The ballad is one of the oldest poetic forms in English and are simply poems or songs that tell a story. Maybe it’s because of childhood associations or that we all enjoy a cracking good story told in rhyme but as this volume demonstrates, the ballad has endless appeal. We include favourites such as Coleridge’s The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Edna St. Vincent Millay’s The Ballad of the Harp Weaver, Edgar Allan Poe’s Annabel Lee as well as classics such as Sir Patrick Spens, the Ballad of Reading Gaol by Wilde and La Belle Dame Sans Merci by Keats.

When Sam was forced to retire from a long storied career with the NYPD, he hoped for the best, but prepared for the worst. The worst came one dark day when an EMP decimated the nation's power grid, plunging the entire country into darkness and stranding his wife and teenage son in the middle of Manhattan.

As the EMP wreaks havoc on the power grid, John Wolfe knows he must act fast. Every second counts as he battles his way down the treacherous Appalachian Mountains, the enemy hot on his heels. With the safety and survival of his loved ones at stake, he pushes himself to the limit, determined to reach the city and outwit the enemy.

When an EMP decimates the world’s power grid, society falls faster than anyone could have imagined. For Connor Murray, the fall of the old world only means he’ll have to fight to survive into the new one. As violent militant extremists rapidly overwhelm the city, Connor is forced to fight his way out to safety, using the survival skills passed down to him from his father. But while Connor is fighting his way out, little does he know that his father and sister are fighting their way in to come and save him.

We measure rainfall and radiation, the depths of space and the emptiness of atoms, calories and steps, happiness and fear. If we could not measure then we could not observe the world around us; we could not experiment, learn, and co-operate. But why did this urge to measure flourish? And when did measurement become ubiquitous? It is an incredible story that spans hunter-gatherer societies to ancient Egyptians, the French Revolution to the relentless quantification of the 21st-century self. It is a tale that tracks humanity's search for dependable truths in a chaotic universe.
