The British public school is an iconic institution, traditionally a training ground for the ruling elite and a symbol of national identity. But beyond the elegant architecture and evergreen playing fields is a turbulent history of teenage rebellion, sexual dissidence and political radicalism. This book wades into the wilder shores of public school life over the last three hundred years. It uncovers armed mutinies in the late eighteenth century, a Victorian craze for flagellation, dandy aesthetes of the 1920s, quasi-scientific discourse on masturbation, Communist scares in the 1930s and the salacious tabloid scandals of the present day. Drawing on personal experience, extensive research and public school representations in poetry, school slang, spy films, popular novels and rock music, the author offers a fresh account of upper-class adolescence in Britain and the role of elite private education in shaping youth culture. He shows how this central British institution has inspired a counter-culture of artists, intellectuals and radicals - from Percy Shelley and George Orwell, to Peter Gabriel and Richard Branson - who have rebelled against both the schools and the wider society for which they stand

Drawn from previously classified government material, this book demonstrates official reactions to unexplained phenomena. The guarded comments of politicians and military chiefs on the likelihood and evidence for alien visitations and sightings show their intention to cover up this evidence, and even to misinform the public while making clandestine investigations.

Research shows that strange, unexplained objects have been seen in the skies above our Earth for thousands of years before 1947, when U.S. airman Kenneth Arnold drew the attention of the modern world to the mystery of UFOs. Here, for the first time, is an historical catalog of sightings, presented in an objective style--with neither the passionate claims of the converted nor the skeptical "debunking" that refuses to acknowledge a single shred of evidence. In this comprehensive volume, Peter Brookesmith describes hundreds of UFO reports in chronological order and focuses in detail on the major cases. Each chapter covers a specific area with an analysis of the most intriguing aspects of each period as well as the details of cases in date order. 9" x 13". Color & b&w photos.
