After months on the run, Allie returns to find the school in turmoil. The atmosphere is thick with danger. Overshadowing it all is Nathaniel. He is close - very close - to getting everything he wants. A secret civil war is tearing the British political elite apart. And Allie’s family is in the thick of it. Both sides want her. She knows Nathaniel will take her by any means necessary. But she is determined to fight him to the end. With Carter and Sylvain both at her side, Allie must make up her mind - once and for all - who she really loves. And who she trusts most of all. The fightback starts here. Everything is at stake now. Will everyone survive to tell the tale? Resistance is the thrilling fourth book in the internationally best-selling Night School series.

Published in 1889, Flora's Feast was the first of a series of remarkable books, and anticipated the full flowering of art nouveau. In exploiting the page as 'a space to be made beautiful in design', Crane succeeds in combining water colour tinting with the technique of the wood-block colour process which must be considered one of the great achievements of the Victorian age. This facsimile edition is a reproduction of the first edition.

Without the three-masted fully rigged ship the European discovery of the Americas, the Indies, and the Far East would have been impossible; without its broadside battery of cannon European domination of these areas would never have been achieved. Thus the sailing ship of war played a significant part in the shaping of the modern world. Fighting ships were the principal instruments of national power and the largest and most complex machines of their day. This book is a comprehensive survey of their technical development from 1400 to 1860, from the advent of the three-masted ship to the eclipse of naval sail. Incorporating much new information the book deals in detail with the hull design and construction, fittings, armament, masting, rigging, and appearance of wooden warships. Special attention has been paid to the numerous illustrations which include plans and diagrams, and photographs of the most accurate contemporary models, prints and paintings
