Welcome to the Ritual Crime Unit.\n\nA hard-nosed career officer in a male-dominated world, DCI Claire Pierce of North Yorkshire Police heads Northern England's underfunded and understaffed Ritual Crime Unit. Dismissed by the traditional police, struggling with an outsized caseload, the RCU is the country's last line of defence against horrors few can imagine.\n\nA failed raid to capture an unlicensed skinbinder becomes a murky off-the-record hunt for a monster. Injured in the line of duty, Pierce returns to contend with ritual murders, puzzling artefact thefts, haunted skulls and a plot with catastrophic implications. With a rebellious second-in-command, an inexperienced team and a boss who only cares about public relations, Pierce has to join the dots before it's too late...

Fall in love under the mistletoe with this heartwarming, Hallmark-esque story about three sisters and their last Christmas to reconnect before their lives change forever. \n\nSisters Rose, Magnolia, and Dahlia are each at a crossroads in their lives: Rose is getting married in six months. Magnolia is struggling after another round of failed fertility treatments. And Dahlia has just sent her two children off on an expensive European vacation with her ex-husband -- and his new girlfriend. When their Aunt Sassy invites them all to stay at her Bristlecone Inn for the Christmas season, it seems the perfect escape. \n\nWhen they arrive, however, they realize the home of their treasured holiday memories has changed. The cottages are run-down, and Sassy has volunteered them for the inn's annual Christmas Extravaganza, turning their timeout into a race to recreate the Christmas magic of their childhood before the big event. Though the sisters haven't been close for years, working together gives them the chance to reconnect. Each one has always assumed the others already had the perfect life -- but as the end of the year draws near, the sisters find their hearts opening to new possibilities. In their beloved Bristlecone Inn, they start to question what they really want for their lives and rediscover their dreams in the bonds of sisterhood.

Il libro che la tua tintoria non vuole farti leggere. Tutto può essere lavato in lavatrice: completi da uomo, golfini in cachemire, tappeti... Con questo libro scoprirai come! Il bucato: che noia! Eppure lavare ogni capo nel modo giusto significa imparare a fare attenzione alle nostre cose, al nostro tempo e al nostro ambiente. Non si tratta solo di separare i bianchi dai colorati e scegliere il programma: cambiare il rapporto che abbiamo con la lavatrice è il primo passo per fare ordine e pulizia anche dentro di noi, scoprendo che prendersi cura dei propri capi è un atto d'amore. Patric Richardson, noto come l'Evangelista del Bucato, con infinita passione e competenza ci svela trucchi, segreti e consigli per un lavaggio più veloce, economico, ecologico. Guida a tutti i tessuti (anche quelli che non sapevamo esistessero); Etichette mendaci e miti da sfatare (mai fidarsi di 'lavare solo a secco'); Come togliere qualsiasi macchia da qualsiasi tessuto; Lavare in modo sostenibile; Ordinare i vestiti in maniera funzionale per evitare brutte sorprese e fastidiosi animaletti; Cure speciali per capi speciali (o anche: se decidiamo di lavare il vestito da sposa); Fare meglio il bucato può cambiarti la vita e salvarti il portafoglio.   La stragrande maggioranza di noi, quando compra un capo di abbigliamento, non fa caso alle istruzioni per il lavaggio. Per poi magari scoprire che quei bellissimi pantaloni bianchi che si sporcano solo a guardarli vanno lavati in tintoria, con un costo che, a fine estate, supera quello di acquisto; o che deve lasciare nell'armadio la giacca vintage della nonna per paura di spendere un capitale in lavaggio a secco. Ora finalmente c'è una soluzione: Patric Richardson, appassionato fin da piccolo alla cura di capi e tessuti, ha fatto della sua passione una professione. Con il suo metodo ci dimostra che praticamente tutto può essere lavato in lavatrice - dai completi da uomo ai golf in cachemire fino ai tappeti -, che non esistono macchie impossibili, che c'è un uso corretto di detersivi e altre sostanze per restituire ai tessuti il loro naturale splendore e che è persino possibile riportare alle condizioni originali maglioni infeltriti da un lavaggio sbagliato! Colui che è noto come l'Evangelista del Bucato trasformerà le nostre vite: scopriremo che prenderci cura dei nostri capi ci fa risparmiare, contribuisce a salvaguardare il pianeta, ma soprattutto che è un atto di amore nei confronti di noi stessi.

