Kelvin I. Jones has been writing about Sherlock Holmes for over 50 years, and studied the real-life crime, criminals and criminalistics of the late Victorians. Kelvin’s forensic approach has already made a significant impact on the Holmes aficionado, previous titles including ‘The Sherlock Holmes Murder Files,’ etc. However, the first of this three volume magnum opus on Holmes and crime covers absolutely everything that the reader fresh to, or even more familiar with Holmes wants to know about the murder and mayhem of his age. And there is much more. We learn about the poisoners, the prostitutes, the garrotters, the psychopaths and the abductors; in fact the whole panoply of the dangerous criminal underworld once lorded over by Moriarty. This exhaustive study, with its grim descriptions of the savage criminals of that age, is portrayed in graphic, uncompromising detail. What also emerges is a profile of the real Conan Doyle. Here is a profile of an author who knew more than is assumed about crime; and the book includes an examination of the Ripper, plus Conan Doyle’s theories on the murderer’s identity. Profusely illustrated, with many rare illustrations from 19th Century documents. Overall, a stunning contribution to the literature about Holmes, by someone who David Marcum, the editor and author of Holmes pastiches, once described as ‘a Master Sherlockian.’
A shocking account of the savage world in which Sherlock Holmes operated. The crimes of The Ripper; Conan Doyle's knowledge of the killer's identity; the methods employed by criminals, and of their pursuers; the harrowing truth about Holmes' drug abuse, and of his gang of 'street arabs', the long-lost crime monographs by the Baker Street sleuth; and much more, this book tells the true story of Holmes' gas-lit and sinister criminal world. "Victorian society was violent & exploitive..., footpads and garrotters stalked the streets of the City...beggars were rife.". Kelvin is the author of many books about Holmes, the definitive biography of Doyle as a spiritualist & the 3 volume edition of the author's spiritualist writings. A distinguished life member of the Sherlock Holmes Society of London, he has published contemporary crime novels and poetry, and is a member of the Crime Writers' Association.

The Document Methodology is written for anyone who is trying to manage, operate, understand or change a relatively complex set of business processes supported by an information system on a computer network. The Document Methodology embodies five axioms that form the basis for its approach. The sequence of the axioms reflects the sequence of the book, with each axiom discussed individually in Chapters 2 to 6. The axioms are: 1. Documents record enterprise knowledge. Knowing what support cycles were used to record and access knowledge in what documents provides a base to create more value. 2. Documents define the enterprise process. Defining projects with document milestones of core processes provides a foundation for monitoring and compiling statistics on enterprise performance. 3. Documents provide facts to manage people. The summary of process and resource statistics can be used by the management infrastructure to operate and change its core processes. 4. Documents structure support systems. Requirements for exceptional access to knowledge and for computation of process statistics frame an enabling technology architecture. 5. Documents guide enterprise change. Using variance to understand process and relieve bottlenecks provides the facts to simulate, plan and deploy innovative change.
Transforming your well-being is a journey that many of us embark on at different stages in our lives. It's not just about shedding a few pounds or fitting into that dress for an upcoming event; it's about cultivating a lifestyle that nurtures both our physical and mental health. Over the years, I've discovered that embracing wholesome low-carb dishes has not only helped me manage my weight but has also boosted my energy levels and overall mood. Let me take you through some strategies and delicious recipes that can pave the way for a fulfilling path to health. First, let's talk about what a low-carb lifestyle really means. For me, it's about reducing the intake of sugars and refined carbs while focusing on whole foods. This doesn't mean you have to give up on flavor or variety. In fact, I've found that cooking with fresh ingredients opens up a world of culinary possibilities. One of my favorite low-carb meals is a zesty zucchini noodle stir-fry. I simply spiralize some zucchini, toss in colorful bell peppers, and sauté them with garlic and ginger. It's quick, satisfying, and oh-so-delicious! Incorporating healthy fats into your diet is another key strategy. I've experimented with avocados, olive oil, and nuts, which not only add flavor but also keep you full longer. A simple avocado salad with cherry tomatoes and a sprinkle of feta can be a refreshing side dish or a light main course. I often prepare this when I'm feeling sluggish; it's like a burst of energy on a plate! Beyond food, I believe that lifestyle changes play a crucial role in transforming our well-being. I've started incorporating regular physical activity into my routine, and it doesn't have to be a chore. Whether it's a brisk walk in the park, a dance class with friends, or a home workout video, moving your body can be invigorating. I've found that doing something I enjoy makes it feel less like exercise and more like play. Mindfulness and mental health are also vital components of a wholesome lifestyle. I've recently taken up meditation, and while I'm still learning, I've noticed a significant difference in my stress levels. Even just taking a few minutes each day to breathe deeply and reflect can be transformative. Apps like Headspace or Calm have been helpful for me, guiding me through the process. Another aspect that I've found beneficial is community. Sharing meals and experiences with friends and family can enhance your journey toward better health. I often host potlucks where everyone brings a low-carb dish to share. It's a fun way to try new recipes and bond over our collective commitment to healthier eating. Lastly, I can't stress enough the importance of being kind to yourself. There will be days when you slip up or don't feel motivated, and that's perfectly okay. I've learned that progress isn't linear, and every small step counts. Celebrate your victories, no matter how minor they may seem. In conclusion, transforming your well-being is a multifaceted journey that involves nourishing your body with wholesome low-carb dishes, engaging in physical activity, cultivating mindfulness, and fostering community connections. It's about finding what works for you and embracing the process. I encourage you to explore new recipes, try out different activities, and be patient with yourself. Remember, it's not about perfection; it's about making choices that lead to a healthier, happier you.
After 40 years of Cold War, NATO found itself intervening in Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo and Afghanistan, where the ability to communicate with local people was essential to the success of the missions. This book explains how the Alliance responded to this challenge so as to ensure that the missions did not fail through lack of understanding.
This work shows how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) can contribute to children's learning, how it can be integrated into a play based curriculum and how it relates to key areas of learning such as collaboration, communication, exploration and socio-dramatic play. It outlines the ICT requirements in the UK Foundation Stage Curriculum Guidance, and it examines the international relevance and implications of ICT for young children. The text provides a critical account of the digital divide, suggesting practical strategies for all the individuals and institutions working towards social justice. It offers guidance for the development of centre based practice and on curriculum integration and the selection of developmentally appropriate educational software. It also explores ergonomic issues, as revealed by research. How should children sit at a computer? For how long? What are the risks? Emphasis is placed on the processes of policy development and the realization of change and guidance is given on how to use development plans and evaluation tools.
Witchcraft In Cornwall," first published in 1995, was the first ever, thorough attempt to chart this social and historical phenomenon. Based on primary records and folklore, its author, a successful crime novelist and author of a Spiritualist biography of Conan Doyle, also republished numerous editions of 19th Century folklore collections under the imprint of "Oakmagic Publications." This newly revised edition incorporates much new material concerning spells, charms and cures and attempts to show witchcraft, not as a religion but as a folk craft.
