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.

When Madison Fisher discovers the secret behind the locked door in
her grandfather's Farm House, the revelations about an alternative
society of 'Gifted' human beings are only the beginning in the
chain of life altering discovery's that will devastate, and
ultimately change, her world forever. 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?
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.
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.

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.