There are fewer grey seals in the world than endangered African elephants, but the British Isles host almost half of this global population. Every year these charismatic animals, with their expressive eyes and whiskers more sensitive than our fingertips, haul out on our shores to breed and raise their pups.\n \n\n\n As graceful in the sea as they might seem clumsy on land, grey seals have visited our shores and enriched our culture for centuries. Yet we still know relatively little about these captivating animals. As Susan Richardson journeys to the crags and crevices of the coast, she explores the mysteries and mythologies of seals, learning not just how they live but also how we ought to live with them.\nPRAISE FOR SUSAN RICHARDSON\n‘Cut and precise, archaic and innovative, transcendent and in-the-moment, [Richardson] sees the life of the sea as a mirror of ourselves, and vice versa: always changing, always the same … Vital, glorious and salutary’\nPHILIP HOARE, AUTHOR OF LEVIATHAN\n‘[Richardson] writes in prehensile language, capable of grasping something vast, ancient, chthonic: the Earth in must’\nJAY GRIFFITHS, AUTHOR OF WILD\n‘Richardson beautifully marries the landscape of the polar regions with their – and her own – emotional topography’\nSARA WHEELER\nSusan Richardson has always been entranced by seals; they seem to have surfaced at key junctions throughout her life, comforting her as an anxious child, bringing joy as she began to spread her wings as a writer and helping her to find her way after the loss of her mother. Now she sets out to trace the rhythm of their lives, travelling the coasts clockwise from Cornwall to Norfolk, in line with the autumn pupping season. Along the way she explores the myths surrounding seals, from their shapeshifting selkie skins to the claims that they decimate fish populations, and she discovers that the greatest dangers they face come from co-existing with us.\n Brimming with vivid descriptions of the natural world, Where the Seals Sing is a lyrical tale of memory, rescue and rehabilitation. While loss, both personal and ecological, is a recurring theme, the human–seal connection that flows through the story is stirring and uplifting.

Samuel Richardson's Pamela is a captivating story of one young woman's rebellion against the social order, edited by Peter Sabor with an introduction by Margaret A. Doody in Penguin Classics.\n\nFifteen-year-old Pamela Andrews, alone in the world, is pursued by her dead mistress's son. Although she is attracted to Mr B, she holds out against his demands and threats of abduction and rape, determined to protect her virginity and abide by her moral standards. Psychologically acute in its explorations of sex, freedom and power, Richardson's first novel caused a sensation when it was published, with its depiction of a servant heroine who dares to assert herself. Richly comic and full of lively scenes and descriptions, Pamela contains a diverse cast of characters ranging from the vulgar and malevolent Mrs Jewkes to the aggressive but awkward country squire who serves this unusual love story as both its villain and hero.\n\nIn her introduction, Margaret Ann Doody discusses the epistolary genre of novels and examines the role of women and class differences. This edition, based on the 1801 text and incorporating corrections made in 1810, makes Richardson's final version of the two-volume generally available for the first time.\n\nSamuel Richardson (1689-1761) was born in Derbyshire, the son of a joiner. He received little formal education, but in 1706 was apprenticed to a London printer, going on to become a leading figure of the trade in the capital. Pamela originated as a volume of model letters for unskilled letter-writers, but as Richardson became more fascinated by the characters in his letters than the letters themselves, the germ of a novel began to emerge. Upon its publication in 1740 Pamela; or, Virtue Rewarded became a national sensation.\n\nIf you enjoyed Pamela, you might like Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders, also available in Penguin Classics.

