The Old Lady Who Lived at the Bottom of the Lake
Years ago, probably before many of you were born, I would tell a story to the kids in my neighborhood on Village Drive in Morgantown, West Virginia, about an old lady who lived at the bottom of a lake. In this story, wicked "Old Lady" would come out at night and kidnap children to work for her in her dilapidated castle. Each time I told the story I changed it, and I would sometimes pretend to carry off some of the kids. They would laugh or scream in delight as I went after them. I knew then that I would have the story of Old Lady with me forever. And, here it is in the following pages, with Old Lady still being wicked, but ... well, you have to read it to find out what happens to her.Through the years, I have continued to tell this story to new young friends and family. If it wasn't for my great-grandson Mason, who gave me the inspiration to put the story in a children's book, I don't think it would have ever been written down. In the story, he is Captain Mason, who ... well, read it to see what he does.- Ron Iannone

Water & Wave
Praise for Water & WaveWith the uncanny clarity of the born observer, Eugene Datta, standing at the site of a martyr's death in Ganderbal, Kashmir, recalls how "An old woman / sobbed without tears as oblong drops / of the mustard field shone through holes in her earlobes." Or he is in a coffee shop in Jadavpur, West Bengal, recalling his student days there, "and the lost faces wrapped / in that damp smell of the south wind in spring / (which made the heart twinge, / without fail, / in that one special way / that couldn't be named)." What becomes clear, as Datta moves fluidly across boundaries of countries and cultures, and his own past and present, is that he is an extraordinary writer-cosmopolitan, erudite, achingly lyrical. His poems remind me of why I came to poetry in the first place.- George Bilgere From delicate haiku-like miniatures in which "thoughts lie white / on the black filigree / of branches," to "January 2022," a poem wide-ranging enough to encompass simultaneous global disasters, Eugene Datta knows that to imagine pain "isn't equal to suffering it." Even so, the poet's ability to comprehend-that is, to both understand and hold close all that he observes-is lovingly confirmed in poems whose agile language serves a deeper purpose: to acknowledge, with empathy, the shadows and light of worlds both seen and unseen. Throughout Water & Wave, Datta's vision is distinguished by a meditative openness that wisely asks, "if you can receive as a mirror / does, without effort, without bias, / everything in front of it, / ...who can tell / if you haven't, for that instant, for all / your flaws, been a bodhisattva?" In the light of such poems, Eugene Datta's benevolent intelligence shines.- Ned BalboAbout the AuthorEUGENE DATTA has worked as a newspaper journalist, a book reviewer, and an editor. His poetry and fiction have appeared widely both online and in print, with some of his work being anthologized, and translated into German, French, and Italian. A recipient of the Stiftung Laurenz-Haus fellowship, he has held residencies at Ledig House International Writers' Colony, and Fundaci籀n Valpara穩so. Born and raised in India, he lives in Aachen, Germany. Water & Wave is his first collection of poetry.

He Leadeth Me!
This is a true story of God's intervention in the life of an uneducated village boy in India. God's personal call to Thang (Rev.

Destiny Stopped Screaming
Mojo Magazine "Compelling from the first page, an assiduously researched biography of The Sound's frontman". ****Record Collector Magazine: "Compelling biography of an underappreciated cult hero. This homage to the late Adrian Borland is a labour of love, exhaustively researched and deep on detail. A devotional tribute to a tormented titan". ****Louder than War: "A book of great integrity and substance.The detail is vivid and tangible. As much a reference book as a biography and on both counts it works. Thoroughly recommended".David Quantick: "A fascinating and emotive insight into Adrian Borland's career. Very powerful".Penny Black Music "Destiny Stopped Screaming is an informative but sympathetic account of the life of a troubled but gifted songwriter" . Mick Mercer "A stunning biography of one of Britain's best songwriters. What keeps you surging through it is Simon's love of the music and detailed coverage and examination of the songs, something a biography would usually ignore. Normally the bulk of any biography covers the best known years and then everything tails off, but here we have consistent coverage, which is brilliant. This is a glorious tribute, one of which he can be very proud." . Post-Punk.com: "A riveting biography, this work stands as a significant tribute to the haunting brilliance of the British singer, songwriter and guitarist." (sic) Magazine: "Heavisides' hefty tome gives us honest insights into the multi-faceted, real human being at the heart of it all. It is an exhaustive, excellent and, for fans like me, essential read."Carlo van Putten: "Masterfully balances empathy and objectivity. A captivating portrait of Adrian's musical journey with The Sound that gives the reader a new understanding of the power of music to change and touch lives and hearts."Adrian Borland, was singer/guitarist and main songwriter with The Sound, a band who between 1979 and 1987 released seven albums that never failed to be at the very least full of passion and raw emotion. They made their debut with the "Physical World" EP but it wasn't until the release of the "Jeopardy" album in 1980 that it became clear how special the band was. Two more albums for WEA followed, "From The Lions Mouth" and "All Fall Down", which resulted in the band leaving the label. Indie label Statik signed the band and released "Shock Of Daylight" and "Heads & Hearts" along with the double live album "In The Hothouse". A move to the Belgium based Play It Again Sam brought with it the band's final album "Thunder Up". They disintegrated at the end of 1987.Luckily Adrian continued with a solo career that whilst different in many ways to The Sound, still displayed all the rare qualities that made them such a loved band.His final solo album 5:00 A.M, avoided echoing past glories but re-established the qualities for which the band had become renowned and successfully placed them in a contemporary setting, making this an ideal staring point for the uninitiated. His last finished work was the second White Rose Transmission album "700 Miles Of Desert".Sadly Adrian often fell into deep depression, with lyrics from his last songs indicating his state of mind before he took his own life on April 26 1999.Adrian's albums showcased the unflinching honesty and sensitivity that was his forte. In the end it was maybe that self-same sensitivity that made life just too painful for Adrian. This is his story.

