An anthology comprising an eclectic and diverting selection of flash fiction and poetry from authors across the globe, with a range of genres, including but not limited to drama, horror, historical, sci-fi, fantasy, romance, suspense, fairy tale and comedy.Set in worlds both familiar and strange, the narratives will in turn amuse, sadden, enchant, horrify, intrigue and empower. Walk the streets of Akihabara, blaze on the merciless cliffs of Edsea, dance at the end of the rain, and soar through space on the back of a whale. Meet the tree that survives the harvest, the dendroid that escapes the lab, and the dryad rebirthed by lightning. Dance in an extraterrestrial language, pirouette under the passioante influence of kitchen magic, or dart through fields with the faeries. Get all the sun you want with your extra sweet bikini coffee-or grab a flask of bittersweet hot chocolate and watch the world end. Laugh at the misplaced effort of carpet enthusiasts and the injustice of a misallocated blue ribbon at the county fair. Mourn lost love, lost time, and lost opportunity, and pale in the face of hidden snakeheads and the raw entreaties of the trapped. Question your morals and sanity then sink Kafta and Keurig into your coffee and rest in the tree fort where no ruminating is allowed. Trains will introduce you to misery and mercy, and teddies will steal cookies and share eyes, and you will fall in love with an Ophelia who owns five KFC franchises, the beauty of the sunrise over Lake Quinault, and a girl with a mouth full of marbles.Authors include: Alexis Araneta, Anna Sharples, Anne-Marie Kofoed, April Pereira, Beth Connor, Chris Morris, Cindy Strube, Claire Lindsey, C.P. Misola, Cristina Rose Strube, Daniel R. Hayes, David McCahan, Deidra Whitt Lovegren, Del Griffith, Eamon Somers, Hannah P. Simmons, James Lynch, J.I. Mumford, Jon Casper, Kay Northbridge, K. L.

Den legendariske Jane Marple tilbake!

A brand new omnibus of 55 short stories, presented for the first time in chronological order. Described by her friend Dolly Bantry as ' the typical old maid of fiction', Miss Marple has lived almost her entire life in the sleepy hamlet of St Mary Mead. Yet, by observing village life she has gained an unparalleled insight into human nature - and used it to devasting effect. As her friend Sir Henry Clithering, the ex-Commissioner of Scotland Yard has been heard to say: 'She's just the finest detective God ever made.' - and many Agatha Christie fans would agree. Appearing for the first time in The Murder at The Vicarage (1930) her crime-fighting career spanned over forty years when she solved her final case in 1977 in Sleeping Murder. With every tale flawlessly plotted by the Queen of Crime herself, these short stories provide a feast for hardened Agatha Christie addicts as well as those who have grown to love the detective through her many film and television appearances. Here, for the first time, more than 50 of Agatha Christie's mini masterpieces have been collected together in one volume, perfectly illustrating the true breadth of her talent. As well as every story featuring Miss Marple, the book includes additional stand-alone tales, from macabre tales of the supernatural, through suspense-ridden mysteries, to heart-stopping cases of murder.
Nine intriguing tales One unequalled storyteller An unknown wounded man in a church. A fatal riding accident. A corpse and a tape measure. Whether in St Mary Mead or further afield, there is always much wickedness lurking below the surface, should, like Jane Marple, you have the eyes to see it.

Never underestimate Miss Marple 'She gives us an insight into human nature that few, if any, have surpassed.'Susan Lewis 'The acknowledged queen of detective fiction.' Observer

Eighteen classic short stories that form a luminous chronicle of the life and times of one marriage in all its rich emotional complexity--from one of the most gifted American writers of the twentieth century and the author of the acclaimed Rabbit series. In 1956, Updike published a story, "Snowing in Greenwich Village," about a young couple, Joan and Richard Maple, at the beginning of their marriage. Over the next two decades, he returned to these characters again and again, tracing their years together raising children, finding moments of intermittent happiness, and facing the heartbreak of infidelity and estrangement. Seventeen Maples stories were collected in 1979 in a paperback edition titled Too Far to Go, prompted by a television adaptation. Now those stories appear in hardcover for the first time, with the addition of a later story, "Grandparenting," which returns us to the Maples's lives long after their wrenching divorce.
Certain small solid particles are surface-active at fluid interfaces and thus are able to stabilize materials previously considered impossible to stabilize in their absence. Liquid marbles, particle-coated non-sticking liquid droplets, represent one of these materials. Preparation of liquid marbles was described only about 15 years ago and they are now widely studied by many research groups and numerous applications of liquid marbles have been advanced. The book is written for postgraduates and researchers working on the area who are training to become chemists, soft matter physicists, materials scientists, and engineers.

In Ancient Marbles to American Shores, Stephen L. Dyson uncovers the history of classical archaeology in the United States by exploring the people and programs that gave birth to archaeology as a discipline in this country. He puts aside the common formula of chronicling great digs, great discoveries, and great men in favor of a cultural, ideological, and institutional history of the subject. The book explores the ways American contact with the monuments of Greece and Rome affected the national consciousness. It discusses how the spread of classical style laid the groundwork for the development of the discipline after the Civil War and examines the period before World War I, when most of the institutions that led to the establishment of the discipline, as well as the first generation of American classical archaeologists, were created. It looks at the role classical archaeology played in the development of the American art museum since the later nineteenth century and considers changes in American classical archaeology from World War II to the mid-1970s. Filling the void of information on the history of classical archaeology in the United States, this lively book is a valuable contribution to literature on a subject which is enjoying ever-increasing interest and attention.
