**One of BuzzFeed's Great LGBTQ+ YA novels to Warm up Your Winter *
A Kid's Feb/March IndieNext pick** From New York Times bestselling
author Claire Legrand comes a new, bone-chilling YA horror novel
about a girl who joins a coven to root out a vicious evil that's
stalking her village. Perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale and
The Grace Year. Her name is unimportant. All you must know is that
today she will become one of the four saints of Haven. The elders
will mark her and place the red hood on her head. With her sisters,
she will stand against the evil power that lives beneath the black
mountain-an evil which has already killed nine of her village's
men. She will tell no one of the white-eyed beasts that follow her.
Or the faceless gray women tall as houses. Or the girls she saw
kissing in the elm grove. Today she will be a saint of Haven. She
will rid her family of her mother's shame at last and save her
people from destruction. She is not afraid. Are you? This searing
and lyrically written novel by the critically acclaimed author of
Sawkill Girls beckons readers to follow its fierce heroine into a
world filled with secrets and blood-where the truth is buried in
lies and a devastating power waits, seething, for someone brave
enough to use it.
New York Times bestselling author of Furyborn, Claire Legrand,
makes her stunning adult debut with A Crown of Ivy and Glass, a
lush, sweeping fantasy-romance series starter that's perfect for
fans of Bridgerton and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Lady Gemma
Ashbourne seemingly has it all. She's young, gorgeous, and rich.
Her family was Anointed by the gods, blessed with incredible
abilities. But underneath her glittering facade, Gemma is deeply
sad. Years ago, her sister Mara was taken to the Middlemist to
guard against treacherous magic. Her mother abandoned the family.
Her father and eldest sister, Farrin-embroiled in a deadly blood
feud with the mysterious Bask family-often forget Gemma exists.
Worst of all, Gemma is the only Ashbourne to possess no magic.
Instead, her body fights it like poison. Constantly ill, aching
with loneliness, Gemma craves love and yearns to belong. Then she
meets the devastatingly handsome Talan d'Astier. His family
destroyed themselves, seduced by a demon, and Talan, the only
survivor, is determined to redeem their honor. Intrigued and
enchanted, Gemma proposes a bargain: She'll help Talan navigate
high society if he helps her destroy the Basks. According to
popular legend, a demon called The Man With the Three-Eyed Crown is
behind the families' blood feud-slay the demon, end the feud. But
attacks on the Middlemist are increasing. The plot against the
Basks quickly spirals out of control. And something immense and
terrifying is awakening in Gemma, drawing her inexorably toward
Talan and an all-consuming passion that could destroy her-or show
her the true strength of her power at last.

