As the third book of the Brian Ridley series opens, Brian is one of several engineers building a new 1,200-bed hospital near Benghazi, Libya. He soon realizes his mistake in coming to the country and returns home to England, only to find work hard to come by. Eventually he finds a job at a frozen meat processing plant and things seem to be fine. After a few months, however, Brian begins to have disputes with management when they don’t see things the same way. Brian is framed for something he didn’t do, is wrongly charged with theft, and loses his job. With time on his hands and his career in ruins, Brian sets out to prove his innocence. But he is forced to plead guilty in court or his family will be put at risk. Will the truth come out so he can be exonerated? Run Away is a gripping tale of big business versus the little guy.

Steal Away

By: Barrie Wigley

This is a story of Elise, a world-class pianist. Although starting to show signs of her years, she was still nonetheless a very attractive woman as well as a first-class musician. She had been married to Herman Mies Van Der Rohe for some twenty-seven years. Herman was a successful banker. He had joined the Goldsworth Commercial Bank after first graduating from the London Kings College and then the Westminster University, where he studied finance and languages. Herman was born in England, although his mother was Austrian and his father was Swiss. His parents had come to England soon after the end of the Second World War. Hermans Father, Hedrick, had been offered a position at one of the first Swiss banks to have a branch in London.

Get Away

By: Barrie Wigley

Set mainly on the high seas, Get Away is an action-adventure novel and the sequel to Sail Away. Get Away continues the story of the four main characters: recently appointed M16 agent Brian Ridley and senior M16 officer Martin Merryweather, and criminals Gustav Krause and Yoseph Lee. Gustav and Yoseph have been found guilty of crimes against humanity and are sentenced to prison terms of twenty-five and twenty years, respectively. While in prison, Gustav, a billionaire industrialist, plans his next moves with the help of conspirators on the outside. He has big plans, and staying in prison is not on his agenda. When Gustav escapes, Brian is called in by his M16 superior Martin, due to his knowledge of supertankers, where some of the action is taking place. In the midst of all this, Brian becomes romantically involved with an old girlfriend, which eventually leads to wedding bells. Although this is a work of fiction, real-life events are woven into the plot, giving the story a gritty realism that evolves into a thrilling climax.

Architecture, Culture, and Spirituality

By: Thomas Barrie,Julio Bermudez,Phillip James Tabb

Architecture has long been understood as a cultural discipline able to articulate the human condition and lift the human spirit, yet the spirituality of architecture is rarely directly addressed in academic scholarship. The seventeen chapters provide a diverse range of perspectives, grouped according to topical themes: Being in the World; Sacred, Secular, and the Contemporary Condition; Symbolic Engagements; Sacred Landscapes; and Spirituality and the Designed Environment. Even though the authors’ approach the subject from a range of disciplines and theoretical positions, all share interests in the need to rediscover, redefine, or reclaim the sacred in everyday experience, scholarly analysis, and design.

Climate Change

The Science, Impacts and Solutions

By: A. Barrie Pittock

It is widely accepted in the scientific community that climate change is a reality, and that changes are happening with increasing rapidity. In this second edition, leading climate researcher Barrie Pittock revisits the effects that global warming is having on our planet, in light of ever-evolving scientific research. Presenting all sides of the arguments about the science and possible remedies, Pittock examines the latest analyses of climate change, such as new and alarming observations regarding Arctic sea ice, the recently published IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, and the policies of the new Australian Government and how they affect the implementation of climate change initiatives. New material focuses on massive investments in large-scale renewables, such as the kind being taken up in California, as well as many smaller-scale activities in individual homes and businesses which are being driven by both regulatory and market mechanisms. The book includes extensive endnotes with links to ongoing and updated information, as well as some new illustrations. While the message is clear that climate change is here (and in some areas, might already be having disastrous effects), there is still hope for the future, and the ideas presented here will inspire people to take action. Climate Change: The Science, Impacts and Solutions is an important reference for students in environmental or social sciences, policy makers, and people who are genuinely concerned about the future of our environment.

Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland, Volume 2

Boundaries, Behaviours and Bodies

By: David G. Barrie,Susan Broomhall

Volume 2 of this two-volume companion study into the administration, experience, impact and representation of summary justice in Scotland explores the role of police courts in moulding cultural ideas, social behaviours and urban environments in the nineteenth century. Whereas Volume 1, subtitled Magistrates, Media and the Masses, analysed the establishment, development and practice of police courts, Volume 2, subtitled Boundaries, Behaviours and Bodies, examines, through themed case studies, how these civic and judicial institutions shaped conceptual, spatial, temporal and commercial boundaries by regulating every-day activities, pastimes and cultures. As with Volume 1, Boundaries, Behaviours and Bodies is attentive to the relationship between magistrates, the police, the media and the wider community, but here the main focus of analysis is on the role and impact of the police courts, through their practice, on cultural ideas, social behaviours and environments in the nineteenth-century city. By intertwining social, cultural, institutional and criminological analyses, this volume examines police courts’ external impact through the matters they treated, considering how concepts such as childhood and juvenile behaviour, violence and its victims, poverty, migration, health and disease, and the regulation of leisure and trade, were assessed and ultimately affected by judicial practice.

Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland, 2-volume set

By: David G. Barrie,Susan Broomhall

Taking the form of two companion volumes, Police Courts in Nineteenth-Century Scotland represents the first major investigation into the administration, experience, impact and representation of summary justice in Scottish towns, c.1800 to 1892. Each volume explores diverse, but complementary, themes relating to judicial practices, relationships, experiences and discourses through the lens of the same subject matter: the police court. Volume 1, subtitled Magistrates, Media and the Masses, provides an institutional, social and cultural history of the establishment, development and practice of police courts. It explores their rise, purpose and internal workings, and how justice was administered and experienced by those who attended them in a variety of roles. Special attention is given to examining how courtroom discourse was represented in print culture, the role of the media in providing a discursive commentary on summary justice, and the ways in which magistrates and the police engaged in a law and order dialogue with the press. Throughout, consideration is given to uncovering the relationship between magistrates, the courts, the police and the wider community, and to charting the implications of the rise of summary justice and the ’police-man’ state for the urban masses (as evidenced through prosecution, conviction and punishment patterns). Volume 2, subtitled Boundaries, Behaviours and Bodies, examines, through themed case studies, how these civic and judicial institutions shaped conceptual, spatial, temporal and commercial boundaries by regulating every-day activities, pastimes and cultures. As with Volume 1, Boundaries, Behaviours and Bodies is attentive to the relationship between magistrates, the police, the media and the wider community, but here the main focus of analysis is on the role and impact of the police courts, through their practice, on cultural ideas, social behaviours and environments in the nineteenth-century city.
