Bøker av Jack Simmons

Philosophy and gender studies professor Sarah Morgan has found herself in an ethical pickle. To secure the grant she needs for research that will reshape feminism as we know it, she must reduce herself to matchmaker and find a date for the dean's latest hire. But the only viable candidates are her politically incorrect (and often drunk) colleagues, who disdain the watering down of academia and would rather cavort with the "coeds." Navigating the tribal extremes of the Right and the Left, Sarah just might lose her job - and her mind! - before it's all over.

Jack Simmons sympathetically tells the history of the railways and describes every major aspect of their equipment and operations: permanent way, buildings, locomotives, rolling stock, signalling and labour relations. He also makes journeys through the Pennines, Scotland, Essex and Southern England on which he acts as observer and guide.
