Soon enough it'll sprout, and then we'll be breathing it in.A builder unearths a hand, buried on a building site; a woman with a unique way of speaking to the dead comes across her toughest client to date; a young man returns to his hometown, desperately searching for his missing sister.In his debut collection, Daniel Carpenter explores places and the people who get lost in them. From Manchester to London, as well as the uncanny fringes of England, these are stories that span the breadth of the Weird.

This manual provides detailed descriptions of the rules of design, and uses these rules to cast a critical eye over a selection of contemporary high-street magazines. The second part of the volume demonstrates how the tools of design can be applied to the analysis and practice of magazine design.

Petitioning has a forgotten but essential role in the history of modern democracy. In the antebellum era, petitions gave North Americans, especially the disenfranchised, a critical tool to shape the political agenda. Daniel Carpenter shows how mass petitioning facilitated civil rights, voting, organizing, and other advances in liberty and equality.
