Redheads have always attracted attention – desired, envied, pitied, ridiculed, even persecuted.Now the sacrifices begin…In 1921, in the ruined city of Carthage near Tunis, a red-haired French archaeologist hears the cries of long-dead children as he stumbles upon a legendary sacrificial site. Shortly afterwards, he is viciously attacked by a hawk.Back in present-day London, flame-haired journalist Rebecca Burns investigates strange and macabre events which seem to be directed against redheads worldwide. Amidst all this the mysterious and chilling Dr Neferatu makes his appearance…with Rebecca as his prey. Helped by young astrophysicist Dr Jim Cavendish and Professor Larry Burton, an authority on ancient civilisations, Rebecca resolutely pursues her story from North Africa to Easter Island and finally to Scotland with its magnificent Neolithic monuments dedicated to the sun and the moon. Together they are drawn into an age-old feud…a feud that threatens the very existence of redheads everywhere.Redhead, which is inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein, will appeal to fans of science fiction as well as to redheads and their admirers.

Understanding Statistics

This story covers fifty six years of maritime history, from the last six months of the Second World War until the year 2002. In December 1944, a young Scot began a seagoing career with one of Britain's oldest shipping companies, Alfred Holt &. Company, the Blue Funnel Line of Liverpool, which took him around the globe to many remote places. From the Molucca Islands in Indonesia; to Matadi, one hundred miles up the Congo in Africa; to the creeks and thousand islands of Burma and Thailand; to New York, Sydney, Tokyo, Hamburg; Broome in West Australia; Jeddah in Saudi Arabia; to Shanghai, Yokohama and to little known parts of North Borneo; around the Pacific Islands and finally to New Zealand. After fourteen years at sea, he began a new career as a marine pilot, which lasted for forty two years, piloting ships in Penang Malaysia, three New Zealand harbours and in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Fifty six years after boarding his first ship, Ian retired from the position of Harbour Master/Pilot in the port of Gisborne, Poverty Bay; where his namesake Captain James Cook first set foot on New Zealand soil. During this long and varied career, Ian experienced North Atlantic convoys in wartime, a hurricane off the coast of Florida, survived three hours in shark infested waters in Lagos, Nigeria, witnessed a murder in the Celebes and tracked a tiger in Malaysia . He played golf in unusual circumstances, with the sound of machineguns and mortar fire coming from an attack by Karen rebels in Moulmein, Burma, and in Labuan, North Borneo, found himself in the middle of an American 'invasion'.

Ian Cook et al

Doing Ethnographies is an introductory and applied guide to ethnographic methods. It focuses on those methods - participant observation, interviewing, focus groups, and video/photographic work - that allow us to understand the lived, everyday world. Informed by the authors' fieldwork experience, the book covers the relation between theory, practice and writing, and demonstrates how methods work in the field, so preparing the first-time ethnographer for the loss of control and direction often experienced.

This highly regarded textbook covers all the main A Level Chemistry specifications.

A-Level Chemistry

This book is the first book that looks at both the politics of maintaining the trajectory toward humanity’s final hundred years and the politics of those final hundred years. It is the first book to take up theoretical and practical aspects with respect to both the movement toward and events during these final hundred years. As a result, it is the first book that attempts to provide a more complete picture of the politics of catastrophic human-caused environment change. The fact that the book provides a way into the variety of policy problems that catastrophic human-caused environment change is creating means that it is also important to those in Public Policy. The book also raises a series of philosophical and ethical questions associated with human rights, which are significant to those who study Political Philosophy (and some of those who study Law), international action to mitigate the effects of climate change, the nature of science and the limitations of political institutions.
