Watercolour painting is an absorbing, meditative art-from that many people would like to enjoy but don't attempt to because they believe they can't paint or simply don't know where to begin. An encouraging voice and a clear, easy-to-follow approach is often all that's needed to give people the confidence to get started and keep going.

How can you live with yourself when you have killed somebody? This haunting question consumes Ross Collins, whose life unravels when he causes a fatal accident just one day after passing his driving test. Sinking into a morass of despair and self-loathing, he seeks refuge in the Alpha Course, hoping to find redemption through Christianity. There he encounters "Omega" Bee, a theology student grappling with her own crisis as the faith that has always defined her collapses. Bee challenges the message of the Alpha Course, offering Ross a very different perspective on Christianity and the Bible. As he desperately looks for a path to redemption, and she tries to work out who she is and what she is going to do with her life, their story unfolds against a backdrop of conflicting ideas - the clash between Alpha and Omega. Praise from OnlineBookClub.org for Paul Clark's previous novels: "What I liked most about the book was how the main character was created so well that the reader could easily sympathize with him. As you read about Ruslan and his journey, it's hard not to become attached, and you end up rooting for him."Review of The Price of Dreams "Clark is an excellent writer and a superb storyteller...But it was the depth of his character development that I found truly remarkable. Much like the average Joe in the flesh and blood world, Clark's characters are multi-dimensional, evil and righteous, honest and deceptive, honorable and dishonorable, and noble and reprobate all at the same time. And it is these fully human and thoroughly developed characters that make Clark's narrative so intensely enjoyable."Review of A Long Night of Chaos "...the quality of the characters depicted in this book was superb. The author did an amazing job at comprehensively developing the characters by giving them really strong personalities that will stick with the reader till the end of the story."Review of Day of the Long Knives

The lives and aspirations of young Chinese (those between 14 and 26 years old) have been transformed in the past five decades. By examining youth cultures around three historical points - 1968, 1988 and 2008 - this book argues that present-day youth culture in China has both international and local roots. Paul Clark describes how the Red Guards and the sent-down youth of the Cultural Revolution era carved out a space for themselves, asserting their distinctive identities, despite tight political controls. By the late 1980s, Chinese-style rock music, sports and other recreations began to influence the identities of Chinese youth, and in the twenty-first century, the Internet offers a new, broader space for expressing youthful fandom and frustrations. From the 1960s to the present, this book shows how youth culture has been reworked to serve the needs of the young Chinese.
