Fever Hill
£9.00
Nothing about Sophie Monroe is 'appropriate'. She's too outspoken, too determined, & her childhood hero, Ben Kelly, grew up in appalling poverty in the London slums.

Her only haven is Eden, the hauntingly beautiful plantation in Jamaica, where her sister Madeleine leads a charmed existence with her husband & children.

But when Sophie returns from England in the summer of 1903, she finds Eden on the brink of ruin. Nothing is as it seems. Ben is avoiding her, & Madeleine is hiding something. But what? What could be so wrong that she can't tell her own sister?

Now Sophie must face not just a clash of loyalties, but the savage prejudices of colonial society. & finally, she must confront the ghosts of her own past...

Fiction And The
Reading Public
£12.99
Fiction & the Reading Public provoked fierce controvers when first published in 1932, & it has since come to be recognised as a classic in its field. In her fascinating study, Q D Leavis investigates what has happened to the public taste in the last three centuries & what effect this has had on both the life of the nation & the equality of living for the individual. A brilliant piece of literary exegesis & an illuminating anthropological commentary
- DAILY MAIL An illuminating study... it offers a rich store of interest, not only in its vigorous scrutiny of the novel & the influences which have shaped it, but also in its study of changing attitudes & tempos of life amont the general public who read novels... An achievement of distinguished quality & high value. New Republic. She has performed a noble office by inquiring into the case of the bestseller. The result is no less entertaining than instructive -SATURDAY REVIEW.

Field Study
£6.29
From the author of The Dark Room comes a strikingly powerful collection of stories exploring themes of guilt, love & sacrifice with a haunting emotional precision. With a range of settings as diverse as the Scottish seaside & post-Communist eastern Germany Seiffert uses the locations of these stories to bring her characters into relief. Powerfully evoking our human need for connection, Field Study takes us on journeys that demonstrate both the fragility & adaptability of our emotions, as well as the vast potential for danger & vulnerability created by all types of love
- familial, platonic or romantic. Seiffert isolates & captures not only the underlying & compelling sorrow of love, but also the joy & desire for that love that keeps us alive.

Feynman's Lost Lecture: The Motions Of Planets Around The Sun

The great theoretical physicist and Nobel Prize winnder, Richard Feynman, left an indelible imprint on scientific thought. On 14 March 1964 he delivered a remarkable lecture which, until now, was believed to be lost. His lecture was about a single fact, though by no means a small one. When a planet or a comet or any other body arcs through space under the influence of gravity, it traces out one of a very special set of mathematical curves, known as the conic sections. But why does nature choose to describe those, and only those, elegant geometrical constructions ? In this book Feynman's lost lecture has been reconstructed and explained in meticulous, accessible detail, together with a history of ideas of the planets' motions. It can be enjoyed by the specialist and
non-specialist alike and provides us all with an invaluable insight into the mind of one of this century's greatest scientists.
