The Roses of Saint Elizabeth
In 'The Roses of Saint Elizabeth' by Jane Scott Woodruff, the reader is transported to a 17th-century monastery where the protagonist, Sister Margaret, embarks on a spiritual journey filled with love, betrayal, and redemption. Woodruff's prose is beautifully crafted, with vivid descriptions that immerse the reader in a world of religious devotion and conflicting desires. The novel is reminiscent of other historical fiction works, such as Hilary Mantel's 'Wolf Hall', but with a unique focus on female voices within the church. The exploration of faith, duty, and personal growth make this book a compelling read for those interested in literary fiction set in religious settings. Jane Scott Woodr...

Endocrine Disruption in Fish
The last half-century has shown a dramatic increase in the standard of living of millions of people in Europe, North America and many parts of the Third World. This has, in many ways been brought about by scientific and technical developments which were initiated in the 1940s and 1950s. Promises were then made that nuclear energy would provide electricity so cheap that it would not need metering, pesticides would end malnutrition throughout the world and plastics and other synthetic chemicals would revolutionise our manufacturing industry and our way of life. Whilst some of these promises have been fulfilled, the problems of long-term health risks to humans and wildlife arising from the use,...

Complex Art Conservation and Preservation Problems
In this book, for the first time, an examination of Egon Schiele’s general painting technique is carried out. The main case study for this comprehensive investigation is the painting “Stadtende/Häuserbogen III,” 1918, one of Egon Schiele’s last works, which is housed at Universalmuseum Joanneum, Graz, Austria. In this book, the conservation campaign is detailed: uncovering portrait sketches integrated and painted over in the painting, unmasking the signature as a forgery, and recognising the frame as the original decorative frame. The research in the years following the conservation is detailed: discussing that, among other pigments, cadmium sulphide was confirmed in the paint material, which will influence subsequent conservation measures for the painting. The book’s examination continues with the complex interactions between environment and object that were also addressed in recently completed EU projects, concluding that continuously gained knowledge about external influences and storage materials used will help to adapt further measures to the painting as it continues to degrade.
Lochnagar
The remote mountain loch of Lochnagar is one of the most studied freshwater bodies in Europe. This book brings together knowledge gained over two decades of multi-disciplinary scientific study, with the results of lake sediment research covering millennia, to show how the loch has developed both naturally and as a result of human impact. Particular emphasis is placed on how this fragile ecosystem, and others like it, may be affected by future climate change.
