Mrs. Beeton’s Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery
The reasons for the publication of this Volume—the First of a Series of Practical Manuals which were to be called the “All About It” Books—were thus explained in a Prospectus issued a few months ago, and approved by the late Mrs. S. O. Beeton:— Many wishes have been expressed to the Authoress of the “Book of Household Management” that a volume of Recipes in Cookery should be written which could be sold at a price somewhere between the seven-and-sixpenny “Household Management” and the Shilling Cookery Book. Accordingly Mrs. Beeton has prepared a Collection of Recipes, and of other Practical Information concerning the Dressing and Serving of Family Fare, which, when completed, will be published, in serviceable binding, at the price of Three Shillings and Sixpence.As Mistress, Cook, and Critic have declared that the details in Mrs. Beeton’s larger work are so easy to understand, the Authoress has followed, in every Recipe printed in the present Dictionary, the same simple plan she originally used. Regarding, however, the arrangement of the Recipes, the Authoress has chosen the Dictionary form, believing an alphabetical arrangement to be the best for a book that is being constantly referred to. By the adoption of a very intelligible system, all cross reference, and that very disagreeable[viii] parenthesis (See So-and-so) is avoided, except in a very few instances. Where any warning as to what should not be done is likely to be needed, it is given, as well as advice as to what ought to be done. No pains have been thought too great to make little things clearly understood. Trifles constitute perfection. It is just the knowledge or ignorance of little things that usually makes the difference between the success of the careful and experienced housewife or servant, and the failure of her who is careless and inexperienced. Mrs.

BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography
*Available for Pre-Order Now* They don’t make footballers – and football autobiographies – like this anymore. The brutally honest, riotously entertaining story of the much-loved Everton legend and iconic Premier League bad boy.
‘A legend’ Carlo Ancelotti
‘One of life’s good guys. Kind and generous. I loved my time playing up front with the Big Man. I could see the fear of defenders standing in the tunnel before a ball was kicked. As you can imagine, I’d much rather him be a teammate than be an opponent. ‘ Alan Shearer
‘Duncan Ferguson is an iconic figure for Evertonians as a great number 9, but he is also held in the highest regard by most of the city of Liverpool, for his generosity and being seen as one of us. Big Dunc loves the scousers & the scousers love him!’ Jamie Carragher
____________________________________________________________________Praised by Wayne Rooney and Sir Alex Ferguson as one of the greatest and most passionate players to ever play the game, Duncan Ferguson, or Big Dunc as he is known, is larger than life in every sense. Measuring a towering 6 feet 4 inches in height, from the moment the striker emerged in British football in the 1990s, he was front and back page news.
On the pitch, fans loved Duncan for his roguish charm, his thrilling goals and his total commitment in every game. Fighting tooth and nail, he was a born leader and took no prisoners. Like his rival Roy Keane, he played close to the limit, and often crossed it. Such as the time he was sentenced to 3 months in Glasgow’s toughest prison for headbutting an opponent – the first and only time a footballer has ever gone to jail for a crime committed on a football pitch.
In BIG DUNC: The Upfront Autobiography, Duncan reveals, for the first time, the full story: the truth about his experiences in prison, his partying with African princes and Liverpool gangsters, his fighting with burglars, his making and losing a fortune, and how he turned his life around through his beloved Everton F.C..
In the process, the book sheds light on one of football’s most charismatic but notorious and enigmatic hardmen. Duncan is now a coach and manager at Inverness Caledonian Thistle F.C.. He is a pillar of the community in Merseyside, giving back to stricken children who share a similar tough upbringing to his own. Duncan’s book takes readers on a rollercoaster ride of humour, drama and redemption. Buckle up.
‘Duncan is possibly the most misunderstood man in football. His football IQ and knowledge of the game is second to none, couple that with the person he is and you’ve got nothing but quality.’ Tony Bellew

Bigger than Hitler – Better than Christ
In this electrifying autobiography, Rik stands naked in front of his vast legions of fans and disciples and invites them to take communion with the blood he has spilled for them during his thirty year war on show business.
He invented alternative comedy with The Young Ones, he brought down the Thatcher administration with The New Statesman and he changed the face of global culture with his masterpiece Bottom. Not only was his number one single ‘Living Doll’ the saviour of rock ‘n’ roll but he also rescued the British film industry with the vast revenues created by his legendary movie Drop Dead Fred. In 1998, he survived an assassination attempt and spent five days in a coma before he literally came back from the dead. Having completed countless phenomenal feature films, TV series, live extravaganzas and radio voice-overs since then, Rik Mayall is now poised on the brink of a whole new epoch-shattering revolution.
For the first time ever, Rik reveals in print the deep inner truth behind his gargantuan ascent to the pinnacle of international light entertainment – the mental hospitals he has broken out of, the television executives he has assaulted, the drugs he has definitely not taken, the charities he has bankrupted, the countless pregnancies he has engendered, and so much more.

