At its core, the story is about the importance of human connections, the value of teamwork, and the often humorous complexities that arise when ordinary people are thrust into extraordinary circumstances. This charming mystery offers a delightful blend of intrigue, character dynamics, and sharp humor.

An earthquake shatters Haiti and a hurricane slices through Texas. We hear that nature runs rampant, seeking to destroy us through these 'natural disasters'. Science recounts a different story, however: disasters are not the consequence of natural causes; they are the consequence of human choices and decisions.We put ourselves in harm's way; we fail to take measures which we know would prevent disasters, no matter what the environment does. This can be both hard to accept, and hard to unravel. A complex of factors shape disasters.They arise from the political processes dictating where and what we build, and from social circumstances which create and perpetuate poverty and discrimination. They develop from the social preference to blame nature for the damage wrought, when in fact events such as earthquakes and storms are entirely commonplace environmental processes. We feel the need to fight natural forces, to reclaim what weassume is ours, and to protect ourselves from what we perceive to be wrath from outside our communities.This attitude distracts us from the real causes of disasters: humanity's decisions, as societies and as individuals. It stops us accepting the real solutions to disasters: making better decisions. This book explores stories of some of our worst disasters to show how we can and should act to stop people dying when nature unleashes its energies.The disaster is not the tornado, the volcanic eruption, or climate change, but the deaths and injuries, the loss of irreplaceable property, and the lack and even denial of support to affected people, so that a short-term interruption becomes a long-term recovery nightmare. But we can combat this, as Kelman shows, describing inspiring examples ofeffective human action that limits damage, such as managing flooding in Toronto and villages in Bangladesh, or wildfires in Colorado. Throughout, his message is clear: there is no such thing as a natural disaster.The disaster lies in our inability to deal with the environment and with ourselves.

ABSOLUTION BY MURDER is the brilliant and evocative first novel in Peter Tremayne''s Sister Fidelma series, bringing 7th-century Ireland vividly to life.PRAISE FOR ABSOLUTION BY MURDER: ''In the simultaneously sharp-tongued and full womanly figure of Sister Fidelma, Tremayne has created a heroine whom many readers will willingly follow. Even Brother Cadfael might have tolerated her'' Kirkus Reviews As the leading churchmen and women gather at the Synod of Whitby in 664AD to debate the rival merits of the Celtic and Roman Churches, tempers begin to fray. Conspirators plot an assassination, while mysterious, violent death stalks the shadowy cloisters of the Abbey of St Hilda. When the Abbess Etain, a leading speaker for the Celtic Church, is found murdered suspicion inevitably rests on the Roman faction.Attending the Synod is Fidelma, of the community of St Brigid of Kildare. As an advocate of the Brehon Court, she is called on to investigate the murder with Brother Eadulf, of the Roman faction. However, the two are so unlike that their partnership is described as that of a wolf and a fox - but which is which?More gruesome deaths follow and the friction among the clerics could end in civil war. Can the solution to the mysteries avert such a conflict?What readers are saying about ABSOLUTION OF MURDER:''Superb storytelling from a usually neglected era. Read this and you will certainly want to read the rest of this excellent series''''I was transported back in time; Peter Tremayne brought the location and characters to life''''The story moves forward with Fidelma weaving her way through to the end with skill and intelligence. Well worth reading''