Characterizing the Alteration of Ovoproducts Using New Analytical
Approaches focuses on the capabilities (potential or proven) of the
latest metabolomics based analytical approaches for the (early)
diagnostic of the alteration of ovoproducts during their
production/preservation processes. It details the ovoproduct
matrix, their known sources of biotic and abiotic alteration, and
their associated biomarkers. In addition, the book covers the
capabilities (exploratory and characterization) of the latest
metabolomics tecnics, both invasive and non-invasive, including
chromatography, nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, NMR,
MS - including FTICR-MS -, and vibrational spectroscopy, such as
Infrared - MIR, NIR - or Raman). In final sections, the next
generation of online sensors derived from the latest technics is
discussed for their applicative potential in industry (NIR, Raman,
chromatography, benchmark NMR, and more).
This book's essays seek to cleanse comparative law of some of the
epistemic detritus it has been collecting and that has been
cluttering its theory and practice to the point where this flotsam
has effectively stultified 'good' comparison. While a critique
would pursue adjustments to the prevailing model, this text's
negative critique seeks a much more radical refurbishment as it
utters an emphatic 'no' to the governing epistemology: it pursues,
in effect, a deposition and a disposition of the leading epistemic
configuration and the various assumptions regarding the acquisition
of knowledge about foreign law that inform it. Negative comparative
law thus operates at a primordial level inasmuch as it concerns the
matter of justice: it aims to do justice to foreign law as
foreignness finds itself appropriated and travestied by
comparatists for ideological purposes. In the process, negative
critique purports significantly to enhance comparative law's
institutional, intellectual, and ethical respectability. This book
will benefit all law teachers and postgraduate law students
interested in the workings of law on the international scene,
whether specialists in comparative law, public international law,
private international law, transnational law, or foreign relations
law - in particular, individuals bringing to bear a critical
inclination to their subject-matter.
A vibrant, in-depth survey of the techniques and traditions of
patchwork around the world. What do Korean bojagi wrapping cloths,
Cameroonian Bamileke boubous, Peruvian montera hats and Hungarian
cifraszur shepherd cloaks have in common? Each is made using the
ancient technique of patchwork - the art of juxtaposing fabrics and
motifs to create blankets, clothes, accessories and more. Catherine
Legrand, who has spent many years travelling and researching
textiles, has a deep knowledge of the techniques and traditions
that characterize patchwork. Pieced together much like the gorgeous
textiles it portrays, her beautifully illustrated book features
over 300 dazzling photographs of patchwork around the world. She
takes the reader from Europe and the Americas to Africa and Asia,
where these ancient traditions still survive and patchwork is part
of the fabric of everyday life. Textile artists, patchwork
enthusiasts and travellers alike will find an endless source of
inspiration on the pages of this celebration of the beauty and
diversity of patchwork.
Survival data analysis is a very broad field of statistics,
encompassing a large variety of methods used in a wide range of
applications, and in particular in medical research. During the
last twenty years, several extensions of "classical" survival
models have been developed to address particular situations often
encountered in practice. This book aims to gather in a single
reference the most commonly used extensions, such as frailty models
(in case of unobserved heterogeneity or clustered data), cure
models (when a fraction of the population will not experience the
event of interest), competing risk models (in case of different
types of event), and joint survival models for a time-to-event
endpoint and a longitudinal outcome. Features Presents state-of-the
art approaches for different advanced survival models including
frailty models, cure models, competing risk models and joint models
for a longitudinal and a survival outcome Uses consistent notation
throughout the book for the different techniques presented Explains
in which situation each of these models should be used, and how
they are linked to specific research questions Focuses on the
understanding of the models, their implementation, and their
interpretation, with an appropriate level of methodological
development for masters students and applied statisticians Provides
references to existing R packages and SAS procedure or macros, and
illustrates the use of the main ones on real datasets This book is
primarily aimed at applied statisticians and graduate students of
statistics and biostatistics. It can also serve as an introductory
reference for methodological researchers interested in the main
extensions of classical survival analysis.

takes a global approach in content and examples. Offers good
balance between theory and practice: Integrates excellent case
studies from a variety of settings and geographical locations to
showcase the successes and failures. Other specific hospitality
books tend to be practical how to guides. Accessibility: Peppered

“Before Avatar came The Tribute” A team of scientists and
soldiers land on an alien planet with the hope they will find a new
source of energy. The expedition is vital for the survival of
humankind as an intergalactic war is raging, and the team must
battle a hostile climate and protective, indigenous species to
unravel the mysteries of this extraordinary planet before it’s
too late. This thrilling fiction mixes classical and experimental
forms and is widely considered a French sci-fi cult classic.
It is now widely agreed that the climate is changing, global
resources are diminishing and biodiversity is suffering. Developing
countries - many of them considered by the World Tourism
Organization to be 'Top Emerging Tourism Destinations' (UNWTO,
2009) - are already suffering the full frontal effect of
environmental degradation. The challenge for developing countries
is a triple-edged sword, how can economic prosperity be achieved
without the perpetual depletion of nature's reserves, the
destruction of rural habitat and the dislocation of traditional
societies? Many emerging nations are looking increasingly to the
tourism industry as the motor for economic development, with
hospitality businesses at the forefront. This book uses twenty-five
case studies to demonstrate how it is possible to create income and
stimulate regional socio-economic development by using sustainable
hospitality and tourism attractions. These case studies focus on
issues such as the protection of indigenous cultures as a source of
touristic curiosity; the preservation of the environment and the
protection of endangered species - such as the plight of turtles in
Sri Lanka or butterflies in Costa Rica to encourage tourism. Some
cases cover government supported projects, for example, the green
parks venture and regional tourism development in the Philippines,
an archaeological park initiative in Honduras and the diversity of
nature tourism in St. Vincent. Sustainable Hospitality and Tourism
as Motors for Development is designed to give students, academics
and practitioners a guide for best practices of sustainable
hospitality operations in developing countries. Based on case
studies, it provides a road map of how to achieve the goals of
sustainability giving benchmark examples. The book not only taps
into a contemporary business subject, but aims to provide readers
with a better understanding of how sustainable theories can be put
into practice in hospitality and tourism industries in developing
countries.
