In an opulent villa near the English Channel lives a family. The father has a safe, a spanner, a candle and a maid called Rose. The son has a swing, a croquet set, a raincoat, a car. Some members of the family read crime novels to fall asleep (the father), some instead of sleeping (the son), and some to ease the loneliness of an unhappy marriage (the mother). Their equilibrium is shattered in the wake of a shocking incident and the twenty minutes of silence that follow. Darkly comedic and wonderfully strange, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a truly original take on the crime genre, inspired by a true story. Here Helene Bessette builds a world of intrigue, a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new.

What constituted a secret or a scandal in times gone by? This entertaining title in this new series gives an overview of the times and attitudes to secrets, and what was meant by a scandal. The series uncovers revelations of spies and plots, financial scandals, secrets of the royal bedchambers, dynastic tangles, and the exploits of both villains and so-called saints. Noble lords and ladies sampled the same pleasures and sometimes met the same ghastly fate as common criminals. Enemies of the state plotted and were plotted against, while a horrible fate awaited those found guilty of treason, hanged, drawn and quartered to the jeers of the mob. Assassins lurked in alleys, ghoulish body snatchers opened graves in the dead of night This highly illustrated guide includes places associated with the stories.

Tuco nunca foi exatamente um exemplo de maturidade: vive sustentado pelos pais, é um tanto inconsequente e ainda acha que "já fiz catequese aos 13" conta como bagagem espiritual. Mas tudo muda quando ele conhece Saramaria, estudante de serviço social, filha de pastor e dona de um senso de humor to preciso quanto inesperado. O problema? Para impressiona-la, Tuco decide fingir que e crente. E dai começa o desastre anunciado. Entre cultos de jovens que coincidem com finais de campeonato, oraçes que ele obviamente no domina e uma avalanche de novos amigos da igreja, Tuco descobre que sustentar um personagem da mais trabalho do que simplesmente colocar Romanos 8 na bio do Insta.

At this dead hour of the morning, the lorry park is deserted. It is a bitterly cold night, with rain falling and an edge of snow, and under the sickly yellow lighting the great lorries and tarpaulined trailers are dark and bulky as huddled beasts. For the last six months, Callan has been spending nights looting the lorries for their precious cargos - and its all been going well. But this fateful evening something will change, and Callan will find himself at the heart of a murder, and DCI Kelso Strang finds himself at the heart of the investigation .

This new translation of the best stories by Ichiyo Higuchi showcases the pioneering authors profound sensitivity and lyrical eye. The crystalline beauty of falling snow is a painful reminder of lost innocence; three children growing up on the fringes of Tokyos red-light district enjoy a last summer of freedom before adulthood and its compromises overtake them; a discontented serving maid and a prodigal son find their transgressions can be mutually beneficial; and a mans passion for an indifferent teahouse courtesan becomes so consuming that he is willing to sacrifice everything to it - his job, his family, perhaps even his life. Rarely translated into English, but revered in Japan for the purity of her classical language and her status as the countrys first professional woman writer, Ichiyo Higuchi drew on her own short life in a poor Tokyo neighbourhood to inspire her work. With immense delicacy of phrase and feeling, and vivid evocations of the colourful festivals and salty street banter that mask unspoken yearning and disappointed hopes, she transmits both the beauty and the struggle of working-class womens lives in turn-of-the-century Japan. In her clear-eyed vision of the world, longing and memory may be the only solace.

In 2019, it looked like the electoral map of Britain had been changed for ever, with once solidly Labour constituencies voting Conservative for the first time. An epochal realignment seemed to be in train that saw the Conservative electoral coalition become much more northern and working class and Labour depending more on middle-class voters in the south. Only a few years later, the realignment lies in ruins.The Red Wall has returned to Labour, and its clear 2019 was a blip. Tories are now jostling amongst themselves to be seen as the heirs to Thatcher. Its almost like the promise of change and levelling up was a fever dream as political parties and voters revert to type.What happened? And what can be done? The Conservatives made a big promise to Red Wall voters in 2019, speaking openly about first-time Conservative voters lending their support and promising that this trust wouldnt be forgotten. They swept the Red Wall with a promise of big economic change.In reality, that was quickly forgotten and the realignment was put in the too-difficult box, in favour of Thatcherite cosplaying that appealed to a tiny core of Tory members but didnt address the real problems the country faced. But the politics behind it cannot be ignored.This book will address what went wrong with the so-called realignment and what needs to be done to revive it.

