Mega-bestselling British crime novelist Cara Hunter makes her big American debut with a wholly immersive thriller like none you've seen before: written as the teleplay of a true-crime documentary, it has the reader puzzling away, reviewing photos, maps, coroner's reports and other evidence as they read. Can you tell who's lying? ONE BODY. SIX EXPERTS. CAN YOU SOLVE THE CASE BEFORE THEY DO? It was a case that gripped the nation. In December 2003, Luke Ryder, the stepfather of acclaimed filmmaker Guy Howard (then aged 10), was found dead in the garden of their suburban family home. Luke Ryder’s murder has never been solved. Guy Howard’s mother and two sisters were in the house at the time of the murder—but all swear they saw nothing. Despite a high-profile police investigation and endless media attention, no suspect was ever charged. But some murder cases are simply too big to forget… Now comes the sensational new streaming series Infamous, dedicated to investigating—and perhaps cracking—this famous cold case. Years later a group of experts re-examine the evidence – with shocking results. Does the team know more than they’ve been letting on? True crime lovers and savvy readers, you can review the evidence and testimony at the same time as the experts. But can you solve the case before they do?
Classic drama in which three soulful sisters rise out of Harlem to become music's hottest singing group. Against the vibrant grooves of Curtis Mayfield, these divas explode onto the scene with off-the-hook harmonies and a sexy style that catapults them to superstardom. But not every fairytale has a happy ending and when success leads to excess, one sister's star will fade, while another's will sparkle.
Fifth in Cara Hunter's DI Adam Fawley detective novels, a Sunday Times bestseller from one of Britain's most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series. When DI Adam Fawley is assigned a sexual assault case filed by an Oxford student against a tenured professor, he expects the facts to match up with the far too many previous reports he's investigated time and again. But neither he nor anyone on his team imagined the victim would turn out to be a male rugby player accusing one of the university's most respected female professors. As the detectives try to unravel the truth behind the he said/she said crime, another threat arises--someone with a personal grudge against Fawley. . .
A Sunday Times bestseller from Cara Hunter, the fourth DI Adam Fawley detective novel, one of Britain's most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series. After being abducted and assaulted, a teenage girl somehow managed to escape from her captor. She is traumatized and needs to heal, but the police need her help to catch her assailant--information she clearly knows, but is unwilling to give. Without the girl's assistance, DI Adam Fawley's investigation is at a dead end. When another girl vanishes under the same circumstances, he recognizes a disturbing pattern--and a link to something long buried in his past. . .
In 2016, eight-year-old Daisy Mason vanished from her Oxford home.
DI Adam Fawley returns in the continuation of one of Britain's most enduringly popular and mega-selling crime series as a ghastly house fire on Christmas Day launches an investigation that shocks a community. It's one of the most disturbing cases DI Adam Fawley has ever worked. It's Christmas in Oxford, and firefighters have pulled two children from the smoking ruin of their home. The mystery deepens when it becomes clear that the parents are nowhere to be found. Why were the children left in the house alone? Why is neither parent answering their phone? Were they kidnapped? Murdered? From the start, DI Fawley--still reeling from his own personal tragedy--knows that this house fire is the scene of a crime, not an accident. Then new evidence comes to light and confirms the team's worst suspicions. The blaze was arson. Who would have torched a seemingly happy family's home on Christmas? As DI Fawley and his team of detectives sift through the evidence, old tensions and new problems in the family are slowly revealed. Something terribly out of the ordinary has happened, and the truth slowly begins to reveal itself... A gripping and provocative tale of arson, murder, and family intrigue, No Way Out is everything you'd expect from one of Britain's queens of crime, Cara Hunter.
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Differential equations can be viewed as a tool well suited to bring mathematics closer to real life and describe phenomena with an origin in physics, chemistry, biology, economics, etc. Of course, this 'invites' scientists and engineers to use them.On the other hand, differential equations are at the starting point of a lot of purely mathematical activity. Thus, a large part of functional analysis has been motivated by the need to solve questions coming from the analysis of differential systems. The same can be said of numerical analysis. Also, we must remember the relevant role played by differential equations in the formulation and resolution of problems in harmonic analysis, differential geometry, probability calculus, etc.Consequently, the interest in differential equations is justified from a double viewpoint: as significative and inspiring examples of questions and results arising in many areas in mathematics and also as a machinery that must be well understood in order to apply mathematics to real world problems.The main goal of this book is to provide a rigorous introduction to the theoretical study of this important tool and, also, to demonstrate its utility with applications coming from many fields.The book has its origin in several 'classical' or 'standard' courses given by the author for decades at the University of Sevilla. It has been an objective to make compatible the rigor of the underlying mathematical theory and the richness of applicability. Thus, together with existence, uniqueness, regularity, continuous dependence on data and parameters, etc., permanent interpretation of the laws, the role of the data, the behaviour of the solutions and other elements are discussed. Although briefly, the connections to first order partial differential equations and control and optimization have also been indicated.Each chapter has been completed with a collection of exercises, many of them with useful hints.

