Jack Simmons Knihy

Set against the backdrop of academia, a philosophy and gender studies professor faces a moral dilemma when tasked with finding a date for her dean's new hire to secure a crucial grant. The challenge intensifies as her options are limited to her unconventional colleagues, who resist conforming to academic norms. As she navigates the polarized political landscape of her institution, the pressure mounts, threatening both her career and sanity. This story explores the intersection of personal ethics and professional ambition in a comedic yet thought-provoking manner.

PRE-ISBN From the inside of the dust jacket: “This book is both a visual study and a documentary. Following a short history of their early days Professor Simmons goes on to deal with the component parts of the railways, their works and track, buildings, locomotives and rolling stock, equipment and its operation; this leads him into a discussion of the men who built and ran them. Having set the scene, the author takes the reader on a series of journeys over three of the more interesting stretches of line in England and Scotland, and gives a complete analysis of the railway system in a single county, Suffolk.”
