An illustrated account of Oxfordshire's geology.
A witty and thought-provoking collection of visual poems constructed from stacks of books. Delighting in the look and feel of books, conceptual artist Nina Katchadourian’s playful photographic series proves that books’ covers—or more specifically, their spines—can speak volumes. Over the past two decades, Katchadourian has perused libraries across the globe, selecting, stacking, and photographing groupings of two, three, four, or five books so that their titles can be read as sentences, creating whimsical narratives from the text found there. Thought-provoking, clever, and at times laugh-out-loud funny (one cluster of titles from the Akron Museum of Art’s research library consists ...
Getting Away Was Supposed to Fix Everything. Divorce might have thrown Morgan’s life into a tailspin, but at least she had a plan for recovery. Going on a girls’ trip—as far away as possible—was supposed to be just the thing to pull her out of her funk and get things back on track. But when tragedy strikes before she even makes it home from the safari, Morgan finds herself unable to return to the broken life she knew before. Instead, she stays put and takes a safe, unassuming job as one man’s housekeeper—Owen, an intriguing game warden with a sticky problem of his own. Caught up in dangerous forces they don’t understand, Morgan and Owen work together to unravel what—or who—...
Emmett Beckmeyer had always been what most people would call stable. He came to work every day at his family’s resort, did his job, had just the right amount of fun, and gave good advice. That all changed after a small fire in the newly added spa where his sister and the electrician were trapped. Since that moment, nothing has been the same. Maybe it was the fire telling him life was short or maybe it was the gorgeous, sexy electrician, Morgan, who he couldn’t stop thinking of. He wanted her badly but knew from past experience that women weren’t looking for long-term when it came to him. Something that had held him back long enough. Morgan’s life was a mess. She’d moved to the small Wisconsin town of Lyden to meet her real dad and from there, her life had been twisted every which way but up. After the fire, she was having a hard time sleeping and dealing with all that was on her plate. The very last thing she needed was to be having dreams about Emmett Beckmeyer, the man who saved her from the fire. He despised her, or at least that’s what she thought. Until a party at his parent’s house where that all changed.

A young woman’s murder leads a British detective deep into the shadows of a wealthy family’s secret past—where a killer lies in wait. It would be the height of British understatement to say that retired surgeon Charles Bromley and his step-daughter Antonia Halliday do not have the rosiest of relationships. After all, Antonia did accuse him of intentionally botching her father’s surgery so that he could marry her rich, widowed mother. Now Antonia has been found murdered on the grounds of Bromley Manor, and Charles isn’t exactly stricken with grief. He’s plenty upset, however, by the disruptions caused by DCI Neil Paget and his team as they investigate the crime. While Bromley complains to Paget’s superiors, Paget forges on with the investigation, doggedly uncovering a nest of nasty family secrets. Though he is warned to tread lightly, nothing will stop him from getting to the bottom of this perplexing case before the killer decides to tie up loose ends.
