What Remains?
Cloudless
'Beautiful and unflinching, Cloudless is a phenomenal debut' ANNA HOPE It is autumn 2004 and in a farmhouse on the hills outside Llandudno, a family endures the agonizing wait for their son to return from Iraq. His decision to join up has left them reeling, yet there are other pressing concerns to be met at home: the working of the farmland that has been theirs for generations and what to do with their troubled younger son. Catrin’s childhood sweetheart comes back to their small town, giving the boys’ doting mother a glimpse into the life she could have had. And John, their father, falls once more into his gambling habit, even as the farm sits on the brink of bankruptcy. As each member of the family grasps at their own tenuous lifeline, they drift further from one another – until, on a cold winter evening, there is a fateful knock at the door. Written in luminous, exquisitely calibrated prose, Cloudless is a masterful portrayal of the fragility and resilience of human connection. ‘A

Firefly Guide to Minerals, Rocks and Gems
Step-by-step Q&As with detailed colour photographs for easy identification. The Firefly Guide to Minerals, Rocks & Gems is designed for easy and reliable identification of minerals, gems and rocks. Beginning with the stone's colour and any streak, and using a sequence of straightforward questions and answers - aided by 1,300 photographs and drawings - it's easy to narrow down the possibilities among 350 minerals, gems and rocks to the conclusive classification. The book organizes the rocks by colour: Blue, Red, Yellow, Brown, Green, Black, and White. Identification begins with noting the colour of the rock's streak (i.e., vein, line). Identification is then further narrowed down with respect to Colour, Crystal form, Hardness, Lustre, Density, Cleavage, Break and Tenacity. Each rock's main photograph shows the general or typical view, and identification tips about features are noted in the margins of the respective page. Similar stones are presented for comparison and tips are provided

Ljusets Stad - Hur Det Moderna Paris Skapades
»Elegant, lärd och informativ [...] Christiansens bok kommer få dig att vilja upptäcka Paris» /»New York Times Book Review» »Om du är på väg till Paris, se till att packa ner Ljusets stad.» /»Sunday Times» Under artonhundratalets senare hälft var Paris i färd med att bli en storstädernas storstad och en symbol för modernitet och konsumtion, överflöd och utsatthet. Själva det fysiska stadsrummet förvandlades påtagligt på bara några decennier när det medeltida gyttret av byggnader successivt ersattes med stora huskroppar längs med breda och raka gator, boulevarder. Denna förvandling brukar förknippas med Georges-Eugène Haussmann (ofta kallad Baron Haussmann), som formellt var prefekt för Seine men fick extraordinära befogenheter av kejsar Napoleon III. Mycket av det som vi idag uppfattar som typiskt parisiskt var ett resultat av Haussmanns på sin tid ofta omstridda förändringsiver. Kulturskribenten och Pariskännaren Rupert Christiansen låter oss följa den här förvandlingen på nära håll och visar hur en rad konkreta faktorer, inklusive Napoleon III:s excentricitet och Haussmanns renlighetsiver, kom att påverka slutresultatet. Men han lyfter också fram de politiska, demografiska och ekonomiska processer som hade betydelse i sammanhanget, Paris var inte minst en stad med starka sociala spänningar. Historiska förlopp rymmer ofta motsägelser - och det gör omvandlingen av städer också.. Rupert Christiansen är kritiker och författare. Sedan 1997 är han medlem av Royal Society of Literature.
