The Road to Hastings
In AD 1066, Duke William II of Normandy, later known as William the Conqueror, won a decisive victory at the Battle of Hastings, but the complex drama that engendered that battle began years earlier, with the marriage of Aethelred the Unready to Emma of Normandy, and culminated at the death of Edward the Confessor.
Nest of Spies
Under the hot, mid-July sun, two men meet secretly at the sacred rock of the Acropolis in Athens. One of the men is Stephen Fletcher, alias Stefan Fettos, a British spy, the other is Colonel Spencer, Director of British Intelligence for the Balkans. At the meeting Fletcher learns that certain diplomatic moves, initiated by the British Government to bring about a settlement of the dispute between Greece and Turkey, are in danger of being sabotaged.
A Mathematical Bridge
Although higher mathematics is beautiful, natural and interconnected, to the uninitiated it can feel like an arbitrary mass of disconnected technical definitions, symbols, theorems and methods. An intellectual gulf needs to be crossed before a true, deep appreciation of mathematics can develop. This book bridges this mathematical gap. It focuses on the process of discovery as much as the content, leading the reader to a clear, intuitive understanding of how and why mathematics exists in the way it does. The narrative does not evolve along traditional subject lines: each topic develops from its simplest, intuitive starting point; complexity develops naturally via questions and extensions. Throughout, the book includes levels of explanation, discussion and passion rarely seen in traditional textbooks. The choice of material is similarly rich, ranging from number theory and the nature of mathematical thought to quantum mechanics and the history of mathematics. It rounds off with a selection of thought-provoking and stimulating exercises for the reader.

Barbary Slave
Captured by Tripoli's Barbary pirates, Stephen Fletcher was first enslaved, then assigned to guard the Pasha's harem. Surrounded by sultry, sloe-eyed beauties whom he dared not touch under pain of torture, Fletcher lived only to escape -- until he met lovely Eve Doremus. An American like himself, Eve had been bought by Marlani, the Pasha’s favorite, to bedevil Fletcher for rejecting her advances. Together, Fletcher and Eve fought their way through every temptation and indignity in their frantic bid for survival.
Connecting People to Their Oceans: Issues and Options for Effective Ocean Literacy
While there is growing evidence of the importance of marine ecosystems for our societies, evidence shows also that pressures from human activities on these ecosystems are increasing, putting the health of marine ecosystems at stake worldwide. Hence, Blue Economy is becoming an important component of future socio-economic development strategies (e.g. this is called Blue Growth in Europe), that eventually can result in increasing pressures at sea, and despite the current regulatory framework (in particular with the Oceans Act, in USA or Canada, and the Marine Strategy Framework Directive, in Europe), it is likely that this situation will continue in the future. Ensuring all those connected to ...
