New Releases by Chris Ellis

Blending battlefield experience, cutting-edge disaster research, and real-world stories of ranchers, homesteaders, and policymakers, Resilient Citizens is a gripping and essential guide for anyone ready to stop hoping and start preparing in an age of polycrisis and cascading collapse. Resilience is a mindset. From war zones to wildfires, pandemics to power outages, the threats we face today seem bigger, scarier, and more unrelenting than ever before. Why, then, does society take a critical view of those who prepare for the worst while hoping for the best? Why do so many people write them off as crazy, conspiracy-minded “doomsday preppers”? In Resilient Citizens, Army officer and disaster expert Dr. Chris Ellis challenges the myths, dismisses the fearmongering, and takes a much-needed, long-overdue scholarly look not just at prepper culture in America, but our overall social, physical, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual health. This isn’t another doomsday prepper guide or government-endorsed emergency brochure. It’s a deep dive into the people, perils, and politics of preparedness—from ranchers in the Rockies to policymakers globally—and a call to action for those who refuse to outsource their safety to luck or bureaucracy. Unpacking thousands of hours of research, Dr. Ellis will help you— Learn the traits and strategies of those best equipped to survive and thrive amid disaster. Understand the psychological roadblocks that keep people stuck in denial or helplessness. Discover how different belief systems, subcultures, and nations approach long-term resilience. Debunk popular myths about “preppers” and discover the truth behind America’s growing culture of preparedness. Examine the historical and political roots of America’s preparedness paradox. Reveal the number one resilience item every household must own. Whether you’re a concerned parent, a curious skeptic, or a seasoned survivalist, Resilient Citizens will challenge your assumptions and inspire you to think bigger, prepare smarter, and ensure your own survival in a chaotic world and uncertain future.

"A mystical, haunting romance beautifully disguised as a coming of age story. . ."Liam Oliver is only three years old when he first dreams about a wild night creature. One who comes to frighten him from out of the darkness of the orange groves beyond his bedroom window in his house on the edge of the small village of Indiantown. For sure, he's heard tales of the many wild beasts since he was born but now believes the creature has the ability to step out of his dreams and become real enough to touch him. Is it a wolf, as some say, or something far worse he fears? Someone knows, for his family has lived on the edge of the wilds on the family's fifty acres along the St Lucie Waterway since the Great Depression of the 1930s. And Liam has lots of cousins and aunts and uncles and his maternal grandparents to guide him as he grows up in the verdant paradise of the citrus district of South Florida. We follow Liam's, his many cousins' and his school friends' journeys along the way to adulthood. From when he meets his best friend Davey in first grade at Warfield school, all the way through his enrollment and advancement through Hightower Christian Academy for Boys. Follow him to a place in time where Liam must finally face The Wolf of Waterway Road.

Train photos from the 1970s and '80s, a broad representation of Daze's studio and mural works, and personal photos guide the reader through an artistic portfolio spanning five decades.

In recent years, historians have debated fervently on the reason for the decline of British Labour History as an academic discipline. Most certainly the challenge of Thatcherism to the working classes and trade unions in the 1980s, and the fragmentation of Labour history into gender studies, industrial studies and women’s history, have contributed to its apparent decline. Post-modernists’ challenges to the concept of class, culture and community have done their damage. As a result “Labour history”, in its broad-school sense, has been taught less and less in British universities. Yet it survives and there are grounds for believing that it will revive. This collection of chapters arose from a conference held at the University of Huddersfield in November 2010, held under the auspices of the Society for the Study of Labour History, where nineteen papers were presented. Ten of this disparate array of papers form the basis of this collection. The theme of community and localised struggle form the first section, ranging as it does from the newspapers’ representation of Yorkshire miners to brass bands and the development of separate culture. The second section deals with the more traditional trade unionism and varieties of industrial struggle. The third section focuses upon the political aspects of working-class activity, drawing upon the role of women, and Labour policy on steel nationalisation and defence. The fourth deals with radicalism, ranging from the failure of Chartism, the policy of working-class organisations to emigration, and the failure of the “soft” section of the British left in the 1920s and 1930s. There is no all-embracing concept here for what is a varied collection of chapters. However, what can be said is that British Labour history continues to provide new areas for research. Indeed, its death as an academic discipline has been greatly exaggerated. This collection of book chapters represents the current revival in Labour history which has emerged in a form that brings together community and culture alongside class and political representation to explore the breadth and depth of working-class identity.

