Rats: The Essential Guide to Ownership, Care, & Training for Your Pet
What pet can play fetch, learn its name, and still ride around in your pocket? It’s a rat, of course, and if you’re surprised by this, you should take some time to learn more about these delightful animals. Though wild rats have earned a bad rap for spreading illness and disease, domestic rats are clean and friendly animals that can be loving and wonderful additions to any family. If you have children that want pets but you’re not ready for a dog, a pet rat may be a great compromise. These little critters are fabulous pets for kids, requiring relatively simple care that even grade school children can understand and handle. They’re adaptable, affectionate, and tons of fun to watch and play with. With a life-span up to 5 years, your child can have a long relationship with her animals. Rats make great adult companions too, of course. Their minimal space requirements make them ideal for apartment dwellers, and their self-sufficiency and flexible sleeping habits mean they’ll adapt readily to even busy schedules. When they’re cared for properly, rats aren’t prone to many illnesses or health issues, and they’re affordable both up-front and in the long-term. Most of the challenges in rat care are caused by the animal’s remarkable intelligence. The information in this book will teach you how to properly house these notorious escape artists. You’ll also learn about the proper nutrition and care to keep your rats healthy in the long term, and how to identify and fix problems if they do come up. Introductions to breeding, showing, and training your animals are also included, if you want to take your rat ownership to the next level. Cuddly, smart, and entertaining, a pet rat combines the low time commitment of a small animal with the affection of a dog—and you may just find it’s the perfect pet for you.Read more

Victorian Buxton & The Queen Of Scots Quest
A fictional, romanticised, Victorian tale about a small but significant town in middle England. A place known these days as Buxton began its existence as the hidden away, mountain top, Roman province of Britannia. Which started out as a simple encampment based around it’s natural, warm springs.
A congenial ride out to the pleasantly enhanced town for a tranquil get together, quickly evolves to reveal an unforeseen mystery of royal creation. A rare and demanding quest that requires mental agility and bold determination to solve.
The long forgotten task soon becomes the joint responsibility of two, young, Victorian companions. Who venture forth and travel around the town and beyond its limits. Carefully directed to local destinations of interest and intrigue set across the wild and bewitching Derbyshire peaks. Where the promise of answers lie cold and dormant, obscured from their view by centuries of historical happenings. The avid friends must delve into a painful past and reach for understanding to progress.
Alis and Ivor’s visit takes them up into the hills that surround the town and leads them on an unusual mission in the name of Mary, Queen of the Scots. Cryptic instructions left 300 years earlier by the hapless Queen, takes them on an esoteric trail of fortune.
During its existence Buxton has not only been a Roman outpost with soothing waters, it has been a distant Tudor village with healing liquid properties, as well as a fine Victorian Spa Town. Providing elegant, summer time, luxury bathing for the landed gentry of the age.
Their escapade presents itself in 1894, during a period of time when Buxton enjoyed its apex of glamorous indulgence and sophisticated excellence. Since then the vast majority of the Victorian property in Buxton, and its associated history, has been protected. The land, most of which still belongs to the current Duchess and Duke of Devonshire, has been guarded over the years against any great changes. The Duke, his wife and their predecessors have been developing and watching over Buxton, one way or another, for many hundreds of years.-Inspiration-
A View From A WindowThe author of this book lived for many years at –
No.1 Pavilion Mansions,
Hartington Road,
Buxton.
Which has an interesting view through a large, stone, bay window on the side elevation of the substantial Victorian property. A view that encompasses the passage of Buxton’s history through the ages.
To the right of the window a neglected lane passes by. Beneath the moss and debris, a cobbled road once built by Roman soldiers (AD43-410) runs down from higher to lower Buxton. Which brought to mind horse drawn chariots, rolling down the hill towards the towns health giving springs.
Directly ahead lies The Old Hall Hotel (1573). Which was built to house Mary Queen of Scots. Who will have walked out of the Hall onto the dusty road. Absorbing the scenery and deeply breathing in the clean mountain air. Seeking to find some solace for her persecuted soul.
Behind The Hall, the Devonshire Dome (1789) presents itself as a magnificent example of Victorian engineering and ingenuity. Once famed for being the largest unsupported dome in the world. Which indicates the quality of architects once drawn to the town.
On the far side of the Dome The Palace Hotel (1863) stands wide. A place where Victorian gentry would have walked and talked and paraded their finery.
Yonder, the caressing hills frame the view. Tree covered hills that have been there forever which turn from green, to orange, to the bright white of snow in the winter.
The Romans, the Tudors, and the Victorians all sought out Buxton. Which caused the author to spend her evenings looking out of the window, that captures 2,000 years of Buxton history. Wondering what else the people from bygone days, did with their time whilst in Buxton.Read more

