Download or read book A History of Wirral written by Stephen J. Roberts and published by Phillimore. This book was released on 2007 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wirral peninsula is a microcosm, having experienced every historical development to have affected England since the Stone-Age hunter-gatherers came. Inhabited in the Bronze and Iron Ages, it was exploited by Romans from their nearby fortress of Deva, then settled by Celts, Anglo-Saxons and Scandinavians. Its growing medieval population mainly lived by farming and fishing, but the 19th century brought dramatic changes-colonisation by wealthy Liverpudlians, then the rapid growth of the great urban and industrial centres of Ellesmere Port, Birkenhead and Wallasey. Every aspect of the past lives of its people is explored, and how they moulded today's Wirral.

Download or read book An Unexpected MP written by Jerry Hayes and published by Biteback Publishing. This book was released on 2014-03-17 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some people enter politics because they want to make the world a better place. Then there are those with welldeserved inferiority complexes who want status, power and position. Few believe me, but I entered the House of Commons purely by accident.' High virtue in high office? Not a chance, says Jerry Hayes. No staid autobiography or dry political memoir, An Unexpected MP takes you on a raucous and salacious romp through Westminster, the media and public life. In this no-holds-barred exposé, Jerry Hayes shows exactly why people were so surprised when he became an MP - from the duty policeman who told him to bugger off when he rolled up on his first day, to the Iron Lady herself, who looked with a steely eye on his cheerful chutzpah. And, as the perfect antidote to the holier-than-thou, whiter-than-white ways of the current crop of politicos, the shameless - and shamelessly entertaining - Hayes makes a brilliant tour guide to the strange country that is Parliament, taking gleeful swipes at left and right alike. Full of tall tales of unspeakable debauchery on a tsunami of alcohol, An Unexpected MP is a thundering account of the offbeat lunacy of Westminster and Fleet Street.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across galactic timelines and landscapes, earth-descended humanity continues the fight against non-living, life hating Berserkers. Along with powerful allies of plants, sea creatures, computerized personalities, mythic men and a fictional detective, life struggles against its unliving foe. In cleaver hands, even the foibles of human personalities can be used against the unliving Berserker foe. Berserkers are automated warships, made by an unknown race to fight in an interstellar war that had been over ages since; they have outlasted their original enemies and their makers as well, having been programmed and equipped to rebuild and reproduce themselves. Still trying to carry out their originally programmed task, they made age-long progress across the spiral arms, leaving nothing living in their wake. This volume of fourteen tales, together with the Berserkers The Early tales, constitute a complete collection of Saberhagen authored Berserker stories. The stories The Bad Machines and Servant Of Death have not appeared previously in any Saberhagen collection.
Download or read book Crafty Characters written by Mike Neville and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2023-09-17 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many Freemasons have made the world a better place, while some have been villainous criminals. Members of the Craft have developed forensic science, solved famous crimes and invented all manner of things. Several members of the Royal Family have also been members. Masons have been very active in the criminal justice system, both as 'goodies' and 'baddies': it was a mason who formed the Special Branch to fight terrorism and another who brought the Moors Murders to an end. In some cases, such as the Cleveland Street Scandal, masons found themselves on both sides of the law. The medical profession is also well represented in lodges. Happily, it was a member of the Craft who rescued the Elephant Man, while another masonic doctor was the first to identify an occupational cancer. On the other side of the coin, there have been several evil masonic doctors who committed murder, and one masonic surgeon may have committed regicide, although his motives were merciful. This tells the stories of weird and wonderful masons too - celebrities, film makers, soldiers, explorers, world-famous businessmen, politicians, forgers and scoundrels. There are masons of every character, and all are covered in this book.
