A young woman becomes a governess to two grieving orphans in the
latest powerful historical romance from Janet Woods 1835.
Clementine Morris, despite her youth and inexperience, is hired by
Zachariah Fleet to care for his recently orphaned niece and nephew.
He tells her he wishes the young children to have more than a
governess, and her heart goes out to the grieving infants.
Clementine, too, is an orphan, and all alone in the world. But
little does she know that Zachariah Fleet is interested in her for
more than just her usefulness as a governess. He believes she is a
distant relation of his by marriage, and there is a chance she is a
legatee for a useful amount of money. There are troubles ahead,
though, when another young woman turns up with a claim to the
inheritance . . . and troubles for Zachariah too. The
self-possessed, wealthy businessman has never allowed himself to
fall in love, but as he grows to trust Clementine he realises that
he may be falling for her.

He is an Earl who was left at the altar . . . She was his childhood
friend, his one true love . . . Now Fate has brought them together
again. December 1816. Ryder, Lord Madigan, has never got over the
loss of his childhood sweetheart, Adele: the woman who abandoned
him at the altar. The woman who humiliated him and left him a
broken man. Now she's come home, a widow. Wrongly believing Ryder
to be dead, Adele has returned to her Dorset village to reunite
with her family and pick up the pieces of her life. Despite
everything, she has never stopped loving the man she jilted. But
can she put right the wrongs of the past, and bring herself to tell
Ryder the truth about why she left him - and the misery of her life
since then? Ryder too is keeping secrets from Adele. If the two
former lovers are to have a second chance at happiness, they must
overcome their pride and admit their true feelings for one another.
In 1921, Rudolf Steiner gave a series of lectures on curative
eurythmy. Over the subsequent years, as advice was sought in
particular cases of illness, he added to the initial exercises and
indications. For the benefit of those who did not attend the
original courses, Dr Kirchner-Bockholt published the basic
principles, along with an authentic collection of Steiner's advice.
This is Dr Kirchner-Bockholt's comprehensive handbook. It is both a
guide for curative eurythmists in their work, and an introduction
to the therapy for the general practitioner.
A thrilling love story set amid the cut-throat world of smuggling
along the British coast 1840. Miranda Jarvis would do anything to
protect her sister - so when Lucy comes down with a fever, she
thinks nothing of stealing a loaf of bread from a local landowner.
After all, things can't get much worse: after their father died,
they were turned out of their home, and their mother lost her life
on the road giving birth to a stillborn infant. Robbed by
strangers, the pair of them have nothing, and no one to help them.
Miranda doesn't count on being nearly brained by the cook's rolling
pin . . . but nor does she count on the house's owner himself. The
seemingly respectable businessman Sir James, known for his
philanthropy, takes a keen interest in Miranda and her sister, and
they are soon established in his household. But Sir James has
quarrelled with his nephew, the rakish but reluctant smuggler
Fletcher Taunt, and - little does Miranda know - the hostility
between the two men, one of whom she comes to love, will change her
life forever . . .

In the future, the UK's energy supplies, for both heat and power,
will come from much more diverse sources. In many cases, this will
mean local energy projects serving a local community or even a
single house. What technologies are available? Where and at what
scale can they be used? How can they work effectively with our
existing energy networks? This book explores these power and heat
sources, explains the characteristics of each and examines how they
can be used.
This title is the first of four 'new-look' books in the Power and
Energy series that are aimed at industry professionals rather than
academics. Nuclear Power explains in detail how nuclear power
works, its costs, its benefits as part of the electricity supply
system, and also examines its record. This book covers the debate
over the pros and cons of nuclear power. Is it expensive, dangerous
and inflexible? Or is nuclear power an opportunity to invest in a
long-term, large-scale electricity source that will assist to win
the battle against climate change? There will be broad market
interest in this book, which has been written for general
awareness. Other subjects that will be included in this new range
are co-generation, embedded generation, and condition assessment of
high voltage insulation in power system equipment.
