Yorkie Boys told of the adventures of children growing up in the 1950s in the Yorkshire Dales. Now meet Yorkie Boys and Girls, which follows the kids as they start to grow up and learn about the realities of life. Meet once again with Norma Greensit, who terrorises the boys with her stories of a fabled land. Meet Graham, the school naughty boy who uses forbidden words. Then there are the dreaded Erkies, the neighbours from hell. A new school brings Janferie a modern free spirit, and Stan a new best friend, as well as a host of unforgettable characters, among them the formidable Miss 'Torture' Wrack. The Yorkie Boys begin to hear about something called sex. There is Claudette, the school beauty and object of a Yorkie Boy's desire. There are older women - Mrs Caizzone, the mother who smells of flowers, and Wendy, the Sunday School teacher, who causes a religious ferment in our Yorkie Boys. Above it all looms the dark cloud of the 11+ exam, when friendships will be tested and broken and lives will be changed for ever. Yorkie Boys and Girls will bring back memories to those old enough to remember those golden days, and for the young, will give a glimpse of what their parents and grandparents went through in tough times.

YORKIE BOYS GO FISHING is set in the wonderful Yorkshire Dales and in Ireland of the 1950s. It follows the adventures of the boys and girls you met in YORKIE BOYS and in YORKIE BOYS AND GIRLS. These amusing stories tell of the childhood of a lifelong fisherman, of early and failed attempts to catch wily Swale trout, of unforgettable days in an Ireland long gone, of the father who almost drowned someone else's dog, of fishing with a homemade bomb and nearly sending the priest to his maker. Later, in teenage years, the Yorkie Boys narrowly avoid death by drowning, become expert poachers, meet a fishing legend, experiment with beer and girls and learn that there is a lot more to fishing than catching fish. For those old enough to remember the 50s and 60s, this book will re-kindle happy memories of their childhood. For those too young to remember, it will re-create a world of innocent enjoyment enjoyed by their parents - a world lost for ever.

Ethics in Crisis offers a constructive proposal for the shape of contemporary Christian ethics drawing on a new and persuasive interpretation of the ethics of Karl Barth. David Clough argues that Karl Barth’s ethical thought remained defined by the theology of crisis that he set out in his 1922 commentary on Romans, and that his ethics must therefore be understood dialectically, caught in an unresolved tension between what theology must and cannot be. Showing that this understanding of Barth is a resource for contemporary constructive accounts of Christian ethics, Clough points to a way beyond the idolatry of ethical absolutism on the one hand, and the apostasy of ethical postmodernism on the other.

Creaturely Theology is a ground-breaking scholarly collection of essays that maps out the agenda for the future study of the theology of the non-human and the post-human. A wide range of first-rate contributors show that theological reflection on non-human animals and related issues are an important though hitherto neglected part of the agenda of Christian theology and related disciplines. The book offers a genuine interdisciplinary conversation between theologians, philosophers and scientists and will be a standard text on the theology of non-human animals for years to come. Contributors include: Esther D. Reed (Exeter), Rachel Muers (Leeds), Stephen Clark (Liverpool), Neil Messer (Lampeter), Peter Scott (Manchester), Michael Northcott (Edinburgh), Christopher Southgate (Exeter)
