Book Description
"Please," she begged. Karina didn't know what she begged for, maybe for the flare to do its work or, maybe, for the pain to stop. She never saw which way the flare headed. A coughing fit that ended with a strong taste of blood in her mouth delivered her back into the comforting realm of darkness, back to where problems ceased to exit, and back to where pain could not find her. Fifteen-year-old Karina expects hardships and surprises during her five-month school term at sea aboard the Star Fin, a research vessel designed to turn troubled adolescents into responsible adults. Classes in marine biology and advanced scuba diving help her gain confidence and self-control; but nothing prepares her for encounters with moray eels, a dangerous Portuguese man-of-war, deadly sea snakes, and man-eating sharks. When blood-frenzied sharks viciously attack a family of capsized kayakers, Karina's skills and courage are put to the ultimate test. Her skills are tested even further when Karina and her peers attempt to explore a shipwreck deep in the ocean. After the group is sabotaged and stranded by a fellow classmate, everything that can go wrong, does. Are Karina and her friends strong enough to survive the elements, a sinking ship, and decompression sickness?

Book Description
The Opus Majus of Roger Bacon (c.1214-92) is one of the most influential scientific and philosophical texts of its age and arguably the high point of medieval knowledge of the physical sciences. In the work Bacon makes a plea for the reform of education, emphasizing the rightful role of the sciences in the university curriculum and the interdependence of the various disciplines. Prepared in 1267 at the request of Pope Clement IV, the treatise is a collection of ideas, an encyclopedia of knowledge embracing all science, including language, logic, optics, mathematics, moral philosophy, and physics.

Book Description
It is the summer of 1996. The Cold War is supposedly over. But in a sleepy English village the local doctor is about to stumble across a dark secret that has been buried for over twenty years… Teddy Burton is facing a mid-life crisis, during which he questions his own professional ability and his wife’s fidelity. He sets out on a trail of discovery that leads to a midnight rendezvous on the streets of Cambridge with the mysterious Mr. Pritchard, who reveals a truth far stranger than anything Teddy could have imagined. As the doctor’s life begins to unravel around him, he becomes increasingly drawn into a dangerous world of intrigue, spies and the ultimate betrayal, at the centre of which sits the menacing figure of the man known as 'Victor'. Having found that his past is built on sand, what does the future hold for Teddy, the quiet, unassuming doctor, now that he knows too much? Sleeping Partners is not only a story about espionage, but it also shows one man’s descent from loving husband and respected professional, living a comfortable and unremarkable life, into a strange and frightening world in which he encounters deceit and betrayal. It is the tragedy of this personal journey that sets Sleeping Partners apart from other books of this genre and which broadens its appeal to a wider reading audience.
