Originally published in 1985, as with the earlier volumes in the
series, the reader of The Rover is here provided a Verbal Index,
citing each type and its location, a Word Frequency Table, and a
Field of Reference. Using the tables in this concordance, the
reader should be better able to address the issue of style and
determine on a more informed basis whether Conrad has deliberately
eschewed the adjectival and even the figurative in favour of a
lean, spare style, or whether he has simply tangled his style in
rhetorical excesses and imprecisions.

Introducing this major new detective franchise starring Academy Award nominee and BAFTA winner Brenda Blethyn as Chief Inspector Vera Stanhope.
Middle-aged Vera is an experienced, not to mention brilliant, murder detective. Kind-hearted but a loner, she freely admits she can become obsessed with her job.
TV's critically acclaimed crime drama returns, starring multi-award winning actress Brenda Blethyn as DCI Vera Stanhope.
Based on the bestselling Inspector Stanhope books by renowned writer Ann Cleeves, Vera and her team are faced with a series of daunting challenges.
Set in eastern Borneo during the 1880s, Almayer's Folley recreates
the conflicts of imperial Europe with the colonised East Indies
through Joseph Conrad's story of Kaspar Almayer's personal tragedy:
his loss of both his daughter of mixed race to her native lover and
his dream of finding enough gold to return to Amsterdam in triumph.
The introduction gives the history of the composition over almost
five years as Conrad went to the Congo, Australia, the Ukraine,
Belgium, Switzerland, and France as a seaman and on holiday. The
novel has suffered seven layers of unauthorised intervention by
typists and publishers, as set out in the essay on the text and the
apparatus. The notes explain Malay terms and historical references,
and there are two regional maps. This is the text of Almayer's
Folley, established through modern textual scholarship, as Conrad
would have like it to have appeared in 1895.
Poverty, Inequality and Health: An International Perspective raises new and critical issues about health inequalities. It is unique in that it provides the first truly international perspective on this problem, with contributions from the developed and developing world. The outcome of a Public Health Forum organised by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, this book brings together material from internationally recognised contributors from a wide range of disciplines and countries. The chapters reflect this diversity, ranging from the micro- to the macro-level, from aetiology to intervention. Topics covered include: the over-arching concepts linking economic and social forces and health status the extent to which ethical concerns lie at the heart of the issue of inequalities in health and attempts to ameliorate them; macro-level features of inequalities in health within and between countries; an overview of the main body of work on inequalities in health in developed countries and those in transition within Europe; specific pathways and mechanisms at the individual level that link poverty and inequality to health status; the interaction of social and biological influences on health status throughout life; specific disease-specific links; and issues of policy and interventions aimed at reducing inequalities in health. The book brings together people from very varied disciplines to discuss an area of clear international interest and global importance. As such it will be of value to the broad public health audience as well as research epidemiologists, international policy analysts and policy makers and those concerned with economic development and health.
The indomitable DCI Vera Stanhope, assisted by her trusted colleague, DS Joe Ashworth, steps up for another series of challenging cases.
She investigates the mysterious death of a pensioner on a busy commuter train (On Harbour Street), unearths a thirty year mystery after a brutal murder on the sands of a seaside resort (Protected), unpicks the tragic last months of a failed novelist gunned down on a remote Northumberland moor (The Deer Hunters), and delves into the tangled life of a businessman found floating in the water under the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (Death of a Family Man).
Inspired by the novels written by renowned crime writer Ann Cleeves, and filmed against a backdrop of outstanding Northumberland landscapes and atmospheric production, each enthralling story is enhanced by the captivating performance of Brenda Blethyn as this shambolic yet brilliant detective.
