"When a professor's student disappears and is presumed dead, he passes off her manuscript as his own-only to find out it implicates him in an unsolved murder in this new thriller from the USA Today bestselling author of The Request. After years of struggling to write after the deaths of his wife and son, English professor Connor Nye publishes his first novel, a thriller about the murder of a young woman. There's just one problem: Connor didn't write the book. His missing student did. And then she appears on his doorstep, alive and well, threatening to expose him. Connor's problems escalate when the police insist details in the novel implicate him in an unsolved murder from two years ago. Soon Connor discovers the crime is part of a disturbing scandal on campus and faces an impossible dilemma-admit he didn't write the book and lose his job or keep up the lie and risk everything. As the murders pile up, Connor must clear his name by unraveling the horrifying secrets buried in his student's manuscript. This is a suspenseful, provocative novel about the sexual harassment that still runs rampant in academia-and the lengths those in power will go to cover it up"-- Provided by publisher

The men and women featured in this book are an eclectic bunch. We have a mutineer; a couple of suffragettes, one of them framed for conspiracy to murder the Prime Minister; a man who led an armed rebellion in 1817; an early Quaker who incurred the bigotry and wrath of the governor of Massachusetts; a volunteer with the International Brigades in the Spanish Civil War; a woman who fought for the abolition of slavery taking on not only the slave-owners but also the gradualist approach advocated by William Wilberforce; the founder of the first newspaper in Newark, sent to prison for selling a Tom Paine pamphlet; an activist of the Windrush Generation; the Beast of Bolsover and many others. What they all have in common is that they had the courage and confidence to take on the power of the establishment - moral courage and often physical courage. They are all heroes worth celebrating, women and men whose example can teach us about the importance of being willing to stand up and fight against cruelty, against unfairness, against bigotry. They show us what it means to be a rebel and a radical.

This critical examination of Husserl's philosophy introduces those who work in the broadly analytic tradition to his arguments and ideas. It traces their origin and the way they developed from the earliest writings on logic to the last works on culture and the Lebenswelt.

The Chesapeake Bay is an amazing body of water—the largest estuary in North America. The first of its kind, this book stimulates elementary- and middle-school children’s interest in the Bay by exposing them to the fascinating creatures and plants found in and around the Bay’s 2,500 square miles. Concepts such as watershed, airshed, and food web are explained in concise, understandable terms. This is an effective means for children to discover the interesting traits of some of the plants, animals, birds, and fish they are likely to find in and around the Bay. A new "Citizen Science" guide to water quality empowers children and adults to monitor the health of local streams and creeks.

The book explores the tumultuous political landscape of New Brunswick, formed in 1784 for Loyalist refugees from the U.S. after the Revolutionary War. As these settlers sought to establish a distinct culture, they became embroiled in fierce power struggles between elite Loyalists and emerging political leaders. This conflict escalated into mob violence and government repression, with the colonial administration stifling dissent and manipulating elections. David G. Bell's research sheds light on the complexities of early Canadian politics, challenging traditional narratives about Loyalists and colonial governance.

Dockmanship, according to author Bell, is the art, skill, and practice of safely berthing and unberthing a vessel. Anyone who has ever spent time observing the action at a marina or boat ramp will concede that the docking practiced by many recreational boaters today can hardly be considered an art.
