The Infirmary
St Hilda's House sounds like the perfect holiday in the countryside for Joel, Lauren, and their two daughters. But troubled teenager, Summer, is soon unnerved by the sickly sweet odour in her bedroom and the lady from next door who announces she's seen 'the doctor' in the house. Meanwhile, 7 year old Xanthe is drawn to the wood at the bottom of the garden, Joel's hypochondria spirals out of control, compounded by the secrets he's keeping from his wife, and Lauren, puzzled by what lies behind the locked door on the first floor, struggles to keep her increasingly disturbed family safe. As things go from bad to worse, the family pray that they'll be free of whatever is haunting them. Back home, the family make efforts to resume an ordinary life. Joel has told Lauren about the money he lost on the stock market, and Summer finally seems happy in school. But Xanthe is hiding a secret of her own: aware of her own powers to speak to the dead, she has brought a friend home with her from St Hilda's House.
Hear Him Calling
'Powerful, haunting and truly terrifying' CHRIS WHITAKER, author of We Begin at the End 'Beautifully written and epically scary' ROSIE ANDREWS, author of The Leviathan 'Carly Reagon is one to watch' C. J. COOKE, author of A Haunting in the Arctic DISCOVER THE GHOST STORY THAT WON'T LET YOU GO . . . Kyle can barely remember his grandfather. So when they inherit his old house - a damp, secluded tower on the edge of a Welsh mountain village - Kyle and his wife, Lydia, feel they are moving into the home of a stranger. From the start, Lydia hates the house: the disturbing paintings in the attic, the hostility of the locals, the peculiar light that pours through the kitchen window. Kyle thinks Lydia needs a break from London, from the nightmares and the panic attacks. But over the coming weeks, Lydia's sense of dread only becomes more insistent, whilst Kyle is drawn to the house in ways he cannot explain. Yet as winter approaches, cutting them off, the house must become their refuge. For outside, on the mountain, something is calling to them. Something that has waited decades, and wants to be let in.
Using Occupational Therapy Theory in Practice
Competence in any profession depends upon an understanding of the theory that underlies it. This concise and practical text for students and practitioners bridges the gap between occupational therapy theory and clinical practice, offering highly practical advice on using theory in practice in a wide range of settings. It considers the nature of professional practice and the need for a sound theoretical basis from which to plan, implement and justify interventions, and investigates the practical use of occupational therapy theory and the issues such use raises in health and social care settings from a European perspective. Every occupational therapy student worldwide needs to know about the underlying theory of their profession and its application to practice. The book particularly debates the nature of the theory of occupational therapy via the introduction of the concept of models of the profession as an umbrella for practice, all of which is brought to life via case studies incorporating expert advice, reflection exercises and assessment and evaluation forms.

Home and International Law
This book is about home and international law. More specifically, it is about the profound, and frequently devastating, transformations of home that are happening almost everywhere in the world today and what international law has to do with them. Through three stories of home – the desert home, the lake home and the city home – this book traces how the everyday operations of international law shape the material, affective and imaginative experience of home. It argues that international law’s ‘homemaking work’ is characterised by acts of domination, practices of resistance and the production of unhomely spaces. However, the book also considers whether and how the liberatory potenti...
