The fascinating history of St Stephen's Chapel in the Palace of Westminster, a building at the heart of British life for over 700 years.
Begun in 1292, the royal chapel of St Stephen was the crowning glory of the old palace of Westminster - a place of worship for kings and a showcase of the finest architecture, ritual and music the Plantagenets could muster. But in 1548, as the Protestant Reformation reached its height, St Stephen's was given a new purpose as the House of Commons. Burned out in the great palace fire of 1834, the Commons chamber was then recreated on a remarkably similar medieval design, perpetuating a way of doing politics that is recognisable to this day. St Stephen's has been part of many lives over the centuries, from the medieval masons who worked through the Black Death to complete the chapel, to the generations of MPs who locked horns in the Commons chamber. Threading together religion, politics, art, architecture and narrative history, John Cooper tells the story of the lost chapel, an iconic building that reflects the national transition from medieval divine-right monarchy to modern parliamentary democracy.The Groom's Arrival will guide you into the traditions and the Scriptures that form new insights into God's love story for mankind.

Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him. (1 Corinthians 2:9)
This book chronicles my early life, from my birth in 1948 in austerity Britain to leaving school in 1964. The book is written very much through my own eyes, evoking memories of a poor but happy childhood. Life in what is now a distant bygone age was a lot simpler, and any pleasures were something you whole heartedly embraced, as they did not come along too often. It has been said many times that everyone has a book in them, and had been at the back of my mind for many years, without a clear idea of what my book would be about. With hindsight I think the idea of this book was always there in my mind, as I remember vividly the first few lines which simply describe the end of my childhood, as I waited for the no 17 bus to take me home after my last football match. It was August 1964, and my first job awaited at the Cooperative Wholesale Society in Manchester. The Cooper family was probably no different from any other family on Pershore Road, working hard to survive in post war Britain, and my parents striving to bring up their children with relatively little money. My mother (our Mam) was the rock of the family, the glue that held it all together, and was fiercely protective of her children. My father I am sure had his demons, and only having one leg for almost 40 years of his life would not have been easy, both physically and psychologically. I did find it difficult to talk to him at times, and with hindsight regret not having had a closer relationship. The greater Cooper family were an interesting bunch, but had many secrets and numerous fallings out. Things changed slowly in the 1950's, and this was epitomised in my school life. My first school Parkfield Infant/Primary was a throwback to the old days with some of my teachers having taught my mother, the maxim being children should be seen but not heard. Then in the late 1950's I went to Hollin Secondary Modern School, and it was like night and day, with much younger teachers, promoting inclusive learning. Football has always been an important part of my life, particularly my love of Oldham Athletic, who I started supporting in the late 1950's with my uncle Billy. I also loved playing the game in all kinds of situations and conditions, making many good friends along the way, some of these friendships lasting to this day. At times it was a struggle to write this book despite it being relatively short in length, but I am so glad I did - something which my children and grandchildren can remember me by.
A true story of a bank robber and a chilling car chase worthy of an Elmore Leonard novel or a Brian De Palma movie.
Like many new arrivals to Canada, Hermann Beier came to this country with big dreams - visions of a wide-open country where hard work and entrepreneurial flair would make him rich. A charismatic handyman, martial arts teacher, and small business owner, he charmed women and earned the respect of men. He was loved in his community of Alliston, Ontario, and had a plan to make a million bucks. But when those dreams soured, Beier turned to crime to pay the bills.
Faced with bankruptcy in 1991, Beier hatched a plan to rob a string of banks in a single day. But it was all too much, too fast. After leading authorities from Guelph to Caledon on what was then the longest police chase in Canadian history, Beier was gunned down alongside a farmer's fence, his body pierced by a hail of police bullets.
But he survived, and the end of his crime spree marked a new beginning. After spending almost a decade in various Ontario prisons, searching for a way to get his life back on track, Beier was finally paroled. He now lives a quiet life, dividing his time between Canada and Austria.

After making many photo books about adventures they have had over the years with their grandchildren, the Coopers decided to publish their first illustrated children's book. While growing up, the Coopers remember people quoting that old adage, Don't judge a book by its cover. In Zac and Kat, A Rough Road to Friendship, it is proven that preconceptions of others are often faulty. If we can rid ourselves of the ingrained social and cultural stigmas, there is the possibility of finding new friends and productive relationships.
In this delightful tale, children witness the making of an unlikely friendship between a dog and a cat. By using a pair of characters that children know are natural adversaries, Zac and Kat introduces young readers to the idea that established norms and expectations can be questioned. If you take a second look, you just might meet your best friend.
Spread-eagled and face down in shallow snow, hurting in every centimetre of his body, he prised open an eyelid. Bewildered, his mind refused to process what he saw. He was surrounded by grotesque nightmares. Visibility was poor and falling snow imposed a theatrical dimension to the horror. However, there was no doubt. Hundreds of savages battered and lunged at each other in slow motion, their lead-weighted poleaxes and war-hammers clanging against armour. An unearthly cacophony bludgeoned his eardrums as, utterly terrified, he watched the violence. Surely, he had arrived in hell.
Bagnold, who specialised in software for the neurosurgical market, were at an advanced stage of trialling Neuro-Praxis, their new brain scanning technology. It would be able to read the entire structure of the brain and map it in a neural network using artificially created DNA molecules. Other companies in China and Germany were working on such technology but the unique and sensational aspect of Bagnold's design was that it could learn spontaneously and grow without restriction using on-line Internet resources. By mapping the entire structure of the subject's brain, it would have access to all its memories and beliefs.
