The Alex - The Story of The Alexandra Hotel, Bridlington
The story of The Alexandra Hotel is a warm, affectionate and wide-ranging exploration of generous hospitality on the Yorkshire coast. Set in the context of the exciting turmoil of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and in the changing fortunes of Bridlington as a seaside resort in particular, it offers unexpected insights into people and events. Jostling together we find royalty, a notorious serial killer, wealthy shipping magnates, pop stars, politicians, chancers, an inventor, courting couples and young kitchen staff. We are invited to investigate the mysteries of complementary medicine, suspicions of arson, the art of landscape design and public architecture, the fun of bathing huts and cocktail bars, and inspiring experiences only the seaside can bring.
Summer's Confine
Blurb: The dishes are done, the kids are finally asleep and I'm ready for some "me time" in front of the TV. It might not sound great to you, but for me, it's heaven. Which is why, of course, someone interferes. I wake up in a cell, and I'm not alone in my confinement. I can see at least three more women opposite me and even more a level down from us. Sterile, bland and basic, our cells offer us neither comfort nor privacy. We've been taken. Stolen. Enslaved. Taken from my children, my home, from everything I've ever known. Here, I'm one of many, a prize for those deemed worthy. Little do they know just what a mistake they're making. They took away my choice, now I'm taking it back. Author note: This is a Fantasy/Paranormal RH book recommended for mature audiences. Please be aware that there may be some triggering elements such as being imprisoned and Psychological Torture. This book was written with British spelling in mind.
42
When Douglas Adams died in 2001, he left behind 60 boxes full of notebooks, letters, scripts, jokes, speeches and even poems. In 42, compiled by Douglas’s long-time collaborator Kevin Jon Davies, hundreds of these personal artefacts appear in print for the very first time. Douglas was as much a thinker as he was a writer, and his artefacts reveal how his deep fascination with technology led to ideas which were far ahead of their time: a convention speech envisioning the modern smartphone, with all the information in the world living at our fingertips; sheets of notes predicting the advent of electronic books; journal entries from his forays into home computing – it is a matter of legend ...
Argula von Grumbach (1492–1554/7)
At a time when women were expected to stick to their household duties, according to Peter Matheson, Argula von Grumbach burst through every barrier. Matheson offers here a biography of the Reformation's first woman writer. Argula von Grumbach's first pamphlet in 1523 was reprinted all over Germany. Thousands of copies of her eight pamphlets appeared. Through her writing, von Grumbach defied her Bavarian princes (and her husband), denounced censorship, argued for an educated church and society, and developed her own understanding of faith and Scripture. She even intervened in the Imperial Diets at Nuremberg and Augsburg. Drawing for the first time on her correspondence, the author shows how von Grumbach paid dearly for her outspokenness but remained undaunted. Though some saw her as a she-devil and others as a harbinger of a new age, Matheson shows von Grumbach as a woman engaged in the life of the villages where she lived, as one motivated by the dreams she had for her children. In a time of sweeping change and risking everything for the light and truth she was given, Argula von Grumbach showed what the vision and determination of one person could achieve.
Post-Soviet Women
This volume explores how different post-Soviet countries have reinterpreted and diverged from the Soviet gender roles and values. It synthesizes results from multiple empirical studies that attend to increasingly conservative features of political governance in the region, particularly the authoritarian regime in Russia. The authors consider diverse enactments of ideologies, policies and practices of gender equality and women’s rights in crucial areas, such as legislative institutions, media, and social activism. The volume contributes to understanding post-Soviet societal dynamics relevant to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 5, which emphasizes gender equality as part of fundamental human rights.
The Nations of NATO
War has returned to Europe, and NATO stands at the forefront of the response to Russia's aggression in Ukraine. But how does NATO function? How do NATO member states perceive and act through the Atlantic Alliance? And ultimately how do states shape NATO's cohesion and relevance in the face of threats? The Nations of NATO explores national policies within the Atlantic Alliance. It examines the foreign policies of 16 allies, focusing on issues such as their strategic cultures, relationship with the United States, contributions to NATO operations, levels of defence spending, domestic challenges, and decision-making processes. The recent crisis in Ukraine has without doubt reinvigorated NATO as ...

Small Business Administration
After the Small Business Admin. (SBA) was widely criticized for its performance following the 2005 Gulf Coast hurricanes, the agency took steps to reform the Disaster Loan Program and Congress enacted the Small Business Disaster Response and Loan Improvements Act of 2008 (Act). This report determined: (1) the extent to which SBA addressed the Act's requirements; and (2) how SBA's response to major disasters in 2008 aligned with key components of its June 2007 Disaster Recovery Plan. The report also conducted site visits to areas affected by major 2008 disasters, reviewed SBA's customer satisfaction survey, and obtained the opinions of relevant stakeholders. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
