This is Sam Burnside's personal account of the creation of, the thinking behind and the historical circumstance of The Verbal Arts Centre in Derry City or Londonderry. The subtitle of the book is 'The Verbal Arts, Lifelong learning and Cultural Development in Northern Ireland.' "In this story of a building the narrative is about much more than the putting together of bricks and mortar. At its heart, it is about education and about art, and about the things that underlie these - curiosity, imagination and creativity and the will to invent - the combined energy that powers human progress. In the best sense of the words, it is about the care and culture of man, 'the best economy' of man."

The text of this book includes the official diplomatic papers passed between Great Britain and Germany in the months before the declaration of war in September 1939.

The British Army has rarely experienced a defeat of the kind that occurred in Afghanistan in January 1842. Provided here are extracts from the official government account of events between October 1841 and January 1842, along with excerpts from the diaries of Lieutenant Vincent Eyre and Lady Florentia Sale, both of whom were finally released in September 1842 - after eight months of being moved around the region in fear of their lives.