India’s explosive rise has driven inequality to new extremes, with millions trapped in slums as billionaires spend lavishly and dodge taxes. Controversial prime minister Narendra Modi promised ‘to break the grip’ of the Bollygarchs, but many tycoons continue to thrive amidst the scandals, exerting huge influence over business and politics.
But who are these titans of politics and industry shaping India through this period of breakneck change? And what kind of superpower are they creating?
A vivid portrait of a deeply divided nation, The Billionaire Raj makes clear that India’s destiny – prosperous democratic giant or corrupt authoritarian regime – is something that should concern us all.

Billionaire Undeceived ~ Devon: (Montana Billionaire’s #3) (The Billionaire’s Obsession Book 22)
Billionaire Undeceived from New York Times Bestselling Author J.S. Scott.I’d moved from the city to rural Montana for a reason. Unfortunately, I couldn’t share that reason with anyone, including Devon Remington, no matter how hard the insufferable billionaire tried to pry into my personal life.
Devon was a thorn in my side. The cynical jerk had been trying to find out my secrets since the day I’d arrive in Crystal Fork, Montana.
We despised each other…until the day when everything changed between the two of us, and I started to see another side of the infuriating man.
Problem was, I couldn’t allow myself to get too close to him, no matter how much I wanted to get to know the enigmatic man.
And I definitely couldn’t give in to the white hot chemistry between the two of us.
Devon could never really know me, and I had a feeling that the gorgeous man had secrets of his own that he’d never share with anyone.
I told myself that we needed to keep our secrets and our hands to ourselves.
Simple, right?
Yeah, it should have been easy, but things eventually became much more complicated than I ever could have imagined…
Author Note: Billionaire Undeceived is a book from the Montana Billionaires from The Billionaire’s Obsession series. For maximum enjoyment of this book, I suggest reading the Montana Billionaires in order, starting with Kaleb’s book, Billionaire Unexplained. The Montana Billionaires series is a small town, billionaire romance series with no cheating and a guaranteed HEA.

Biochemistry For Dummies
It’s alive! It’s alive! (Thanks to biochemistry, that is.)
Biochemistry is the science of the chemical processes that allow for…well…life. If it moves, breathes, eats, or sleeps, biochemistry can probably explain how. So, it stands to reason that the fundamentals of biochemistry can get a little complicated.
In Biochemistry For Dummies, you’ll explore the carbons, proteins, and cellular systems that make up the biochemical processes that create and sustain life of all kinds. Perfect for students majoring in biology, chemistry, pre-med, health-services, and other science-related fields, this book tracks a typical college-level biochemistry class. It simplifies and clarifies the subject with easy-to-follow diagrams and real-world examples. You’ll also get:
- Explorations of cell biology, carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and other fundamental building blocks of life
- Discussions of the basic structures common to all living organisms
- Treatments of the microscopic details of life that make us all tick
If you’re looking for a hand with some of the trickier parts of biochemistry―or you just need an accessible overview of the subject―check out Biochemistry For Dummies today!

