The first person the Marquis of Mullineaux chanced to meet upon his return to England was the very last person he wanted to see—Lady Carberry, the woman who had scandalized the haute ton by breaking off their engagement. She was just as displeased to meet him. He had, after all, sacrificed her reputation to save his pride. Thrown together by circumstance, Alicia and James found themselves constantly at war with one another. James was determined to discover the truth about their past. Only then would he also discover that behind their anger lay a passion that had never died.

In Hot Blood

A Casebook of Historic British Crimes of Passion

By: Nicola Sly

This chilling compendium of historic crimes features 28 cases that shocked the nation during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Among the cases featured here are the shooting of Bessie Cross, after she fell pregnant while her husband was away serving his country in 1917, and the 1869 murders of Maria Death and her alleged lover by Maria's partner, Frederick Hinson. It also recalls the tragic stories of Elvira Barney and Ruth Ellis, who shot and killed their lovers in 1932 and 1955 respectively, with very different consequences. Along with the most notorious cases, this book also features many that did not make national headlines, examining not only the methods and motives but also the real stories of the perpetrators and their victims. This book is a must for true-crime fans everywhere.

The Action Plan for Australian Lizards and Snakes 2017

By: Nicola Mitchell,Neil Cox,Philip Bowles,Reid Tingley,Stewart Macdonald,Glenn Shea,J Scott Keogh,John Woinarski,David Chapple

Lizards and snakes (squamate reptiles) are the most diverse vertebrate group in Australia, with approximately 1000 described species, representing about 10% of the global squamate diversity. Squamates are a vital part of the Australian ecosystem, but their conservation has been hindered by a lack of knowledge of their diversity, distribution, biology and key threats. The Action Plan for Australian Lizards and Snakes 2017 provides the first comprehensive assessment of the conservation status of Australian squamates in 25 years. Conservation assessments are provided for 986 species of Australian lizards and snakes (including sea snakes). Over the past 25 years there has been a substantial increase in the number of species and families recognised within Australia. There has also been an increase in the range and magnitude of threatening processes with the potential to impact squamates. This has resulted in an increase in the proportion of the Australian squamate fauna that is considered Threatened. Notably over this period, the first known extinction (post-European settlement) of an Australian reptile species occurred – an indication of the increasingly urgent need for better knowledge and management of this fauna. Six key recommendations are presented to improve the conservation management and plight of Australian squamates. This Action Plan represents an essential resource for research scientists, conservation biologists, conservation managers, environmental consultants, policy makers from Commonwealth and State/Territory governments, and the herpetological community.

Dear Little Corpses

By: Nicola Upson

It takes a village to bury a child... September 1st, 1939. As the mass evacuation takes place across Britain, thousands of children leave London for the countryside, but when a little girl vanishes without a trace, the reality of separation becomes more urgent and more deadly for those who love her. In the chaos and uncertainty of war, Josephine struggles with the prospect of change. As a cloud of suspicion falls across the small Suffolk village she has come to love, the conflict becomes personal, and events take a dark and sinister turn. Blending a Golden Age mystery with the timeless fears of a child’s abduction, Dear Little Corpses is an atmospheric snapshot of England in the early days of war.

Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery, 2nd edition

By: Narain Moorjani,Nicola Viola,Christopher Caldarone

This is the 2nd edition of Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery, which has become the must-read book for all cardiac surgical practitioners and is part of the revolutionary 'Key Questions' series of cardiothoracic surgical textbooks, including Key Questions in Thoracic Surgery and Key Questions in Congenital Cardiac Surgery. The 1st edition was an international bestselling cardiac surgical textbook, for many years being the most popular cardiac surgical book on amazon, with amazing feedback and reviews. It also received a Highly Commended Award at the British Medical Association (BMA) Medical Book Awards and has been placed on the US Thoracic Surgery Directors Association (TSDA) recommended reading list for American cardiothoracic surgery residents and fellows. Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery provides a systematic overview of the important topics in contemporary adult cardiac surgical practice. The text is evidence-based, incorporating current literature and has been updated from the 1st edition with the most recent American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology guidelines. This illustrated concise text is a practical and clinically focused book that covers all the key questions in cardiac surgery. Additional chapters on statistics and pulmonary embolism have been included, with the main chapters having been updated describing contemporary surgical techniques and management philosophies. Whilst being an ideal reference for cardiac surgical trainees and residents, especially when undertaking their cardiothoracic surgery board examinations, this book is also of great value to other specialties involved in the care of cardiac surgical patients, including cardiologists, cardiothoracic intensivists, nurses and physiotherapists. Here are just a few of the reviews on the 1st edition: “Although this book is aimed at cardiac surgical trainees and residents, the authors’ refreshing approach of posing questions and answers as a teaching tool makes this a joy to read for someone who has been practising cardiac surgery for over 30 years. It is beautifully presented with exceptionally clear diagrams interposed with photographs, a combination which works well. Overall, this is an exceptionally well produced book which is a delight to read and is likely to run to several more editions.” Professor of Cardiac Surgery, Royal Brompton Hospital, London, UK on behalf of the British Journal of Cardiology “I recommend this book for cardiac surgery trainees, full-fledged surgeons, and also for other medical practitioners wanting a brief and precise overview into our speciality, without having to pick up heavy textbooks and spend precious time searching for information.” Professor of Cardiac Surgery, University Hospital Zurich, Switzerland on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology "The title of this book Key Questions in Cardiac Surgery is appropriate since it covers systematically all questions asked in examinations or during the ward round. It is written in a question-answer format which makes it interesting to read. The illustrations are very good. The diagrams have been made in such a way that they provide a surgeon’s view. This book is based on the guidelines issued by the American Heart Association and European Society of Cardiology, and incorporates facts based on current scientific literature. Each chapter has a list of key scientific references for further reading. We would recommend this book as a companion for all cardiac surgery and cardiology trainees, perfusionists and cardiac anaesthesiologists. Overall, this book provides a practical and new approach to understand adult cardiac surgery." Professor of Cardiac Surgery & Editor-in-Chief on behalf of the Indian Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery "A wonderful book. I have been looking for such a book for a very long time. It gives a global view on all aspects of adult cardiac surgery with emphasis on the important points. It is written in a very smooth and easy way. Its size is perfect so it can be carried everywhere. In my opinion, it is a must-have book if one is preparing for the speciality exam. Junior and senior trainees will also find it helpful during their career." Waterstones review “...it is a definite 'must have' for all cardiac surgery trainees. It not only covers practical issues but also those areas that are favourites of examiners! It will also be of use to those experienced cardiac surgeons who have to take recertification exams (in the US) or for those who are simply looking for questions (and the answers) to throw out on ward rounds!” Amazon review “What a fantastic book that covers all the important topics for everyday practice in cardiac surgery. It answers all the questions asked on a ward round and also the exams, and is perfect to read between cases or whilst on call. The book is written in a concise, structured and easy to read manner. The best part of the book is its colour illustrations, and the text!!! They seem to have been drawn from a surgical perspective and beautifully illustrate the important features when operating. On top of that, the book has hundreds of cardiac investigations images that demonstrate all the different pathologies.” Amazon review “Covering all aspects of cardiothoracic surgery by highlighting the most important details, for sure it can be the guide for every cardiothoracic trainee. Easy to read and understand, perfect illustrations and full of secrets and details that only experienced surgeons would be aware off.” Amazon review “This is an amazing book. It is the only text I came across that puts all the important information in one place without having to dig around the internet or several textbooks. The book is very well written with a simple question and answer style that also lends itself to reading in small segments as well as concentrated revision. It comprehensively covers the basic sciences, cardiac investigations, cardiopulmonary bypass, cardiac surgical diseases and the post-operative management of these patients. It answers all the questions that are asked in the operating room, on rounds or in an oral examination. Unlike other revision texts, this book has an amazing array of colour images, both illustrations and real radiology/cardiology investigations which help to explain the key concepts. Surgical anatomy and technique is clearly demonstrated. The book also has a fantastic collection of all the seminal publications important for contemporary cardiac practice, especially in the coronary artery disease and heart failure chapters. It also includes all the up-to-date American and European guidelines, including the recently published ESC coronary revascularisation recommendations.” Amazon review

Best Before

The Evolution and Future of Processed Food

By: Nicola Temple

The whole story behind what's in the food on our plate. Long before there was the ready meal, humans processed food to preserve it and make it safe. From fire to fermentation, our ancestors survived periods of famine by changing the very nature of their food. This ability to process food has undoubtedly made us one of the most successful species on the planet, but have we gone too far? Through manipulating chemical reactions and organisms, scientists have unlocked methods of improving food longevity and increasing supply, from apples that stay fresh for weeks to cheese that is matured over days rather than months. And more obscure types of food processing, such as growing steaks in a test-tube and 3D-printed pizzas, seem to have come straight from the pages of a science-fiction novel. These developments are keeping up with the changing needs of the demanding consumer, but we only notice them when the latest scaremongering headline hits the news. Best Before puts processed food into perspective. It explores how processing methods have evolved in many of the foods that we love in response to big business, consumer demand, health concerns, innovation, political will, waste and even war. Best Before arms readers with the information they need to be rational consumers, capable of making informed decisions about their food.
