Waste Not Want Not
No-one wants toxic waste dumped in their back yard. Dioxins and furans from incinerators, dangerous chemicals leaching from landfill sites and the apparently random dumping of nuclear waste are all clear threats to our health and lives. In fact any waste not properly dealt with can become dangerous - yet industry and state seem to collude recklessly in its production. Robert Allen describes the waste produced in Britain and Ireland and the woefully inadequate means of dealing with it. He looks, too, at governmental intransigence and dishonesty and at industry's refusal to consider the needs of local communities. He also gives an account of the available legislation governing toxic waste and the degree to which it will need radical change in the face of a rapidly growing problem. Waste dumping impinges on people's lives, and he examines some of the very successful campaigns against the many ill-considered dumping grounds. As governments only respond to pressure, there are valuable lessons to be learnt from these campaigns. This book sets out the nature of the problem and provides a basis on which to tackle it. Originally published in 1992
The Resemblance
Lauren Nossett’s artfully written debut, The Resemblance is an exhilarating, atmospheric campus thriller reminiscent of If We Were Villains and The Likeness. Never betray the brotherhood On a chilly November morning at the University of Georgia, a fraternity brother steps off a busy crosswalk and is struck dead by an oncoming car. More than a dozen witnesses all agree on two things: the driver looked identical to the victim, and he was smiling. Detective Marlitt Kaplan is first on the scene. An Athens native and the daughter of a UGA professor, she knows all its shameful histories, from the skull discovered under the foundations of Baldwin Hall to the hushed-up murder-suicide in Waddel.

The Resurrection of Philip Clairmont
This is the record of the author's powerful and moving search for the artist Philip Clairmont which mingles elements of biography and art history with a personal quest. It is an unusual and brilliant piece of writing by the author of The Autobiography of My Father, which transcends categorization.
Dear Boy: The Life of Keith Moon
Keith Moon was more than just rock's greatest drummer, he was also its greatest character and wildest party animal. Fuelled by vast quantities of drink, drugs, insecurities and confusion, Moon destroyed everything with gleeful abandon: drum kits, houses, cars, hotels, relationships and, finally, himself. In Dear Boy, Tony Fletcher has captured lightning in a bottle – the essence of a totally incorrigible yet uniquely generous boy who never grew up, and who changed the lives of all who knew him. From a life distorted by myths of debauchery and comic anarchy, Fletcher has created a searingly personal portrait of the rock legend. From over 100 first-hand interviews, he traces with deadly accu...
History and Genealogy of the Bessey and Related Families
Jacob Bessey (1755-ca. 1810) from New York married Elizabeth Slough from Pennsylvania and became a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War, serving with Col. Butler's Rangers and the Loyalist Indians of Joseph Brant. After the war ended, Jacob and Elizabeth immigrated to a land grant on Ten Mile Creek in Ontario (the land was later part of Grantham Township, which later became part of the city of St. Catherines, Ontario). Jacob's brother Robert also was a Loyalist immigrant, but he was caught when he returned to New York to bring his aged father and his children back to Canada; Robert was tried for treason. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia and elsewhere. Includes some pedigree charts back to the early 1600s of some ancestors in the English colonies that later became the United States.