Biology Made Real: Ways of Teaching that Inspire Meaning-Making
‘This outstanding book… deserves to be very widely read. I hope it makes a major contribution to how school biology is taught.’
—Dr Michael J. Reiss, Professor of Science Education, University of London‘This is a book that all teachers, not just biology teachers should read.’
—Ben Strathearn-Burrows, Head of Biology, Emanuel SchoolIntroduction
I’ve been motivated to discover what biology is to us as humans. What it means to understand biology, and how I could make it meaningful for my students. I’ve read as much as I could and reflected, I’ve discussed and listened, I’ve taught and observed. This book is about sharing what I’ve learnt with my secondary-school mixed-attainment biology classes.‘Not only is this book likely to change how you teach biology but also how you perceive yourself within the living world.’
—Dr Alex Sinclair, Institute of Education, St Mary’s University, TwickenhamWhat you’ll find inside:
- A vision for an integrated and meaningful biology education.
- A framework for teaching for meaning-making, which cuts planning time.
- Ways of creating a unified narrative across disparate topics.
- A taxonomy of understanding that unlocks problem-solving with minimal workload.
- Tried and tested examples from mixed-attainment biology classrooms.
Chapter 1: Meaningful biology relates principally to organisms:
This sets the scene for the whole book. It brings together many threads to define what I see as most meaningful to secondary biology students. And therefore what we could do about it when designing our lessons & curricula and thinking about how students progress through their biology education. Planning for meaning-making has vastly enhanced interest and motivation to learn in my classroom.Chapters 2 & 3: Teaching for meaning using variation theory:
Next I introduce a powerful—relatively unknown and often misunderstood—pedagogical theory. Variation theory. In these chapters I set out to show how useful it is—and easy to use—in the secondary biology classroom, with many examples.Chapter 4: How to integrate organisms, ecology & evolution:
Now I pull together the previous chapters to present a new framework for teaching for meaning-making that cuts planning time & focuses on biology.‘An excellent text demanding we think not just about what we teach but also why and how.’
—Dr Paul Ganderton, Consultant and researcherChapter 5: Concepts of the organism that unite a biology course:
Here I discuss two concepts that I think can unify all the topics on the curriculum.
1. Seeing biology through thermodynamic systems lens and
2. Seeing biology through an ecological-evolutionary lens via the concept of life strategies. I lay out the reasons why and discuss how I’ve introduced these ideas with students.Chapter 6: Teaching systems thinking to help students see interconnectedness:
I show how stock and flow diagrams are very useful for the biology classroom and give examples. Next, I introduce a new taxonomy of understanding biological systems that unlocks problem-solving in biology.Chapter 7: Establishing a thinking classroom:
This chapter is focused on the whys and hows of embedding the taxonomy into biology curricula. I give examples of how I use it and examples of my students answers from lower and upper secondary courses.Chapter 8: Navigating classroom and biological complexity:
This chapter rounds up the book by considering the complexity of our subject and the classroom.‘Biology Made Real comes with an education health warning—be prepared to have your beliefs challenged.’

Biomechanics of Injury
Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, explains the biomechanical principles of injury and how injuries affect the normal function of human anatomy. With a clear, accessible writing style and nearly 400 full-color photos and anatomy illustrations, it guides readers through the mechanical concepts of injuries without a heavy emphasis on mathematics.Previously titled Biomechanics of Musculoskeletal Injury, this third edition expands coverage of injuries beyond those of the musculoskeletal system to include the head, neck, and spine. Joining noted biomechanists Ronald Zernicke and William Whiting is concussion expert and athletic trainer Steven Broglio, who offers insights on head trauma and other neurological injuries. Unique in its evaluation of and appreciation for the intricacies of injury mechanisms, Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, comprehensively examines these issues:
- The mechanical aspects of injury and the concept of injury as a stimulus for beneficial tissue adaptations
- The effects of injury on the normal function of the human anatomy and joint mechanics
- Mechanical parameters such as force, stress and strain, stiffness, and elasticity and their application to tissue mechanics and injury
- How connective tissues respond to mechanical loading and how those tissues are studied to quantify their mechanical behavior
- Factors such as age, gender, nutrition, and exercise, with an emphasis on how lifestyle choices might lessen the chance or severity of injury
- How the principles of mechanical load and overload, use and overuse, level and progression of injury, and the many contributory factors involved in injury combine to form a backdrop for viewing specific injuries
Updated sidebars present a detailed analysis of anterior cruciate ligament injuries, rotator cuff pathologies, and concussion. In addition, the text discusses topics of current concern such as falls in older populations, throwing-related rotator cuff pathologies, and youth injuries from carrying backpacks.
Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, also employs learning aids to help readers understand and retain information. Objectives at the start of each chapter highlight the main concepts. Key terms appear in bold in the text and are defined in the glossary. Key Points at the end of each chapter summarize central concepts. Questions to Consider appear at the end of each chapter to test readers’ understanding and ability to apply the information presented. Updated Suggested Readings are included at the end of each chapter for readers who wish to dive deeper into selected topics.
Knowledge of the biological responses of tissues to mechanical loading improves our understanding of injury and its consequences. Biomechanics of Injury, Third Edition, will enable students and health professionals to reduce the likelihood that clients, patients, or athletes will experience painful and debilitating physical injury.
