A witty and entertaining portrait of society documented by A Regency Lady.Life, even in the provinces, can be entertaining if only one has the means with which to enjoy it. But since my jewels spend more time in town than I do - albeit at the pawnbroker - I am forced to be more than a little resourceful.With visits from my charming but wayward younger sister Georgiana, who has made an art form of losing chaperones, a mother-in-law who would not dream of interfering and house guests who all too often outstay their welcome, I hardly have the time to strive for self improvement but I am determined to add to my accomplishments and therefore be more interesting than my neighbours and certainly more fascinating than my Treasured Spinster Friend Susan Simmons - not difficult as she is NINE and TWENTY and still a SPINSTER. So this year I intend to embark upon a path of reading, travel and mixing with Harrogate's circle of Artistic Types. A lady must always make an effort to add another string to her bow no matter how pressed for time - or coin - she may be.If only there was a legacy in the offing ...The Diary of a Regency Lady - a fresh and amusing take on a modern Regency marriage.

Farspace 2 is, at times, darker, more cautionary and less care-free than its predecessor. It is an exploration of the dangers of the future that we will be challenged with, should our species be so fortunate to reach that distant land. There are stories about control-by entities that want to harm or protect us. Stories about exploration-not the happy, "everything is wonderful out there and all will be great if we only go" stories, but rather the "yes it's dangerous out there, and we can get killed, but we still need to go" stories. Yet, ultimately, Farspace 2 is an anthology of hope and promise for the future, an anthology that urges us to keep moving forward despite the hardships we might find along the way, an anthology that reminds us of what it means to be human.

Few images evoke a more powerful or frightening reaction than that of the assassin. Silently creeping into your room while you sleep, they plunge a pick deep inside your brain, or fill your snoring nostrils with poisonous vapour. Or perhaps skilled fingers from the shadows strike a vital point during mid-step; the coroners say it was a heart attack. Assassins are people to be feared, no doubt. But what do they fear? What do they dream of? What life, what world, are they longing to achieve with their actions? Is the killing just a job or is there some deeper motivation that drives them? And what happens when it all goes wrong? In Assassins' Canon the full gamut of would-be killers is explored: gangsters, henchmen, soldiers, newly-weds, the reluctant, the willing, the skilled, and the novice. And, for better or worse, all must bear the consequences of their choices.

The image of the Caribbean is as much a creation of the West as it is the result of its population's incredibly complex identity. A melting pot of races born of the 400-year slave trade--Africans, indigenous Americans and their French, Spanish, German, Dutch and English colonizers--the identity of the Caribbean stands at the intersection of tourism, colonialism and tropicality. This deluxe large-format volume features hundreds of fascinating and unique photographs that span 100 years of Caribbean history, culture, industry and more, as well as the subsequent diaspora of its people to America, England and elsewhere. The photographs show the many ways in which the region has been portrayed, from tropical backdrop of tourism and hedonism to colonial outpost and revolutionary threat in North America's own backyard. The introduction is by Paul Gilroy, author of The Black Atlantic, There Ain't No Black in the Union Jack and Black Britain: A Photographic History (2004), among others.

At the start of the 1960s, jazz entered a unique new period of revolution as African-American musicians redefined the art form in the context of the civil rights movement, afro-centric rhythm and thought and an ideology of black economic empowerment. John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, Sun Ra, Pharoah Sanders, Albert Ayler and others developed a new cosmology of sound that was as revolutionary as the social and political changes that took place in America throughout the decade. From the musical explorations of John Coltrane, Cecil Taylor and Ornette Coleman, to the collective and community concerns of Chicagos Advancement for Creative Musicians and the black science fiction of Sun Ra, the new jazz musicians created a musical and cultural landscape from which jazz music never looked back. This large-format deluxe hardback book features hundreds of stunning photographs of the new jazz musicians in the USA throughout the 1960s presented with introductory essay and biographies on the many artists included in the book.
