She takes her time, kissing my neck. . . . I pull her closer, and I say, Bite me.” In the mists of the Scottish Highlands is a university where vampires study alongside humans. Rebecca Charity is a vampire hunter undercover at the university, searching for the mysterious Book of Blood and Roses, a lost compendium of ways to kill vampires. If she finds it, she’ll be one step closer to avenging her parents, who were slain by those creatures of the night. But when Rebecca arrives, she finds something unexpected: a coffin. Her new roommate is Aliz Astra, scion of one of the most powerful vampire families . . . and the most beautiful woman Rebecca has ever met. The maddeningly gorgeous Aliz is everything that Rebecca has always hated but also everything she’s ever wanted, and now Rebecca doesn’t know if she wants to kiss or kill her. When one moonlit night Aliz rescues her from a vampire attack, she accidentally makes Rebecca her Familiar. Now they must work together to break the curse—but as they get closer to solving the mystery, Rebecca and Aliz get closer, too. Can a vampire hunter ever fall in love with a vampire? ★ “[A] sexy and exhilarating debut . . .

An exceptional Scottish debut, Fetch stands out for its formal dexterity, linguistic hybridity and playfulness - Bramwell takes the lyric seriously, but not too seriously. In Celtic folklore a fetch is a shadowy doppelganger that appears from the Otherworld, portending the beholder's fate. Your fetch 'fetches' you to the afterlife, willingly or otherwise. Bramwell's poetry uses the fetch as a model to explore a number of overlapping binaries - between the reader and the poem, most of all. Fetch also meditates on the differences between music and speech, the sacred and the profane, the written and the real, humanity and nature, Scots and English. Incorporating multitudes of modes, forms, registers and subjects, Bramwell converses with the Anglo-Celtic lyric tradition in our own time and in his own distinctively amiable fashion. In other words, this poet takes poetry seriously--but not too seriously.Fetch is a tour-de-force debut from one of Britain's most exciting new poets, in which reverence and irreverence, religion and faithlessness, the living and the dead, nearly rhyme.

WHEN A CHILD DISAPPEARS, NO SECRET IS SAFE . . . *THE TIMES THRILLER OF THE MONTH* 'This is McIlvanney at his masterful best' - DAILY MAIL 'A moving and absorbing dive into grief and love, and how far a parent would go to save their child' - OBSERVER 'Fascinating, moving, disturbing, and surely Liam McIlvanney's best novel to date' - SCOTSMAN 'Heart-stopping and heart-rending, this is Liam McIlvanney's best novel yet' VAL MCDERMID THE POIGNANT AND BRILLIANTLY CLEVER NEW PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLER FROM AWARD-WINNING CRIME AUTHOR, LIAM McILVANNEY. Gordon and Sarah Rutherford are normal, happy people with rich, fulfilling lives. They have a son they adore, a house on the beach and a safe, friendly community in a picture-postcard town. Until, one day, Bonnie the labrador comes in from the beach alone. Their son, Rory, has gone - the only trace left behind is a single black sandal. Their lives don't fall apart immediately. While there's still hope, they dig deep and try to carry on. But as desperation mounts, arms around shoulders become fingers pointed - at friends, family, strangers, each other. Without any answers, only questions remain. Who can they trust? How far will they go to find out what happened to Rory? And the deadliest question of all: what could be worse than your child disappearing? When the truth begins to emerge, they find themselves in a world they could barely have imagined. 'Beautifully written, this is easily one of the finest crime novels I've read in a very long time' C.M. EWAN

Unlock the Past. Protect Your Project. Master English Heritage Law.

England's landscape is a literal treasure trove. From Roman architecture to Saxon artefacts and medieval burial grounds, the soil is dense with the remnants of successive civilisations.

But for developers, landowners, and legal professionals, unearthing history can instantly bring modern progress to a grinding halt. How do you mediate the inherent tension between lucrative land development and the strict preservation of cultural heritage? In English law, there is no single rulebook. Instead, professionals are forced to navigate a complex, fragmented maze of common law principles and statutory "treasure" provisions.

Don't let a historic discovery become a modern legal disaster. This essential guide is your practical, on-the-ground roadmap. Designed to point you in the right direction, it cuts through the legal jargon so you can quickly identify causes of action and confidently advise. Inside, you will discover how to successfully navigate:
Development Roadblocks: A birds eye view of planning obstacles when building on, or near, historic sites and listed buildings and some suggested matters to consider
Treasure &amp; Artifacts: Master the rules of recovery and ownership for unearthing art, artefacts, and treasure (and how to present them for public enjoyment).
Wrecks &amp; Ruins: Understand the highly specific, strict laws governing marine salvage and military remains.
Human Remains: Confidently manage the legally complex and sensitive issues surrounding bodies, body parts, and "ownership."
Cultural Institutions: Leverage the critical role of galleries and museums in heritage preservation.



