Missteps Perfecting the Shutterbug Strut
It is 1927. An “Era of Wonderful Nonsense.” Vague maps tout grand mysteries, each snapshot means something, and jazzy hijinks abound. Insouciant vagabond ALEXANDRA ILLYRIA BATHENBROOK sets off from Montana to capture images never photographed, hoping to earn an interview with National Geographic. Operating from her London office, she will flirt with becoming a royal mistress, reunite lustful ghosts at notorious Borley Rectory, and stir up mischief at the Winter Olympics in ritzy St. Moritz. Those are the easy ones. More perilous assignments send Alexandra in pursuit of a thrill killer through the dusty alleyways of Marrakech and into the feral bushlands of Uganda to join a hunt for man-eating lions. While seeking a famed explorer in Amazonia, she must face down her inner demons in a desperate bid for survival. Along her brazen journey, she will outwit, outcharm, and outbrave detractors and rapscallions… even romance a few. Yet most telling, Alexandra will find her best self in rekindling hope within her war-scarred brother and uncovering the scandalous reason she’s forever lost among the fallen.
The Politics of the Climate Change-Health Nexus

"No go to Sally's"
When Sasha discovers her two-and-a-half-year old son is being physically abused by his childminder, she assumes the child protection authorities will spring into action and have this woman brought to justice or at least bar her from working with children. She was wrong. No go to Sally's is the true story of one mother's fight against the "system" to have her child's voice heard. With actual letters and interview transcripts, the story of this family's ordeal is essential reading for every parent and anyone who works with children. It shows how easy it is to become a childminder and how hard it is to expose a bad one. It is an insight of value to all parents into the challenges of making an allegation of child abuse. It is a guide to the practicalities of taking on the child-protection authorities when they fail in their duties. It is an overview of the people and organizations parents need to know about when making a complaint. It is written by a journalist applying all her skills and forensic approach to detail. No go to Sally's won't just make you cry; it will make you angry and determined that this never happens to you and your child.
