First published in 1935, “The Adventures of Sajo and her Beaver People” is a children's adventure novel by British author Grey Owl. With beautiful illustrations also by Grey Owl, the story is based on the real-life experiences of a young Ojibwe Indian girl called Sajo and her older brother who adopt two baby beavers, Chilawee and Chikanee, in an attempt to save them from fur traders. An instant bestseller, it was translated into numerous European languages including Polish and Russian. Archibald Stansfeld Belaney (1888–1938), also known as Grey Owl, was a British fur trapper, conservationist, and writer. In life, he pretended to be a First Nations person, but it was later discovered that he was in fact not Indigenous—revelations that greatly tarnished his reputation. Other notable works by this author include: “The Men of the Last Frontier”, “Pilgrims of the Wild”, and “Tales of an Empty Cabin”. This classic work is being republished now in a new edition with specially curated introductory material.

ETHIOPIA. 1935.
With the threat of Mussolini’s army looming, recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a maid. Her new employer, Kidane, an officer in Emperor Haile Selassie’s army, rushes to mobilise his strongest men before the Italians invade.
Hirut and the other women long to do more than care for the wounded and bury the dead. When Emperor Haile Selassie goes into exile and Ethiopia quickly loses hope, it is Hirut who offers a plan to maintain morale. She helps disguise a gentle peasant as the emperor and soon becomes his guard, inspiring other women to take up arms. But how could she have predicted her own personal war, still to come, as a prisoner of one of Italy’s most vicious officers?
The Shadow King is a gorgeously crafted and unputdownable exploration of female power, and what it means to be a woman at war.
The Meaning of Life
Addresses with insight and compassion a question which, throughout history, has been a cause for much speculation and debate. Turns the pursuit of a meaningful life from a comedically-complex impossibility to something we can all comprehend, aim for and succeed at. A philosophical approach to finding meaning in life, exploring the varied potential sources of meaning, from love and family, to work, culture and nature. Beautifully produced, high end gift format. Illustrated with full colour images.
The Transformation of the European Union
The EU has undergone a deep transformation in the last 25 years. The goals adopted by the EU at the international level in climate negotiations have led to the internal adoption of goals by the EU member states. The book examines the changes experienced by the European Union that have gone on in parallel to its leadership in climate negotiations since 1992 and analyses whether combating climate change has contributed to the transformation of European policies.The book takes an in-depth look at the greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions reduction goals adopted by European states, the leadership of the EU in climate negotiations, the creation of the Energy Union, the commitment to a model of sustainable development, the promotion of a circular economy and the enhancement of cities, as relevant actors in the reduction of emissions and boosting of sound environmental practices.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>List of Figures</li><li>List of Tables</li><li>List of Contributors</li><li>Introduction</li><li>Leadership in the European Union: Climate, Energy and Economy <i>(Xira Ruiz-Campillo)</i></li><li>The European Union and Its Role in Climate Change Negotiations at the UNFCCC: From a Loss to a Recovery of Leadership with Costs 2009–2018 <i>(María del Pilar Bueno)</i></li><li>Evolution and Overview of the Current European Legal Commitment Heading for a Unique Model of Sustainable Development <i>(María Dolores Sánchez Galera)</i></li><li>Climate Change and Development Cooperation in the European Union <i>(Kattya Cascante Hernández)</i></li><li>A European Action Plan for Circular Economy <i>(Elena Bulmer Santana)</i></li><li>The Energy Union: The EU at Work <i>(María Isabel Nieto)</i></li><li>Implementing Climate Security in the European Union <i>(Rosa Giles-Carnero)</i></li><li>The Role of European Cities in the Fight Against Climate Change: Networking for Local Climate Policy Convergence <i>(Ekaterina Domorenok)</i></li><li>Index</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> A wide range of readers: from those interested in the European Union to those interested in the environment, energy, security or sustainability policies in the EU; Researchers, graduate students, and general public interested in these subjects (environmental activists, economists interested in a new economy or the energy union, etc.).European Union;Climate Change;Sustainability;Environment00
Heartbreak
Almost no one gets through life without, at some point, having their heart broken. Advice at such a dark moment tends to focus on letting time do the healing. But there is also a vital role for understanding and perspective. We sometimes make our situation far worse than it needs to be through certain ideas we develop about why we’ve been left. We start to tell ourselves that we are not good enough, that we fail at everything, that this one rejection means we will always be maltreated… Our thoughts make our sorrow a great deal more intense than it could be. This is a book to help us over heartbreak by offering us some context, some history, some psychology and a little philosophy. We learn about how our responses to abandonment are formed, what the best way to think about an ex might be and how to envisage future relationships when we are in despair. We come away gently cheered that we are not alone, consoled that our suffering will have an end—and intrigued by the endless and subtle sorrows and joys of relationships. "Everyone we admire, everyone we find interesting has had, or will have, their heart broken. Our heartbreak seems to cut us off from the rest of humanity; secretly it brings us closer together."
Lattice Boltzmann and Gas Kinetic Flux Solvers
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely applied in a wide variety of industrial applications, including aeronautics, astronautics, energy, chemical, pharmaceuticals, power and petroleum.This unique compendium documents the recent developments in CFD based on kinetic theories, introducing flux reconstruction strategies of kinetic methods for the simulation of complex incompressible and compressible flows, namely the lattice Boltzmann and the gas kinetic flux solvers (LBFS or GKFS). LBFS and GKFS combine advantages of both Navier-Stokes (N-S) solvers and kinetic solvers.Detailed derivations, evaluations and applications of LBFS and GKFS, and their advantages over conventional flux reconstruction strategies are analyzed and discussed in the volume.The must-have reference text is useful for scholars, researchers, professionals and students who are keen in CFD methods and numerical simulations.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Introduction</li><li>Kinetic Equations</li><li>Lattice Boltzmann Flux Solver for Isothermal and Thermal Flows</li><li>Multiphase Lattice Boltzmann Flux Solver for Two-Phase Flows</li><li>Maxwellian Function-Based Gas Kinetic Flux Solver</li><li>Simplified Distribution Function-Based Gas Kinetic Flux Solvers</li><li>Discrete Gas Kinetic Flux Solvers</li><li>Gas Kinetic Flux Solvers for Incompressible Flows</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Professionals, academics, researchers, and graduate students in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, engineering mechanics and mathematical physics.