Suitable for a conveyancer, developer, local government lawyer, surveyor, or a heritage enthusiast looking to understand the bare bones.

A Practical Guide to Archaeology, Heritage and its Interaction with the Law in England and Wales

Antique Hunter's Series

The third novel in the “delightful, page-turning” (Tom Ryan, USA TODAY bestselling author) Antique Hunter Series finds Freya, Aunt Carole, and friends searching for a missing colleague in picturesque Scotland. Hot on the heels of an art forger, a member of the Lockwood Antique Hunter’s Agency disappears while investigating an isolated castle deep in Scottish countryside. Freya and Aunt Carole race to her last known location and arrive in the wintry, snow-covered Scottish Borders. At the castle, they discover that a murdered laird in the vegetable garden and his priceless collection of silverware has been stolen. Local police believe Freya’s missing team member was involved with the robbery and murder...but where is she now? As a snowstorm descends on the castle, Freya and Carole call in back-up to help uncover what happened that fateful night. As each question is met with more mystery, the clock is ticking to find their friend and the murderer before they are cut off from the outside world. Another delightfully gripping and endearing mystery, the Antique Hunter’s Series provides “great characters, great story, and you’re always eager for the next one” (Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants).

The Antique Hunter's Murder at the Castle

'A feast for mind and soul, a treasure trove of insights into the enigmatic and enchanting world of the birds we share our lives with but barely notice. I have learnt so much. Every page is a thrill. Bird Schoolhas opened my eyes' Isabella Tree, author of WildingStep into the hide for a glorious new encounter with the British wildClose to Adam Nicolson's home in Sussex, there is a forgotten field overrun by bracken and thicketed by brambles. It is the haunt of deer and many birds - nightingales, the occasional cuckoo, ravens, robins, owls and in summer the sweet-singing warblers that come north from Africa to breed in English woods.This gorgeous book charts his attempt to encounter birds, to engage with a marvellous layer of life he had previously almost ignored. He wanted to look and listen, to return to 'bird school' and see what it might teach him.He built a small shed amongst the trees with nesting boxes and bird feeders. Cocooned inside, season after season, he got to know the birds: where they nest, how they sing, how they mate and fight, what preys on them, what they are like as living things.Beautifully written and woven through with philosophy, literature, science and a sense of wonder, always conscious that that this is an age in which the natural world is under siege, Bird Schoolpulls back the curtain on seemingly ordinary birds, taking a long, careful and concerned look at our relationship with the wild.'Golden threads of literary, philosophical and scientific insight run through Nicolson's book, along with a sense that we are embarking on an adventure with him into a realm that we cannot hope to fully understand'THE TIMES'A worthy addition to a literary lineage that stretches back to the 18th-century writer and naturalist Gilbert White...Bird School, then, is a fitting title: we should learn to rekindle our enduring love affair with birds, before they vanish from our sight'DAILY TELEGRAPH

National Bureau of Economic Research Conference Report

A wide-ranging collection of research examining the intricate economics of place-based policies. After decades of skepticism about place-based policies, recent initiatives such as Opportunity Zones and elements of the Inflation Reduction Act signal renewed policy interest in targeting economically distressed areas. This volume surveys empirical findings from the US and Europe on the effectiveness of these policies, explores new theoretical rationales for geographic targeting, and examines the institutional contexts that shape policy design and implementation. The contributors evaluate major place-based initiatives and consider nontraditional approaches to supporting regional economies, including large-scale industrial interventions, public employment reallocation, and economic development on Native American reservations. This collection is not limited to empirical policy impact evaluations as it takes a broader-ranging perspective. The contributors present evaluation evidence while also emphasizing the features, implementation processes, and institutional settings that shape policy effectiveness. They address critical questions such as: What new insights from economic theory can inform the design of place-based policies? What lessons from past policies are reflected--or ignored--in current approaches? How does US policymaking compare with European practices, and what takeaways can be derived from the comparison of the two? The Economics of Place-Based Policies provides policymakers with evidence-based guidance on the design of effective interventions while offering researchers a comprehensive foundation for future study of how public policy can address geographic economic disparities.
