Descirption: An enthralling, atmospheric new novel from the author of acclaimed debut Inherit the Bones, featuring Colorado security officer officer Gemma Monroe.
It's Halloween night in Cedar Valley. During the town's annual festival, Detective Gemma Monroe takes a break from trick or treating with her family to visit an old family friend, retired Judge Caleb Montgomery, at his law office. To Gemma's surprise, Caleb seems worried-haunted, even-and confides in her that he's been receiving anonymous threats. Shortly after, as Gemma strolls back to her car, an explosion at Caleb's office shatters the night.
Reeling from the shock, Gemma and her team begin eliminating suspects and motives, but more keep appearing in their place, and soon another man is killed.

Descirption: You feel how you eat.
We accept that the quality of our diet affects the health of our heart and liver. So why wouldn't diet - good or bad - affect the health of our brain?
This is the question that Australian scientist Felice Jacka set out to answer. Having suffered depression and anxiety as a young woman, she wanted to understand the role diet plays in our overall mental and brain health. What she found through her own research and that of other eminent scientists worldwide will revolutionise the way we think about what we eat and how we care for our brains.
<ul>Obesity and depression are two major causes of disease and disability across the globe, and each influences the other.Food does affect mood: highly processed foods increase depression risk, while a balanced, whole-food diet can prevent depression and improve mood. A healthy diet improves gut health, and in turn health microbiota (gut bacteria) promote brain health and keep our weight in check. A healthy diet improves brain performance at all ages, from school-age kids to their work-stressed parents. The Mediterranean diet is linked to lower rates of Alzheimer's disease and general cognitive decline in older people.</ul>Professor Jacka, who leads the field of Nutritional Psychiatry research globally, provides not just the most recent scientific evidence but also a range of simple, practical solutions for improving the way we eat on a daily basis, including meal plans and a range of delicious recipes.
This is not a diet book. This is a guide to the good habits that will protect your most precious organ, improve your quality of life and optimise mental and brain health across your lifespan.
'Jacka is leading the way in providing evidence-based approaches that are rooted in cutting-edge science to transform how we think about mental health.' PROFESSOR JOHN CRYAN

Descirption: Beginning with the surprise discovery of an unfinished quilt, this groundbreaking history examines slavery along the Atlantic seaboard, following the cotton that fueled New England's textile mills-and the humanity behind it.
When we think of slavery most of us think of the American South. We think of chattel slavery, of back-breaking work, and of cruel and inhumane treatment on plantations. We don't think of slavery in the North, nor do we think of urban and domestic/house slaves.
Rachel May's remarkable book sheds new light on the far reach of slavery, from New England to the Caribbean, and the role it played in the growth of mercantile America-all through the discovery of a remarkable quilt. While working in a textile archive, May opened an old box and discovered a literal treasure-trove: along with a carefully folded unfinished quilt there was a disarray of 1830s-era fabrics, crumbling papers with the dates 1798, 1808, and 1813 the words "shuger,"...

Descirption: In 1902, four years after Gustav Stickley began building furniture in his United Crafts Workshops in Eastwood, New York, his brother Leopold established his own Arts and Crafts furniture business a few miles away in Fayetteville, a suburb of Syracuse, to which he soon recruited his brother J. George. They initially used the trademark "Onondaga Shops," for the county in which it was located; by 1910 they were labeling their furniture "Handcraft."
Like their brother Gustav's designs, those of L. and J. G. Stickley include many first-rate examples of American Arts and Crafts style. This unique volume provides a comprehensive look at their early achievement, combining reprints of extremely rare copies of two sets of promotional literature from approximately 1906-09 and 1909.
The first is a handbound salesman's catalog, circa 1906-09, presenting 129 wash drawings and eight photographs of Onondaga Shops furniture. The second consists of 110 drawings of Handcraft furniture...
