Zoe Norris writes travel guides for the undead. And she's good at
it too -- her new-found ability to talk to cities seems to help.
After the success of "The Sbambling Guide to New York City," Zoe
and her team are sent to New Orleans to write the sequel.
Work isn't all that brings Zoe to the Big Easy. The only person who
can save her boyfriend from zombism is rumored to live in the
city's swamps, but Zoe's out of her element in the wilderness. With
her supernatural colleagues waiting to see her fail, and rumors of
a new threat hunting city talkers, can Zoe stay alive long enough
to finish her next book?
A travel writer takes a job with a shady publishing company in New
York, only to find that she must write a guide to the city - for
the undead
Because of the disaster that was her last job, Zoe is searching
for a fresh start as a travel book editor in the tourist-centric
New York City. After stumbling across a seemingly perfect position
though, Zoe is blocked at every turn because of the one thing she
can't take off her resume --- human.
Not to be put off by anything -- especially not her blood drinking
boss or death goddess coworker -- Zoe delves deep into the monster
world. But her job turns deadly when the careful balance between
human and monsters starts to crumble -- with Zoe right in the
middle.

The idea of convening an international workshop on hypertrophic
ecosystems originated during the 20th S.I.L. Congress in
Copenhagen. A group of about 30 delegates met there in an informal
gathering to discuss the specific problems of lakes which have
reached a noxious stage of eutrophication. This ad hoc group
realized its own specific identity within the limnological
community and suggested the organization of a specialized future
meeting on hypertrophic ecosystems. After two years of preparatory
work, the workshop was fmally held in Vaxjo, Sweden, between
September 10 and 14, 1979, on the premises of the University
campus. The Institute of Limnology, University of Lund (Professor
Sven Bjork), undertook the task of host and organizer. The City
ofVaxjo and the University of Lund co-sponsored the event, which
was held under the auspices and patronage of the Societas
Internationalis Limnologiae. The objective of the workshop was to
seek better understanding of highly-eutrophic, disturbed and
unstable aquatic ecosystems (lakes, reservoirs and ponds developing
noxious algal and bacterial blooms, fluctuating in their water
quality on a daily and seasonal scale, producing gases, off-flavor
and toxic substances, experiencing periodic anoxia and massive fish
kills, etc.), Le., systems requiring corrective measures and new
concepts for their solution beyond those generally accepted for
'normal' eutrophic systems.

Olly Murs' first studio album in over four years 'Marry Me' is the 7th of his illustrious career.
'Die Of A Broken Heart' opens the album, and arrives as the first single. From the opening notes, you can hear why - it's an instant ear-worm, a one-listen-and-you're-hooked pop-reggae outlier.
Olly Murs presents this programme in which he discusses the dangers
of being sinful on the football pitch. Former footballers Ray
Parlour, Alvin Martin, Jason Cundy, Ray Houghton and Micky Quinn
offer their input on Olly's list of the deadliest sinners.
