Herbie and Violet's fifth gripping adventure brings the
internationally bestselling Eerie-on-Sea series to a heart-stopping
climax. It is midwinter once again, and the hosts of a paranormal
podcast have descended on Eerie-on-Sea eager for a sighting of the
legendary malamander. Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand
Nautilus Hotel, is feeling uneasy – and not just because of the
visitors. He’s being plagued by unsettling dreams, and the
head-splitting “Eerie Hum” that is reverberating through the
town. Something is dreadfully wrong, and it seems to be coming from
Eerie's very core. Herbie and his friend Violet Parma will need all
their courage as they head deep below the town to seek answers.
Perhaps here, finally, they – and the malamander too – will
discover the Deepest Secret of Eerie-on-Sea.

When Herbie and Violet's arch-enemy Sebastian Eels turns up in
Eerie-on-Sea, seemingly back from the dead, it can only spell bad
news. The town may welcome his entrepreneurial scheme to resurrect
Festergrimm's Waxworks, a dusty and defunct old gallery of spooky
characters from Eerie legend, but Herbie and Violet are suspicious
of his motives. And when they learn the legend of Ludo Festergrimm
the clockmaker, creator of a vast mechanical robot that wrought
havoc in the wrong hands, they KNOW they're on the right track. But
how can they get the residents of Eerie-on-Sea to believe them?

A creepy magician with a shadowy act. A legend that goes back to
the dawn of time. Eerie-on-Sea just got stranger. And darker... A
mysterious stage magician has set up in the theatre at the end of
the pier, with an act so hypnotic and strange that Herbie Lemon and
his friend Violet Parma suspect dark forces are at work. Meanwhile,
folk are disappearing from Eerie-on-Sea, and no one knows why.
There is an Eerie legend that goes back to the dawn of time, about
a creature made of darkness that devours the shadows of the living.
But could the Shadowghast really have returned?
'The contributions from leading scientists of the day collected in
this relatively slim book document CERN's 60-year voyage of
innovation and discovery, the repercussions of which vindicate the
vision of those who drove the foundation of the laboratory -
European in constitution, but global in impact. The spirit of
inclusive collaboration, which was a key element of the original
vision for the laboratory, together with the aim of technical
innovation and scientific excellence, are reflected in each of the
articles in this unique volume.'CERN Courier'Big' science and
advanced technology are known to cross-fertilize. This book
emphasizes the interplay between particle physics and technology at
CERN that has led to breakthroughs in both research and technology
over the laboratory's first 60 years. The innovations, often the
work of individuals or by small teams, are illustrated with
highlights describing selected technologies from the domains of
accelerators and detectors. The book also presents the framework
and conditions prevailing at CERN that enabled spectacular advances
in technology and contributed to propel the European organization
into the league of leading research laboratories in the world.While
the book is specifically aimed at providing information for the
technically interested general public, more expert readers may also
appreciate the broad variety of subjects presented. Ample
references are given for those who wish to further explore a given
topic.

In Ignes Fatui, Charles Thomas Taylor examines various
misapprehensions and misconceptions that interfere with clear
rational thought. The title of the book, a loanword from Medieval
Latin, means "foolish fires"-lights that occasionally appear in the
nighttime over marshy ground and are frequently attributable to the
combination of gases emitted by decomposed organic matter. The term
is sometimes used in modern times to suggest deceptive thoughts,
goals, or hopes. The first four chapters of Ignes Fatui consider
various common illusions that interfere with sound objective
thought in society. The fifth and final chapter considers the
illusions that prevent and consequently forestall any form of
effectual subjective thinking in personal life. The primary
objective of the book is to attempt to improve rational thought and
thereby reverse the general decline of faith in the power of reason
today.
