Join Jamie, the son of a travelling droll teller, as he journeys
across Cornwall, a land steeped in myth and legend. Along the way
you will hear mysterious and exciting tales like what happened when
Bodrugan took his soldiers to capture Richard Edgcumbe, why the
ghost of Lady Emma was never seen again, what proper job King
Arthur gave the Giant and how St Piran came to settle in Cornwall.
These stories – specially chosen to be enjoyed by 7- to
11-year-old readers – sparkle with magic and explode with
adventure. As old as the moors and as wild as the sea, they have
been freshly re-told for today’s readers by storyteller Mike
O’Connor.
The book is a contemporary compilation of important research in the
area of microfinance and financial inclusion. It explores a
plurality of views and experiences from different parts of the
world while linking a variety of international research
backgrounds. Accordingly the book will fill a gap in providing a
carefully curated cross-sectorial selection of topics relevant to
the development finance research community primarily but also
industry practitioners who are interested in keeping abreast of
developing research. Benefits in this regard also include being
able to provide a platform to less established researchers offering
them a voice in published form.

Shamans have long told stories of a naturally-occurring mineral
possessing so much healing power it would cost the global
pharmaceutical industry billions in profits if found. A brilliant
but deranged physician covertly discovers a deposit of the stuff
under the ground on old Cody McPherson's ranch in the Black Hills
of South Dakota. The mineral is called montmorillonite, and "Doc"
intends to lay his hands on it at any cost. Cody is murdered in a
remote corner of his 8,400-acre ranch. His horse Boone is the only
witness, and the two murderers go undetected. Hundreds of miles
distant, Tom Larkin leaves Saint Paul, Minnesota on a quest to find
himself, and just maybe save his marriage. Larkin's obsession with
owning the dead rancher's land has set him on a collision course
with the killers. His immediate obsession with Eva, an exotic local
woman, leads Larkin into a passionate alliance that nearly destroys
him and his marriage. Eva has an illegitimate child by Doc, who
coerced her to betray Larkin. Finally, Eva makes a courageous
stand. But did she wait too long? Using information Eva supplied to
them, the killers have laid their trap for Larkin. Now his life is
in play. Larkin breaks the law, his wife's heart and his personal
code of ethics to stay alive. Along the way, he learns the painful
difference between what he covets and what he holds most dear.
Native Ground is a thought-provoking, yet thoroughly delightful
romp through the mystical Black Hills, the erotic adventures of Eva
Shepherd, and Tom Larkin's gut-wrenching journey in search of
meaning in an anything-for-money world.