Manderley Press is delighted to announce the publication of a brand-new edition of Helene Hanff''s Letter from New York - another literary jewel from the author of 84, Charing Cross Road. To showcase this wonderful book, we commissioned the New York Times bestselling author Jean Hanff Korelitz (The Plot) to pen a new introduction - she is a cousin of Helene Hanff''s, and was inspired to become a writer after meeting her as a teenager. The front cover was specially designed by New Yorker illustrator Bruce Eric Kaplan, also a fan of the author and a resident of New York City too. Over several years, Helene Hanff read aloud these stories of her life in New York for BBC Radio 4''s Woman''s Hour. This book is a collection of selected scripts from this series, composed with a British audience in mind, in which the author offers us a glimpse into her own everyday tales of the city. Written in her trademark whimsical and upbeat style, Helene Hanff transports us right to the heart of Manhattan in the 1980s, describing her favourite places, people and pets with gentle humour, and introducing the reader to the ups and downs of life in a high-rise apartment building in New York City ("the last small town in America"). We are introduced to Bentley, the Old English Sheepdog belonging to a neighbour who captured the author''s heart; we take a stroll through the beautiful Shakespeare''s Garden in Central Park; and we join the author to enjoy annual city parades down Fifth Avenue - especially the St Patrick''s Day parade, when the whole of New York turned green. And we meet Helene''s friends: Arlene, whose glamorous social life - and wardrobe - puts Hanff''s tiny apartment and simple writer''s life into perspective, and Nina, whose garden on the sixteenth-floor overflows with flowers and fruit trees. Finally, we accompany the author as she travels to London to celebrate the opening night of the dramatisation of her best-selling book 84, Charing Cross Road. What started out as a six-month trial in 1978 eventually turned into a six-year project, during which time Helene Hanff captivated radio audiences with her monthly broadcasts - each one a love letter to her beloved NYC. Long before the cast of Friends - and Sarah Jessica Parker''s iconic evocation of life in the city - recreated a New York existence for us to experience vicariously, these 5-minute vignettes were the perfect way for native New Yorkers and international readers alike, to revel in the quotidian as well as the glamour of city life, and to discover the unexpected hidden gems - and treasured traditions - of New York City. Letter from New York is still a delight to read, 40 years after it was first written - a timeless and beguiling tale of everyday life in this great city, by one of the best-loved authors of the 20th-century.

On 12 May 1883, the German flag was raised on the coast of South-West Africa, modern Namibia - the beginnings of Germany''s African Empire. As colonial forces moved in , their ruthless punitive raids became an open war of extermination. Thousands of the indigenous people were killed or driven out into the desert to die. By 1905, the survivors were interned in concentration camps, and systematically starved and worked to death.Years later, the people and ideas that drove the ethnic cleansing of German South West Africa would influence the formation of the Nazi party. The Kaiser''s Holocaust uncovers extraordinary links between the two regimes: their ideologies, personnel, even symbols and uniform. The Herero and Nama genocide was deliberately concealed for almost a century. Today, as the graves of the victims are uncovered, its re-emergence challenges the belief that Nazism was an aberration in European history. The Kaiser''s Holocaust passionately narrates this harrowing story and explores one of the defining episodes of the twentieth century from a new angle. Moving, powerful and unforgettable, it is a story that needs to be told.

A na krátky okamih, obklopená cezmínou, ktorá mi prepichuje nohavice, zabudnem, kde som. Zabudnem na dom, ktorý zatiaľ nepovažujem za domov, a na hektickú prácu. Vtedy príde tá myšlienka. Tu by mohli byť včely, napadne mi a moja myseľ sa vzápätí rozbehne ako stádo divokých koní. Prekvapene odstúpim. Helen Jukes sa na prahu tridsiatky cíti uväznená v mestskom kolotoči kancelárskych intríg a dočasných adries. Snaží sa vybudovať zázemie v podobe novej práce v Oxforde, ale uvedomí si, že ak túži viesť zmysluplný život naplnený láskou a prácou, musí sa zmeniť. Práve vtedy jej priatelia venujú včelstvo (podľa starých legiend darované včely prinášajú šťastie) a z Helen sa postupne stáva včelárka. Čo však znamená starať sa o týchto divokých tvorčekov a prežiť s nimi jeden celý rok? Ako môžu nové poznatky o včelách prispieť k objavovaniu seba samej? A prinesie jej cesta do útrob úľa uvoľnenie? Táto kniha je rovnako prekvapujúca, krásna a neobyčajná ako život včiel v úli. - Helen MacDonald, autorka knihy J jako jestřáb Zatiaľ čo Helen hľadá svoje miesto v úžasnom ekosystéme úľa, samotný chov jej prináša nový pohľad na život. Prehlbuje jej staré i nové vzťahy a do sveta okolo nej vnáša svetlo. Helenino rozprávanie je fascinujúcou výpravou po stopách včiel, premenách ich príbytku i exkurzom do histórie nášho skúmania včelstva. Kniha predstavuje úchvatné zamyslenie nad zodpovednosťou a starostlivosťou, zraniteľnosťou a dôverou, vytváraním nových pút a nad vstupom na doteraz nepreskúmané územia.
