philosophy postgrad's budding sense of moral outrage blossoms into tragedy, how a Californian schoolteacher in the very early years of the 20th Century is accidentally given a fatal power that leads her to Greenwich Village, and how a seemingly blind actor comes to wonder if his dreams are illuminating or occluding his life.

From the dusty back roads of Carson Creek and busy streets of downtown Willowgrove, to racing under the stars at the local drag strip, The Ballad of Carson Creek - Class of '61 takes you on a nostalgic journey through a simpler time, when happiness was an ice-cold bottle of Coke and a tank full of gas, love was a pretty head on a strong shoulder, and life was brimming with freedom and possibility. Join headstrong Toby LaRue and his '34 Ford in this captivating coming-of-age tale, through the Rockwellian, carefree innocence that was mid-century America.

An epic portrait of Gary Bell, the hot-rodding loner, lover, and local legend, 'The Ballad of Carson Creek - The Lone Wolf' is a three part saga that takes you on a grand journey across one rebel's life, weaving you through heartbreaking tragedies and blissful triumphs. Set against a backdrop of the small, rural town of Carson Creek, in an age when the only place better than being behind the steering wheel was being in the backseat, when drive-ins and drag strips reigned supreme, 'The Lone Wolf' spans over two decades of mid-Century Americana in a series of short stories that document Mr. Bell's daring exploits, his passionate relationships, and his constant, secret struggle to come to grips with a grim past. Part 2: 'The Carson Valley Kid', taking place from 1955 to 1959, follows The Lone Wolf as he traverses his tumultuous teenage years; through love, heartbreak, loss, and triumph, all the while continuing to weave the epic tapestry that is the life of a legend...

Something of the spirit of Virgil's poem has been transposed to southern England in1959. All of the major and most of the minor events and characters are here, the events refracted through modernity or new narratives, the characters thinly disguised (Laocoön is Loud Colin; the harpies are Mrs Harpic; Pallas is Patsy), and the relocations easy to spot (Troy is in Richmond; Carthage is a village in Wiltshire; the games are in Weymouth; the nascent Rome is Bristol). But readers need to know nothing of The Aeneid (or even to have heard of it) to enjoy this freewheeling, humorous, and socially reflective verse novel. In an addendum, Virgil's founding myth of the Roman Empire becomes the founding myth of the digital world.
