Just Plain Wrong
The educated public have long been regaled with “the mysteries of quantum physics”, which enshroud far- flung claims about the fundamental nature of matter. These rely on a stunning proposition of quantum theory arising in the 1960s and contested through the subsequent sixty years: that the probabilities deriving from it defy a mathematical inequality known as Bell’s inequality. John Bell himself, who formulated the problem, was puzzled by the result, and surmised that in time we would discover what is wrong with its characterisation of the matter. In this book, Frank Lad claims to have identified the mathematical error that gives rise to the misunderstanding. Addressed as a challenge to the physics community, its content is accessible to any generally educated reader who is familiar with university-level concepts of linear algebra and functions of several variables. Understanding of complete mathematical detail is not required for appreciation. Largely ignored and dismissed by the scientific community of professional physicists, here is the background to the result, and the resolution to the controversy.

Childhood in the Liverpool Slums
The idea of childhood is a social construction. The word means different things to different people. To some it means happy memories, to others it is best forgotten. The childhoods identified here are set in the realms of poverty, bad housing, little material benefits and little prospects for the future. This is a description of fortitude, hope and survival against the odds, of those childhoods that took place in the Liverpool slums. The text contains a background history supported by photographic evidence, of childhood in Liverpool’s slum housing. It covers the culture, events and its music during the 1950s and 1960s. These are interspersed with and linked to, personal experiences of the author and some theoretical perspectives on childhood. To those from Liverpool, it is a reminder of how things used to be in an entirely different age and world. To those not from the area it is a window on a unique way of life that came and went. For researchers it is a supply of rich first-hand data and hopefully, for all, a good, interesting read.
