Scousers believe they live in a special place, one that has more in common with Salvador da Bahia, New Orleans or Gdansk than anywhere in Engl&, & the city has always punched above its weight. In less than a hundred years, however, Liverpool`s image has declined from a major mercantile player known as the Second City of the Empire to what some social commentators have described as a cultural backwater remembered largely as the place where the Beatles were born. In ” Liverpool: The Hurricane Port”, Andrew Lees reveals how Liverpool`s pre-eminence in the slave trade left an indelible scar on the psychogeography of the city. He also explores the roots of Liverpool`s contrary nature, its rebelliousness & its hedonism, as well as some of the recent hurricanes that have battered the city, including the anger of Toxteth, the Hillsborough disaster & the murder of James Bulger. In this distinctly personal account, Lees defines the characteristics of this Celtic enclave, with her loudmouthed, big-hearted people who have created a city quite different from anywhere else in the world. ...

The only novel from bestselling author Alice Munro, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature Catching frogs, grazing knees, singing songs to save England from Hitler
- that was childhood for Del Jordan, & now she`s impatient for more. More than she can find in the encyclopedias sold by her mother, or in the half-understood innuendos dispensed by best friend Naomi, or in the whispers of boys during Friday night dances. Just like the girls in the movies, she wants to get started on real life. In her only novel, Alice Munro turns her eye to the frustrations, embarrassments, glee & bewilderment of adolescence, & to the brushes with sex, death, violence & birth that shape the lives of girls & women.
