Brenda Hill grows up in a small town in the Adirondack Mountains called Cook's Landing. In high school, she falls for local boy Joshua Smith. Together, they make big plans to move to New York City where Brenda will attend fashion design school and Joshua will write music. However, plans change when Joshua disappears after graduation and ends up dead. His body is found floating in Cook's Point Bay. Although there's evidence of a blow to the head, there are no suspects, and Joshua's death-although partially blamed on Brenda-is suspiciously forgotten. In 1984, Brenda leaves Cook's Landing and never looks back-until now. Years later, Brenda is haunted by Joshua's death and decides it is finally time for justice, no matter the cost. Brenda's investigation begins, looking into Joshua's family and everyone else who knew him well. What she finds could turn the small town of Cook's Landing upside down. Will Brenda have the courage and determination to reveal the whole truth of what happened that summer in 1984, and if she does, will she, too, be silenced like her beloved Joshua?
Something has awakened in the ruins of Munley Priory...England, 1742. In a windswept corner of the North York Moors, the villagers of Munley are dying under mysterious circumstances. Rumour and hearsay are rife, with many blaming the vengeful spirit of a mad monk said to haunt the ruins of a nearby monastery. Dr William Marlowe, Oxford-educated and a firm believer in Science over Superstition, is determined to prove them wrong. Assisted by the ageing Earl of Munley, patriarch of a failing dynasty, and the gallant Mr Whittaker, suitor to the Earl's beautiful daughter Anne, the young physician attempts to uncover the secret of Munley Priory. Yet the skeletons he unearths threaten to shake the very foundations of his rational world.'They are calling this century "The Enlightenment". When Science and Logic tear down the superstition and mysticism we have clung to for so many centuries. A new dawn after millennia of grovelling in the dark, terrified of shadows and bumps in the night. But it is a false dawn. It seems that the cold light of day, which promised to banish the monsters our ancestors feared, has only drawn them in stark relief.''Munley Priory: A Gothic Story' is a fast-paced and darkly humorous supernatural thriller by New Zealand author D M Smith. A tale of murder, madness, family secrets and forbidden passion, set amid a bleak Northern English landscape, that is sure to delight lovers of traditional Gothic fiction.
In Classical times, the story of the Trojan War was told in a series of eight epic poems known as the Epic Cycle, of which only the Iliad and Odyssey by Homer survive to the present day. The first poem in the sequence was the Cypria, which described the early years of the war from Eris' casting of the golden apple at the wedding of Peleus and Thetis, to Paris' abduction of Helen, the sacrifice of Iphigenia, Odysseus' treacherous murder of Palamedes, and finally, the enslavement of Briseis and Chryseis, which sowed the seeds of the conflict between Achilles and Agamemnon in the Iliad. The Cypria is now lost, but the myths it once contained are known from a number of later writings. In an ambitious exercise in literary back-breeding, editor D. M. Smith attempts to reconstruct the lost prequel to Homer's Iliad from the available material. Included are excerpts from Ovid's Metamorphoses, Apollodorus' Bibliotheca, Euripides' Iphigenia at Aulis and Colluthus' The Rape of Helen, as well as lesser known documents such as Dictys Cretensis Ephemeris Belli Trojani, and the Excidium Troiae - a medieval summary of a lost Roman account of the Trojan War, discovered among the papers of an 18th century clergyman in the 1930s. This eclectic melange of Greek and Latin texts has been carefully edited and arranged in accordance with the known chronology of the Cypria, thus allowing readers to trace the story of this vanished epic as a continuous narrative for the first time in over a thousand yea

Laparoscopy has allowed surgeons to perform major surgical procedures through small incisions. The introduction of laparoscopy has revolutionized the field of minimally invasive surgery. Urologic Robotic Surgery presents accepted robotic applications to treat common urological problems. Accomplished authors demonstrate their expertise in basic instrumentation and techniques, potential applications and contraindications, with attention to patient positioning and trocar placement. Despite the increasing popularity of this technology, there remains a dearth of literature available to surgeons and patients. Urologic Robotic Surgery reveals the critical steps for each procedure, reviews robotic suturing, complications, training and credentialing.

The Hanford Site, in south-eastern Washington State, is a former nuclear defence production facility. A groundwater plume containing uranium, originating from a combination of purposeful discharges of wastewater to cribs, trenches, and ponds, along with some accidental leaks and spills with nuclear fuel fabrication activities, has persisted beneath the Hanford Site 300 Area for many years. The uranium plume is just upstream of the city of Richland municipal water supply intake on the Columbia River. Despite the cessation of uranium releases and the removal of shallow vadose zone source materials, the remedial action objective to lower the concentration of groundwater uranium to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) maximum contaminant level (MCL) concentration of 30 ?g/L has not been achieved within the anticipated 10-year time period. Despite several decades of studies, effective uranium cleanup strategies remain elusive for contamination in deep subsurface settings that prevail at a number of U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) sites in the western United States. Numerous strategies have been proposed including iron barriers, soluble reductive agents, microbial stabilisation via reduction and precipitation, and emplacement of solid phosphate barriers. While these all have merit, each encounters limitations for deep subsurface remediation in an oxidative environment (Peterson et al. 2005; Wellman et al. 2005b; Wellman et al. 2006c; McGrail and Mattigod 1999; DOE 2005a; DOE. 2005b). Polyphosphate technology has been demonstrated to delay the precipitation of phosphate phases for controlled in situ formation of stabile phosphate phases which control the long-term fate of uranium (Wellman et al. 2005b; Wellman et al. 2006c). Precipitation of phosphate minerals occurs when phosphate compounds degrade in water to yield the orthophosphate molecule (PO43 ). Accordingly, a detailed understanding of polyphosphate degradation and reaction kinetics, in the context of site-specific information, allows the technology to be tailored as a time-released source of phosphate for direct subsurface treatment without a drastic change in hydraulic conductivity of the target aquifer. A site-specific treatability test was conducted to optimise polyphosphate remediation technology for implementation through a pilot-scale field technology demonstration to accelerate monitored natural attenuation of the uranium plume within the Hanford 300 Area aquifer. A focused application of polyphosphate was conducted in a source or "hot spot" area to reduce the inventory of available uranium that contributes to the groundwater plume through direct precipitation of uranyl-phosphate solids and secondary containment via precipitation of apatite acting as a long-term sorbent for uranium. The general treatability testing approach consisted of initial site characterisation and set-up, a polyphosphate injection test, and post-treatment performance assessment. Fundamental science studies were conducted with site- specific sediment and groundwater to develop an effective remediation scheme for deployment of polyphosphate technology. In addition to remediating a portion of the plume, the data from this test provide valuable information for designing a full-scale remediation of uranium in the aquifer at the 300 Area of the Hanford Site. Results provide a detailed understanding of the fundamental underpinnings necessary to evaluate the efficacy and potential use of polyphosphate technology at other sites with varying geochemical and hydrodynamic conditions.
