Runner-up for the Whitbread Biography Award of 1987.
This is the story of the man who saved Britain from invasion and gave it maritime supremacy.
Juxtaposing details of his daily life, loves, friendships and opinions with the great events which make him one of the most memorable figures in British history, Horatio Nelson gives us the admiral in all of his flawed and brilliant humanity.
Written with obvious authority, it takes us through his life from birth to death, not only with a wealth of new research, but also with a richness of quotation from contemporary letters and papers which provide dramatic details.
Horatio Nelson should have as much appeal to the general reader as to those with a knowledge of the naval history of the times.

Описание: In Victorian London at the height of the industrial revolution, Horatio Lyle is a former Special Constable with a passion for science and invention. He's also an occasional, but reluctant, sleuth. The truth is that he'd rather be in his lab tinkering with dangerous chemicals and odd machinery than running around the cobbled streets of London trying to track down stolen goods.
But when Her Majesty's Government calls, Horatio swaps his microscope for a magnifying glass, fills his pockets with things that explode and sallies forth to unravel a mystery of a singularly extraordinary nature. Thrown together with a reformed (i.e. 'caught') pickpocket called Tess, and a rebellious (within reason) young gentleman called Thomas, Lyle and his faithful hound, Tate, find themselves pursuing an ancient Chinese plate, a conspiracy that reaches to the highest levels of polite society and a dangerous enemy who may not even be human.
Solving the crime will be hard enough - surviving would be a bonus...

Описание:
Meet Ratio Holmes! He's not really the great, great grandson of the fictional character Sherlock Holmes, but all the other kids seem to think he is. Now he's a detective whether he likes it or not. Still, he's creative, good at thinking through facts, and has a wicked smart best friend, Jinju. Together, they might make great detectives after all!
Ratio Holmes has no intention of continuing detective work after his first case. That is until a green backpack, an art competition, and a friend in need come together. Jimmy-called-James has been accused of vandalizing another artist's painting. Even with Jinju's help, it won't be easy for Ratio to prove his friend's innocence to the satisfaction of the Longtides Elementary Art Teacher: Ratio's mom.

Описание: This book is a critical resource for understanding the relationship between gender, social policy and women`s activism in Latin America, with specific reference to Chile. Latin America`s mother-centered kinship system makes it an ideal field in which to study motherhood and maternalism-the ways in which motherhood becomes a public policy issue.
