Exploring LGBTQ history beyond London, this book highlights the diverse queer experiences across four English cities from the 1960s to the 2000s.

Through the lens of local people, places, and politics, the authors reveal how these cities cultivated their own unique and vibrant queer identities, offering a rich alternative narrative to mainstream LGBTQ history in Britain.

It is 1997. To himself, Benjamin Carter is a thing drifted somehow out of its orbit. With the news that Great Aunt Pearl is dead, his summer is looking like yet another non-starter. There's his summons to the clearance of her ramshackle house. His dad's awkward pep talks. A toxic cocktail of over-zealous aunts and uncles. And then there's the Church of the Holy Heavens - the space cult that's been wooing Pearl for all she's worth.

Exploring more than seventy-five well-known paradoxes in mathematics, philosophy, physics, and the social sciences showing how reason and logic can dispel the illusion of contradiction. Paradox is a sophisticated kind of magic trick. A magician's purpose is to create the appearance of impossibility, to pull a rabbit from an empty hat. Yet paradox doesn't require tangibles, like rabbits or hats. Paradox works in the abstract, with words and concepts and symbols, to create the illusion of contradiction. There are no contradictions in reality, but there can appear to be. In Sleight of Mind, Matt Cook and a few collaborators dive deeply into more than 75 paradoxes in mathematics, physics, philosophy, and the social sciences. As each paradox is discussed and resolved, Cook helps readers discover the meaning of knowledge and the proper formation of concepts--and how reason can dispel the illusion of contradiction.

However, beneath the surface of her enviable existence lies the potential for deeper challenges and complexities that may redefine her understanding of luck and success.
