But as she uncovers her own hidden talent, a gift handed down to her from her father, Madison begins to wish that she had never uncovered the truth. And with each truth revealed, more questions are exposed. Who are the mysterious Eius? Are there really people in the world who have special, powerful abilities? What is her place in all of this and... what is The Forty Two?

After the sudden and unexpected death of her parents Matilda Jones moves from her comfortable, easy suburban life to live with her Uncle in the small coastal town of Colherns Point. But soon Matilda realises that the town is not the idyllic seaside resort it at first seems when she discovers that every six months a teenage girl mysteriously disappears, only to turn up brutally murdered with evidence of ritual sacrifice and witchcraft. Are there truly Witches living among them? But as the pattern is broken questions begin to be asked about who is really behind the murders. And myth and conspiracy are uncovered as Matilda and her new friends start getting closer to the truth... and become the unwitting targets of the sinister and secretive 'Assembly.' Maybe the true monster is the town of Colherns Point its self.

An old man sits in his room, not moving, not speaking, just sitting... just watching. A son has moved his family away from their friends to a new town filled with hostile faces. A fifteen year old boy is surrounded by strangers in a new school... and a cruel, bleak nothingness is beginning to take hold of him. Soon the town will know the pain off loss, of unhappiness, of unrelenting misery. And as an epidemic starts to grow, a spate of teenage suicides, another being begins to emerge. It lives in the wall, in the corner of the room and has hair as black as tar, eyes red like fire and teeth as vicious as grief. The nightmare has begun, the depression has taken its grip...The Black Dog has arisen.

Keenen Ivory Wayans writes, directs and stars in this comedy spoof. Ex-soldier Jack Spade (Wayans) returns home to his old neighbourhood after his brother Junebug dies from an overdose of gold chains. When he finds that the crime lord Mr. Big (John Vernon) is the man behind it all, the wannabe hero vows to avenge his brother's death and joins forces with ghetto heroes John Slade (Bernie Casey), Hammer (Isaac Hayes) and Slammer (Jim Brown) to bring justice where justice is needed most.

Public access to government information forms the foundation of a healthy liberal democracy. Because this information can be precarious, it needs stewardship. Government Information in Canada provides analysis about the state of Canadian government information publishing. Experts from across the country draw on decades of experience to offer a broad, well-founded survey of history, procedures, and emerging issues-particularly the challenges faced by practitioners during the transition of government information from print to digital access. This is an indispensable book for librarians, archivists, researchers, journalists, and everyone who uses government information and wants to know more about its publication, circulation, and retention. Contributors: Graeme Campbell, Talia Chung, Sandra Craig, Peter Ellinger, Darlene Fichter, Michelle Lake, Sam-chin Li, Steve Marks, Maureen Martyn, Catherine McGoveran, Martha Murphy, Dani J. Pahulje , Susan Paterson , Carol Perry, Caron Rollins, Gregory Salmers, Tom J. Smyth, Brian Tobin, Amanda Wakaruk, Nicholas Worby

Edward Gordon Craig (1872-1966) was the most brilliant and influential stage designer this century. Always a controversial figure, he set out to revolutionise the theatre by creating a new art, the art of the theatre. Almost single-handed he formulated the principles on which a modern approach to stage design would be based. In his writings and engravings he transformed stage scenery from painted back-cloth into an abstract three-dimensional world of form and light. Craig's reputation as a designer is firmly established; his brilliance as a writer is only beginning to be recognised. Index to the Story of My Days shows him at his most self-revealing. As the original edition announced, 'Anything less like the conventional book of memoirs it would be difficult to imagine'. This 1981 reissue includes a specially written introductory essay by Peter Holland assessing the importance of Craig's career in the history of stage design.

To gain a more complete understanding of plant-based ecological community structure requires knowledge of the integration of direct and indirect effects in plant herbivore systems. Trait modification of plants as a result of herbivory is very common and widespread in terrestrial plants, and this initiates indirect interactions between organisms that utilise the same host plant. This 2007 book argues that food webs by themselves are inadequate models for understanding ecological communities, because they ignore important indirect, nontrophic links. This subject is of great importance in understanding not only community organisation but also in identifying the underlying mechanisms of maintenance of biodiversity in nature. This book will be an invaluable resource for researchers and graduate students interested in community and population ecology, evolutionary biology, biodiversity, botany and entomology.
