Built around AD122, Hadrian's Wall was guarded by the Roman army for over three centuries and has left an indelible mark on the landscape of northern Britain. It was a wonder of the ancient world and is a World Heritage Site. Written by a leading archaeologist who has excavated widely on the Wall, this is an authoritative yet accessible treatment of the archaeological evidence. The book explains why the expansion of the Roman empire ground to a halt in remote northern Britain, how the Wall came to be built and the purpose it was intended to serve. It is not a guidebook to the remains, but an introduction to the Wall and the soldiers and civilians, men, women and children, who once peopled the abandoned ruins visited by tourists today.

A critically acclaimed novelist pulls Nick Carraway out of the shadows and into the spotlight in this "masterful" look into his life before Gatsby (Richard Russo, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Empire Falls and Chances Are).Before Nick Carraway moved to West Egg and into Gatsby's periphery, he was at the center of a very different story-one taking place along the trenches and deep within the tunnels of World War I. Floundering in the wake of the destruction he witnessed firsthand, Nick delays his return home, hoping to escape the questions he cannot answer about the horrors of war. Instead, he embarks on a transcontinental redemptive journey that takes him from a whirlwind Paris romance-doomed from the very beginning-to the dizzying frenzy of New Orleans, rife with its own flavor of debauchery and violence. An epic portrait of a truly singular era and a sweeping, romantic story of self-discovery, this rich and imaginative novel breathes new life into a character that many know but few have pondered deeply. Charged with enough alcohol, heartbreak, and profound yearning to paralyze even the heartiest of golden age scribes, Nick reveals the man behind the narrator who has captivated readers for decades.

Believing that her new love embodies many of the traits she so highly values, Tanya agrees to cohabitate with Nick. unfortunately, she finds herself pregnant and soon discovers that who she thought was the love of her life has been far less than forthright.

What happens when you plunge an historical figure, the real Saint Nicholas, into the modern world? Not the red-suited, toy-making Saint Nicholas of American legend, but a man who exemplifies the spirit of giving; who gives from the heart and who knows what people need-not what they want. You get Nick, not really a man, but the immortal spirit of giving, who gets the reader to examine the spiritual side of life in a modern way but without a hint of religious dogma. Nick deals with adolescence, family, racial, and social issues and makes a positive difference in every life that he touches as he helps them to cope with seemingly insurmountable problems: Nick, a seemingly enigmatic old man, walks quietly into the lives of twelve very different people and is deprecated with prejudice, apprehension, and disdain about his strange appearance; during the holiday season that initial perception changes to love and respect as he helps orchestrate profound changes in each of their futures through miraculous gifts. Meet the twelve deserving people from all walks of life-all ages, all cultures, and socio-economic backgrounds-as they each struggle with something in their lives that holds them back from achieving their full potential as human beings. Nick is a proponent of the idea of giving oneself for the greater good. Nick helps a teenager in abject poverty trying to cope with the loss of her brother, an African-American mother and her illegitimate daughter enduring prejudice and the racist responsible for their plight, the unorthodox rescue of a sixteen-year-old girl from a sexual predator, a Hispanic couple split apart by the husband's compulsive obsession to put a drug dealer behind bars, a seventeen-year-old gravitating towards the wrong circle of friends, politics replete with graft, a mother coping with the possible loss of her twelve-year-old boy, who is suffering the agony of cancer treatments and life in an oncology unit, and a host of other problems facing both adults and teens that ominously threaten his goals. Each of the twelve days of Christmas will focus on a miraculous gift as the lives of twelve different people become woven together through a common thread that will change them forever. Can 4th century ideals match up to 21st century reality, and can modern man deal with the concept of the afterlife vis vis the paranormal? Parents can buy their children gifts; Nick is the spirit of giving of oneself, requiring no price-tags, and that inimitable spirit sees none of the boundaries that separate humans from each other-socio-economic standing, race, age, sex, religion.

She'd had a run of bad luck and was already having another bad day...but it turned disastrous when she was the only witness to a mass murder. She watched in horror as her boss, his son, and other employees were gunned down before her eyes. The police promised to protect her identity if she testified against the monsters that had committed the massacre. But her name somehow was discovered and threats immediately fired in her direction. Detective Nick Baker promised to protect her and when things got hot he hid her away in his cabin in the backwoods of Wisconsin. Darcy wasn't sure what the bigger danger was - the killer hunting her or falling in love with the man who vowed to protect her. She couldn't love a police officer. She refused to love a police officer. It was nearly impossible to resist him, though, with his intense silver eyes and brawny body. He was like a drug, addictive and sinfully potent. Somehow she needed to protect her heart from him while he protected her from the deranged killers. Was she brave enough to confront both dangers?

From the author of the 2021 YA Book Prize winning Loveless. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, right? CHARLIE: “I have been going out with Nick Nelson for two years.
