Sherlock Holmes and the Real Thing - Nicholas Meyer
London, 189: The great city is brought to a standstill by a series of blizzards and Sherlock Holmes is bored to distraction. It would take a miracle to bring a case to the detective's door. . .What arrives is not promising: a landlady who complains her artist tenant is behind on rent. Not exactly the miracle for which Holmes was hoping. But, next thing you know, there are several corpses and Sherlock Holmes and his biographer, John H. Watson, MD, find themselves drawn into one of the most bizarre cases of the great detective's career. And into the cutthroat big business of Art, where chicanery and mendacity (and cut throats) proliferate. What makes a work of art worth killing for? Is it the artist, his mistress, his dealer, or his blackmailer? The cast of characters is large. But are they perpetrators, accomplices, or victims? And just who is Juliet Packwood, with whom Watson has become infatuated?Oh, and there's one other problem: Is this a genuine Holmes case or a clever forgery? Is this the real thing?If you can't tell the difference, what is the difference?

Or Something Worse - Nicholas Beuret
The push for net zero has become a new arena for class conflict, where the powerful profit and the rest suffer. Nicholas Beuret''s incisive critique and actionable strategies empower us to fight for a truly sustainable and equitable future.The transition to a decarbonized economy has ignited a new arena of class conflict, one that subtly invades our home, workplaces, and across our communities. Our rush toward net zero is not as straightforward as it seems. Claims of sustainability disguise a zero-sum battle where the powerful profit and the everyday person pays the price through a diminishing quality of life.In The War of Transition, Nicholas Beuret unravels the complexities of the green economy. Energy bills soar by 80%, and even the most basic necessities become scarce luxuries. He reveals a landscape marred by geopolitical struggles, green colonialism, and a relentless squeeze on living standards. With the result that the climate crisis and industrial practices systematically degrade our essential resources—food, water, and people—to ensure business remains profitable.The War of Transition exposes the stark realities of the so-called green transition and the need for a radical reimagining of how we fight for a just, sustainable future.  It follows those already fighting back—with ...

The Book About Everything
To celebrate the centenary of the publication of Ulysses, the most important literary work of the twentieth century, eighteen artists, writers and thinkers respond to an episode each of the great modernist text. Each essayist is an expert in one of the subjects treated in the novel, but what brings them together is a common love of Ulysses. Joseph O'Connor considers the music-saturated Sirens episode and David McWilliams writes about the bigotry and violence of nationalism on display in Cyclops. Irish obstetrician Rhona Mahony responds to Oxen and the Sun, set in a maternity hospital, journalist Lara Marlowe examines the Aeolus episode, which takes place in a newspaper office, and Irish philosopher Richard Kearney reflects on the erudite musings of Stephen Dedalus as he walks along Sandymount strand. The Book About Everything counters the perception of Ulysses as the sole preserve of academics and instead showcases readers' responses to the book. It is a vivid, even eccentric collection, filled with life and Joycean spirit.
