Updated third edition of Blossom: Post Indyref Post EUref.

The Nordic countries have a veritable smoergasbord of relationships with the European Union, from in to out to somewhere in between.So, what does that mean for Scotland?Well, somewhere in this incredible diversity of relationships with Europe is an arrangement that's likely to be good for Scotland too - strangely enough, maybe more than one. Inside or outside the UK, Scotland wants to keep trade and cultural links with Europe - that much is clear. But is the EU really the best club in town for an independent Scotland?Or would Scots benefit from `doing a Norway' - joining the halfway house of the EEA and keeping the Single Market but losing the troublesome Common Fisheries and Agriculture Policies?Would an independent Scotland need the support and shelter of another union - or could the nation stand alone like the tiny Faroes or Iceland?These tough questions have already been faced and resolved by five Nordic nations and their autonomous territories within the last 40 years. Perhaps there's something for Scotland to learn?The unique combination of personal experience and experts' insights give this book its hands-on character: pragmatic and thought-provoking, challenging and instructive, full of amazing stories and useful comparisons, enriching the debates about Scotland's post-Brexit future as a Nordic neighbour.Scotland's response to Britain's divided Brexit vote has been positively Nordic - Scots expect diversity and empowerment to be entirely possible - whilst Westminster's reaction has been decidedly British. One singer - one song. One deal for everyone - end of. Lesley RiddochOf course, the majority of Nordic nations are eu members. But perhaps the eea is a closer fit for Scotland? Perhaps, too, a viable halfway house option would boost support for Scottish independence? Especially since Holyrood may not automatically retrieve powers from Europe post Brexit. Paddy Bort

Da alenemoren Joanna får høre et rykte utenfor skoleporten, er det aldri meningen å spre det videre. Men den ene tilfeldige bemerkningen fører til den neste, og nå er det ingen vei tilbake ... Ryktet går om at en notorisk barnemorder med ny identitet har flyttet til den søvnige, lille byen Finstead-on-Sea. Sally McGowan var bare 10 år gammel da hun knivstakk lille Robbie Harris 47 ganger. Det finnes ingen bilder av henne etter at hun ble sluppet ut fra fengsel som en voksen kvinne. Så hvem av dem er denne kaldblodige barnemorderen som nå bor blant dem? Hvor farlig kan et rykte bli? Og hvor langt vil Joanna gå for å beskytte dem hun er glad i, da hun etterhvert innser hva det er hun har satt i gang?

Da Napoleons tropper og vitenskapsmenn invaderte Egypt i 1798, oppdaget de uvurderlige kulturskatter gjemt i gamle templer og graver. Her fant de statuer dekket med rester av et språk som var forsvunnet i et historisk mørke. Gjennom Europa spredde det seg en egyptomani, og utfordringen med å tyde hieroglyfene utviklet seg raskt til et vitenskapelig kappløp. Den offentlige interessen for hvem som ville komme først i mål var enorm, og i sentrum av dette stod den franske egyptologen Jean-François Champollion. Han viet flere års utrettelig arbeid til å knekke koden, blant annet ved hjelp av den berømte Rosetta-steinen.

Eavesdropping on Jane Austen's England explores the real England of Jane Austen's lifetime. It was a troubled period, with disturbing changes in industry and agriculture and a constant dread of invasion and revolution. The comfortable, tranquil country of her fiction is a complete contrast to the England in which she actually lived. From forced marriages and the sale of wives in marketplaces to boys and girls working down mines or as chimney sweeps, this enthralling social history reveals how our ancestors worked, played and struggled to survive. Taking in the horror of ghosts and witches, bull baiting, highwaymen and the stench of corpses swinging on roadside gibbets, this book is a must-read for anyone wanting to discover the genuine story of Jane Austen's England and the background to her novels.

Giovanna's pretty face has changed: it's turning into the face of an ugly, spiteful adolescent. But is she seeing things as they really are? Where must she look to find her true reflection and a life she can claim as her own? Giovanna's search leads her to two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: the Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and the Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. Adrift, she vacillates between these two cities, falling into one then climbing back to the other. Set in a divided Naples, The Lying Life of Adults is a singular portrayal of the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood.

From mod folk artist to flower power pixie elfin to the king of glam rockers, Marc Bolan was the ultimate chameleon. His far reaching musical and stylistic influence is more relevant today than ever with hits such as 'Ride A White Swan', 'Children Of The Revolution', 'Get It On' and 'Hot Love' as fresh and exhilarating as when first released. At the peak of his popularity during his lifetime Bolan was outselling Jimi Hendrix and The Who, and yet relatively little is really known about the hypnotic, enigmatic 20th century boy turned 21st century icon. At last, in the 35th anniversary year of his tragic death, Marc Bolan represents the definite biography. Here rock biographer, Lesley-Ann Jones, paints a meticulous portrait of the T-Rex front man. From his childhood growing up in Hackney to his untimely death at the age of 29, Bolan's life was one of relentless experimentation and metamorphoses. Hallucinogenic drugs, wizardry and levitation, alcoholism, tax evasion and a spectacular fall from grace were to punctuate his short life, as he continued to strive to reinvent himself and his music over and over again. Lesley-Ann has been granted access to those who knew Bolan best, including his partner and the mother of his only son, Gloria Jones and his brother, Harry Feld.
