DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Shocked by the epidemic of gun violence in America, acclaimed writer Peter Manseau found himself absorbed by the 'melancholy accidents' that appeared in 19th century newspapers: daily accounts of accidental gun deaths that seemed as unfortunate as they were unavoidable. In Melancholy Accidents, Manseau collects, annotates and introduces many of these articles, painting a devastating portrait of America's long, bloody relationship with firearms.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →A powerful and deeply personal exploration of mental health, and an indelible account of the legacy of familial illness and living with a fracturing mind Like many people, Tom Lee remembers the presence - somewhere out of sight, on the outskirts of town - of the local psychiatric hospital. It was a place that inspired jokes, rumours and dread, a place where the strange and deranged were kept away. But among those people were, at different times, Tom's own parents. Afterwards, those times were not much spoken about and before long the hospital closed, as part of the nationwide shutting down of psychiatric institutions. For many years, Tom believed that he had dodged the bullet of the mental illness that had marked the lives of his parents. But then, quite out of the blue, he has a crisis of his own and finds himself returning to the past for clues. The Bullet is an attempt to piece together and understand what happened to his parents and what happened to him. It is also a story about how we have tried and spectacularly failed to care for people suffering with mental illness, and about the terrifying fragility and unknowability of the human mind.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Ever since the game began – possibly as far back as the 11th century – golf and war have been oddly connected. In 1457, for example, the King of Scotland banned "gowlf" because his subjects were spending more time on the local links than they were at archery practice – bows and arrows being the country’s main weapons of defense at the time. In August of 1940 – hightailing it home after a raid on Aberdeen, Scotland – a German aircraft dropped a bomb over nearby Stonehaven Golf Club. The large crater that it left between the first and second fairway is still there today and is considered the courses’ most famous hazard. Local golfers refer to it as "Hitler’s Bunker." Those stories, and many more, are included in Bullets, Bombs & Birdies: Golf in the Time of War. Until now, most history books on golf have tended to skip over the wartime years as if the game was completely abandoned during those tenuous times. This new book by Dale Concannon clearly shows that over many centuries of conflict, dedicated practitioners of the Royal and Ancient game have let nothing – not mortar shells, the threat of gas attacks or even incarceration in a POW camp – get in the way of a round of golf.
