Mexican cuisine has a long history, and food is an important part of the country's culture and values. Its cuisine reflects the country's diverse geography, various crops grown there, and links to cultures dating back thousands of years.

The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.

When Sam was forced to retire from a long storied career with the NYPD, he hoped for the best, but prepared for the worst.

When an EMP decimates the world’s power grid, society falls faster than anyone could have imagined.

But while Connor is fighting his way out, little does he know that his father and sister are fighting their way in to come and save him.
