Over the course of three violent, fearful days, the paths of three people's lives will intersect & change forever. Logan Finch has just about everything he ever wanted, including a penthouse apartment & a shot at making partner in one of Glasgow's largest law firms. But there's something missing from his life: he still pines for the woman he thought was 'the one' & who left him without a word of explanation over twelve years ago. Alex Cahill is one of Logan's clients, & probably his best friend. The profane, gregarious American owns a successful security business but has a shadowy past & a capacity for violence. Detective Constable Rebecca Irvine, newly promoted to Strathclyde Police's CID, is stuck in a failing marriage.

Dickens's England details the towns, villages, streets & buildings with connections to Dickens's life, & explores the fascinating landscape of his imagination, that mixture of fact & fantasy inhabited by the memorable characters in his novels. Arranged as a gazetteer, the book explores a world that is largely hidden or demolished, but still leaves traces today."ing liberally from the novels themselves, it brings to life Mr Pickwick's Bath, David Copperfield's Yarmouth, Nicholas Nickleby's Yorkshire, the Kent of Great Expectations & the London of Oliver Twist & Bill Sikes, of the Dorrits & the Dombeys, of Chancery & Newgate Prison. The book is illustrated with a mixture of images contemporary to the time & more up-to-date photographs that reveal a surprising amount of Dickensian atmosphere still lingering in the 21st century. The book also covers the places associated with Dickens himself, including his birthplace in Portsmouth, the site of the blacking factory where he famously worked as a child, his favourite holiday destinations, & his final home at Gad's Hill in Kent, including the Dickens museums & attractions in Portsmouth, London, Broadstairs & Rochester. There are over 200 entries, taking us from London to Liverpool, from Plymouth to Preston, from Bath to Birmingham, plus a chronology of Dickens's life & maps showing all the locations in England & London. Endlessly fascinating, Dickens's England is the perfect companion for Dickens fans, tourists & armchair travellers alike. ...

Dice World - Science And Life In A Random Universe

Details: As troubling as we pattern-seeking humans may find it, modern science has repeatedly shown us that randomness is the underlying heartbeat of nature. In Dice World, acclaimed science writer Brian Clegg takes readers on an incredible trip around our random universe, uncovering the truths and lies behind probability and statistics, explaining how chaotic intervention is behind every great success in business, and demonstrating the possibilities quantum mechanics has given us for creating unbreakable ciphers and undergoing teleportation. He explores how the 'clockwork universe' imagined by Newton, in which everything could be predicted given enough data, was disproved bit by bit, to be supplanted by chaos theory and quantum physics. Clegg reveals a world in which not only is
accurate forecasting often impossible but probability is the only way for us to understand the fundamental nature of things. Forget the clockwork universe. Welcome to Dice World, a unique portrait of a startlingly complex cosmos, from the bizarre microscopic world of the quantum to the unfathomable mechanics of planetary movements, where very little is as it seems... Ideal for: People with an interest the astrology and the universe. This paperback book has 274 pages and measures: 21.5 x 13.5 x 2.2cm