Recovering Timeless Leadership Vision for Contemporary Challenges Successful leadership needs more than top-down strategic plans and lofty vision statements. Real leadership happens at the intersection of a leaders inner life with the outer expression of care for their organization and the communities it serves. To find sustainable paths of leadership, we can look to reliable guidance from those whose legacy has stood the test of time.Tried and True offers a unique convergence of the decades of leadership experience of authors Margaret Diddams and Shirley Mullen with a historical exploration of John Wesleys life and leadership. Informed by their personal and professional journeys in both higher education and corporate consulting, Diddams and Mullen provide a comprehensive and practical study of John Wesleys leadership practices and his holistic view of leadership that transformed not just his immediate community but the shape of church history.In Tried and True, Diddams and Mullen speak to todays leadership fatigue with a focus on sustainable, character-driven leadership; revive John Wesleys timeless leadership practices for modern challenges; and integrate inner character with outward community impact for a vision of sustainable leadership. offer a hopeful vision for todays leaders and the communities they serve. The three attributes of surrender, stewardship, and servanthood provide a dynamic framework for leaders as they navigate the tensions and paradoxes of leadership. As leaders seek to be faithful to their calling, they will find that even as God is inspiring them to lead, he is also using the work itself to form them more closely to the image of Christ.This book doesnt offer the latest leadership fad or a "silver bullet" solution. It calls leaders back to what has stood the test of timea sustainable, countercultural path of leadership that not only transforms organizations and cultures, but also opens leaders themselves to the Spirits deep work of transformation.

Tracks: A Journey Through Metroland tells the story of Metroland and the development of suburbia that grew alongside the Metropolitan Railway. Originally the brainchild of eminent Victorians, the Metropolitan grew to become the queen of underground lines, eventually expanding to a point some fifty miles outside London. Author Kevin J. Last describes how the concept of Metroland was an aspiration for several levels of society, promising a better lifestyle well away from the deprivations of wartime. The idea that the working man could live comfortably outside the smoke in individually designed houses would mean that he could also thrive at work, largely due to the regular service offered by the new railway. This was quite exceptional in that, while nominally an underground line, most of the Mets route was above ground and, in length, went far beyond other similar lines, far out into the Buckinghamshire countryside. Not marked on any map, Metroland is as much a concept of the mind as a real place.

In volume 1, Professor Verdon sought to identify what crippled social anthropologys original project, that of understanding sociocultural variability. He found its cause in a universal, Aristotelian cosmology that renders groups ontologically variable to their principles of social organization, by defining them in terms of behaviour regulation. In this second volume, he develops a cure to that cosmological malaise: to define groups outside all behaviour regulation, and to define a separate group for every type of activity (unifunctional groups). From these two new cosmological requirements he sets out to define all the main concepts of social anthropology in what he calls an operational language (defined with respect to anthropologys aims, not as entities with intrinsic anthropological attributes): groups, corporations, descent, territoriality, lineages, segmentation, sovereignty and so on.He then applies this language to translate classical ethnographies operationally. He first chose the most famous ethnographies of so-called segmentary lineage societies, the Nuer (Sudan), Tallensi (Ghana) and Tiv (Nigeria), and then added the Berbers from the Rif (Morocco), the Yao (Malawi) and Australian Aborigines. All those societies were described as having descent groups. Translated operationally, ONLY ONE of them retains descent groups (the Tallensi). This leads him radically to transform the ethnographic landscape of social anthropology. Where all ethnographers saw descent groups almost everywhere, he finds them to be rare occurrences, now replaced with clientelistic social formations.Overall, setting out to define a set of etic (objective) concepts, he discovers that this language actually yields much better emic approaches to social organization (an approach closer to the actors subjective experience).
