Lily's life has been anything but simple. From the strained beginnings of a difficult childhood, to life as an adult in the only way she felt she deserved, she has slowly pushed through with no real sense of self-worth. Lily manages to carve out an existence for herself in the only way she feels she can-not at the center of anything-but rather in the periphery of everyone else. Always on the outskirts of life, Lily tries to establish some sense of normalcy, but only for others. She knows who she is, and that is no consolation. She often refers back to her childhood and takes the few good memories she has, embracing them almost to a fault. Meanwhile, Hazel Lock, an older lady who lived near her as a child, not only watches her grow up, but follows in her shadow and, in a sense, lives vicariously through her. In Hazel's mind, Lily is someone she would have liked to have been. And if she had been given certain advantages that she sees in Lily, her life would have been different. When Hazel and Lily finally meet, these two soul-scarred women from two very different generations come together, bringing their similarities and differences, both leading them into an awareness of a startling revelation.

Unnatural Order

By: Liz Porter

It's 1988 and Germany is a country still at war with its own recent history. Australian expat journalist Caroline James, sexually entranced by her German lover, goes to live with him near Stuttgart. But Caroline soon misses the job and London life she gave up to be with Karl, and discovers the darker side of romance with an obsessive man. It also doesn't take long to realise they have little in common beyond mutual sexual passion. So why doesn't she leave? Is there more to her decision to stay, than the lead on a potential news story? A local woman accused of killing her own child seems to be the victim of simmering prejudices until Caroline's research unearths dark secrets from Germany's recent history. Caroline's professional curiosity turns personal as every investigative step she takes drags her deeper into the horrors of the past.

Nudge, nudge, think, think

Experimenting with ways to change citizen behaviour, second edition

By: Peter John,Sarah Cotterill,Alice Moseley,Liz Richardson,Graham Smith,Gerry Stoker,Corinne Wales

How can governments persuade their citizens to act in socially beneficial ways? This ground-breaking book builds on the idea of 'light touch interventions' or 'nudges' proposed in Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein's highly influential Nudge (2008). While recognising the power of this approach, it argues that an alternative also needs to be considered: a 'think' strategy that calls on citizens to decide their own priorities as part of a process of civic and democratic renewal. As well as setting out these divergent approaches in theory, the book provides evidence from a number of experiments to show how using 'nudge' or 'think' techniques works in practice. Updated and rewritten, this second edition features a new epilogue that reflects on recent developments in nudge theory and practice, introducing a radical version of nudge, ‘nudge plus’. There is also a substantial prologue by Cass Sunstein.

Life With Laura

0 - 4.9 Years

By: Liz Yates

Life with Laura'....well, what can I say? Who hasn't had a lively, mischievous daughter? But mine was hell-bent from day one to stamp her mark and wreak havoc on our world wherever she went. She constantly embarrassed us in public with her extrovert behaviour playing to the masses and wrecked shops causing chaos and leaving turmoil in her wake. Everyone said she could make a pig laugh with her antics. This compelling biography is large in content, has 35 captivating 'caught in action' photos and is based on my diaries, pictures and videos. It is driven by my love and fuelled by humour, my own emotions and by interactions with family and friends, and depicts two parents trying desperately to cope. 'Life with Laura' - enjoy the ride! 'We enter Superdrug and I pause momentarily in a small bay by the door to check my list. Big mistake! Laura leans forward from her buggy and pulls on a three-sided, picture-frame style moulding on the wall that displays an advertisement. Oh my, she is demolishing it... and I am on the wrong side to stop her. It is about 3' long with two 18" side struts. She struggles to hold the frame up above her head then bangs one side onto the floor...CRASH!! I am rooted to the spot. All goes deathly quiet and in a loud and clear voice of authority Laura turns round and tells everyone. "It's broken to pieces!" Horrified I take the rest off her and intend to place the two remaining joined pieces on the floor. No such luck...one crashes down...oops! The manager appears scowling and I limply hand him the last bit. "Sorry it's not childproof" is all I can say in her defence. Laura's captive audience is spell-bound. I hear some giggling..........
