The Boy Who Disappeared
I opened my mouth and it came. It wasn't a cry, or even a sob. It came from deep in my soul... It was the sound of a mother helpless to save her child from danger. I asked the same unanswered questions over and again. Where was he? Where was my Damien? On 2 November 1996, sixteen-year-old Damien Nettles went out for the evening in his home town of Cowes on the Isle of Wight. CCTV recorded him in a chip shop at 23:40 and on the High Street just after midnight. He has never been seen since. His mother, Valerie, has spent over two decades desperately trying to find out what happened to her son. Arrests have been made, and suspects released without charge. Despite years of research by journalists and a private investigator, Damien's vanishing remains a mystery. In this hugely moving and compelling account, Valerie Nettles tells the full, perplexing story of her son's disappearance. Someone must know what happened to Damien. Will the truth ever emerge from the shadows?

Flora Hibernica
Combining the latest information from modern and ancient Irish botanical studies, Flora Hibernica describes the very special landscape and plant combinations of this damp and diverse island. The book begins with an introductory overview, it then describes, chapter by chapter, the plants associated with the specific habitats of Ireland such as the seashore, woodlands, boglands, etc. Each chapter is profusely illustrated in colour. Regional variations within habitat zones are included, with particular attention to plants unique to each habitat. The particular combinations of light, water and nutrients used are also described. Current external influences such as agricultural practices, land use and discase also play a role and this is examined. One chapter, 'Weeds and Aliens', describes plants which are not part of a clearly defined system of vegetation such as woodland or bog. These plants are the result of human activities, growing in places as contrasting as motorway embankments, old cultivated fields and commercial forests. Examples are dandelion and rhododendron. Finally, conservation issues are considered.
