DCI Merlin Parry has to use all his skill and experience to crack a
murder case where the victim was killed in front of thousands of
shoppers, but not a single witness is to be found. A neurotic,
barren wife acquires a baby illegally. Seventeen years on, with her
husband now a prosperous Welsh businessman, someone discovers her
secret and blackmail begins. A murder follows in Cardiff's vibrant
Central Market in front of thousands of shoppers - but, bizarrely,
there are no witnesses. Chief Inspector Merlin Parry, aided as
every by Sergeant Gomer Lloyd, tackles a baffling human drama that
intrigues right up to the nail-biting denouement, the whole
leavened with masterly characterisation and polished wit.
Mervyn Davies left South Wales under a cloud forty years ago, but
now he's back to collect a vast inheritance left to him by his
childhood friend Edwin Edworth. Some are surprised; others are
disgusted ... but who wanted him dead? Mervyn Davies left South
Wales under a cloud forty years ago, but now he's back to collect a
vast inheritance left to him by his childhood friend Edwin Edworth.
Some people are surprised, others are disgusted at his good fortune
- particularly Edworth's relatives who are left nothing in his
will. So when Davies's severed head is discovered in a Tesco bag
and other bits of him start appearing elsewhere, it's the relatives
who have the obvious motive for his murder. But DCI Merlin Parry
and DS Gomer Lloyd have to dig a lot deeper mentally to identify
some less obvious suspects, not to mention relatives, as well as
physically to locate the remainder of the body before eventually
cornering the killer.
The William E. Boeing Story - A Gift of Flight is the first-ever
full-length biography of William E. Boeing; the father of
commercial aviation. Boeing's story is an exciting one complete
with bootleggers, kidnappers and a disastrous run-in with President
Franklin Roosevelt and future Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black.
Boeing's story covers every aspect of early aviation starting with
his first ride in a balloon in 1896 to the christening of the
revolutionary jet-powered Dash-80 / 707 in 1955. Along the way,
Boeing developed some of the world's most iconic airplanes
including the P-26 Peashooter, the Boeing 247, the B-17 Flying
Fortress and the mighty B-29 Superfortress. The Boeing Family gave
author David D. Williams unprecedented access to the Boeing Family
Archives which contained thousands of never before seen photos,
diaries, and personal letters. This treasure trove of primary
sources allowed Williams to create an extraordinarily vivid and
accurate portrait of this influential yet private man.
This volume focuses on the various phenomena of religious
encounters in a transcultural society where religion or religious
traditions play a significant role in a multi-cultural concept.
Religious Encounters in Transcultural Society is divided into three
parts: Islamic encounters with regional religions, East Asian
religious encounters, and alternative religious encounters. This
book evokes the fact that religious encounters exist in every
transcultural society even though they often remain hidden behind
socio-cultural issues. The situation can be changed, but one
culture cannot harmoniously and always contain two or
multi-beliefs. The issue of religious encounters mostly arises in
the transnational process of religious globalization.
There are three of them and they have no names: they are a family
whose roles superseded by destiny. This is the story of man's
struggle for dignity of a man who has only a short time left to
live. In the first months of lockdown a mother and son struggle
against bureacracy to be able to visit the father in hospital and
to fulfil his last wish to return to their Dalmatian terrace just
as the cherries blossom and the swallows' nests are full of
hatchlings. In this novel, Prtenjaca deals with loss, short-lived
hope and memory, his voice is that of a child - one that asks
questions - alongside that of a mature voice of a man who has to
make difficult decisions. These voices overlap in a rhythmical
exchange of scenes and images from the past and the present,
comprising an elegy in which love reverberates like the sound of
cymbals. There's three of them, and they have no names. Sometimes
they seem alone in this world.

of Latin American Literature offers readers the opportunity to
explore this literary history in the English Language and

This textbook provides a historical survey of economic and
political development theory and practice from 1945. Against the
background of changes in global politics, it explores how the
project of international development has been shaped in a series of
wider contexts. Divided into two historical parts: the Sovereign
Order, post 1945 to the early-1980s, and the Liberal post-Cold War
Era from the 1980s to the present day, it examines: * the evolution
of ideas of international development: how the problem of
development was conceived and is understood in relation to
development economics and political development. It also addresses
the impact of neo-liberal counterrevolution' in development theory,
the rise of good governance, participation and ownership, as well
as the impact of the war on terror' and the securitisation of
development' * institutions in international development: from the
emergence of development agencies, their policies and the provision
of different types of aid to changing aid flows and the growth of a
more integrated development community' with implications for
developing countries. Finally, it looks at the how the war on
terror' and the securitisation of development' have shaped what
these agencies do * the practices of international development:
these chapters examine a number of countries and their relations
with development agencies; the kinds of projects and programmes
these agencies supported; and the outcomes of these projects and
programmes. This valuable and important teaching tool will be of
interest to students of development, international relations,
politics and economics.

This textbook provides students and the broader aviation community
with a complete, accessible guide to the subject of human factors

concepts covered, and it is supported by more than 100 full-color
illustrations and photographs. All knowledge of human factors
required in aviation university studies is conveyed in a concise
and casual manner, through the use of helpful margin notes and

This title was first published in 2003. This book critically
examines the moral and political status of the child by a
consideration of three interrelated questions: What rights if any
does the child have? What rights over and duties in respect of a
child do parents have? What rights over and duties in respect of a
child does the state have? David Archard adopts three areas for
particular discussion on the practical implications of the general
theoretical issues: education, child protection policy, and the
medical treatment of children. Providing a clear legal context and
a sharper, contemporary discussion of the question of rights, this
book presents a clear introduction to the key issues in the moral
and political status of children.
First published in 1991, Peter Brook and the Mahabharata is a
collection of essays which contextualizes the production of Peter
Brook's The Mahabharata. Written by both scholars and collaborators
on Brook's production, these essays seek not only to discuss such
issues as the politics of theatre interculturalism, but to describe
the nature of the working process, and detail the technical
problems engendered by touring a production of this size and
complexity. Furnished with a new preface by the editor, the book
continues to be crucial research work devoted to unravelling the
mesmerising as well as the polarising enigma known as Peter Brook's
The Mahabharata. Thoroughly heterogenous and controversially
irreverent, this book will be of interest to students of theatre,
performance art, literature, South Asian studies and media studies.
