The Probable Future
When the women in the Sparrow family reach thirteen, they develop a unique ability. In young Stella's case, the gift, which is both a blessing and a curse, is the ability to see a person's probable future. Stella foresees a gruesome murder, and tells her charming, feckless father about it, but it is too late - the murder has already been committed and suspicion falls on him. Hoffman unlocks the caskets of family life and the secret history of a community in this magical story about young love and old love, about making choices - usually the wrong ones - about foresight and consequences, all suffused with the haunting scent of roses and wisteria, and the hum of bees on a summer evening.

Edinburgh Companion to Jane Austen and the Arts
Jane Austen was a keen consumer of the arts throughout her lifetime. The Edinburgh Companion to Jane Austen and the Arts considers how Austen represents the arts in her writing, from her juvenilia to her mature novels. The thirty-three original chapters in this Companion cover the full range of Austen's engagement with the arts, including the silhouette and the caricature, crafts, theatre, fashion, music and dance, together with the artistic potential of both interior and exterior spaces. This volume also explores her artistic afterlives in creative re-imaginings across different media, including adaptations and transpositions in film, television, theatre, digital platforms and games.
Choice, Rules and Collective Action
This volume brings together a set of key writings of Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences co-recipient Elinor Ostrom and public choice political economy cofounder Vincent Ostrom, in which the two scholars introduce, elaborate and explain their approaches, conceptual frameworks and analytical perspectives to the study of institutions and institutional performance. The book brings together a number of texts representing the main analytical and conceptual vehicles articulated and used by the Ostroms and their collaborators in the creation of the so-called Bloomington School of public choice and institutional theory. The focus is hence on the conceptual lenses and theoretical apparatus that shaped the construction of their work; an attempt to illustrate them, via selected readings organized using a tentative interpretative framework. Its ultimate objective is not only to offer a direct introduction to the conceptual, theoretical and epistemic perspectives that shaped and inspired this prominent research program, but also to point out the fascinating intellectual avenues opened by the Ostroms' and that invite further exploration and investigation.--
