Soft cover. Condizione: Good. From the seamy prisons of Mexico to the glamorous movie sets of L.A. and the lush and exclusive resorts of Santa Fe, Ed Eagle and his team of private detectives must hunt or be hunted. Ed Eagle- the six-foot-seven, take-no-prisoners Santa Fe attorney- is no stranger to murder, corruption, or organized crime- both north and south of the border. His home in Santa Fe, a picturesque desert town where the wealthy enjoy the good life, seems like a welcome retreat from the grit and crime of big cities. But looks can be deceiving. A puzzling murder in a golfer's hacienda brings in a new client for Ed, but while his time is spent unraveling a complex web of sex, money, and false identity, a much more dangerous threat lurks. A ruthless and implacable enemy who has proved more than a match for him in the past has returned to Santa Fe, and this time she wants nothing less than all-out retribution. Language: eng. From the seamy prisons of Mexico, to the glamorous movie sets of L.A. and the lush and exclusive resorts of Santa Fe, Ed Eagle and his team of private detectives must hunt or be hunted.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Sometimes it feels as though everybody has an opinion on how you should bring up your child and no two people seem to agree on how it should be done for the best! Parenting with Reason cuts through the masses of confusing and often contradictory advice about parenting by providing hard evidence to back up the tough decisions all parents face. Unlike many self-help guides to parenting which are based on the opinion of one author, this book is based on many findings from scientific research, giving you a trustworthy, evidence-based guide to help see your way through parenting dilemmas. Written by a clinical psychologist, a developmental psychologist and a doctor of family medicine, the book looks at pressing questions such as: 'What should I do when my child acts up?', 'How can I get my baby to sleep through the night?' and 'How do I begin to toilet-train my child?' The authors, who are also parents themselves, debunk common myths about parenting, such as the notion that a healthy baby needs to be able to breastfeed at will throughout the night, or the idea that children who are adopted need specialized counselling. They also cover issues such as how children might be affected by seeing violence on television, how a parents psychological health can affect their child, what the scientific evidence is for and against circumcision, and how divorce and adoption affect a childs development. The end of each chapter gives you 'The Bottom Line', a handy summary of the key points of each issue. This book is ideal for new or prospective parents, and paediatricians, family health providers and anyone who works with children and their parents will also find the books objective, scientific approach useful in their work.

Condizione: New. 2005 N&M Press reprint (of original 1853 pub). SB. viii + 209pp with 2 maps. Published Price £14.50 Written after the author had retired from the army into the ranks of the Leicestershire Police, this is a rare worm's eye view of British military service in India in the mid-19th century. John Ryder was an illiterate working man when he took the queen's shilling ( he learned to read and write in the army) but, as the editor of his memoirs patronisingly writes 'though ungrammatical, the bright ore gleamed through the rough earth in which [the manuscript] was encrusted'. The book is indeed a vividly rough and ready acount of the author's Indian military service, including honest accounts of atrocities ( some by British troops); military actions including the siege of Mooltan; as well as the more ordinary trials and tribulations in the heat and dust of India. An eye-opening account of great value to all those who want a taste of the sweaty reality at the sharp end of life in the armed service of the East India Company. Book.…
