Paperback. Etat : Good. Step into a city where winter feels endless, patience is tested, and a tiny garden becomes the beginning of something extraordinary. In a quiet space, between brick walls and busy streets, hope waits just beneath the soil, ready to surprise anyone willing to look a little closer. When spirited city girl, Dory Oslo longs for spring, color, and the joy of being outside, her mother suggests planting a small garden together. Dory loves the idea--but waiting for things to grow is harder than she ever imagined. When nothing seems to happen, she does what any determined child might do; she tries to help in her own creative, funny, and completely unexpected ways. What begins as a simple gardening project soon turns into a whimsical adventure filled with imagination, gentle humor, and moments of wonder. As Dory's efforts unfold, the ordinary city around her starts to feel just a little magical, pulling readers forward page-by-page.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. Eight Down reviews eight maritime casualties over forty-two years beginning with the loss of the Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior in 1975 to the Stellar Daisy in 2017. As a former seafarer and member of the maritime profession for the past fifty years, all of the Eight have taken place during my watch. I have found resonance with my own experiences, that has sparked my curiosity. I explore the connective threads that will illustrate how these events are the consequence of what Professor James Reason has called the Swiss Cheese Model. I know from my own experience that there were many instances when I might have been but one step away from being a maritime casualty - is it luck? Or is it the awareness or raised consciousness of someone who acts before that last step occurs? I hope to provide insight into the management of change as it relates to safety and the avoidance of traveling through the final hole in a Swiss Cheese.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Blue Moon traces a season in the life of Manchester City. Not just any season, but 1998-99, when the once-proud club, with two League Championships and four FA Cup wins to its name - not to mention a phenomenal fan base - was forced to battle the likes of Macclesfield Town, Colchester United and Wigan Athletic in English football's third flight. Mark Hodkinson was involved in every aspect of the club through a long, stirring season, one which culminated in the euphoria of promotion: mingling with players, ex-players, directors, office staff and fans, he was constantly on the look-out for the unusual, the offbeat, the hopeful and the heartbreaking.

Originally commissioned as a series of weekly articles for The Times newspaper, Hodkinson's column soon acquired cult status among fans. Now, in Blue Moon, the author has brought these articles together and, along with a considerable number of further anecdotes, both comical and moving, provides an unprecedented insight into the passionate community that is Manchester City FC. …
