“The queen of historical fiction.” —The Guardian For fans of Downton Abbey, Atonement and Sebastian Faulks’s Birdsong, the powerful first novel in a series about a privileged British family whose idyllic world is shattered during the First World War “Hard to put down. . . . Gripping, thoughtful, heartbreaking, and, above all, human.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) In the idyllic early summer of 1914, life is good for the de Witt family. Rudolf and Verena are planning their daughter Emmeline’s wedding, while their eldest son, Arthur, is studying in Paris, and Michael is back from his first term at Cambridge. Celia, the youngest de Witt, is on the brink of adulthood and secretly dreams of escaping her carefully mapped-out future. But the onslaught of war changes everything, and the de Witts find themselves in danger of losing all they have. As Celia struggles to make sense of the changing world around her, she lies about her age to join the war effort and finds herself embroiled in a complex plot that puts not only her but those she loves in peril. With cinematic scope and pitch-perfect detail, New York Times–bestselling author Kate Williams tells the unforgettable story of Celia and her family as they are shunned by a society that previously embraced them, torn apart by sorrow and buffeted and changed by the storms of war.

"A love of nature and a need to celebrate what each season offers is at the heart of Kate Williams'' talent and passion for creativity and styling, while her popular floral workshops and garden tours at their rural Canterbury property are sell-out events. In The After-hours Stylist, Kate draws on years of experience to show you how she arranges, creates, paints, cooks and enjoys each season, including Christmas, one of her favourite seasons of all. Whether hosting a tea party, propagating dahlia seeds in the cooler months, baking hot cross buns or arranging a stunning display of foliage and flowers in an antique vase, Kate shows you how to repurpose, think creatively and cultivate simple elegance, in both your garden and your home. With hundreds of stunning photographs from interiors and lifestyle photographer Anna McLeod, this is a rich, comprehensive book full of inspiration and ideas for you to try, and a timely reminder to bask in nature''s breathtaking beauty." -- from publisher.

"A tail, a beak? A roar? A squeak?" There''s so much to choose from in the animal world. Kate Williams''s collection is a zoological excursion populated by a colorful and characterful range of creatures. Some of the poems are lyrical, like the beautifully atmospheric red deer in A Vision on the Moor, or Fox Trot with its final lines: "Quick dash--red flash--vanish." Many are comic, as with Rover, the globe-trotting sheep in Woolly But Cool, or the problematic dental patient in Can''t Snap Out of It who turns out to be a crocodile. Others acknowledge the fragility and vulnerability of some birds and animals like the thrush and the turtle. Stick insects, wombats, hippos, snakes, woodlice and many more find a place in this collection, as diverse in its moods and forms as the animal world it depicts.

Godliness and humour have tussled in Christian history. There is more humour in the Bible than flat readings in contemporary churches might suggest. It has didactic and social functions within the larger comic framework of salvation history. We visit the shape of creation-fall-redemption to see the perversions of humour and its redeemed uses in social critique, effective communication and in strengthening community within the family of God.

"Offshore wind energy developers selling power to the New York State are required to make non-proprietary environmental data publicly available "as soon after collection [as] is practicable for use by third parties in decision-making around adaptive management" (NYSERDA 2020). The requirement is also intended to improve general understanding of wildlife populations and marine ecosystem dynamics (NYSERDA 2019). This report is intended to facilitate transparency and sharing of non-proprietary environmental data for offshore wind (OSW) energy development, including projects selling power to the State, by reviewing key wildlife-focused databases to which data owners can submit their raw data or derived data products"--Summary.