Rites of Passage: Death and Mourning in Victorian Britain
In Rites of Passage, acclaimed historian Judith Flanders deconstructs the intricate, fascinating, and occasionally – to modern eyes – bizarre customs that grew up around death and mourning in Victorian Britain.
Through stories from the sickbed to the deathbed, from the correct way to grieve and to give comfort to those grieving to funerals and burials and the reaction of those left behind, Flanders illuminates how living in nineteenth-century Britain was, in so many ways, dictated by dying.
This is an engrossing, deeply researched and, at times, chilling social history of a period plagued by infant death, poverty, disease, and unprecedented change. In elegant, often witty prose, Flanders brings the Victorian way of death vividly to life.

The Valancourt Book of Victorian Christmas Ghost Stories, Volume Five
It’s the most wonderful time of the year – time for more rare ghostly tales of Yuletide terror from Victorian England!
For this fifth Valancourt volume of Christmas ghost stories, editor Christopher Philippo has dug deeper than ever before, delving into the archives of Victorian-era newspapers and magazines from throughout the British Isles to find twenty-one rare texts for the Christmas season – seventeen stories and four poems – most of them never before reprinted.
Featured here are gems by once-popular but now-forgotten 19th-century masters of the supernatural like Amelia Edwards, Barry Pain, and Florence Marryat, alongside contributions by totally obscure authors like James Skipp Borlase, a writer of penny dreadfuls who specialized in lurid Christmas horror stories, and Harry Grattan, who made history by writing the first ghost story recorded by Edison for the phonograph. Also included are an introduction and bonus materials, such as 19th-century news articles and advertisements related to Christmas ghosts.
“I endeavoured to call out; I could not utter a sound. As I gasped and panted, there stole into my nostrils a deadly, terrible, overpowering stench . . . It was the dread odour of decomposing mortality . . . I felt that I must break the spell, or die.” – John Pitman, “Ejected by a Ghost”
“It was a coach made of dead men’s bones . . . Behind the awful vehicle stood two fleshless skeletons in place of footmen, the driver was a horned and tailed fiend, and the six coal–black steeds that he drove had eyes of fire, and snorted flame from their nostrils as they tore madly along.” – James Skipp Borlase, “The Wicked Lady Howard”

Victorian cultural legacies, especially in art, science, and literature, are still celebrated. The first to have to grapple with many of the challenges of modern urban society, we continue to look to the Victorians for inspiration and solace. And we are increasingly aware of the ways their global actions shaped, often for ill, the world around us. Much mythologised, inexhaustibly controversial, the Victorians are an inescapable reference point for understanding the modern histories not just of Britain and its empire, but of the world.
In The Victorians: A Very Short Introduction Martin Hewitt offers a guide through the thickets of judgement and debate which have grown around the period and its people, to offer a historical overview of the Victorians and their legacies. He seeks to answer five crucial questions. Why have the Victorians continued occupy such a prominent place in the cultures of not just the anglophone world? How far does it make sense to think of a 64-year period arbitrarily given an identity by the longevity of the Queen as an identifiable historical period in a general sense? How justified are the value-laden versions of the Victorians which argue for the existence of a particular world view called ‘Victorianism’? Beyond ideology, what was Victorian Britain actually like – and in particular, what was distinctive about it? Who were the Victorians – not just the eminent few, but the population as a whole? And finally, how far and with what results did the Victorians and their culture spread across the globe?
In answering these questions, Hewitt cautions against some long-held orthodoxies, throws a light on some less well-known aspects of the period, and urges the importance of understanding the Victorians on their own terms if we are to effectively engage with their legacies.

Criminal Injuries Compensation: State and Offender Compensation for Violent Crime
The 2012 Criminal Injuries Compensation Scheme (CICS) deals with some 33,000 applications for compensation each year. It has, since 1964, been one of the principal means by which the state aims to meet victims’ expectations following an offence of violence, but it also displays a clear doctrinal effort to differentiate ‘deserving’ from ‘undeserving’ victims. Over much of the same period criminal courts and agencies have enjoyed powers to order offenders to pay compensation to their victims, most recently as an element of restorative justice.Split into two parts, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an authoritative analysis of the statutory provisions governing these various remedies. Part One, State Compensation, analyses the Scheme’s defining provisions: what constitutes ‘a criminal injury’, what persons and injuries may be compensated, the rules governing the victim’s own conduct and character, the assessment of the award, and the procedures governing applications, appeals and judicial review. Part Two, Offender Compensation, analyses the conditions under which a criminal court may make a compensation order as an element of its sentencing decision, concluding with the potential of restorative justice to deliver offender compensation to victims. The book also touches on the wider political and criminal justice context of compensation.
Written and edited by an expert academic and practitioner team, Criminal Injuries Compensation is an essential text for all those with an interest in understanding the statutory, judicial and administrative rules that govern state and offender payment of compensation to victims of violent crime.

