Presented here for the first time in a single volume, is the entire corpus of short fiction by Edward Heron-Allen, one of England's most intriguing, and unnecessarily obscure, authors. From "The Suicide of Sylvester Gray," the novella which was an inspiration for The Portrait of Dorian Gray, by Oscar Wilde, a friend of Heron-Allen's, to "The Cheetah Girl," an outrageous masterpiece of biological science fiction, the present collection is a tour de force of the elegant, the bizarre, and the unmentionable.
With a total of thirty tales, the five volumes contained herein, many of which have previously only been obtainable for exorbitant prices, are now finally available in a proper format for connoisseurs, and the unafraid.

For an instrument whose origins date back to the 16th Century, the stirring sound of the violin plays a huge part in music being composed and played this very moment. From classical to country, from jazz to rock and even rap, the violin has always been a popular choice for the versatile virtuoso.
One of the millions of people who have drawn a bow across the strings of the violin was an English polymath, writer, scientist, and all-around fascinating man Edward Heron-Allen. His love of the violin led to a friendship with renowned violin maker Georges Chanot III, and to a lifelong obsession with crafting the perfect instrument. A true Renaissance man, Edward Heron-Allen published this tribute to his favorite musical instrument over 130 years ago and, like the violin, it's still an unrivaled classic.
Whether you're a fresh-faced music student, a classically trained maestro, or if you simply enjoy fiddling along on the front porch, this guide offers:
An in-depth look at the history of the violin
A fascinating, and often surprising, discussion of the materials that make up the violin
A step-by-step guide to constructing your own violin - from selecting the materials to playing that very first note
Downloadable full-size schematics for making your own violin

Описание:
Finally home after weeks in the hospital following a near-fatal shooting, Officer David Kennison faces the dispiriting prospect of a long recovery period. However, rapidly unfolding crises draw him back to active duty prematurely-and place him into constant conflict with his frightened wife.
First the Heron Lake Police Force is reduced to a dangerous low when a virulent flu epidemic cripples the town. During this time, a request from a local high school teacher brings David to the station in an unofficial capacity. While there, he overhears the dispatcher take a dangerous emergency call and soon learns that he's the only officer available to respond.
Then David receives a visit from Sheralyn Ames, a psychic artist whose sketches forewarn of imminent, life-threatening situations. When Sheralyn takes out her drawing pad, it's a d j vu that fills David with dread, a dread that quickly turns to panic as he recognizes the depicted victim-the boy who recently saved his life.

Описание:
Ahed Tamimi received prominent media coverage internationally when she was arrested by the Israeli Occupation authorities shortly before Christmas 2017. Israeli soldiers forced their way into the Tamimi's home at night time, and arrested Nariman and Bassem Tamimi's 16-year-old daughter, Ahed.
The day before, there had been a demonstration to protest against the Occupation Army's use of force when Ahed's 14-year-old cousin Muhammed was shot in the face during another demonstration. In the course of the demonstration, an Israeli soldier hit Ahed, but Ahed defended herself, slapping the soldier in his face. That allegedly was the reason why this young girl was thrown into prison.
But Ahed Tamimi has shown defiance towards the Occupation Army on several occasions. Ahed herself says: "We only want to live a peaceful life. We want to play like other children. My dream is to become a football player." In her room at home, the walls are adorned with pictures of Disney's Snow White and My Little Pony, just like any other teenage girl. But the occupation prevents the children from being children.
Ahed lives in the West Bank village of Nabi Saleh, some 20 kilometres north of Jerusalem. Nabi Saleh is famous for its peaceful resistance against the oppression. Nabi Saleh is a place where Palestinian, Israeli and international women enjoy picnics near a water spring in the park. "Nabi Saleh is where I lost my Zionism," wrote Lisa Goldman in "+972 Magazine."
Ahed Tamimi embodies the spirit of Nabi Saleh. This is her story, written by Paul Morris, Paul Heron, Peter Lahti and Ahed Tamimi's aunt, Manal Tamimi.
