Caithness, October 1871. The Ordnance Survey are charting Scotland's most remote north-easterly county, a bleak landscape of endless moorland and lonely crofts. When a strange vision leads cartographer Robert Sutherland out onto the moor one night, an accident leaves him inches from death. He is taken to Leask House, to recuperate under the care of Mrs Sinclair and her beautiful daughter Isabel. At first, Robert thinks the dreadful visions that plague him at Leask House are the result of the laudanum he has been prescribed. But as events take ever stranger and more terrifying turns, Robert begins to wonder whether his presence at Leask House is really a coincidence at all. Someone - or something - has summoned him here. And they don't intend for him to leave.

Do scientists see conflict between science and faith? Which cultural factors shape the attitudes of scientists toward religion? Can scientists help show us a way to build collaboration between scientific and religious communities, if such collaborations are even possible? To answer these questions and more, the authors of Secularity and Science: What Scientists Around the World Really Think About Religion completed the most comprehensive international study of scientists' attitudes toward religion ever undertaken, surveying more than 20,000 scientists and conducting in-depth interviews with over 600 of them. From this wealth of data, the authors extract the real story of the relationship between science and religion in the lives of scientists around the world. The book makes four key claims: there are more religious scientists than we might think; religion and science overlap in scientific work; scientists - even atheist scientists - see spirituality in science; and finally, the idea that religion and science must conflict is primarily an invention of the West. Throughout, the book couples nationally representative survey data with captivating stories of individual scientists, whose experiences highlight these important themes in the data. Secularity and Science leaves inaccurate assumptions about science and religion behind, offering a new, more nuanced understanding of how science and religion interact and how they can be integrated for the common good.
Taken. Forced to compete.Sworn to secrecy about who she really is Hadassah tries to win the king's heart through the kingdom's most scandalous pageant ever.
May 24, 2022 It was an ordinary Spring day in America. The sun was shining. Birds were singing. People were busy with their plans for the day.Students and staff at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas celebrated the day with an awards and promotion program. The next day was the last day of school. Everyone was excited about the summer break ahead. Nadine Thompson was busy at home doing her Spring cleaning. Only her bedroom was left to clean. She planned to sit down on her sofa and watch her favorite TV programs when she finished her work. Thus begins The Day Nadine Thompson Sat Down. It was a day filled with terror and death. It was a day of sorrow and heartbreak. It was the day Nadine examined her soul and conscience and decided she had to stand up against gun violence in America. This book is formatted in the style of a children's picture book. 32 pages, 8.5 inches by 8.5 inches. Heavy on pictures, light on text. The pictures are meant to catch your attention and lead you to the story of the devastation of murders committed by people using AR-15 style rifles. The words of the politicians here are quotes from their own press conferences, interviews with news outlets, their own social media feeds, and their press releases. Ordinary people doing ordinary things on any ordinary day...and yet they are massacred by a single person using a single weapon of war.Acknowledgments: The pictures used here are stock photos from canva.com. This book was designed using canva.com. Quotations are from news articles in the Texas Tribune. Research for this book included reviewing sources including: Reuters News Agency, the Associated Press, Politico.com, the Dallas Morning News, the Houston Chronicle, and the Texas Tribune.Verification of the research was provided by the U.S. Department of Justice report on thecritical incident review of the law enforcement responseto the tragic school shooting at Robb Elementary School.Nadine Thompson is a fictional character, based on an army of gray-haired women who believe children should be safe from weapons of war.Author's Note: Like Nadine, the fictional character of this book, I have been sitting and watching while our nation uses the Second Amendment as an excuse to allow weapons of war to be used by civilians.Politicians seem befuddled as to what action should be taken to provide safety to children in their classrooms, shoppers in grocery stores, and worshippers in their churches.They talk about making more mental health services available, arming teachers, and loosening the already lax laws on guns. They talk about good guys with guns. They offer more thoughts and prayers even though those don't solve the problem.But few of them propose a ban on weapons of war.Banning AR-15 rifles for civilian use seems, to me, to be a logical first step in ending massacres in ordinary places that should be safe on any ordinary day.These murders have to end.Like Nadine, I have examined my heart and conscience. And like her, I have decided to stand up.I fervently hope this book encourages you to stand up as well.Sincerely, Peggy Browning "Women grow radical with age. One day an army of gray haired women may quietly take over the Earth.." Gloria Steinem-

The Booker-shortlisted author of Umbrella writes his most American novel yet--a brilliant portrait of a 1950s housewife, based on the life of the author's mother, and an exploration of sexual freedom and sublimated desire, set between the dining halls of Cornell University and the raucous parties of midcentury New York CityWill Self is one of the most inimitable contemporary writers in the English language, dubbed "the most daring and delightful novelist of his generation" by The Guardian. In this brilliantly conceived new novel Self turns his forensic eye and technicolor imagination to the troubled life of his mother, Elaine. Standing by the mailbox outside 1100 Hemlock Street in Ithaca, New York, Elaine thinks of her husband and child inside her house and wonders: is this . . . it? As she begins to push back against the strictures of her life in 1950s America, she undertakes a disastrous affair that put her first marriage to an Ivy League academic and former Communist Party member in peril. Based on the intimate diaries Self's mother kept for over forty years, Elaine is a writer's attempt to reach the almost unimaginable realm: a parent's interior life prior to his own existence. Perhaps the first work of auto-oedipal fiction, Elaine shows Will Self working in an exciting new dimension, utilizing his stylistic talents to tremendous effect.
