The Seeing Stone
Medieval life meets Arthurian magic in a novel that transcends boundaries of time and age, appealing to children of 9+ and older readers alike. The winner of the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize and the Smarties Prize bronze award in 2001, this timeless novel is stunningly reissued for a new generation. The year is 1199, the place the Welsh Marches. Young Arthur de Caldicot is given a magical shining stone in which his legendary namesake is revealed. In 100 short chapters that brilliantly evoke life in a medieval manor, stories of the boy King Arthur begin to echo - and anticipate - the secrets and mysteries that emerge in his own life . . . "As bright and as vivid as the pictures in a Book of Hours. Deep scholarship, high imagination, and great gifts of storytelling have gone into this; I was spellbound." - Philip Pullman, The Guardian

The Lies of Heaven
Heaven for many, has long been believed to be the place where those who have lived a good and righteous life reside after they depart from the world of the living.

The horrific events he was subjected to in this place, made life for him a living Hell. From bullying and abuse to ultimate victory, you will cry and laugh as Kevin walks you through his life in a place where none of what happened to him should have existed. Go with him as he exposes the ugly truth about a place called Heaven in this riveting true story of his journey from victim to victor. Here is a story of pain, abuse, suffering and the journey to healing. Here is a story of hope for others.

Stones
A book of loss, looking back, and what binds us to life, by a towering poetic talent, called "one of the poetry stars of his generation" (Los Angeles Times). "We sleep long, / if not sound," Kevin Young writes early on in this exquisite gathering of poems, "Till the end/ we sing / into the wind." In scenes and settings that circle family and the generations in the American South--one poem, "Kith," exploring that strange bedfellow of "kin"--the speaker and his young son wander among the stones of their ancestors. "Like heat he seeks them, / my son, thirsting / to learn those / he don't know / are his dead." Whether it's the fireflies of a Louisiana summer caught in a mason jar (doomed by their collection), or his grandmother, Mama Annie, who latches the screen door when someone steps out for just a moment, all that makes up our flickering precarious joy, all that we want to protect, is lifted into the light in this moving book. Stones becomes an ode to Young's home places and his dear departed, and to what of them—of us—poetry can save.

Weak Rock Engineering Geology and Geotechnics
There is a significant body of published material to be found in various sources but little accessible material which presents an overview of the engineering behaviour of soft rock and which sets out practical geotechnical design procedures. This book serves as a ‘handbook’ for the practising civil engineer or engineering geologist and focuses on conventional geotechnical problems such as foundation design (spread footings and piles), retaining structures, and natural and engineered slopes; and will also suit MSc level students.
