      "James Adams has a rare gift. In fact he has three. He is a brilliant writer, a comedic genius and is able to push his mind and body as far as anyone I know. The thought of getting up day after day to run 45 miles in utter agony, through chronic fatigue and sickness doesn't even bear thinking about. His examination of self on that journey is utterly inspiring together with his tales from other incredible feats of endurance. Of all the books on ultra running published in recent years, this has to be the best all rounder."--Amazon.com

      The Channel Tunnel is supposed to be impregnable to terrorism. It isn't. When a train is hijacked mid-tunnel everyone blames the IRA, but the truth is more sinister. Ruthless Hong Kong Triads are behind the outrage. The author also wrote "The Final Terror" and "The Financing of Terror".

      The book delves into the rich history of Tybee Island, a small yet significant coastal community in Georgia. It explores its strategic location near the Savannah River and the influence of five different flags—Spain, France, England, the Confederacy, and the United States—over its history. The narrative highlights how these varying cultural influences shaped the island's identity and development, making it a unique reflection of Georgia's broader historical narrative.

    • American political observers express increasing concern about affective polarization, i.e., partisans' resentment toward political opponents. We advance debates about America's partisan divisions by comparing affective polarization in the US over the past 25 years with affective polarization in 19 other western publics.
