Sara of Sumatra the Virgin Slave Girl of Cannibal Island
Talk about having a bad day. I'm kidnapped by rebels and sold to cannibals, for their full moon virgin sacrifice. Heading towards this dismal prospect, I discover my capture is no accident. These cannibals selected me, due to an incident ten years earlier, when my mother was brutally murdered. To save myself and others from the roasting grotto and butcher's block, I must solve this mystery.
Children’s Voices from the Past
This book explores a central methodological issue at the heart of studies of the histories of children and childhood. It questions how we understand the perspectives of children in the past, and not just those of the adults who often defined and constrained the parameters of youthful lives. Drawing on a range of different sources, including institutional records, interviews, artwork, diaries, letters, memoirs, and objects, this interdisciplinary volume uncovers the voices of historical children, and discusses the challenges of situating these voices, and interpreting juvenile agency and desire. Divided into four sections, the book considers children's voices in different types of historical records, examining children's letters and correspondence, as well as multimedia texts such as film, advertising and art, along with oral histories, and institutional archives.
Dead in Time
When successful London psychiatrist Sara Jones's relationship breaks down, she returns to the remote part of Wales she grew up in, keen to clear her head and start afresh. Soon, though, her former boyfriend, Metropolitan Police detective Jamie Harding, is back in her life - investigating a series of murders with links to the occult. Sara is drawn into assisting the investigation - much to the chagrin of her childhood friend, Ceri Lloyd, the detective in charge. As more bodies are found, a series of clues makes Sara realise that the killer believes they have psychic powers. Soon, the killer confronts Sara and offers a shocking explanation for their crimes - one that could have a massive impact on her life and, crucially, allow her to come to terms with the tragedy that haunts her past...but at what price? A sharp, clever thriller with a paranormal twist, Dead in Time is the first novel featuring Sara Jones by up-and-coming crime writer Terence Bailey.
Care Loops and Mobilities in Nordic, Central, and Eastern European Welfare States
This edited volume discusses and analyses the impact of neoliberal policies and ideologies on public and private care practices in Nordic, Central, and East European welfare states. Through new conceptualizations of care practices, chapters take the reader directly into the homes, workplaces, and everyday life of urban and rural residents throughout Europe. The book argues that common neoliberal responses to care crises are not about revaluing care but rather a normalization of precarious work as expressed in moving care from public institutions to families within private homes. Featuring contributions from eight countries, chapters contribute to research on gender, care, migration, and welfare policies by discussing how recent developments in global capitalism and neoliberal policies influence welfare policies and care arrangements in post-egalitarian and post-socialist societies in Europe.
Good Girls, Bad Girls
The few popular Bible stories about women are often presented in black and white—the women were good or bad, Ruth or Jezebel. But most of us fall somewhere in between these two extremes. Good Girls, Bad Girls invites readers to take a more nuanced look at 12 women in the Old Testament, to explore their lives more deeply in historical context, and to grasp what these stories might mean to women today. T. J. Wray, a biblical scholar, asks readers to consider whether Jezebel was really as bad as generally believed, and includes women ranging from the infamous Delilah to the mysterious Witch of Endor. Impeccably researched and beautifully written, Good Girls, Bad Girls will appeal to both individual readers and groups interested in learning what the Bible really has to say about these twelve important women.

Julestrid i bonusfamiljen
Sara är nu en självständig karriärkvinna, fast besluten om att inte bli sårad igen, och Altea är den outtröttliga fredsmäklaren som eftersträvar harmoni till varje pris. De gläds åt byråns framgångar, och klienter strömmar till för att få hjälp att skapa en jul utan konflikter trots separationer och nya familjekonstellationer. Men Saras och Alteas alltmer invecklade privatliv sätter lojaliteten till varandra och byråns framtid på prov. Sara tar över rodret medan Altea fokuserar på nya sambolivet och planeringen av den gemensamma julen. Att barnen alltid har högsta prioritet i en separation är en av byråns grundprinciper. Dock är det en sak att ge råd till andra, och en annan att själva leva upp till det. När allt ställs på sin spets under en kaotisk julmiddag ifrågasätter Sara och Altea sina prioriteringar för att omfamna det som betyder mest, familjen och vänskapen. Med humor, hjärta och en påminnelse om julens budskap tar denna historia med oss på en resa där karaktärerna på olika sätt navigerar i bonusfamiljens snåriga djungel
