Bad Blood: An absolutely gripping and addictive crime thriller (Detective Kim Stone Book 19)
The victim is lying under the trees, arms lifted above his head, unnaturally still. His muscles are slack. His eyes are empty. There are no signs of life. But he is not quite dead…When Detective Kim Stone races to the crime scene, there is no body waiting for her: the paramedics are desperately trying to save the victim’s life. But there is something very strange about the way the man was found, his arms raised above his head, his legs spread apart. When he dies on the way to the hospital, Kim is certain she’s on the hunt for a killer… but all evidence at the scene has been destroyed.
The dead man, Eric Gould, seems ordinary, until the team dig into his past. As a teenager, he was locked away for attacking his girlfriend, and Kim suspects he was hurting his fiancé now. Was someone trying to stop history repeating?
Then another man is found on the verge of death, his bones broken to force him into an unnatural shape. The team realise the killer is sending a message – the victims’ bodies are spelling out their sins. As boys, they were both part of a group of six who bragged about their terrible crimes. But they were children then, and when she sees the grief on the faces of their loved ones now, Kim swears to find answers.
Is someone finally getting revenge… or do they think these men are still dangerous? The killer is threatening to strike again, and the only way Kim can crack the case is by tracking down the rest of the six first.
But then a revelation about what one of her team is suffering makes Kim understand why people take the law into their own hands. Do these victims deserve what’s coming to them? Or is there even more to fear from their brutal killer?
Unputdownable from start to finish, Bad Blood is a brilliantly gripping crime thriller with a reveal you’ll never see coming. Fans of Karin Slaughter, Robert Dugoni and Val McDermid will love the latest compulsive read from multi-million-copy bestseller Angela Marsons.

The Making of Prince of Persia: Journals 1985-1993
A deep dive into the origins of the epic, bestselling video game, in the creator’s own words.The creator of one of the most innovative and bestselling video games of all time gives an unvarnished look into the creative process in this one-of-a-kind compilation.
Before Prince of Persia was a best-selling video game franchise and a Disney movie, it was an Apple II computer game created and programmed by one person: Jordan Mechner. Mechner’s candid and revealing journals from the time capture the journey from his parents’ basement to the forefront of the fast-growing 1980s video game industry—and the creative, technical, and personal struggles that brought the Prince into being and, ultimately, into the homes of millions of people worldwide.
Now, on the 30th anniversary of Prince of Persia’s release, Mechner looks back at the journals he kept from 1985 to 1993, offering new insights into the game that established him as a pioneer of cinematic storytelling in the industry. This beautifully illustrated and annotated collector’s edition includes:
- 300 pages of Mechner’s original journals
- Present-day margin notations by Mechner adding explanation, context, and affectionate cartoons of real-life characters
- Archival visuals illustrating the stages of the game’s creation
- Work-in-progress sketches, rotoscoped animation, screenshots, interface design, memos, and moreA full-color 32-page “Legacy” section in which Mechner and fans share Prince of Persia memories from the past 30 years, including the Ubisoft games and Disney movie
The Making of Prince of Persia is both a tribute to a timeless classic and an indelible look at the creative process that will resonate with retro-gaming fans, game developers, and writers, artists, and creators of all stripes.

In early childhood education it has been demonstrated that a correlation exists between the level of a child’s mathematical ability and their future academic success. The reverse of this relationship has also been observed, where children who are behind the mathematical skills of their peers, continue to fall behind in future studies (Pelkowski, et al. 2019).Furthermore, it is well established in literature that the more maths learning opportunities a child is exposed to, the more growth they will experience in math knowledge (Piasta, et al. 2015).
???? Logic
- 20 x Pattern Recognition Problems
- 30 x Sudoku Puzzles
- 30 x 2D Mazes
- 30 x 3D Mazes
In today’s ‘Age of Information’, it is of great importance to equip students with critical thinking, and logical reasoning skills to effectively decipher and make meaning from large amounts of information (Fitzgerald, 2005). Logical reasoning assists in construction of concepts and knowledge in the learning process (Ongcoy, 2016). This book includes logic puzzles to promote the cognitive development and logical reasoning to improve their academic performance in high school, and beyond (Bouhnik, Giat, 2009)! Shayer and Adey (1993) found that at the completion of a 2-year science program designed to promote formal operational thinking, improvements were seen in maths, english and science results in the British National Examinations.
This book is designed to provide a learning opportunity to foster the curiosity and confidence of children aged 9 – 14 and set them well on the path to academic success. ???? ????

