"Suburban" is regularly used as a dismissive rather than a descriptive term, especially by architects and planners. And yet, judging by the sheer number of people who move there, suburbia must be doing something right. It is best to understand, Paul Barker writes, before rushing to condemn. Suburbs are an essential part of every city; quite often, the most vigorous and innovative part. Here, Barker leads an entertaining journey through Britain's 'burbs: a white witch living in a Croydon semi-detached; a high-rise block being razed; the hidden charms of the modern planned community of Milton Keynes; seaside bungalows and strip malls on the edge of town. With a keen eye for detail, Barker paints a humane yet provocative portrait of 21st-century living. And he throws down a gauntlet to anyone thinking about the future of cities, towns, and countryside, arguing persuasively that what is needed is less planning, not more.

Living as Equals

LIVING WORDS is a 3 level intensive Bible-based English language course designed to take students from their own starting level to a level where they can understand, think and communicate effectively in English. A further, unique aim of this course is to give educators a body of relevant English language learning material with a solid Christian foundation. Our mission is to produce a full set of English language learning materials for the teacher and student, using Bible characters and their lives to teach everyday vocabulary, as well as that commonly used to convey Christian ideas and spiritual principles in a relaxed and fun way. Our goal is to teach children and young adults not only to speak English but, by using the Bible as a base, bring them into a spiritual relationship - a saving knowledge of Jesus. The course of materials contained here develops the theme of God's character as expressed in his love, grace and infinite goodness, proceeding through Jesus' life, death and resurrection, and culminating in the experience of the Holy Spirit's power - enabling a fully satisfying personal relationship with God in the expectation of Jesus' imminent return. This engaging, in-depth course works particularly well in the communicative classroom actively teaching and learning English as a second language in an English-speaking environment, or as a foreign language course where access to native speakers is limited. In any setting, this curriculum can set the stage for active, engaged classroom learning.

The day that the closure of the News of the World was announced, will forever be regarded as the saddest in the entire history of journalism. Paul Barker was one of the handful of freelance photographers used on a full time basis by the paper, so when it came, the news was a devastating bombshell. After over 20 years working as a photojournalist, with 12 of those on the News of the World, he has been uniquely placed to give an insight into what it was like to work on a Sunday tabloid. From photography tips, to getting into events without a pass, 'Snapper' provides a fantastic, and highly amusing, window into the world of a national newspaper photographer. Rather than an expose into the phone hacking scandal that finally engulfed the paper, Snapper...Confessions of a News of the World Photographer, is a celebration of some of its finest moments. Recounted in a personal and engaging style, it is a series of often hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking anecdotes. It chronicles some of the best known, as well as some of the more obscure stories, covered by what many have come to regard as the world’s greatest newspaper.