End of Flower Power
This is not an analysis or a dissertation on the rise and fall of the movement known as Flower Power. It is but one of many stories that took place at the end of that memorable era.It is the last year of the tumultuous sixties when Case, a young officer in the Merchant Marine, signs on as third mate on the S.S. Flower Power, an old rusty freighter on its last legs bound for India. Within a day he realizes that the crew is scraped together from the four corners of the world and that that motley bunch of ruffians is commanded by a chaotic Greek captain whom he nicknamed "Peachfuzz".During a stopover in Manila the animosities between the crew members vanish as George, an able-bodied seaman, meets the prostitute Carmen and falls for her like a ton of bricks. She is the perfect answer to his troubled soul. He intends to marry her and adopt her little daughter at any cost.But how is he going to pull this off in just eight hours?The entire crew conspires to sneak the future bride and her three-year old daughter aboard so that the captain can marry them once they are on the high seas. Peachfuzz however is unaware of the covert operation. He'd just as soon throw the stowaways overboard to avoid any hassle with the authorities.But Case, who is inadvertently drawn into this conspiracy, has a secret weapon with which he can convince Peachfuzz into performing a marriage on the high seas in the best of maritime traditions. After chaotic preparations and a hilarious ceremony George and Carmen were joined in marriage by Captain Peachfuzz. It was a wedding to remember and it fused the bitterly divided crew into a solid corps by coming to the rescue of a desperate shipmate.Was this all part of a predetermined plan or was it pure coincidence that this took place on a ship with the very same name as that of the roaring Flower Power Era? Or was this union of two lovers just one of the last hurrah's of this turbulent decade?

Two Grow Up In Dorset
If you grew up in the 1960s or 1970s you'll probably remember a life far removed from today's face-paced world. This enchanting book will transport you back to those simpler times. Based on a series of podcasts aired on local radio, cousins Jeanette Hardiman and Jackie Spiteri have brought together the best of their 'ramblings' together with a collection of evocative photographs gathered from both personal and local sources. This book takes you on a journey through village life, school life, the workplace, the High Street, food, fashion, hairstyles and a number of quirky customs in addition to popular music, films and TV of the time. Although the cousins spent their childhoods in neighbouring Dorset villages, much of the content touches on the social changes affecting many people in Great Britain during the 60s and 70s.
Curling In Cornwall 1784 - 1908
Although often described as distinctly Canadian, primarily for the enlightenment of curlers as well as scholars studying the social evolution of Canada, curling transcends its historical roots in Canada, extending back further than the formal establishment of the nation-state. Canada's prolonged interaction with this pastime has, quite predictably, led to a national association with its progression and innovation. The narrative and historical journey of curling in and around Cornwall traces its origins back to the era when the area was first settled by Loyalists, and continues through to the sport's temporary decline in 1908.

Risky Fertility Behaviour and Neonatal Mortality Risk in Nigeria
Neonatal mortality which refers to the death of a newborn within the first 28 days of life has remained a significant public health concern, especially in low-income countries where the rates remain high. On the other hand, risky fertility behaviour including early childbearing, high parity, and inadequate spacing between pregnancies, has been identified as a major contributing factor to neonatal mortality. Previous studies have found that early childbearing and high parity have been associated with increased risks of preterm birth, low birth weight, and neonatal mortality. Furthermore, inadequate spacing between pregnancies can lead to adverse neonatal outcomes due to maternal depletion and increased risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth. However, good health-seeking behaviour, antenatal care attendance, facility, and skilled birth delivery no doubt play a crucial role in reducing the risk of neonatal mortality, especially among young mothers. Hence, in this book, using data from Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), we explore the correlation between risky fertility behaviour and neonatal mortality rates among adolescent mothers in Northern Nigeria characterized by a high prevalence of early childbirth and poor health-seeking behaviour. Findings from the study reported in this book provide additional evidence linking risky fertility and adverse neonatal outcomes and the mediating effect of good health-seeking behaviour. In part, this book recommends empowering young mothers and promoting healthy pregnancies for a brighter future.
