Yorkshire resident, outdoors enthusiast and travel writer Mike Bagshaw has thoroughly updated this new third edition of Bradt''s North York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds, part of Bradt''s award-winning series of Slow travel series of guides to UK regions. It remains the only standalone guide to this region of contrasts. Walkers, cyclists, wildlife-lovers, families, foodies and culture vultures will find everything they need to plan and enjoy time here. From magnificent cliffs and beaches along Yorkshire''s Heritage Coast and rolling hills in the North York Moors (one of the original nine National Parks of England and Wales) to the Wolds'' tranquil chalk grasslands, this region offers remarkable variety. Nestled at its heart is York, probably Britain''s best-preserved medieval city, with its stunning Minster, northern Europe''s largest Gothic cathedral. The region is increasingly popular for outdoors pursuits, which feature strongly in this guide. The Tour de Yorkshire cycle race has helped establish the region as a cycling Mecca. Walkers can explore along ten long-distance footpaths. Sandy beaches, rocky coves, stunning woodlands and heather-clad moors make the destination ideal for families keen to immerse children in nature. Whitby has become a nationally acclaimed centre for whale- and dolphin-watching tours, while wildlife-lovers can also delight in otters and adders, or gawp at ''seabird skyscrapers'' at Bempton Cliffs, including England''s only breeding colony of gannets, Europe''s largest seabird).This culturally resonant region harbours treats as diverse as steam train journeys across remote moorland (as featured in the Harry Potter and Mission Impossible films), local food and drink (from seafood, meats and cheeses to independent breweries and gastropubs), the Georgian opulence of Castle Howard (of Brideshead Revisited fame), the Goth Weekend festival at Whitby (where Count Dracula made landfall in Bram Stoker''s novel), Britain''s oldest seaside resort (Scarborough), the country''s tallest standing stone (Rudston) and even the purported burial site of Beowulf (Boulby Cliffs).With coverage of places not featured in other guidebooks and extensive practical detail conveyed in an informative yet laidback style, plus an emphasis on car-free travel, Bradt''s North York Moors & Yorkshire Wolds is the optimal guide to this fascinating region.

"Af natur er vi håbefulde skabninger, altid parate til at lade os skuffe på ny, grebne af det under, som måske findes bag selv det mest snuskede, brune indpaknings-papir."Yorkshire, sommeren 1920. Efter verdenskrigens rædsler forsøger den unge konservator Tom Birkin at blive menneske igen, mens han restaurerer et kalkmaleri i den lille landsby Oxgodby. En øm, elegant og usentimental roman om de største ting i livet: lykkens flygtighed, arbejdets mening, tilgivelsens natur og erindringens kraft. "Herregud, når jeg tænker tilbage på dengang for alle de år siden! Og nu er det borte. Det er borte. Al min begejstring og stolthed over min første opgave, Oxgodby, Kathy Ellerbeck, Alice Keach, Moon, den rolige, milde årstid – borte, som havde intet af det nogensinde været til..."Joseph "Jim" Lloyd Carr (1912-1994) var forfatter og forlægger på sit eget forlag The Quince Tree Press. Hans kendteste roman, den prisvindende og flot filma-tiserede "En måned på landet" fra 1980, betragtes som et mesterværk. Den foreligger nu endelig på dansk. "Ulig noget andet i moderne engelsk litteratur." Spectator

In the depths of industrial West Yorkshire during the transformative era of the 1960s and 1970s, Red Bricks and Loose Dogs takes readers on a profound journey of introspection. Inspired by the unwavering honesty of Father Jim, a trusted and wise man, the story unravels the truth behind the boy who grew into a man. Father Jim, revered for his wisdom, kept a powerful revelation hidden until his final moments. He shattered the illusion of his authority to grant heavenly visas or offer absolution, asserting that it is our personal responsibility to face the truth and examine our own past behaviours. Guided by Father Jim's honesty, the author of this remarkable memoir transports readers to the vibrant tapestry of his youth, set against the gritty industrial landscapes of West Yorkshire. Within this backdrop, the author rediscovers the influential people and defining moments that shaped his thinking and character for years to come.

This book traces the complex pattern of working-class radical endeavour in the West Riding textile district during the years from 1829 to 1839. It focuses in particular on questions of local leadership and organisation and stresses the importance of these elements to early working-class movements. The study assesses the significance of the trade union, popular radical, early co-operative and factory reform agitations of the late 1820s and early 1830s in shaping leadership cadres and organisational structures. It goes on to map out the varied, often mutually reinforcing campaigns of the mid 1830s which came together in the early Chartist movement. Chartism, with its more confident, experienced and self-reliant local leadership and its stress on organisation, is shown to be the culmination of a decade of escalating conflict and prodigious activity. It drew on the radicalising experiences of the early 1830s, on the incremental growth of working-class disillusionment in the post-Reform era, and on the common experiences and uncertainties which large sections of the local working population shared. Whilst building on traditional ideas and agitational tactics, the early Chartists increasingly articulated an assertive, class-conscious alternative to the widely-perceived evils of unregulated competitive industry and unrepresentative, uncaring government. Far from being peripheral figures, the local leaders who emerged in this era were central to the story of the emergence of the world's first mass working-class movement. For this reason, the efforts of contemporaries to perpetuate their memory deserve to be continued, so that a few more at least, do not share the fate of the many who 'died unknown'.

Julie Casson traces her husband Nigel's extraordinary journey from diagnosis of motor neurone disease to his successful death at Dignitas in Zurich. A rare and intimate account of one man's ultimate triumph over suffering and disease.

In the web of family secrets and love's enduring challenges, Regain for Mary paints a tale of deep-seated friendships and irreplaceable bonds. Three men, tethered tighter than brothers, traverse life's unpredictabilities, even with their contrasting backgrounds. But at the epicentre of their transformation are the women who captivate their hearts and reshape their futures. Foremost among these is Mrs. Smith, the unwavering anchor in Richard's stormy world, always offering wisdom, even if candidly. As Richard confronts his profound feelings for Mary, Mrs. Smith's forthright counsel and the ever-resolute footman, Mr. Downing, offer both a touch of humour and direction. Yet, while Richard wrestles with love, Aunt Sylvia remains the unifying beacon of the family, binding each member through every joy and tribulation. However, when one man's deeds imperil the tranquillity of the town and the unity of this close-knit family, will their collective past and unwavering affection be their salvation? Delve into a story where vengeance, romance, and concealed truths intertwine in the quest to regain the heart of Mary.