Murder played out in the spotlight of maximum publicity Does celebrityhood preclude a fair trial? Can the famous get away with behaviour off limits to most ordinary mortals? Here in a fascinating diagnosis of the shifting nature of high-profile justice is the fullest ever analysis of infamous and celebrity murder cases that have come to trial. This A-list selection looks in depth at 25 notable murders involving those who live their lives in the full beam of press and media headlights, including film starlets, tv actors, music legends, comedians, fashion moguls, movie directors, playwrights and aristocracy from the start of the twentieth century to the present day. All, from Fatty Arbuckle to John Lennon, are well known, and in each instance the story of their death is retold and the degree to which fame and its entourage played their part in death's final outcome examined. Among the cases included are: o The investigation surrounding the death of American film and TV star Robert Blake's wife, shot in his car after they dined together in a restaurant o The murder of silent-film star Ramon Navarro in his own home by gay lovers o The death of soul legend Marvin Gaye, shot by his own father during a family row o TV personality Jill Dando's shocking and untimely murder, gunned down on in broad daylight on her doorstep o Italy's trial of Patrizia Gucci for the murder of her husband, Maurizio, inheritor of the fashion family's fabulous fortune. The Mammoth Book of Celebrity Murder provides the clearest analysis yet of murder played out in the spotlight of maximum publicity.

Russell Brockbank (1913-1979) was best known for his motoring, motor racing and aviation cartoons. His work was published in numerous magazines and journals, including Motor, Punch and Lilliput, and collections of his work appeared in several books, such as The Penguin Brockbank (1963), Brockbank's Grand Prix (1973) and The Best of Brockbank (1975). His association with Punch lasted over 30 years, and he was Art Editor from 1949 to 1960. He provided a weekly cartoon to Motor for over 20 years, often featuring his character 'Major Upset'. Brockbank's cartoons were characterized by a high degree of draftsmanship and he often went to great lengths to ensure that the cars and aircraft in his cartoons were as true-to-life as possible. They are also deliciously funny, so much so that many rate his as one of the top cartoonists from any genre. This book, using material provided by his daughter, would feature 100 of his best cartoons in an inexpensive, landscape-format paperback.

This volume presents the results of archaeological investigations undertaken at four sites in Kent. The two 'linear' schemes, the West Malling and Leybourne Bypass and Weatherlees-Margate-Broadstairs Wastewater Pipeline, provided transects across the landscape revealing settlement and cemetery evidence of Neolithic, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Romano-British and Anglo-Saxon date. Medieval settlement remains included sunken-featured buildings at West Malling, Fulston Manor and Star Lane, Manston.

The first of a nine-book series detailing two well-known units that fought together or head-on during World War II.

The extremely calculated nature of heinous crimes and their perpetrators means that many leave little to no evidence. Often these cases are left open with scant hope of resolution, usually to the horror of affected families and friends. But thanks to rapidly developing advances in forensic techniques—especially in the fields of psychological, psychic, and DNA profiling—an increasing number of cases are being reexamined and solved years after the crimes were committed. Collected here are the incredible true stories of how some the most horrific murderers in existence were caught using astounding and unusual methods, sometimes decades after the fact. Filled with alarming crimes and captivating investigative techniques, these stories are proof that there is no such thing as a perfect murder.

Each title in this series examines two units - their organisation, order of battle and how this changed, their battle history, their insignia and markings, and their top people. This volume covers German 21st Panzer and British 7th (BR) Armoured Division.

The division also fought in Norway, Greece and Crete before surrendering in Italy in 1945.