While the genesis of the Certified Child Life Specialists (CCLS) is in the healthcare setting, the theory and practice of child life has been successfully applied to environments outside of the healthcare field. The interest and pursuit of child life roles in non-healthcare settings have increasingly become of interest to students and professionals; however, further study is required to understand the various challenges and opportunities. The Role of Child Life Specialists in Community Settings serves as an innovative guide for those interested in pursuing child life in diverse settings with the education and credentials received through their child life certification and addresses issues the field currently faces related to saturation of the field, burn out, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. The book also serves as a catalyst to push the profession as a whole beyond its current healthcare boundaries. Covering topics such as grief, addiction, disaster relief, and family wellbeing, this major reference work is ideal for psychologists, medical professionals, nurses, policymakers, government officials, researchers, scholars, academicians, practitioners, instructors, and students.

Practical Implementation Science is designed for graduate health professional and advanced undergraduate students who want to master the steps of using implementation science to improve public health. Engaging and accessible, this textbook demonstrates how to implement evidence-based practices effectively through use of relevant theories, frameworks, models, tools, and research findings. Additional real-world case studies across public health, global health, and health policy provide essential context to the major issues facing implementation domestically and globally with consideration of communities in low-to-middle-income countries (LMIC).The textbook is organized around the steps involved in planning, executing, and evaluating implementation efforts to improve health outcomes in communities. Coverage spans assessing the knowledge-practice gap; selecting an evidence-based practice (EBP) to reduce the gap; assessing EBP fit and adapting the EBP; assessing barriers and facilitators of implementation; engaging stakeholders; creating an implementation structure; implementing the EBP; and evaluating the EBP effort. Each chapter includes a "how to" approach to conducting the task at hand. The text also addresses the practical importance of implementation science through disseminating EBPs; scaling up EBPs; sustaining EBPs; and de-implementing practices that are no longer effective. All chapters include learning objectives and summaries with emphasized Key Points for Practice, Common Pitfalls in Practice, and discussion questions to direct learning and classroom discussion. Fit for students of public health, health policy, nursing, medicine, mental health, behavioral health, allied health, and social work, Practical Implementation Science seeks to bridge the gap from scientific evidence to effective practice. Key Features: Soup to Nuts Approach - Distills the steps to selecting, adapting, implementing, evaluating, scaling up, and sustaining evidence-based practices Expert Insight - Editors and chapter authors bring years of experience from leading implementation programs and interventions Multidisciplinary Focus - Utilizes cases and research findings relevant to students of public health, medicine, nursing, mental health, behavioral health, and social work Case Studies and Real-World Examples - Blends frameworks, models, and tools with real-world examples for students interested in both domestic and global health eBook Access - Included with print purchase for use on most mobile devices or computers Instructor's Packet - Complete with an Instructor's Manual, PowerPoint slides, and a Sample Syllabus

In the richly interdisciplinary study, Challenging Addiction in Canadian Literature and Classrooms, Cara Fabre argues that popular culture in its many forms contributes to common assumptions about the causes, and personal and social implications, of addiction. Recent fictional depictions of addiction significantly refute the idea that addiction is caused by poor individual choices or solely by disease through the connections the authors draw between substance use and poverty, colonialism, and gender-based violence. With particular interest in the pervasive myth of the "Drunken Indian", Fabre asserts that these novels reimagine addiction as social suffering rather than individual pathology or moral failure. Fabre builds on the growing body of humanities research that brings literature into active engagement with other fields of study including biomedical and cognitive behavioural models of addiction, medical and health policies of harm reduction, and the practices of Alcoholics Anonymous. The book further engages with critical pedagogical strategies to teach critical awareness of stereotypes of addiction and to encourage the potential of literary analysis as a form of social activism. |
