Hamburgers & Homicide

Poppy's Food Truck Mysteries #1

By: Moira Bates

Bluebonnet Trails Bike Race is coming up and Poppy is laser-focused on getting her food truck ready for the crowds. Her tireless assistant, Kim, is there every step of the way—creating recipes, sourcing ingredients, and spending hot Texas days in what amounts to a large metal box—until a wrong step sends her to the hospital with a broken leg. Afraid she is going to miss out on the race crowds, Poppy quickly hires a temporary assistant. Everything is back on track until her new help stumbles out of the food truck, a kitchen knife plunged in her gut. She manages to utter one word before passing—“Poppy.” Now Poppy is again without an assistant, and people aren’t exactly lining up to help, considering previous help ended up in the hospital and morgue, respectively. Oh, and there is the little problem that half the town now believes she is a murderer. Fans of Aurora Teagarden will love this spunky, young sleuth. Poppy’s Food Truck Mysteries do not contain graphic violence, gore, strong language, or cliffhangers. Bonus content includes a recipe for Poppy’s Lone Star Burger with Pecan-Cilantro Pesto and Crunchy Southwestern Relish.

Made-up for Murder

By: Moira Bates

“You do the crime; you do the time.” Julia Melvin had repeated those words countless times as she raised her children, proud to be teaching them personal responsibility. She did not expect to hear them parroted back from her young adult son on her one phone call from the county jail following a small skirmish at a protest against animal testing at a local cosmetics company. Upon her release, she vowed to change her criminal ways and stay far away from the protest site. And she did. Kind of. Mostly. She just wanted to help the animals. How was she supposed to know she’d stumble over the dead body of the company owner? Now she’s got two criminal cases pending and is doing all she can to avoid having murder added to her ever-growing rap sheet. Fans of Agatha Raisin will love forty-something and fierce Julia Jane Melvin. Mid-Life Mysteries do not contain graphic violence, gore, strong language, or cliffhangers.

NW Trilogy

Dance Floor; Life of Riley; Waking/Walking

By: Roy Williams,Suhayla El-Bushra,Moira Buffini

Set amongst the vibrant, intense cacophony of North West London, NW Trilogy is a collection of three vivid stories, told over one performance, that remember and celebrate people who changed the course of history. The personal is political in these soulful explorations of what it means to be part of one of the most dynamic communities in the world. First, we reel to a dance hall in 'County Kilburn' in Moira Buffini's Dance Floor where the Guinness flows, the music never stops and for homesick Aoife, there's far more at stake than a dance. In Roy Williams' bittersweet Life of Riley, Paulette is on a journey to connect with her estranged father Riley, a reggae musician once part of the influential Trojan Records scene, who can't seem to let go of the past. And, Suhayla El-Bushra's Waking/Walking introduces us to Anjali, a wife, mother and newly arrived migrant following Idi Amin's expulsion of the Asian minority from Uganda, who is torn between not making a fuss and seizing her moment to take a stand as the Grunwick dispute unfolds. NW Trilogy is powerful, funny and epic and shows us how we can change the world from our doorstep. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere as NW Trilogy at Kiln Theatre, London, in August 2021.

Using Forensic DNA Evidence at Trial

A Case Study Approach

By: Jane Moira Taupin

Using Forensic DNA Evidence at Trial: A Case Study Approach covers the most common DNA analysis methods used in criminal trials today, including STR techniques, mitochondrial DNA, and Y-STRs. It presents some novel techniques—including familial testing and analyzing domestic animal hair—that have been recently introduced in unique cases, each of which is outlined in detail. It also illustrates special issues related to forensic DNA evidence by using court proceedings such as trials and appeals, commissions of inquiry, and government and laboratory reviews. With forensic DNA analysis becoming increasingly important at trial, the lively and sometimes bizarre cases presented in this book have been carefully chosen to highlight specific concepts, methods, and interpretations used in DNA analysis. Sections throughout examine the nature of expertise with a special focus on the role of subjectivity in the interpretation of forensic DNA evidence, emphasizing cognitive bias and extraneous context. Using both convictions and exonerations as examples, the book also discusses the strengths and limitations of DNA evidence and testing. The book is written in an accessible manner for the non-scientific reader, such that criminal lawyers, judges, and forensic experts will all understand the nature of analysis and application of DNA evidence in a variety of court cases. Extensive references—including notable trial proceedings, cross references of cases, and specific forensic statistics—round out the book and help to provide a complete understanding of forensic DNA analysis and its current usage in the courtroom.

Binding Violence

Literary Visions of Political Origins

By: Moira Fradinger

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Binding Violence

Literary Visions of Political Origins

By: Moira Fradinger

Binding Violence exposes the relation between literary imagination, autonomous politics, and violence through the close analysis of literary texts—in particular Sophocles' Antigone, D. A. F. de Sade's 120 Days of Sodom, and Vargas Llosa's The Feast of the Goat—that speak to a blind spot in democratic theory, namely, how we decide democratically on the borders of our political communities. These works bear the imprint of the anxieties of democracy concerning its other—violence—especially when the question of a redefinition of membership is at stake. The book shares the philosophical interest in rethinking politics that has recently surfaced at the crossroads of literary criticism, philosophy, critical theory, and psychoanalysis. Fradinger takes seriously the responsibility to think through and give names to the political uses of violence and to provoke useful reflection on the problem of violence as it relates to politics and on literature as it relates to its times.

Technology-enhanced Learning in the Early Years Foundation Stage

By: Moira Savage,Anthony Barnett

Discussing learning technologies in relation to young children often provokes a wide range of passionate responses, from sceptics to enthusiasts. This text explores the issues in a holistic, pedagogical and research-informed way. It helps professionals unpick the complex issues involved, understand the scope of available technology, examine the interplay between learning and specific technologies, and more broadly create a vision for a technology-enabled learning environment that is child-centred, playful, creative and interactive. Recurring case studies are analysed from a number of theoretical perspectives, and the approach deliberately goes beyond the scope of ‘understanding of the world’ to consider the contribution of technology-enhanced learning to a range of different contexts and subject areas. Throughout there are clear links to professional standards, the Early Years Foundation Stage and the characteristics of effective learning.

Mind Race

A Firsthand Account of One Teenager's Experience with Bipolar Disorder

By: Patrick E. Jamieson,Moira A. Rynn

Diagnosed with bipolar disorder at the sage of fifteen, author Patrick Jamieson found that there was not a single book on the illness available for young people - so he wrote his own. Jamieson, now an adult, tells his story with good humor and insight, discussing his own challenges and triumphs. An optimistic and practical guide designed for young people who have been diagnosed with this potentially devastating disorder, this book gives practical tips and easy-to-understand science about bipolar disorder, including its causes, symptoms, treatment, and management, and offers guidance on such issues as psychiatric hospitalization, living with mood-stabilizing medications, and how to talk to your family and friends about mental illness."--BOOK JACKET.
