It is over ten years since the manipulative Sheila Malone tolerated having all her family home in Dublin to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of her second youngest daughter. Yet a further ten years will elapse before they will be together again for another family occasion. During those years three more of her ten children marry and two of her daughters divorce their husbands.As Sheila's children mature, their lives and relationships evolve and flourish, and they cease to be afraid of their mother. On occasion, they even manipulate her. In her usual self-centred and selfish way, Sheila continues to enjoy life with her friends. When one of her friends dies, she embraces two new ones.New on the scene, Charlie dislikes her but becomes very friendly with her children, and very fond of them, as they do of him.Martha Marie takes the reader into the adult lives of ten siblings, an environment she knows well from her own childhood. She explores their relationships with humour and sympathy, and her affection for her native city, Dublin, comes through in all she writes.

Brick Architecture Craft in Nineteenth-Century South India
This book explores brick architecture of the nineteenth century in South India, through the lens of tectonics and materiality. The book is a diachronically elaborated history of brick architecture, especially analysing the hybridity due to the indigenous and colonial intersections of nineteenth-century India. It offers a decolonial reading of architecture through meticulous measured drawings as a tool and presents an argument for reading buildings as archives.South India has thousands of dilapidated buildings, which may be erased due to neglect, laxed laws and ignorance. The book exposes the tectonics, fixing, material choices, socio-political circumstances of this architecture in brick. This method of analysing the dilapidated buildings as an archive of construction, forefronts the ‘makers’ and the agency of the local craftspeople rather than an Anglo-centric gaze. Brick buildings such as the extravagantly ornamental and structurally rich Chatrams of Thanjavur, Rosary Church, Hassan and Fort School, Bengaluru, are some of the many cases elaborated in the book. The book connects the history of brick to its many contemporary challenges and manifestations.The book is intended for students and scholars of architecture, history, material-culture, colonial studies and the Global South as well as anyone interested in brick as material for architecture.

An architect and architectural theorist, George Edmund Street (1824–81) was one of the key proponents of the 'High Victorian' Gothic style in nineteenth-century Britain. He is best known as the mind behind London's Royal Courts of Justice. Elected an associate of the Royal Academy in 1866, Street became its professor of architecture in 1880. In 1874 he received the gold medal of the Royal Institute of British Architects after John Ruskin declined it, and he served as the Institute's president in 1881. Street's Gothic architecture was influenced by continental examples: this book, first published in 1855, serves as an important source for interpreting his output. It is copiously illustrated, arranged as a travelogue of mostly pointed-arch architecture seen in Italy, and covers exterior and interior elevations, sculptural details, metalwork and furniture.

Marius Grey hunts monsters. He's not supposed to. He's only twelve and his job as a cemetery boy is to look after the ghosts in his family's graveyard. He should be tending these ghosts and - of course - going to school to learn how to live between worlds without getting into trouble. But, Marius has an expensive goal. He wants to bring his mother back from the dead, and that takes a LOT of mystic coins, which means a LOT of monster hunting, and time is running out. If he wants her back, Marius is going to have to go after bigger and meaner monsters, decide if a certain flesh-eating mermaid is a friend or foe, and avoid meddling demons and teachers along the way. Can Marius navigate New Orleans's gritty monster bounty-hunting market, or will he have to say goodbye to his mother forever?
