Ellen Margaret Brunelle thought jokes should be banned - jokes about paedophiles that is.
She often thought how terrible it must be to be a kid who was being abused and to hear the whole world laughing at them. It was worse than the very worst virus - child abuse - and the damage spread just as quickly.
Teenage Ellen knew that Myra Hindley had been treated worse than an animal when she was a child. And although she knew that there was no excuse whatsoever for that woman's vile behaviour, she also knew how Myra's childhood and how she eventually turned out as an adult proved just how easily a young mind could be savaged.
She was very much aware of all the websites that existed - websites that were blatantly encouraging lewd and depraved behaviour. Not only were innocent children being abused, but babies were actually being sexualised from birth.
It was horrendous. It was all so terribly and despicably wrong in Ellen's eyes - and not enough was being done to stop it.
But it seemed like people didn't want to know, or want to read, or want to hear about it - sometimes even when it was happening under their own roofs - sometimes even to their own children.
There were those who didn't want to upset the apple cart by facing up to it, those who didn't want their apparently perfect lives ruined by divulging such atrocities going on under their own roofs.
In Miss Brunelle's eyes those types were almost as bad as the abuser - those who covered up, those who refused to listen, those who refused to believe, and those who let it continue...
But then there was the other end of the scale - the liars who blatantly lie and make it all up.
That well known adage often rang true... "Ain't no fury like a woman scorned."
And those who lie and bring a good man down are as bad as any abuser - just like she herself had done?
Perhaps.

For more than a century, Dr. Thomas Neill Cream has been listed as a potential 'Jack the Ripper' suspect. Indeed, he was a sinister character, preying on the unfortunate souls who were forced to make a living as streetwalkers in Victorian London, and ultimately led those poor women to an untimely and torturous death. These crimes eventually branded him the 'Lambeth Poisoner'.
However, during the time of the heinous Ripper murders, Dr. Cream was incarcerated in Joliet Prison, Illinois. Over the decades, this fact alone has caused debate as to whether or not he deserves to be under suspicion of being the Whitechapel fiend. Was it possible that Dr. Cream bribed his way out of jail? Perhaps he used a doppelganger to take his place whilst secretly finding a passage to England with murder in mind?
This fascinating book, told from the standpoint of Cream himself, explains the twisted logic behind his actions. The author has done considerable and meticulous research, tracing Cream's life from his adolescent years in Canada to his last moment on the gallows at Newgate.

Series of Applied Linguistics: Stylistics

# data[].attributes.description
Stylistics is the scientific study of the language of literature. In this intelligent and well-researched book, Hasan Jaashan takes a close look at the language used in literature and how it makes it the important and enjoyable art form that it is.
Drawing on an extensive range of sources - but with particular focus on the novels of Ernest Hemingway - Jaashan forensically analyses the different components and styles of literary language. In turn, he looks at the importance of structure, word order, sounds and rhythms, vocabulary and much more in depth.
While this book is aimed at, and will be of obvious interest, to students of applied linguistics, it will also be of great interest to anyone who has a love of literature and wants to know more about how books work.

Q is a curious letter - worth ten points in Scrabble, rarely used, and usually followed by a U. Quite appropriately though, it is a recurring feature in the life of Quetzal Quinn. From quagmires to qualifications and from quizzes to quotations, the letter Q always seems to be there in Quetzal's life.
Ubiquitous Q is the heart-warming, life-affirming, and often humorous story of Quetzal, known simply as Q to her friends, from her childhood as a member of the Pugh family (when she was known as Q Pugh) to turning fifty and becoming a quinquagenarian.
With a loving family and good friends, whose fate and fortune often seem to be determined by their own names, Q has lived a varied and largely happy life. Ubiquitous Q is more than the story of one person though; it is the story of a family and community and their triumphs and tragedies. A story we can relate to and a story to warm our hearts.

Lillian Vickers, a pretty working class girl, is sent to work at a young age on a farm in Ludborough, Lincolnshire. It is around the start of the 20th century. In Lillian we follow her story as she negotiates her way through life: marriage, motherhood, the trials of family, and health. Through the eyes of her daughter, Dorothy Blake, we see the vicissitudes of family bonds, both strong and wicked, and how they stretch relationships between illness and healing, from blame to forgiveness.
Lillian is a heartfelt story touching on pathos but always drawing back to a hope that is held in continuation and in the future.

I have always loved the lines from Rudyard Kipling:

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same...

Career-wise, I guess I've experienced a 50/50 mix of the two, and I have always tried to turn a "No" into a "Yes"!'

Simon May is one of the most successful and celebrated composers for television the UK has ever produced. Best known for writing the EastEnders' theme - whose evocative drum beat gives this book its title - Simon's long and impressive list of TV themes includes the 1980s smash-hit drama series Howards' Way', as well as such perennial favourites as Holiday' and Animal Park'. In Doof Doof: My Life in Music, Simon describes the creation of these works, his lifelong vocation as a teacher and even his short-lived pop career, with self-deprecating humour and the sharp eye of the true professional.
With a wealth of music and TV anecdotes from Simon's more than 40 years in the business, Doof Doof is a vivid and engaging self-portrait of a successful composer, entrepreneurial businessman, earnest educator and committed family man.
