Phobias
Millions suffer from one phobia or another. A comprehensive study that explores and reassures, which Library Journal proclaims "is the only one of its kind."

Conan Doyle for the Defence
Just before Christmas 1908, Marion Gilchrist, a wealthy 82-year-old spinster, was found bludgeoned to death in her Glasgow home. A valuable diamond brooch was missing, and police soon fastened on a suspect - Oscar Slater, a Jewish immigrant who was rumoured to have a disreputable character. Slater had an alibi, but was nonetheless convicted and sentenced to death, later commuted to life imprisonment in the notorious Peterhead Prison. Seventeen years later, a convict called William Gordon was released from Peterhead. Concealed in a false tooth was a message, addressed to the only man Slater thought could help him - Arthur Conan Doyle. Always a champion of the downtrodden, Conan Doyle turned his formidable talents to freeing Slater, deploying a forensic mind worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Drawing from original sources including Oscar Slater's prison letters, this is Margalit Fox's vivid and compelling account of one of the greatest miscarriages of justice in Scottish history.
Protest, Defiance and Resistance in the Channel Islands
The Nazi occupation of Europe of World War Two is acknowledged as a defining juncture and an important identity-building experience throughout contemporary Europe. Resistance is what 'saves' European societies from an otherwise chequered record of collaboration on the part of their economic, political, cultural and religious elites. Opposition took pride of place as a legitimizing device in the post-war order and has since become an indelible part of the collective consciousness. Yet there is one exception to this trend among previously occupied territories: the British Channel Islands. Collective identity construction in the islands still relies on the notion of 'orderly and correct relations' with the Germans, while talk of 'resistance' earns raised eyebrows. The general attitude to the many witnesses of conscience who existed in the islands remains ambiguous. This book conversely and expertly argues that there was in fact resistance against the Germans in the Channel Islands and is the first text to fully explore the complex relationship that existed between the Germans and the people of the only part of the British Isles to experience occupation.
California Undersea Aqueduct Reconnaissance
The report discusses the possibility of conveying fresh water from northern to southern California via a subsurface offshore aqueduct (the California Undersea Aqueduct). The specific region investigated was between Crescent City and San Diego from the 20- to 200-m depth contour. All available data on relevant variables were analyzed to provide information for aqueduct planning decisions. The variables and analyses most influential in planning the California Undersea Aqueduct were divided into two categories: variables influencing the 100-year survival of the aqueduct(century risks) and variables influencing the construction and maintenance of the aqueduct. Waves, surges, tsunamis, density, and light do not appear on the basis of reconnaissance data to pose insurmountable problems. Surface, water column, and bottom currents, including upwelling and internal wave phenomena, may or may not be prohibitive; data are inadequate, and additional information must be obtained from in situ observations. Canyons are not an insurmountable threat, but will pose innovative engineering challenges and probably be quite expensive. Additional data will also be required on these processes. (Author).
