THE ARCTIC TRADITION
Susan Collis & her colleague Jess Turner are employed by the Ministry of Defence in London. They are sent to Sweden ostensibly to advise on the training of female recruits. Due to the duplicity of MI6 they are not warned that the training camp where they are to be based appears to be a source of illegal arms for terrorists. However they receive a warning of the dangers that they face, from an anonymous source in Sweden. The information they receive not only saves their lives but enables them to close the source of the illegal arms. How the arms were getting from Sweden to the terrorists proves to be a much more intractable problem; which they solve but only with the aid of the combined efforts of GCHQ and MI5. The disappearance of their anonymous source leads them back to Sweden and unexpectedly back into the criminal organization that was involved in the illegal weapons trade. The matter is resolved by their locating the mysterious source which then provides an unexpected bonus for British Intelligence.

Centring the Periphery: New Perspectives on Collecting East Asian Objects
Centring the Periphery: New Perspectives on Collecting East Asian Objects, edited by Nataša Vampelj Suhadolnik, explores East Asian collections in "peripheral" areas of Europe and North America and their relationship with the East Asian collections in former imperial and colonial centres. The authors not only present the stories of a number of less well-known individual objects and collections, but also discuss the evolution of fashions and tastes in East Asian objects in areas that were not centres of European colonial power, and the socioeconomic conditions in which they were collected.

Nightwood Theatre
Nightwood Theatre is the longest-running and most influential feminist theatre company in Canada. Since 1979, the company has produced works by Canadian women, providing new opportunities for women theatre artists. It has also been the "home company" for some of the biggest names in Canadian theatre, such as Ann-Marie MacDonald. In Nightwood Theatre, Scott describes the company?s journey toward defining itself as a feminist theatre establishment, highlighting its artistic leadership based on its relevance to diverse communities of women. She also traces Nightwood?s relationship with the media and places the theatre in an international context by comparing its history to that of like companies in the U.K. and the U.S
Canons
At dawn on a July morning, the body of a Roman Catholic priest, Duncan Aster, is found in the shallows of a lake in Cumbria, UK. His final email refers enigmatically to a woman called Susan and an Anglican priest from Ontario. The priest, Andrew Moore, turns out to be Aster’s last known contact. He won’t assist the police inquiry nor will he speak about the matter with his bishop. As the battleground between Bishop Azikiwe and Reverend Moore develops, Cumbria Police decide to send an officer to Canada to observe a disciplinary hearing held in Hamilton, Ontario; a court of canon law. Sergeant Harriet Calder hopes to find out the reason for Aster’s death.
Getting Through
Understanding how culture affects the ways we communicate—how we tell jokes, greet, ask questions, hedge, apologize, compliment, and so much more. We can learn to speak other languages, but do we truly understand what we are saying? How much detail should we offer when someone asks how we are? How close should we stand to our conversational partners? Is an invitation genuine or just pro forma? So much of communication depends on culture and context. In Getting Through, Roger Kreuz and Richard Roberts offer a guide to understanding and being understood in different cultures. Drawing on research from psychology, linguistics, sociology, and other fields, as well as personal experience, anecdo...
