What if you could befriend a cloud? What weather would you choose?
What if the weather matched itself to your mood, whether you wanted
it to, or not? 11-year-old Stella has returned home to Shetland to
spend the summer with her Grandpa, but it's nothing like she
remembers. Grandpa is lost in his grief for Gran, the island is
bleak and Stella feels trapped, until she encounters an old woman,
Tamar, who can spin rainbows and call hurricanes. With the help of
Nimbus, a feisty young storm cloud, Stella begins to learn the
craft of weather weaving. But when her cloud brain-fogs Grandpa and
The Haken (a sea witch) starts to close in, she realises that magic
comes with big responsibilities. It will take all her heart and
courage to face the coming storm... THE WEATHER WEAVER is
essentially a Moana tale for Shetland; a coming of age story,
intertwined with island myths and hidden magic. At its heart, the
novel tackles the following themes: independence, the meaning of
home, and the fallibility of grown-ups.
Finalist for the Guild of Food Writers Awards 2021: General
Cookbook Voted Best Outdoor Dining Spot in London
by VOGUE Magazine Selected as a best cookbook of the
year by the Guardian, The Independent, Stylist and Daily Mail Lori
& Laura are a magical team. I suggest you dive in and cook up a
Towpath feast for your friends and family. Fergus & Margot
Henderson From St. John’s to River Cafe, London’s food scene is
peppered with iconic restaurants that are now intertwined with the
city’s landscape. Towpath is no different. The café, run by Lori
de Mori and Laura Jackson, is a permanent fixture along Regent’s
Canal, complete with the honks of riverside coots and speeding
cyclists. What sets it apart, however, is that it has no phone or
takeaway; with only outdoor seating and no laptops it is one of the
few places in London where time stands still. Part snapshot of life
on the canal, part recipe book, Towpath: Recipes & Stories
captures the ebb and flow of Towpath’s ever-changing seasonal
menus and its waterside community, offering Laura’s vibrant
recipes alongside evocative stories by Lori. The cookbook features
Italian classics like Aubergine Parmigiana and Olive Oil Cake and
French delights like the Raspberry and Frangipane Tart amongst
other Towpath specialties like Roast Chicken and gooey Cheese
Toastie with a side of Quince Jam. In the words of Olia Hercules,
‘[Towpath] is a cookbook that absolutely everyone should possess.
It’s a life-changing kind of thing.’ Towpath is one of the
reasons I live in London. It’s a jewel-like, dream of a place.
This book is an invite into their magical world. Keira Knightley

Boiling Water Reactors, Volume Four in the JSME Series on Thermal
and Nuclear Power Generation compiles the latest research in this
very comprehensive reference that begins with an analysis of the
history of BWR development and then moves through BWR plant design
and innovations. The reader is guided through considerations for
all BWR plant features and systems, including reactor internals,
safety systems and plant instrumentation and control.
Thermal-hydraulic aspects within a BWR core are analyzed alongside
fuel analysis before comparisons of the latest BWR plant life
management and maintenance technologies to promote safety and
radiation protection practices are covered. The book's authors
combine their in-depth knowledge and depth of experience in the
field to analyze innovations and Next Generation BWRs, considering
prospects for a variety of different BWRs, such as
