This collection of short fiction aims to define the sometimes
indefinable and to give voice to those struggling to make sense of
what life throws at them. There are those who travel in a
continuous loop on London's underground and those who dance at
night with the departed. A woman confronts herself in a bedroom
mirror after decades of denial and a widow finds comfort in an
osteopath's consulting room. And then there is a strange creature
who falls to earth; dreams and portents; crows and folklore, and
much more. The stories are tragic and comi-tragic, but all reveal
the strength and complexity of the human spirit. They bring
poignant insights on grief, loss and longing and the depths and
strangeness of the human psyche and how we manage to survive and
just about cope.
For most biomedical researchers and academics, preparing conference
abstracts and posters is an important part of professional life.
With good preparation and practice, all scientists can produce
abstracts that act as effective ambassadors for their research. A

The South Westerlies is an attempt to know place (Gower) through
the creation of a collection of short stories. Place is not a
cosmetic backdrop, but an affecting agent in the lives of a wide
cast of fictional characters. The collection is unified by the tone
of the prevalent dank south-westerly wind that blows across the
peninsula, the UK's first designated area of outstanding natural
beauty. However, the author chooses to let her gaze fall on the
downsides of a much vaunted tourism destination and a place that is
too beautiful, perhaps, for its own good.
This book is designed to help scientists get their biomedical
papers published. It is intended to answer the commonest questions
about scientific writing, and to help scientists avoid the most
frequent problems and pitfalls.
