'One of my all-time favorite fun mysteries' 'It's perfect for
curling up by the fire or under a blanket with a hot drink' 'So
much fun! Loved it!!!!!' Ellie Christie is more than ready for a
new chapter. She's always dreamed of running her family's historic
bookshop, the Book Chalet, with her sister Meg, and after the last
few years, returning to Last Word - a peaceful, Swiss-style hamlet
nestled in the Colorado mountains and accessible only by ski
gondola - seems like the perfect solution. And it is, until a
deadly blizzard blows through, and a man is found dead on the
gondola. Conditions worsen as the police open their investigation,
and soon the town is left stranded with a murderer in their midst.
Ellie and Meg may not actually be related to their favourite
novelist, but they do know a lot about solving mysteries and when
the police start to close in on their friends, the Christies decide
to act before the killer turns the page one last time . . . Cosy up
and escape to the Colorado mountains in this witty, addictive and
unputdownable series debut. Fans of Agatha Christie, Victoria
Walters and Fiona Leitch will be hooked from the very first page.
Readers LOVE Dead and Gondola: 'The perfect rain-day read . . . I
couldn't turn the pages fast enough!' 'I tore through this . . . I
loved it! So cozy!' 'I absolutely loved DEAD AND GONDOLA! Last Word
is a charming ski town, and the Book Chalet is a place I'd love to
spend an afternoon' 'This is a fabulous start to a new cozy series.
I LOVE the setting' 'A must read!' 'This book has everything I love
in a cozy mystery'
Sisters Ellie and Meg Christie share a love of books, reading, and
the Book Chalet - their family's historic bookshop tucked midway up
a scenic Colorado mountain. But romance? That's another story. So
when their cousin signs them up for her newest business venture -
matchmaking based on bookish tastes - the sisters approach their
blind double dates with foot-dragging dread. And while Ellie's date
meets her low expectations, Meg's match, a book-loving romantic
straight out of classic literature, is a charming surprise . . . .
. . until he turns up murdered the next morning. As the last known
person to have seen the victim alive, Meg becomes a prime suspect
in his death and soon the sisters must sift through secrets deeper
than the February snowfall and once again summon their inner Miss
Marple to sleuth out the truth before it's too late. The Christie
sisters are back and this time they're flirting with cold-hearted
crime when bookish matchmaking turns into a date with death.
Perfect for fans of Victoria Walters and Fiona Leitch. Readers LOVE

This book describes cutting-edge applications of human factors for
sport and outdoor recreation disciplines and provides practical
guidance on a range of methods for describing, representing, and
evaluating human, team, and system performance in sports domains.
Contributions in this book show how various human factors methods,
applied historically in the complex safety critical domains, are
suited to describing and understanding sports performance and
sports injury prevention. The book discusses a wealth of methods
for different purposes, such as data collection, task analysis
(including cognitive task analysis), workload measurement,
assessing situation awareness, performance assessment (including
team performance assessment), decision making and cognition in
sports, human error identification, and interface evaluation
methods. With respect to other publications in human factors and
ergonomics, which have been more focused on the biomechanical,
physiological, environmental, and equipment-related aspects of
sports performance, this book gives a special emphasis to research
on analysis of individual and team sports, cognitive and social
human factors, and covers both sports and outdoor recreation
disciplines. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on
Human Factors in Sports and Outdoor Recreation, held on July 27-31,
2016, in Walt Disney World (R), Florida, USA, this book provides
readers with a timely survey of new methods that can be implemented
during any sport or outdoor recreation event for analyzing and
improving the performance and safety of both individuals and teams.

The provocative and often comic Belgian art duo Jos de Gruyter and
Harald Thys present in book form their collaborative contribution
to the 2019 Venice Biennale The Belgian artists Jos de Gruyter (b.
1965) and Harald Thys (b. 1966) have collaborated for more than two
decades on artworks in a variety of media, including film,
photography, drawing, painting, and sculpture; they are known for
thought-provoking works, often imbued with an antic sense of humor.
The pair was selected to represent Belgium at the 2019 Venice
Biennale, and this book accompanies and documents their exhibit,
also titled Mondo Cane. The book is composed of a series of
original, illustrated texts, written alternately in English,
French, German, Dutch, and Italian. The texts are intended to evoke
a variety of human conditions in an environment reminiscent of
present-day Europe. Its title refers to a 1962 Italian film that
documented-in a style intended to provoke Western
audiences-cultural practices from around the world. Lavishly
illustrated and designed by the artists themselves, this book both
reflects de Gruyter and Thys's contribution to the Venice Biennale
and is a work of art in its own right. Distributed for

Das Buch ist eine ethnographische Studie uber die Entstehung
rechtsorientierter Jugendcliquen. Es beschreibt die subjektiven,
kollektiven und gesellschaftlichen Mechanismen, die "normale"
Jugendliche zu fremdenfeindlichen und gewaltbereiten Tatern
macht.
Wie gesellschaftliche Widerspruche und nationale Diskurse das
Handeln der Jugendlichen beeinflusst, stellt die Autorin mit Hilfe
des Modells des Sozialen Dramas sowie der Symbol- und Ritualtheorie
des Kulturanthropologen Victor Turners dar.

Many agricultural entrepreneurs are confronted by the continuing
spread of urbanisation on the one hand and the growing needs of
consumers for sustainably produced, high-quality food on the other.
How best can the agricultural entrepreneur respond to this - and
turn these threats into an opportunity? The book 'Sustainable
Agricultural Entrepreneurship' sets out the experiences of
successful agricultural entrepreneurs who have turned the process
of urbanisation and the changing needs of the consumer primarily
into an opportunity.
Reagissant au scientisme de son epoque, Bergson rend a la
philosophie son identite propre en montrant qu'une grande part de
la realite echappe a l'intelligence et n'est accessible qu'a
l'intuition. L'intelligence est une faculte pragmatique qui
s'adapte a la matiere: sa connaissance ne va pas au-dela. Seule
l'intuition peut comprendre ce qu'est l'esprit, saisir dans leur
tension les diverses tendances qui constituent l'essence meme de la
vie, et penser la duree comme une force creatrice. On comprend
aisement que, des son premier ouvrage, Bergson ait considere la
liberte comme le coeur meme de sa philosophie.
