| "There are many reasons why it might seem unwise to walk mostly alone through the Middle East That in part is exactly why Leon McCarron did itFrom Jerusalem McCarron followed a series of wild hiking trails that trace ancient trading and pilgrimage routes and traverse some of the most contested landscapes in the world In the West Bank he met families struggling to lead normal lives amidst political turmoil and had a surreal encounter with the world's oldest and smallest religious sect In Jordan he visited the ruins of Hellenic citadels and trekked through the legendary Wadi Rum His journey culminated in the vast deserts of the Sinai home to Bedouin tribes and haunted by the ghosts of Biblical history The Land Beyond is a journey through time from the quagmire of current geopolitics to the original ideals of the faithful through the layers of history culture and religion that have shaped the Holy Land But at its heart it is the story of people not politics and of the connections that can bridge seemingly insurmountable barriers"

| "Introduction and Notes by Deborah Parsons University of Birmingham 'I am writing to a rhythm and not to a plot' Virginia Woolf stated of her eighth novel The Waves Widely regarded as one of her greatest and most original works it conveys the rhythms of life in synchrony with the cycle of nature and the passage of time Six children - Bernard Susan Rhoda Neville Jinny and Louis - meet in a garden close to the sea their voices sounding over the constant echo of the waves that roll back and forth from the shore The subsequent continuity of these six main characters as they develop from childhood to maturity and follow different passions and ambitions is interspersed with interludes from the timeless and unifying chorus of nature In pure stream-of-consciousness style Woolf presents a cross-section of multiple yet parallel lives each marked by the disintegrating force of a mutual tragedy The Waves is her searching exploration of individual and collective identity and the observations and emotions of life from the simplicity and surging optimism of youth to the vacancy and despair of middle-age"