This title outlines the complex significance of bodies in the late medieval central Arab Islamic lands. Did you know that blue eyes, baldness, bad breath and boils were all considered bodily 'blights' by Medieval Arabs, as were cross eyes, lameness and deafness? What assumptions about bodies influenced this particular vision of physical difference? How did blighted people view their own bodies? Through close analyses of anecdotes, personal letters, biographies and autobiographies, erotic poetry, non-binding legal opinions, diaristic chronicles and theological tracts, Kristina Richardson brings the cultural views and experiences of disability and difference in the medieval Islamic world to life. It investigates the place of physically different, disabled and ill individuals in medieval Islam. It is organised around the lives and works of 6 Muslim men, each highlighting a different aspect of bodily difference. It addresses broad cultural questions relating to social class, religious orthodoxy, moral reputation, drug use, male homoeroticism and self-representation in the public sphere.\nIt moves towards a coherent theory of medieval disability and bodily aesthetics in Islamic cultural traditions.

A new history of the abolition of the British slave trade\n  \n“Easily the most scholarly, clear and persuasive analysis yet published of the rise to dominance of the British in the Atlantic slave trade—as well as the implementation of abolition when that dominance was its peak.”—David Eltis, coauthor of Atlas of the Transatlantic Slave Trade\n  \n Parliament’s decision in 1807 to outlaw British slaving was a key moment in modern world history. In this magisterial work, historian David Richardson challenges claims that this event was largely due to the actions of particular individuals and emphasizes instead that abolition of the British slave trade relied on the power of ordinary people to change the world. British slaving and opposition to it grew in parallel through the 1760s and then increasingly came into conflict both in the public imagination and in political discourse. Looking at the ideological tensions between Britons’ sense of themselves as free people and their willingness to enslave Africans abroad, Richardson shows that from the 1770s those simmering tensions became politicized even as British slaving activities reached unprecedented levels, mobilizing public opinion to coerce Parliament to confront and begin to resolve the issue between 1788 and 1807.

'Not all lost cities are real, but this one was.'\nThe extraordinary story of Alexander the Great's lost city, and a quest to unravel one of the most captivating mysteries in ancient history.\n\n'Superb ... impeccably researched, but with the pace and deftly woven plot complexity of a John le Carre novel ... utterly brilliant' William Dalrymple, Guardian\n'[An] exceptional biography ... This is a jewel of a book' Sunday Times\n'A brilliant and evocative biography, written with consummate scholarship, great style and wit' Daily Telegraph\n\n______\n\nFor centuries the city of Alexandria Beneath the Mountains was a meeting point of East and West. Then it vanished. In 1833 it was discovered in Afghanistan by the unlikeliest person imaginable: Charles Masson, an ordinary working-class boy from London turned deserter, pilgrim, doctor, archaeologist and highly respected scholar.\n\nOn the way into one of history's most extraordinary stories, Masson would take tea with kings, travel with holy men and become the master of a hundred disguises; he would see things no westerner had glimpsed before and few have glimpsed since. He would spy for the East India Company and be suspected of spying for Russia at the same time, for this was the era of the Great Game, when imperial powers confronted each other in these staggeringly beautiful lands. Masson discovered tens of thousands of pieces of Afghan history, including the 2,000-year-old Bimaran golden casket, which has upon it the earliest known face of the Buddha. He would be offered his own kingdom; he would change the world, and the world would destroy him.\n\nThis is a wild journey through nineteenth-century India and Afghanistan, with impeccably researched storytelling that shows us a world of espionage and dreamers, ne'er-do-wells and opportunists, extreme violence both personal and military, and boundless hope. At the edge of empire, amid the deserts and the mountains, it is the story of an obsession passed down the centuries.\n\n**Chosen as a Book of the Year by the Spectator, Listener and Sydney Morning Herald**

A wildly entertaining biography of the British fashion designer who set the trends for rock royalty from the Beatles to Mick Jagger to Elton John.\n\nTommy Nutter was a visionary tailor in the bespoke tradition who dressed everybody from Lord Montagu of Beaulieu to Twiggy, who outfitteds three of the Beatles for the cover of Abbey Road (George Harrison preferred jeans), who put Mick Jagger in a white suit for his wedding to Bianca and who dressed Elton John for years, using the singer as his muse for his signature outrageous style. Nutter was alluring for his ambiguity -- a chameleon who could rub shoulders with Princess Margaret and then dance with the drag queens at Last Resort -- and his clothes were the physical expression of a sharp, audacious wit.\n\nHouse of Nutter charts Tommy Nutter's dramatic career that spanned barely 23 years, ending in 1992 with his untimely death. It is a history of London during an era of economic and cultural upheaval, a celebration of the methods and traditions of Savile Row; and an elegy for what was lost during the worst days of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. \n\nWith archival access to photos, letters and interviews from Tommy Nutter's sole living relative, his brother, David, Lance Richardson takes us behind the '70s glamour to explore the public face and private life of one of Britain's most respected yet rule-breaking bespoke clothiers and the celebrities he dressed.

