    Edward Vernon-Harcourt (1757–1847) was Archbishop of York from 1807 until his death at the age of 90.

 
As a younger son of a wealthy land-owning family, Archbishop Harcourt depended on good family and political connections to make progress in the Church. He had to combine his responsibility for one of the largest dioceses in the Church of England with his duties in parliament and at court and with providing for his family of 16 children. More supportive of reform of both parliament and the church than most of his fellow bishops, Harcourt took steps to improve the training of ordinands in his diocese, encouraged the building of over 100 new churches to cope with population growth in the industrial towns of the West Riding and made some progress in tackling pluralism and non-residence. He was not afraid to stand up for a cause he believed to be right.

 
In this biography, Tony Vernon-Harcourt examines the professional and family life of one of the last aristocratic bishops in the Church of England.

    The delightfully comic account of a British couple and their imported cats starting over in a new country continues in Bucket to Greece Volume 4. The atmosphere is tense in the Bucket household, with Barry and Cynthia, or specifically Cynthia and her vile mutant cat, having outstayed their welcome. The race is on for them to find somewhere to live before their imminent wedding. Harold's house has potential, but Barry needs Victor's help to take advantage of the obnoxious Brit. 
 
 
 
With chickens to tend and local politics to break into, Victor discovers retirement offers little time for lazing about. He takes to the sea, repping on the lazy day cruise in the company of the ouzo loving Kapetanios Vasos and his mute sidekick Sami, and crams up on Greek aphrodisiacs to prepare for a gastronomic excursion. Victor schemes to rid the house of superfluous kittens, hatches a plot to ensure the local taverna isn't turned into a tourist attraction, and lends a hand with the search when Spiros' uncle Leo goes on the missing list. Spiros, courting the fragrant Sampaguita, introduces her to the exciting ex-pat scene of inedible foreign dinners; Milton is targeted by vanity publishing scammers, and a stubborn sheep stalks the streets of Meli.

    For any caregiver who ever needed to feel renewed, Kathryn Leigh Scott offers a compassionate acknowledgment of the love, patience, and determination it takes to do the right thing for yourself and for those you love.
 
 
When Kathryn Leigh Scott's husband, Geoff, was diagnosed with a terminal illness, she had to become his caregiver. As powerless as she was to stop the effects of the disease, she needed to be there for him. She wanted to be. And as much as she hated to admit it, the situation was taking its toll.
 
 
Stressed out, isolated from friends, and emotionally and physically exhausted, Kathryn joined a caregiver support group. This circle of empathetic new friends encouraged her to recapture her own sense of being. With their help, she learned that the best way to care for Geoff was to take care of herself as well. It became a welcome respite…and a necessary one.

    Theodore John Kaczynski (May 22, 1942 - June 10, 2023), also known as the Unabomber, was an American mathematician, serial killer, and domestic terrorist. A mathematics prodigy, he abandoned his academic career in 1969 to pursue a reclusive primitive lifestyle and lone wolf terrorism campaign. Kaczynski murdered three people and injured 23 others between 1978 and 1995 in a nationwide mail bombing campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology and the destruction of the natural environment. He authored a roughly 35,000-word manifesto and social critique called “Industrial Society and Its Future” which opposes all forms of technology, rejects leftism and fascism, advocates cultural primitivism, and ultimately suggests violent revolution. The following recording is from a 1999 prison interview.
