The Wicked Among Us
Atop the Ozark Mountains and in the buckle of the Bible Belt, the murder of an eccentric lawyer reveals a tragic family drama and an examination of a community that would rather see some crimes left unsolved. Rolland Comstock lived in what was described as “a Grimm Fairy tale.” With his pet wolves roving the estate and a world-famous book collection to obsess over, Rolland was no ordinary country lawyer. When he was murdered, Rolland’s story turned into a tragic mystery—a mystery some in the community did not want to see solved. This intimate true crime tale not only seeks to resolve the question of who killed this man but also to examine his life as well. Beneath his quirky personality, there were secrets and turmoil at odds with the ultra-conservative community Rolland called home. Some were wicked enough to say Rolland got what he deserved. The Wicked Among Us is a legal thriller from the perspective of a tragic victim who can no longer tell the story himself.

The Cornovii
The Cornovii are one of the less well-known tribes of Roman Britain. Situated on the fringes of the civilian zone of the Province, they emerged only slowly from a pre- Roman background which is still largely unknown to us. Their territory, centered on Shropshire but extending into Staffordshire, Herefordshire and parts of Cheshire, and Worcestershire, was constantly traversed by the Roman army. Even when a civilian administration was finally established, with a capital city at Wroxeter, the army was never far away, and it had a profound effect on the development of the new civitas. Written and later updated by the late eminent archaeologist Graham Webster, this is a classic study that continues to resonate to this day.
The Queen and the Mistress
‘Hollman combines scrupulous research with spellbinding storytelling; The Queen and the Mistress will keep you turning the pages.’ - Sylvia Barbara Soberton, author of Ladies-In-Waiting: The Women Who Served Anne Boleyn‘A must-read for anyone interested in medieval women’s or royal history.’ - Catherine Hanley, author of Matilda: Empress, Queen, WarriorPHILIPPA OF HAINAULT was Queen of England for forty-one years. Her marriage to Edward III when they were both teenagers was more political transaction than romantic wedding, but it would turn into a partnership of deep affection. The mother of twelve children, she was the perfect medieval queen: pious, unpolitical and fiercely loyal to both her king and adopted country. Alice Perrers entered court as a young widow and would soon catch the eye of an ageing king whose wife was dying. Born to a family of London goldsmiths, this charismatic and highly intelligent woman would use her position as the king’s favourite to build up her own portfolio of land, wealth and prestige, only to see it all come crashing down as Edward himself neared death. The Queen and the Mistress is a story of female power and passion, and how two very different women used their skills and charms to navigate a tumultuous royal court – and win the heart of the same man.
The Intertidal Zone
Where the land meets the sea, life clings to the margins in a world of relentless change. The intertidal zone is a place of extremes-where creatures endure crashing waves, scorching sun, and the constant ebb and flow of the tides. It is a place of resilience and adaptation and home to some of the most extraordinary organisms on the planet. Blending marine biology, oceanography, and evolutionary science, marine biologist Ruth Searle takes us on a journey through the deep history of the intertidal zone - from its ancient origins as the possible cradle of life to the remarkable adaptations of the species that inhabit it today. Exploring the geological forces that shape coastlines, the mechanics of tides and waves, and the evolutionary arms race that has unfolded on the shore, this book reveals how the intertidal has not only survived mass extinctions but has driven some of nature's most extraordinary innovations. The Intertidal Zone: Life on the Edge is a celebration of one of Earth's most dynamic ecosystems - its beauty, its mysteries, and its fragility. As climate change and human activity reshape coastlines across the planet, understanding the intertidal has never been more urgent.

Black Bear
A dazzling memoir about one woman's coexistence with bears in the boreal forest and a singular meditation on sibling loss. When Trina Moyles was five years old, her father, a wildlife biologist known in Peace River as "the bear guy," brought home an orphaned black bear cub for a night before sending it to the Calgary Zoo. This brief but unforgettable encounter spurred Trina’s lifelong fascination with Ursus americanus—the most populous bear on the northern landscape, often considered a nuisance to human society. As a child roaming the shores of the Peace in the footsteps of her beloved older brother, Brendan, she understood bears to be invisible entities: always present but mostly hidden and worthy of respect. Growing up during the oil boom of the 1990s, the threats in the siblings' hard-drinking resource town were more human, dividing them from a natural reverence for the land, and eventually, from each other. After years of working for human rights organizations, Trina returned to northern Alberta for a job as a fire tower lookout, while Brendan worked in the oil sands, vulnerable to a boom-and-bust economy and substance addiction. When she was assigned to a tower in a wildlife corridor, bears were alarmingly visible and plentiful, wandering metres away on the other side of an electrified fence surrounding the tower. Over four summers, Trina begins to move beyond fear and observe the extraordinary essence of the maligned black bear—a keystone species who is as subject to the environmental consequences of the oil economy as humans. At the same time, she searches for common ground with Brendan on the land that bonded them. Impassioned and eloquent, Black Bear is a story of grief and a vision of peaceful coexistence in a divided world. It captures the fragility of our relationships with human and nonhuman species alike, and the imperative to protect the wild—along with the people we hold closest.

To the Forest God, Basuin is nothing more than one of the men sent to burn her forest down. Betrayed by humans too many times, she rejects him, working alone to protect the spirits of the forest as her home disappears around her. To save the god he is growing to love, Basuin must untangle the feelings between them. Otherwise, they''ll burn together.
