Behind every disease is a story, a complex narrative woven of multiple threads, from the natural history of the disease, to the tale of its discovery and its place in history. But what is vital in all of this is how the disease spreads and develops. In The Atlas of Disease, Sandra Hemple reveals how maps have uncovered insightful information about the history of disease, from the seventeenth century plague maps that revealed the radical idea that diseases might be carried and spread by humans, to cholera maps in the 1800s showing the disease was carried by water, right up to the AIDs epidemic in the 1980s and the recent Ebola outbreak. Crucially, The Atlas of Disease will also explore how cartographic techniques have been used to combat epidemics by revealing previously hidden patterns. These discoveries have changed the course of history, affected human evolution, stimulated advances in medicine and shaped the course of countless lives.

Brought to the palace as a newborn, the royal life bestowed upon Mackenna Sparrow was never meant to last forever. With Princess Alina engaged to be married, Mackenna's presence as companion is no longer required and, like it or not, she must return to the birthright which should have been hers - that of a commoner. But not everyone at the palace wants her gone. When the truths she’s based her life on start crumbling as fast as her future, will she find the courage to trust, both herself and the prince she’s fallen in love with?

To the watching world, Princess Alina has it all—maids to serve her, a kingdom to revere her, a prince to marry her, and a wardrobe filled with enough frills, flounces, and shades of pink to rival a flower shop. But behind the smiles and designer clothes, Alina has a secret. She’s barely holding it together. After a moment of panic almost ends in tragedy, Alina is sent to a refuge far from the palace to recuperate. Her family claims it’s for her own good but—faced with cows, knife-beaked ducks, and far too many of her own insecurities—Alina is pretty sure it will kill her first. And Joha Samson, infuriating man that he is, will laugh as it does. Only there’s more to Joha than she realizes, and more to herself too. When the time comes to make a stand, will she find the courage?

It is impossible to imagine London without the Tube: the beating heart of the city, the Underground shuttles over a billion passengers each year below its busy streets and across its leafy suburbs. The distinctive roundel, colour-coded maps and Johnston typeface have become design classics, recognised and imitated worldwide.Opening in 1863, the first sections were operated by steam engines, yet throughout its long history the Tube has been at the forefront of contemporary design, pioneering building techniques, electrical trains and escalators, and business planning. Architects such as Leslie W. Green and Charles Holden developed a distinctively English version of Modernism, and the latest stations for the Jubilee line extension, Overground and Elizabeth line carry this aesthetic forward into the twenty-first century.In this major work published in association with Transport for London, Tube expert Oliver Green traces the history of the Underground, following its troubles and triumphs, its wartime and peacetime work, and the essential part it has played in shaping London’s economy, geography, tourism and identity. Specially commissioned photography by Benjamin Graham (UK Landscape Photographer of the Year 2017) brings the story to life in vivid portraits of London Underground’s stations, tunnels and trains.

“The children closed their eyes in order to enjoy the sensations more fully and when they opened them again the restaurant had vanished…”Aaron and Stella spend every summer at their grandparents’ house, playing on the beach in the day, and eating sushi at night. One evening, the children try some special sushi which transports them to an alternate universe – The Land of the Mind, a place traditionally governed by maths and quantum physics, which is being taken over by evil and chaos.With the many different areas in the Land of the Mind being ruled over by the Dark Lords of Intolerance, Fear, Pride, Indifference, Betrayal and Despair, the children are tasked with rescuing the Book of Understanding, which contains all the rules on how to live a good life.Chosen because of their relationship to the Golden Ratio known as Phi (1.618), Aaron and Stella travel on a Phi-Flyer and are guided by a wise raven called Sophie (who is both a particle and a wave). The children must learn how to navigate the infinite dimensions of quantum physics to save the Land of the Mind from falling into the hands of chaos.Travels with Sushi in the Land of the Mind is an atmospheric children’s novel by Eduard Shyfrin which introduces children to quantum physics and classic morality through an adventure in another universe. D. It has parallels with Alice in Wonderland, although the children in this book must face situations which are far more challenging and dangerous than Lewis Carroll had in mind. It’s a celebration of the power of words and the role of science, exquisitely illustrated by the talented Tomislav Tomic. Beautifully produced, Travels with Sushi makes a perfect gift, and is an educational, fun and imaginative debut novel.

In order to get to the Orwellians, you and Candela must follow their trail all over London. The chapters of the book are jumbled up, and to know where to continue reading, you must solve the puzzles, optical illusions, conundrums and anagrams that you find.

The author, Sharlotte J. Brian, describes her supernatural experiences after a divine spiritual awakening one pivotal weekend. In this book, you will get a glimpse of her world and discover how her spiritually transformative experiences activated her spiritual gifts. She shares in detail, true stories of her personal visions that include encounters with angels, out of body experiences, prophetic visions, words of knowledge, and Holy Spirit guided journaling. You will read how Sharlotte received godly messages for other people, how she delivered them, and in what way these messages were life-changing for them and as well as for her. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: From the outside looking in, Sharlotte lived an all-American life most little girls only dreamed of living. She is a true Southern Belle from the Deep South, yet no one knew the pain she suffered behind closed doors that eventually led her to a personal crisis. On her quest to heal, Sharlotte fully surrendered to God on August 27, 2011, when she attended a Christian women’s retreat. After watching other women being prayed over, Sharlotte suddenly realized that she had never been individually prayed for in her life. When she finally did go forward and was prayed for, she soon felt a bubbling up from deep within her being. The bubbling rose up through her body to her mouth, and when she opened her mouth, a heavenly language began to flow out of it. This experience would launch the first of many spiritually transformative experiences that she began to encounter. Immediately afterward, Sharlotte began to see visions, and the visions quickly came to pass. She also became aware of a godly presence around her, a godly energy that she could tangibly feel. It draped over her head and shoulders like a blanket. When this presence rested upon her, she felt an overwhelming unction to write, and so she did. Sharlotte began to meet God in her prayer closet on a regular basis, where beautiful messages and detailed visions would pour out onto the pages of her notebooks. Many times as she wrote, Sharlotte would hear a person’s name being repeated over and over in her mind. She knew God was communicating with her and the message that was written was specifically for that person. When Sharlotte gave the person their message, it was life-changing for them as well as for her. Since then, God has continued to use her healed pain to shape her godly purpose. Sharlotte’s story is featured in the book, Strong Women New Edition: How to Live an Empowered Life Beyond Adversity, by Cherie Rickard. You can find her interviews on podcast shows, which include Real Girl Talk Podcast Show, as well as other media outlets. A broader scope of Sharlotte’s written work appears in a weekly newspaper column named Words from Above, in The Pointe Coupee Banner newspaper, New Roads, Louisiana. Sharlotte’s first published book, Prophetic Writings: Secrets from My Prayer Closet, is available for purchase at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and Books-A-Million.
