Secrets, Lies and Betrayal: a short story collection
A collection of five short stories and a Novellete centered around the theme of Secrets, Lies, and Betrayal within the Horror and Thriller genres. In 'STALKED' Andrew Wood meets his favourite author but is pulled into a scheme by a crazy stalker who will stop at nothing to destroy the author's reputation. 'CONFESSIONS' sees two colleagues at a call-centre locked in their staff room while their survival hangs on confessing their truths to an unknown intruder. Follow two strangers, Tyrone McLaoch and Sherrie Hope, in the 'WASTELANDS' as they navigate through a world overrun by the Infected. While babysitting her younger brother Daisy Strong receives a 'HOUSE CALL' that will change her life forever. 'LEAST HAUNTED' is a first-person account from James Wilson and his experience in the infamous Harmony House while he searched for the truth to his question: Does the Supernatural exist? Working in retail isn't enjoyable for most people but for these nine colleagues working on the 'NIGHTSHIFT' they would rather the supermarket was infested with entitled customers than a Serial Killer out for revenge. By the end of the night, one thing is sure... no secret will be left unsaid.
The Sky Is for Everyone
An inspiring anthology of writings by trailblazing women astronomers from around the globe The Sky Is for Everyone is an internationally diverse collection of autobiographical essays by women who broke down barriers and changed the face of modern astronomy. Virginia Trimble and David Weintraub vividly describe how, before 1900, a woman who wanted to study the stars had to have a father, brother, or husband to provide entry, and how the considerable intellectual skills of women astronomers were still not enough to enable them to pry open doors of opportunity for much of the twentieth century. After decades of difficult struggles, women are closer to equality in astronomy than ever before. Tri...
Freedom Burning
After Britain abolished slavery throughout most of its empire in 1834, Victorians adopted a creed of "anti-slavery" as a vital part of their national identity and sense of moral superiority to other civilizations. The British government used diplomacy, pressure, and violence to suppress the slave trade, while the Royal Navy enforced abolition worldwide and an anxious public debated the true responsibilities of an anti-slavery nation. This crusade was far from altruistic or compassionate, but Richard Huzzey argues that it forged national debates and political culture long after the famous abolitionist campaigns of William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson had faded into memory. These anti-slave...
Hidden in Plain Sight
"A long-overdue study of the depiction of slavery in nineteenth-century American art and visual culture, Hidden in Plain Sight investigates the relationship between proslavery politics and the visual record. By examining a vast array of Civil War-era artworks that champion the institution of enslavement and connecting them with the abolitionist materials to which they respond, Rachel Stephens traces themes of concealment and silence through paintings, photographs, and ephemera and explores how the visual canon of high art was used to cover up, control, and reshape the discourse surrounding the United States' most odious institution"--
Jupiter Odyssey
Focusing on the Galileo Mission, the story will relate this remarkable spacecraft's protracted gestation and the ordeal of its long haul out to Jupiter and its ultimate triumph: 5 years exploration within the Jovian system. The story spans a full quarter of a century, drawing on the press conferences, technical papers and essays of engineers and scientists involved in the mission which provide a real sense of participation as the discoveries poured in - it will bring the mission of the Galileo spacecraft to life and provide a more engaging account than would simply be achieved by recounting scientific results. The book will conclude with a snapshot "look ahead" into the Cassini flyby of Jupiter in December 2000 shortly after publication - the book released to coincide with this media event.
