'I'm a duck out of water.' The words that sprang from Mum's lips sent shivers through me as I sat with her in the lounge of her new care home. Little did I know that she would feel this way for years to come. Our perception of care homes is often restricted to a few extremes: a peaceful haven administered by caring angels, the boredom of 'God's waiting room', or the horrors uncovered by TV documentaries. The truth is that care home life works well for some, but for others the experience can be nothing short of traumatic. This book is my account of Mum's dementia and our experience of the complexities of the care system. As you read it you will encounter a heart-warming, but often heartbreaking, story of how we navigated care home life together.

The confessional break which touched the Christian West in the XVIth century permanently revolutionised the place of the clergy societies and their influence on the faithful. The original principle of Lutheranism, then reforms of the Swiss type, from the universal priesthood was broadly relativised by the progressive placing of a protestant clergy, but it opened upa gap that can be followed at the time of the controversies and which continues to fix a fundamental difference between the two camps. However, reciprocal influences and contacts are observable in the areas of confessional co-existence: the spaces of frontiers can appear as privileged observatories in order to include the reciprocal influences between the clergy, up to interpreting in their own way and considering the pastoral ministry as well as to forge their professional and social identities. The training of the clergy, their organisation, the op[positions which they must confront, their interactions, even the sociabilities of their members are studied here through very diverse practices (preaching, conferences and controversies, erudite sociabilities, missions, institutional control, liturgical practices, repression of deviance, or even definition of concurrent memories). These case studies plunge us into the process of definition of clerical identities which are certainly constituted against the other side, but also, more subtly, in terms of the other side and on common foundations. JULIEN LEONARD is the master of conferences in modern history at the University of Lorraine (Nancy)

As an Asperger Syndrome "sufferer", life for Guy Blythman has not been easy, if anything because his condition leaves his rational faculties, and his ability to empathise, intact; but it has certainly been interesting. Here he tells his story, the funny moments as well as the sad, the sublime as well as the ridiculous. Though many of his experiences have been the same as others' it serves as a commentary on how a society supposedly concerned with equality and diversity actually treats those who are different. But if you want light(?) relief there are the difficulties with girls, the kinky cats, the recalci- trant gas fitters, et al...

When Hardy realized that it was safer to cross the desert than stay and possibly get caught by the cannibals that were prevalent where he was hiding he still had to get food and water for the trip. He knew the desert and he knew when to collect the water, while the cannibals were drunk. He left in the darkness so that he was too far into the desert for anyone to consider following him. He dragged a sled with his possessions on and only stopped when it was too hot to go on. He was out of food and water and wondering what to do when he came to a crashed plane. By distilling water from the cooling system he was able to move on, now hoping for a miracle. It was dark when a scream tore through the dark night air. He crept forward to see who was screaming although by now there was just silence. He found a canyon in front of him and there was water, he also found children who were systematically being eaten by yet more cannibals. He knew he had to help but to do so he had to return to the plane for some sort of weapons. When he returned a man was waiting for him and the fight began there and then...

Journalist Peter Erlam's memoir details his lifelong passion for football and cricket, sports he has played for six decades. It is inspired by his boyhood hero Denis Law and driven by a misguided fantasy that one day he could line up alongside the Manchester United star. More realistically, the narrative develops around his pursuit of the autographs of the United Trinity, George Best, Bobby Charlton and, of course, the 'Lawman'. Goals Ga-law! starts with the author standing on an upturned beer crate on the Old Trafford terraces to get a better view of the action as a nine-year-old. It concludes 60 years later on Malta with the author representing Kent Seniors in an ill-fated cricket tournament. Randomly, Law has an interesting link with the island stretching back to the season United became the first English side to enjoy European Cup glory. Running through the book like a golden thread is Erlam's admiration for a man who had an unerring eye for scoring goals - 237 for the club and 30 for Scotland - despite him suffering from a serious squint as a youngster.

Around the age of forty, I received a book from my father. It had gray covers, rather thick, unpretentious looking. Back then, I was convinced that time is patient, that other priorities existed, which could quickly appear to put off something that waited un-complainingly and much too quietly for its turn at the surface of the present. I flipped through it. My father never asked me if I had read it. He had done what he considered, in the depths of his German-educated character, to be his duty. The rest no longer depended on him. Indeed, I never read my family's biography written from that paternal perspective. After he passed away, I read parts of several chapters with tears in my eyes. The scores of questions that arose in me would never receive answers. I choked up. Ignorance? Weakness? Any label I could give it couldn't excuse a kind of essential failure regarding the development of the self. After decades, by chance, I met with a similar situation. A father put down on paper, for his sons, his story - the story of those whom he knew either directly or indirectly, of those whose threads of life extend across the world and beyond it, to the grave. Painstakingly and meticulously, Adrian Barbu unravels the ball of connections from which his life derives its meaning, now visible to all. Knots and signs. Excerpt from Forward, by Marina Constantinescu
