Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

ePDF and ePUB available Open Access under CC-BY-NC-ND license. The
perpetuation of poverty across generations damages lives. It
weakens social cohesion and the economy and undermines
environmental sustainability. This book examines why poverty is
carried on from one generation to the next and what needs to be
done to eradicate it. This book draws on a wide variety of sources
and academic disciplines (social sciences, economics, law,
community development, neuroscience and developmental psychology)
along with the lived experience of people in poverty. Challenging
the myths and prejudices about poverty that hinder progress, it
calls for a comprehensive approach based on ensuring real equality
of opportunity for all. It stresses the need to intervene early to
combat child poverty and break the vicious cycles that perpetuate
poverty and disadvantage.
Collection of three feature-length episodes from the TV series
based on Agatha Christie's classic murder mystery novels. In
'Murder On the Orient Express' the Belgian moustache-twirling
detective, Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), is travelling from
Istanbul to England aboard the Orient Express when a man, who
appears to be a stranger to the other passengers, is killed. While
the train is caught in a snowdrift Poirot attempts to reveal who is
responsible. In 'Death On the Nile' (2004) young heiress Linnet
Doyle (Emily Blunt) is murdered while enjoying a pleasure cruise
down the Nile with her new husband, Simon Doyle (J.J. Feild),
aboard a luxury liner occupied by a diverse set of extremely
wealthy passengers. Widely disliked and envied, the young woman is
soon discovered by Poirot to have had plenty of enemies, many of
whom turn out to be on board... In 'The ABC Murders' an anonymous
serial killer has been taking his victims in alphabetical order.
The police believe the murders to be the work of a lunatic but
Poirot soon realises the killer is much more methodical than they
first thought...
