The Possible Estate
" ... if you wanted to live a proper life you had to live it as yourself, not act it as something else ... "A recurring motif in The Possible Estate is the question of identity. To the other ex-pats in the South Pacific island coffee plantation community, Harry is an 'oddball', a 'Steppenwolf', a man out of line with company demands for a higher yield from the Kanga plantation. But Harry is more than a plantation manager; he is of the islands, so the company's demands can only and inevitably head towards collision.With shades of Faulkner and Marquez, Ashton-Jones weaves a tale about the cycle of generations from the Victorian missionary Davidson through to his descendant - Harry himself.Other novels by Nick Ashton-Jones published by Austin Macauley include Books People Discard (2013) and Annu (2014). A fourth Novel, The Rest House is planned for 2016. http: //www.nickashtonjones.com
Early Humans (Collins New Naturalist Library, Book 134)
Our understanding of the British Palaeolithic and Mesolithic has changed dramatically over the last three decades, and yet not since H. J. Fleure’s A Natural History of Man in Britain (1951) has the New Naturalist Library included a volume focused on the study of early humans and their environment.
The Ancient Human Occupation of Britain
The Ancient Human Occupation of Britain Project (AHOB) funded by the Leverhulme Trust began in 2001 and brought together researchers from a range of disciplines with the aim of investigating the record of human presence in Britain from the earliest occupation until the end of the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago. Study of changes in climate, landscape and biota over the last million years provides the environmental backdrop to understanding human presence and absence together with the development of new technologies. This book brings together the multidisciplinary work of the project. The chapters present the results of new fieldwork and research on old sites from museum collections usin...
Wotsit and the Great 'Boy Scout' Conspiracy
Even saddled with the IQ of a loofah, the Drudge realises that his days are numbered. Anything which threatens the position of those arch-sycophants, the Hyenas, is anathema, and there can only be one response. Enraged, Margot The Leader of the Organisation, summons the Turnip, renowned International class Bully, for a quick 'kill.' Time is of the essence, for Margot's ambition is gripped by the Ultimate Prize, and she cannot afford slip-ups or loose ends.The Drudge and any sympathisers must go, which calls for work-place treachery par-excellence. The clock is ticking. So pull up a chair, as Margot, her future on the line, is driven to despair; and watch her plan begin to form. It is as we shall see however, the most desperate of intrigues, for only those completely devoid of honour and self-respect can be considered for this vilest of tasks. Where on earth was she possibly going to find those dregs of humanity, willing to expedite that foul and infamous plot, now known as the Great 'Boy Scout' Conspiracy?
Early Humans
Our understanding of the British Palaeolithic and Mesolithic has changed dramatically over the last three decades, and yet not since H. J. Fleure's A Natural History of Man in Britain (1951) has the New Naturalist Library included a volume focused on the study of early humans and their environment. In this long overdue new book, distinguished archaeologist Nick Ashton uncovers the most recent findings, following the remarkable survival and discovery of bones, stone tools and footprints which allow us to paint a picture of the first human visitors to this remote peninsula of north-west Europe. As part of the Ancient Human Occupation of Britain project and subsequent research, Ashton is involv...

Southern Exposure
What happens in Mexico stays in Mexico. Or does it? When twenty-eight-year-old restaurateur Nick Jensen and two friends fly from their hometown of Phoenix, to a small resort town in Mexico, they're expecting a few days of fun, sun, and sand - with some humanitarian house-building thrown in. After all, Nick had been to the same town once before, and had fallen in love with it. He had also fallen for a beautiful local named Gabriella, but she had quickly disappeared years earlier, shortly after she had appeared through an unlikely twist of fate. Once Nick and his pals land in Rocky Point, however, Nick's memories - good and bad - come crashing back like the Sea of Cortez surf. Those vivid memories of a summer trip almost seven years earlier - memories that had haunted him more than he had ever admitted to himself, and changed his life more than he ever could have imagined - confront him at every turn. As much as Nick pretends to his friends that it's all fun and games, when fate once more steps in, he learns this time, that what happens in Mexico "doesn't" stay in Mexico.
Green Backlash
The tide is turning against environmentalism as the political right, industry and governments fight back. Green Backlash is a controversial expose of the anti-environmental movement. Tracing the rise of the backlash from the Wise Use movement in the USA, the author reveals its rapid spread worldwide: the anti-roads movement in the UK, forestry debates in Canada and Australia, marine resource issues in Europe, South-East Asia, and controversies such as the Brent Spar. The backlash is set to get worse as the resource wars intensify. This book offers a greater understanding of the challenges and threats facing global environmentalism, concluding that the environmental movement now has a chance to re-evaluate and change for the better to beat the backlash - a chance that must not be missed.
