The powerful new bestseller from Josephine Cox – one of our foremost storytellers. It is 1902. Emily is sixteen years of age and blissfully in love with John, two years her senior. Together they are secretly planning a life, when they are violently driven apart.
Denied the man she loves, and dominated by a brutally possessive uncle, Emily is devastated when she is cruelly taken advantage of. When a child is born, her life is in tatters. And she cannot reveal the identity of the father to anyone, or there will be a terrible price to pay.
Trapped and ashamed, she seeks solace in her daughter, Cathleen, but there is little consolation. As time passes, and still there is no sign of the man she loved, Emily resigns herself to the fact that he may never return, and her life begins to take another direction. However, John is never far from her mind. Is her love still waiting for her?
But when history threatens to repeat itself and the father of her child once again preys on her, she must put all thoughts of John aside and find a way to safeguard her daughter.

| Things I’ve Learned From Women Who’ve Dumped Me |

Relationships end. And in most cases, even the most callow among us learn something from the experience, whether it be major life lessons (”If you lie, you will get caught”), simple truths (”Flowers work”), or something wholly unique (”Watch out for the high strung brother in the military”).This anthology, which includes contributions from an impressive list of comedic and creative minds, including Stephen Colbert, Andy Richter, Bob Odenkirk, Dan Savage (Savage Love), and Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne), is about that salient something men take away from failed relationships.
Not a touchy-feely, self-help book, this is packed with smart, funny, and insightful stories from men you probably thought never got dumped—or if they did, would never admit it.

‘You see this creature with her kerbstone English: the English that will keep her in the gutter to the end of her days. Well, sir, in three months I could pass that girl off as a duchess at an ambassador’s garden party. I could even get her a place as lady’s maid or shop assistant, which requires better English.’Following this public boast, Professor Henry Higgins accepts a challenge to teach the flower-seller Eliza Doolittle to speak standard English and launch her into polite society.
Through Higgins’s triumphant transformation of Eliza into a ‘lady’, and Eliza’s subsequent rebellion against Higgins’s attitudes and assumptions, Shaw’s provocative comedy explores questions of speech and class in England.
First performed in London in 1914, ‘ Pygmalion ‘ quickly established itself among the classic English comedies.
On this lively recording, which offers the complete text of the definitive script, the play is performed by a distinguished cast led by Sir Michael Redgrave , Sir Michael Hordern , Lynn Redgave and Donald Pleasence .

ZOOM takes readers inside the global race to build the car of the future, as pioneers in Japan, India, China, and the USA tackle the challenge of creating automobiles that will run on cleaner energy sources. As the authors succinctly write: “Oil is the problem. Cars are the solution.” We are living in the midst of a Great Awakening in which environmentalists, entrepreneurs, and political leaders are forming new alliances to end our addiction to oil and create new technologies. The days of Big Oil and Big Auto are numbered, according to the authors, who show how we are in the midst of a major transformation from carbon-based energy sources to new fuels and technologies.ZOOM traces the history of the linked industries of oil and automobiles, the “industry of industries,” and how the two have shaped domestic capitalism and the international landscape, creating both progress and peril. They explain how Toyota vanquished American competitors to become the world’s largest automobile manufacturer and, more importantly, a leader in hybrid cars using electric power. They take us into the boardrooms of oil executives and show how some are boldly exploring new energy sources while others deny the dangers posed by oil and risk extinction. We meet the Thomas Edison of the 21st century, a legendary inventor whose revolutionary work is already having a positive impact on the environment and the economy.
With wide-ranging analysis and a keen view of the key players in the intersecting worlds of energy and automobiles, authors Iain Carson and Vijay Vaitheeswaran tell the story of what may be the most important challenge facing the industrial world: How to make the transition from the Age of Petroleum to a cleaner and better future.