Centenary Babe – Nursing Days: Adelaide, South Australia 1952 to 1959
“These nursing experiences are TRUE TO LIFE!”If you are looking for facts, documented history, historical accuracy ………. this is not the book for you! This is a personal account by Janet Cornelius of her dream to become a children’s nurse and her experiences along the way, during the 1950’s. She writes with expression and bits of drama from her days. Her nursing friend Dorothy Kitto when reading the book stated “all I can say is these nursing experiences are VERY TRUE TO LIFE!”
Read, enjoy and be inspired that an ‘ordinary’ life is in fact an ‘extraordinary life’ when you look at it differently!
“Hurrah! I have finished with school days…….. All I now wished to do was to be a nurse, nursing babies and children. I was still only 15 years and 7 months old. I had to be 18 to begin training.
So I became the very first Casualty Porteress…………….. How proud I was of my blue cross-over overall. I remember changing in the Red Cross “Room” in Casualty itself. The room itself had only four walls, no roof, but still called a “room”. Each morning I started at 8.00a.m. and worked until 5.00p.m.”“How wonderful it was to learn to roll cotton wool swabs/balls. All the cotton wool came in large rolls and had to be rolled into small balls by hand, teasing the cotton wool out to make it light and then rolling it into balls in the palm of my hand.”
“Each day’s work was different. I never knew what I was going to do but I enjoyed this variety very much. Working with so many different people was a great lesson for me. I began to grow up as I saw more of the world. One of the people that I met was “Harry”. Yes, I do remember him. He was a mine of information. Any difficulties was a chance to go and see Harry. He was my original “Mr. Fix It”
“Most of these [baby] bottles went to Rose Ward…….. This was one of my favourite wards. We had babies from just born to three months old. It was a lovely ward to work in BUT OH SO BUSY. There were four cots to each cubicle and we were given a cubicle to look after. If we started at 7.00a.m. we had to “top and tail” (wash the face and bottom, and change the nappy, no throw away nappies) of each baby before feeding it. We had 1 1/4 hours to do this AND feed each one. We were not allowed to “prop” a bottle, that is leave it on the pillow so the baby could suck the teat, while we watched and fed another one. OH NO! definitely not allowed.”
Now three years of training were coming to an end. I was studying very hard. My final exams were approaching and I had to pass the University exam plus the Adelaide Children’s Hospital theory and practical exam. A group of us walked to the university exam together which was to take place at the university itself. Our last walk from the Children’s Hospital to the building where we had sat through so many lectures.”
So whether you are into nursing, history, or the social life during the 1950’s in South Australia, this could be the book for you!
There is no high drama, just the everyday experiences of not having the school grades and having to study again, being the first nurse on hand as a boy is hit by a train, and then the unexpected romance at 24 years of falling in love with an RAF man from England, and making the long 5 weeks’ sea journey to England where she knew no-one……. and all this in the years before mobile phones, internet and telephone calls across the Atlantic were direct dial without the operator listening in!

The Elements of Nursing: A Model for Nursing Based on a Model of Living
This third edition is essentially for begining nursing students. It is not a comprehensive text in the sense of covering all aspects of nursing knowledge and practice required in the course of a basic education programme; rather, it encourages a logical mode of thinking about nursing in the framework of a model for nursing. The presentation of the book itself has been rearranged and its content substantially revised and updated. Section one has been changed. Its introductory chapter emphasizes the link between nursing and health – a point which is stressed increasingly by the World Health Organization. The content of the second chapter is new. It includes a discussion, albeit brief, of some of the other internationally well-known models for nursing, in order to provide an understanding of the context in which the Roper, Logan and Tierney model can be considered. Section 2 has been considerably altered; the objective here being to present this model more clearly, incorporating some of the refinements which have been made since the last edition. It commences with a chronological account of the background to the model showing how it developed from research. Subsequently, the model of living and the model for nursing are discussed sequentially. In the previous editions they were separated by three brief chapters introducing some concepts about biology, psychology and sociology. This may have been more appropriate when the first edition was published, but increasingly nursing students are expected to study the biological and social sciences as foundation subjects, so these three chapters have been omitted. Instead the third edition emphazises more than previously, the application of such knowledge in the context of “factors affecting the ALs”, a component of the model Section 3, as before, consists of 12 chapters, one devoted to each of the 12 `Activities of Living’, the main component of the model. All of these chapters have been extensively revised, obviously to update the content but also to reflect the five components of the model more clearly than in the second edition. The first half of each chapter discusses the nature of AL, mainly in the context of healthy living; the second half provides selected examples of the problems related to the ALs which can be caused by illness.Read more
