"How wonderful it is to have this book to be able to recognize the
negatives that ill our thoughts. The possibility for people to
change Edward says is now conceivable. Edward Jones knows the path
to living a life of significance is to know who we are. To live
with a sense of purpose where in our lives we create meaning, a
life of significance. The Awakening reveals universal truths to
provide us all the understanding. His ultimate goal is to place our
minds in position, for us to grow true to form and live out our
primary purpose. Sad to say it's that very purpose we've turned
against. This book explains it's by our turning against this
purpose we're destroying our selves and our world. Certain chaos is
in only a matter of time, for it's the present negatives in our way
of thinking, following their instinctive course. But it's Edward's
inspiring message that provides the understanding and Hope." - Bill
Dixon, a friend
In The Witches of St Petersburg, we met Grand Duchesses Militza and
her sister Anastasia, queens of the Dark Arts. This is Nadezhda’s
story. A city in flames. A revolution raging. A woman on the run.
Nadezhda has never wanted to be a witch. But the occult is in her
blood. Her mother, Militza, conjured Rasputin and introduced him
into the Romanov court, releasing the devil himself. Now he is dead
but Militza still dreams of him – he stalks her sleep and haunts
her waking hours. As Petrograd burns and the Russian Empire
crumbles, Nadezhda escapes through the corpse-laden streets of the
capital, concealing on her person a book of generational magic.
Magic she once described as foolishness. But as danger grows ever
closer, she may be forced to embrace her heritage to save what she
loves most… Based on a true story, The Witch’s Daughter is an
epic tale of women rising from the ashes of an empire, perfect for
fans of Elodie Harper's The Wolf Den and Madeline Miller’s Circe.
Praise for Imogen Edwards-Jones: 'Sumptuous, sexy and haunting.'

An epic story of love, tragedy and the loss of innocence, set
against the background of the Russian Revolution after the murder
of Rasputin. It is 1916 and Rasputin has finally been killed by
those who have long feared his influence over Tsar Nicholas and
Tsarina Alexandra. But for Princess Militza, famed as one of the
'Witches of St Petersburg', and her daughter Nadezhda, life is
about to become extremely dangerous. Revolution is bubbling and
with it will come the murder of the Romanov imperial family. Now
the rest of the court is also on the run, fleeing from the mob.
Against this violent and turbulent backdrop, Nadezhda, the witch's
daughter, finds in exile and captivity an extraordinary and
unlikely love. They say nothing heals like the heart, but as the
Red Army marches south and the remnants of the Russian court finds
itself trapped in the Crimea, with their backs to the sea, Nadezhda
and her beloved Prince Orlov must take the gamble of their lives.
Praise for Imogen Edwards-Jones: 'Sumptuous, sexy and haunting. I
adored this novel.' Santa Montefiore 'Razor-sharp. A brilliant take
on the historical novel.' Candace Bushnell 'I couldn't put it
down.' Claudia Winkleman
Roman Britain, first published in 1972, gives the young reader a
vivid impression of the British Isles immediately preceding, during
and after the Roman occupation, which lasted for 400 years. Using a
selection of extracts, both historical and imaginative, it offer a
suitably comprehensive account of Roman Britain: the campaigns
fought to subdue it, the military and civil government established
to govern it, relations between the Imperial administration and the
natives, and the departure of the legions to fight elsewhere in the
Empire. Selections of poetry by John Masefield, W.H. Auden, Rudyard
Kipling and A.E. Housman are included, together with prose extracts
from Bede, Tacitus, Hilaire Belloc, Henry Treece, Alfred Duggan,
Rudyard Kipling. Physically compact, Roman Britain encourages young
classicists and historians to engage imaginatively with the
subject, whilst also supplying ample opportunity for more detailed
discussion and further reading.

'Sumptuous, sexy and haunting' Santa Montefiore.
Brimming with black magic, sex and intrigue, a gorgeous historical novel for fans of Dinah Jefferies and Santa Montefiore.
The Russian Empire is on the verge of collapse. Revolution is in the air. The starving stalk the streets of St Petersburg and yet the Imperial Court still commute between their estates and organise their lavish balls.
Two sisters arrive in the city. Princesses from Montenegro; they are famed for their wild beauty and mystical powers. Initially ridiculed and outcast as the daughters of a provincial 'Goat King', they react in the only way they know how. They befriend the isolated Tsarina Alexandra and, using their gifts, they help her in her increasingly desperate quest to give birth to a son and heir. The circle closes. The girls are the gateway. Gurus, clairvoyants, holy fools and charlatans all try their luck. Then in one last, doomed, throw of the dice, the sisters introduce Rasputin into the Russian Court...
Based on the true story of the lives of Princess Militza and Princess Anastasia of Montenegro during the dying days of the Russian Empire, The Witches of St Petersburg is a tale of love, lust, power and betrayal at the heart of the Romanov Court.
Using practical examples, this book demonstrates how a theoretical
model for shared care operates in practice to deliver improved
health outcomes within limited resources. It shows how
clinically-led initiatives can influence health care commissioning
strategies, and how the implementation of the model meets the needs
of clinicians, purchasers and providers. The model and evaluation
protocols advocated here provide a firm foundation for the
development of shared care in the future.
Ecological economics is an exciting interdisciplinary field of
study that combines insights from the natural sciences, economics,
philosophy and other fields to develop innovative approaches to
environmental problems. It draws on a wide range of analytical
perspectives, some radical others more conventional, to build a
more complete understanding of human-ecosystem interactions.
Current research in the field includes work on nature conservation,
land use planning, pollution control, natural resource management,
and environmental impact assessment/evaluation.
"Ecological Economics" provides a comprehensive introduction to
the core themes, presented in a clearly structured style, with
chapters tailored specifically to readers without any economic or
philosophical training. There is an emphasis throughout on the
complementary roles of economics, ethics and ecology in
environmental decision-making processes. The book reviews the
evolution of important ideas in the field, explores the fundamental
philosophies underlying different approaches to environmental
problems, explains in detail the specific tools and techniques used
in these approaches, and gives numerous examples of how they can be
applied. Special importance is attached to understanding both the
advantages and limitations of different analyses, in order to
provide a balanced and coherent view of how these different
approaches interrelate and how their roles vary in different
contexts.
Written by three authors specializing in ecology, economics and
philosophy, this textbook provides an excellent introduction to the
field of ecological economics for students in the natural sciences
and other environmental disciplines. It will also be of interest to
a wide range of professionals and researchers involved in
environmental management and policy, and thers including economists
seeking to broaden their knowledge of new methodologies and
approaches. Further reading suggestions and extensive references
are provided for those interested in pursuing particular themes
beyond the introductory level.
The first introductory ecological economics text written
specifically for natural scientists.
Assumes no prior knowledge of economics or philosophy.
Emphasises the complementary roles of ecology, economics and ethics
in environmental decision-making processes.
An emphasis on clarity and accessibility throughout.