Fundamental Dishonesty and QOCS in Personal Injury Proceedings: Law and Practice
Dishonest claims and dishonest claimants (or at least allegedly dishonest claims and claimants) are by no means a novel phenomenon in personal injury claims; nor is the insurance industry’s desire to identify and expose such claims and such individuals. However, the legal framework surrounding allegations of dishonesty, the frequency with which they are made, and (at least in part) the reasoning and impetus behind making them, has taken on a different complexion following the introduction of the concept of ‘fundamental dishonesty’ into personal injury litigation.It is no exaggeration to say that for every practitioner involved in personal injury claims, a comprehensive understanding of the notion of ‘fundamental dishonesty’, both as it relates to Qualified One Way Costs Shifting (“QOCS”) and as it relates to s. 57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015, is absolutely essential. It is simply not possible to carry on practice in this area of the law without an intimate working knowledge of these principles and how they apply in real terms.
Since ‘fundamental dishonesty’ first arrived on the scene on the 1st April 2013 as an exception to the QOCS regime, the concept has continued to develop and expand in its reach and application. Most importantly the term has been adopted within s. 57 of the Criminal Justice and Courts Act 2015; a significant piece of legislation representing a fundamental change to the law as it stood following the Supreme Court’s decision in Summers v Fairclough Homes.
Written with both claimant and defendant practitioners in mind, this book seeks to consider what it actually means to be ‘fundamentally dishonest’; to identify the relevant Civil Procedure Rules in play; to look at the costs consequences of a finding of ‘fundamental dishonesty’; to trace the origins of s. 57 and consider the wording and effect of the statutory provision; to discuss the principles expounded in the most relevant cases; to analyse the procedures and processes to be adopted when making or defending allegations of ‘fundamental dishonesty’, including how and when an application for a finding can and should be made; and to provide helpful insight and commentary from a practical perspective.

A Practical Guide to Personal Injury Trusts – 2nd Edition
Means tested social security benefits normally include a capital rule, under which someone with excess capital is disqualified from the benefits, or the amount payable is reduced. Similarly, someone with capital in excess of a certain amount is disqualified for local authority social care services, or will be required to make a contribution from their capital. Because a windfall, such as a legacy, can thereby deprive the claimant, the rules were amended to allow compensation for personal injury to be treated as exempt from the capital rule if placed in a trust. This in turn awakened interest in the personal injury trust as a method of dealing effectively with compensation for personal injury, and also of ensuring tax efficiency. Personal injury trusts, therefore, have become a basic tool for use by personal injury practitioners and by private client advisers.This new edition brings together the law on benefits, taxation and social care. It brings up to date both the changes in benefits (particularly with the national roll-out of universal credit) and the changes in tax as they affect personal injury trusts, and also considers the view of the Court of Protection on PI trusts as a method of administering the property of someone without capacity.

Sex with a Brain Injury: On Concussion and Recovery
For readers of Meghan O’Rourke’s The Invisible Kingdom, Esme Weijun Wang’s The Collected Schizophrenias, andMelissa Febos’s Girlhood, a powerful and deeply personal memoir in essays that sheds light on the silent epidemic of head trauma.Annie Liontas suffered multiple concussions in her thirties. In Sex with a Brain Injury, she writes about what it means to be one of the “walking wounded,” facing her fear, her rage, her physical suffering, and the effects of head trauma on her marriage and other relationships. Forced to reckon with her own queer mother’s battle with addiction, Liontas finds echoes in their pain. Liontas weaves history, philosophy, and personal accounts to interrogate and expand representations of mental health, ability, and disability–particularly in relation to women and the LGBT community. She uncovers the surprising legacy of brain injury, examining its role in culture, the criminal justice system, and through historical figures like Henry VIII and Harriet Tubman. Encountering Liontas’s sharp, affecting prose, the reader can imagine this kind of pain, and having to claw one’s way back to a new normal. The hidden gift of injury, Liontas writes, is the ability to connect with others.
For the millions of people who have suffered from concussions and for those who have endeavored to support loved ones through the painful and often baffling experience of head trauma, this astonishing and compassionate narrative offers insight and hope in equal measure.