The story of the real 'good life' of an off-grid existence in rural Spain\n\nPaul Richardson fled the city to live on the land in a rough-and-tumble village on the edge of Europe. Immersing himself in the culture of his remote Spanish community, he learned the traditional arts of animal husbandry and vegetable growing, wine-making and home distilling, and made bread from the rye he sowed on the stone-walled terraces of his twelve-acre farm. \n\nIn prose that shimmers with wit and sensuality, the author charts his personal route-map along a road less travelled - from urban pressures to rural tranquility, and from insecurity to fulfilment. Along the way he pays tribute to the influences that have shaped his progress - from The Good Life to Henry David Thoreau, from the 1970s pioneers to self-sufficiency to his farming neighbours in the far-flung region of Extremadura. \n\nIn Richardson's hands, off-grid living both becomes an act of rebellion and a heartening proof that a simpler, better life is possible, if only we can remove ourselves from the ethos in which conspicuous consumption is a duty and success/failure the wheel on which society turns. \n\nHidden Valley is a glorious narrative of one man's journey towards self-reliance. Original and thought-provoking, it is also hugely entertaining.

Una tradizione esoterica occulta afferma che il prossimo Messia sarà donna. Ma cosa succederebbe se fosse già qui tra di noi, influenzando e cambiando il mondo senza che nessuno se ne stia accorgendo? E se ci avesse già trasmesso la sua gnosi antica? \"Fiordiluna\" è ambientato nel 1966, in una vallata inglese ben nascosta, e narra la nascita e crescita della piccola Lilith che deve imparare a essere una fanciulla terrestre prima di intraprendere la sua missione segreta come la leggendaria Lady Babalon. Questo libro non è soltanto un libro ma un lascito e Lilith non è soltanto un personaggio, ma un richiamo: il risveglio di un'energia latente in ciascuno di noi, che aspetta solo di essere invocata per compiere le sue missioni. È un'ode sovversiva alla libertà e al libero spirito femminile, contro la superstizione, l'oppressione, la mediocrità e la vergogna di essere se stessi. Il testo si chiude con le famose pagine del \"Liber 49\" di Jack Parsons.

Scritto a quattro mani da Richardson e Snellgrove (quest'ultimo allievo di quell'onnisciente tibetologo che fu Giuseppe Tucci), questo libro ha la fondata ambizione di essere una testimonianza della ricchezza e dell'intellettualità profonda della tradizione tibetana. Esso è stato scritto per essere un appello lanciato all'\"esterno\", affinché non svanisca una civiltà che rischia di essere travolta dalla marcia vorticosa di quello che l'Occidente chiama \"progresso\".

La storia della giovane e bella Pamela insidiata dal suo ricco padrone e che si conclude felicemente nel matrimonio assomiglia molto alla trama delle favole. Ma il romanzo di Richardson era intensamente innovativo rispetto alla letteratura e alla morale del tempo: la sua eroina ne usciva vittoriosa scavalcando tutte le profonde e insormontabili differenze di classe, e questo creava non pochi problemi ai benpensanti dell'epoca. Pamela è consapevole della propria inferiorità, eppure crede fermamente nel valore della virtù e la difende contro tutte le tentazioni dell'amore e del denaro. Il lettore però non può fare a meno di chiedersi se dietro tanta umiltà e castità non si nasconda anche una calcolata consapevolezza delle proprie capacità e una voglia di mettersi in mostra cercando l'approvazione incondizionata del pubblico. (Introduzione di Franco Marenco)
