A History of Penistone and District, written by David Hey, provides a very readable account of the historical development of the Penistone district. It covers the history of the ancient parish of Penistone from early times to the present day and combines a scholarly account with personal memories of the district in the 1940s. Much of the character of the ancient parish of Penistone was formed in the 19th century, when textile mills, steel works and the railways provided work for the growing population. The book explores a pattern that has been created within the area, dating back to medieval times. The evidence for this can be found in place names, field patterns, Penistone's historic church, its market and old buildings. Many local families have been there for generations and have surnames that were formed in the Middle Ages. With a focus upon childhood memories and a range of vivid photographs, David Hey explores how the present settlement patterns and landscape have evolved. All of this is compiled to make A History of Penistone and District, a truly fascinating read.

In football, numbers are everywhere. From touches in the opposition box to expected goals, clear-cut chances to win-loss ratios. In the modern game, these numbers help provide the narrative, the drama, and the conversation. They are scrutinised in order to justify results and to predict future outcomes. They even dictate transfer policy and drive clubs to achieve the impossible. But when did the numbers become so important and what do they mean? In Outside the Box, Duncan Alexander looks back at twenty-five years of the Premier League and beyond, uncovering the hidden truths and accepted myths that surround the game. Using the archives of OptaJoe and never-before-seen data, we discover why Liverpool have gone 27 years without winning a league title and why Lionel Messi is the best player in the game’s history. Or is he? Insightful, wry, and hugely entertaining, Outside the Box is an enlightening and accessible account of football across the decades, analysing data from the some of the greatest seasons, players, teams and managers.

Joshua and Jericho... From the moment he read the two names in the newspaper, he knew that the demons from his past had found him. In the steaming jungle of Guatemala, Raymond Coulter had killed a man, and it had destroyed him. But now, those two names had returned, dragging his darkest memories into his present life - was it a coincidence or, perhaps, a message? Whatever it was, the first step in a long journey of death and survival, of hatred and love, had been taken - and he was powerless to alter the course of his own destiny. A moral dilemma on a global scale had to be confronted, the trail of murder had already begun. Addicted and controlled... Watching the man throw himself from the apartment window to a certain death on the concrete far below, she accepted that it was a necessary part of all this. His death was not important to her, but the manner of it was crucial. The wilful act of self-destruction had been the key factor, and it now meant their revenge could finally become a reality. But the old man's visions had told him there was a problem - one man stood in the way of their pursuit of vengeance, and Lucia Cortez had to find him and then she would destroy him. It didn't matter who the man was; nothing and no-one would be allowed to prevent their revenge. Then, and only then, her dying grandfather could start out on his Journey to the Better Place. Raymond and Lucia... Each plagued by the horrors of the past, each searching for the key to the future, but they are being followed by people who will stop at nothing to get what they want. These killers are professional, and they will wait patiently for the right time, the right place - and then the death toll will be increased by two, and there will be no witnesses, they will leave nothing behind.
