Book excerpt: Peter Robinson, the acclaimed author of the bestselling series Stephen King calls “the best now on the market,” returns with a gripping, emotionally charged mystery in which the revered detective Alan Banks must find the truth about a murder with possible racial overtones—and save a friend from ruin. In Eastvale, a young Middle Eastern boy is found dead, his body stuffed into a wheelie bin on the East Side Estate. Detective Superintendent Alan Banks and his team know they must tread carefully to solve this sensitive case, but tensions rise when they learn that the victim was stabbed somewhere else and dumped. Who is the boy, and where did he come from? Then, in a decayed area of Eastvale scheduled for redevelopment, a heroin addict is found dead. Was this just another tragic overdose, or something darker? To prevent tensions from reaching a boiling point, Banks must find answers quickly. Yet just when he needs to be at his sharpest, the seasoned detective finds himself distracted by a close friend’s increasingly precarious situation. Banks needs a break—and gets one when he finds a connection to a real estate developer who could be the key to finding the truth. With so many loose ends dangling, there is one thing Banks is sure of—solving the case will come at a terrible cost.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: River basin management is a key concept in contemporary water policy. Since the management of rivers is best designed and implemented at the scale of the river basin, it seems obvious that we should not confine ourselves to administrative or geographical borders. In other words, river basin management implies crossing borders. Experience with river policies shows that this is easier said than done, though. This book reveals how cross border co-operation in river management looks today. It first analyses the literature in this field of policy and research and then goes on to describe five cases of cross border initiatives in quite different corners of Europe. By using well-developed indicators and an elaborate analytical framework, it deals systematically with opportunities for and barriers to cross border co-operation on European rivers. Including chapters about the following rivers: Rhine (Verwijmeren), IJssel (Feld, Locker-Grütjen), Vecht (Lulofs, Coenen), Evros, Bug

Book excerpt: Following the Second World War, the British Government recruited thousands of people from throughout the Caribbean to work in British hospitals in a range of roles including doctors and nurses, cleaners and porters, midwives and health visitors, cooks and administrators. Using archive and contemporary photographs and oral history, this publication explores the stories of some of these men and women who came to live and work in Britain from the late 1940s through to the 1960s, and considers the challenges and discrimination they had to overcome. In doing so, the book recognises the significant part that immigrants from the Caribbean played in the development of the NHS during its formative years.

Book excerpt: This book by and about the sculptor and pioneer land artist Richard Long explores his work from the 1990s to the present day. Long's ability to make works of physical and intellectual beauty in both outdoor and indoor spaces is unrivaled, and the journey covered here takes the reader around the world: to the Sahara Desert and down the Rio Grande, from coast to coast in Ireland and Spain, to Tierra del Fuego and Mongolia, and to the forests of Honshu in Japan. Some of the artist's sculptures were made during his walks through the world's landscapes, while others bring the materials of naturestones, boulders, driftwood, clay, and mudinto museums, galleries, houses, and gardens. These works feed the senses, whereas the texts and photographs recording the artist's walks feed the imagination. Majestic museum pieces made from tons of rock are juxtaposed with dramatic mud works and photographs recording ephemeral sculptures often made in the remote wilderness. Most of the photographs were taken by the artist himself, and the book also includes his notes and writings. If walking has become Long's trademark, the path is perhaps the central image or archetype in his work. The idea of the path or way has meaning in all culturesfrom the most material to the most spiritual. It is both real and symbolic, whether it is a life, a road, or the Taoist "Great Way." With his walks, Richard Long weaves a line through many traditions, creating an art that is both timeless and universal. 248 illustrations in color and duotone.

Book excerpt: Memoir of World War II German soldier of the Death's Head (Totenkopf) division. Born in Berlin in 1924, he was the son of a decorated WWI Stormtrooper and Freikorps member, and grew up in Hitler's Germany. He joined the German Scout movement, which was taken over by the Hitler Youth. In 1942, he joined the Waffen SS, and during the War he saw combat on the Eastern Front at Kharkov and the world's largest tank battle at Kursk. At Kursk, his division fought gallantly against a superior number of soviet divisions at Prokhorova. Shortly after this, he was wounded and later returned to fight as part of a battle group. When the war ended, he spent three and a half years in various POW camps in Germany, Belgium and finally in England, where he was released in 1948. He worked on the farm where he had been a POW, and in the 60s he joined the British Army's Royal Armoured Corps. 267 pages, with photos. (World Wide Web)
