'Eleanor Oliphant meets About a Boy' — Gillian Harvey 'A
beautiful read full of heart and depth’ — Nina Pottell, Prima
Magazine Funny, heart-warming and life-affirming. Swimming for
Beginners will show you how a child can open your heart even if you
aren't a mother. Loretta has her life under control. She's chasing
a big promotion, she's marrying the "perfect man" and she has a
flawless five-year plan. This plan does not include children. But
when a complete stranger asks her to watch her six-year-old
daughter in an airport and never returns, both their lives will be
changed forever. This little human in fairy wings and sparkly
cowgirl boots will turn Loretta's world upside down and maybe, just
maybe, show her exactly what she's missing. Overflowing with humour
and heartbreak, Nicola Gill takes us on a relatable journey of
self-discovery through the power of a child's love. Early praise
for Nicola Gill: 'Brilliantly funny, incredibly touching and so
relatable.’- Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City ‘Please
meet my new favourite book.' - Jessica Ryn, author of The
Extraordinary Hope of Dawn Brightside 'Heartbreaking and
life-affirming, an absolute must read’ - Tim Ewins, author of We
Are Animals
In the summer of 1957, anxious to impress an admirer who had moved
to Paris, while rebelling against her family, Gill Johnson, aged
twenty-five, gave up her comfortable job at the National Gallery in
London and travelled to Venice to take up a job teaching English to
an aristocratic Italian family. Love from Venice is her vivid
evocation of that summer, the last hurrah of the European Grand
Tour, when the international jet set lit upon the city for their
fun. Johnson describes (including through original letters written
to her love in Paris) her life flitting from palazzo to Lido to
palazzo, and how her feelings for him grow, while she becomes
absorbed into the social whirl of the super-rich. It is a moving
and witty memoir of a young woman coming to terms with her own
feelings and destiny, and learning about different aspects of love
from the people she meets, all set in high-season Venice in a
halcyon time. By the end, Johnson discovers if the scabrous
excesses of fabulous wealth can divert the course of true love.

water. He wishes he was special like them, until the day he

strengths, even if they’re wetter than we’d like them to be!
This accessible Handbook provides an essential entry point for
those with an interest in the increasingly complex subject of
financial decision-making. It sheds light on new paradigms in
society and the ways that new tools from private actors have
affected financial decision-making. Covering a broad range of key
topics in the area, leading researchers summarise the state of the
art in their respective areas of expertise, delineating their
projections for the future. Chapters cover both more traditional
fields, such as regulation and the role of analysts, and emerging
fields, such as artificial intelligence, neurofinance and
robo-advising. Organised into three sections, the Handbook first
deals with the natural and environmental factors that impact
financial decision-making, before moving on to examine the
institutions, frameworks, and tools created for the purpose of
aiding the decision-making process. It concludes by looking at
financial advisors, household finance and enabling financial
decision-making. This Handbook will be of great value to scholars
and researchers invested in the fields of finance, economic
psychology, business management and development. Its comprehensive
introduction to current research in accounting and finance
alongside multiple topics on technology and decision-making will be
invaluable for practitioners, policy makers and regulators too.

Post-apocalyptic thriller starring Laurence Fishburne, Kevin Zegers
and Bill Paxton. An attempt to compensate for the Earth being
affected by global warming results in a technological hiccup which
turns the planet's surface into one great snowy expanse. The few
remaining survivors, who are now holed up in underground bunkers
trying to find a solution to the meteorological disaster, are
confronted with difficult living conditions and the ever present
threat of extinction. Colony 7, which is led by the benevolent and
world-weary Briggs (Fishburne), receives a distress call from the
nearby Colony 5 and Briggs recruits a team to traverse the frozen
landscape and help their fellow survivors. However, when they
arrive, they realise that the distress call is part of a much
bigger problem when they find that Colony 5 is under attack from a
group of crazed cannibals who have turned against their kin in the
hope of surviving the seemingly perpetual winter...
Triple bill of zombie films. 'Zombie Apocalypse' (2011) is a
made-for-TV horror starring Ving Rhames in which a group of human
survivors of a zombie outbreak set out to make it to an uninfected
island. Ramona (Taryn Manning), Billy (Eddie Steeples) and Kevin
(Gerald Webb) are almost killed when they head out to search for
food. Fortunately for them, they meet a tough group that includes
Henry (Rhames) and Cassie (Lesley-Ann Brandt), who take on the
zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team
of Secret Service agents to the area to try and contain the
disaster. There is a suggestion that Lincoln may have some
experience of dealing with zombies from his past and he takes under
his wing a youngster by the name of Teddy Roosevelt (Canon
Kuipers), who may have a role of his own to play in the American
story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.
Robert Freeman stars as Lieutenant Brian Murphy, a military
engineer who finds himself stranded in the wilderness of Burkina
Faso after a zombie outbreak lays waste to civilisation. Eventually
he teams up with Sergeant Daniel Dembele (Prince David Oseia), a
local soldier who has gone AWOL from the army to search for his
missing son.
In endocrine pathology, surgical pathologists often concentrate on
neoplasms at the expense of nonneoplastic disease processes. This
is unfortunate as nonneoplastic endocrine disorders are many times
more common in the population. As in all fields of medicine,
nonneoplastic endocrine diseases can closely mimic the neoplastic;
an awareness of all aspects of pathology underpins routine clinical
practice. This Fifth Series Fascicle offers pathologists and
clinicians an opportunity to develop an increased understanding of
nontumor endocrine pathology in order to inform patient care.

This dark romantic comedy is the debut feature for director Yann
Samuell. The film follows the intimate but twisted relationship
between two would-be lovers, Julien (Guillaume Canet) and Sophie
(Marion Cotillard), who first meet as eight-year-olds in
inauspicious circumstances: Julien's mother is dying, while Sophie
is suffering ferocious bullying at school. When Julien plays a
practical joke on the children who are picking on Sophie, a close
friendship evolves between the two, which is based on an ongoing
game of dares and forfeits. As they grow older, the game
increasingly becomes a power struggle as they use it to torment and
embarrass each other - but could it really be an elaborate cover
for the deep affection they hold for one another?
