Heather and the Highlander
Can an English wallflower survive on the Scottish moors? Heather is a spitfire disguised as a spinster. Unwilling to face a marriage to a loathsome man, she does the only sensible thing…she runs away to Scotland! Unfortunately, before she even crosses the border, her coach is held up and a dashing Scotsman rides to her rescue. Niall MacNair will gamble on nearly anything, but he wouldn’t have bet on finding a bonny blossom of a lady in the middle of the high road. But Heather proves to be much more than a pretty face, and when he hears her tragic tale, Niall makes a mad proposal: marry him instead! Can a simple yes solve all of Heather’s troubles? Of course not, and soon the couple find themselves in a whirlwind of family drama, passionate embraces, and hidden dangers. Heather must draw on her wit and the advice of her best friends from Wildwood Hall to get through this thorny path to true happiness with her daring highlander. The Wallflowers of Wildwood series follows five young women as they leave their beloved boarding school and venture out into the cutthroat world of the marriage mart. Get ready, London. These wallflowers are wilder than you think!

Same Date of Rank - Grads at the Top and Bottom from West Point, Annapolis and the Air Force Academy
Does class rank really matter? Q: What do you call the person who’s last in their class in medical or law school? A: Doctor or Lawyer. Q: And, what do you call the person who’s last in their class at West Point, Annapolis or the U.S. Air Force Academy? A: Lieutenant or Ensign. Same Date of Rank salutes 17 men and three women grads at the top and bottom, representing the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. They range from the “goat” or last man in West Point’s Class of 1942, who was the fi rst man in his class promoted to Brigadier General, to a 1999 Annapolis All-American rugby player who has served three tours in Iraq as a Marine Corps Captain.

Rethinking Colonialism
Historical archaeology studies once relied upon a binary view of colonialism: colonizers and colonized, the colonial period and the postcolonial period. The contributors to this volume scrutinize imperialism and expansionism through an alternative lens that rejects simple dualities and explores the variously gendered, racialized, and occupied peoples of a multitude of faiths, desires, associations, and constraints. Colonialism is not a phase in the chronology of a people but a continuous phenomenon that spans the Old and New Worlds. Most important, the contributors argue that its impacts—and, in some instances, even the same processes set in place by the likes of Columbus—are ongoing. Inciting a critical examination of the lasting consequences of ancient and modern colonialism on descendant communities, this wide-ranging volume includes essays on Roman Britain, slavery in Brazil, and contemporary Native Americans. In its efforts to define the scope of colonialism and the comparability of its features, this collection challenges the field to go beyond familiar geographical and historical boundaries and draws attention to unfolding colonial futures.
Coven of Celsus - Heather
The family to die for is back. In this highly anticipated second installment of the series, sinister forces overwhelm the coven as Celsus secures the final member needed to complete his wicked dynasty. But the master's secret desire for his exquisite sister Sophia infuriates the rebellious Heather, who remains unable to reconcile her love for the coven with her jealousy. Can the women of the coven save Heather from herself, or will an act of betrayal be their undoing? Meanwhile, a formidable new enemy by the name Werner Hilgenfeldt arises. He is a corpulent tyrant bent on subjugating Celsus and enslaving the world. Overconfident, overweight, and out of his pudgy depth, little does Hilgenfeldt suspect that attempting to unlock the master's DNA and seize the coven's beloved Sakura will open the door to his worst nightmare.In the City of Angels, Megan and Tara, their beauty matched only by their taste for revenge, cleanse the church of another cancer, while a storm brews for Linzie in the Pacific Northwest. In Coven of Celsus - Heather, our favorite cast of seductive characters plays host to a series of orgies that would make the Marquis de Sade proud.
The Ashgate Research Companion to Henry Purcell
The Ashgate Research Companion to Henry Purcell provides a comprehensive and authoritative review of current research into Purcell and the environment of Restoration music, with contributions from leading experts in the field. Seen from the perspective of modern, interdisciplinary approaches to scholarship, the companion allows the reader to develop a rounded view of the environment in which Purcell lived, the people with whom he worked, the social conditions that influenced his activities, and the ways in which the modern perception of him has been affected by reception of his music after his death. In this sense the contributions do not privilege the individual over the environment: rather...
British Music, Musicians and Institutions, C. 1630-1800
Building upon the developing picture of the importance of British music, musicians and institutions during the eighteenth century, this book investigates the themes of composition, performance (amateur and professional) and music-printing, within the wider context of social, religious and secular institutions. British music in the era from the death of Henry Purcell to the so-called 'Musical Renaissance' of the late nineteenth century was once considered barren. This view has been overturned in recent years through a better-informed historical perspective, able to recognise that all kinds of British musical institutions continued to flourish, and not only in London. The publication, performa...
Enlightened Oxford
Enlightened Oxford aims to discern, establish, and clarify the multiplicity of connections between the University of Oxford, its members, and the world outside; to offer readers a fresh, contextualised sense of the University's role in the state, in society, and in relation to other institutions between the Williamite Revolution and the first decade of the nineteenth century, the era loosely describable (though not without much qualification) as England's ancien regime. Nigel Aston asks where Oxford fitted in to the broader social and cultural picture of the time, locating the University's importance in Church and state, and pondering its place as an institution that upheld religious entitle...
