DAR & Earth: Yasteron continues the story of Aelish and Isabela, who must both somehow rise from the ashes of their shattered lives after the cliffhanger in Book Two. Aelish ventures back to DAR to reclaim her beloved Thagar. As she reviews the devastation in the N.W. Quadrant from Yasteron’s bombs, she agonizes over whether to annihilate the entire kingdom or forge ahead with a peace treaty in accordance with her Oath of Peace. While Aelish struggles with that decision, Isabela tries to recover from the unfathomable betrayal by her first love, Glen, a Yasteron spy, and her capture and torture by Yasteron soldiers in her research lab. While in DAR, Aelish discovers that one of the deadly vials Glen brought to the dinner party in her home, survived the bombing of the underwater bunker, where he was being interrogated by Thagar. The vial contains scientific information that Isabela has been searching for, in order to stop a burgeoning climate syndrome already causing early symptoms worldwide. Aelish defies the medici in DAR, who are unable to save Thagar’s life, and with the help of Isabela brings him to Earth for lifesaving human medical treatment. Despite the bombs crippling essential magic within DAR and destroying important tactical equipment, she secures an exit strategy to bring a severely injured Thagar to Earth.

With an introduction by Meg Rosoff William Golding's final novel, left in draft at his death, tells the story of a priestess of Apollo. Arieka is one of the last to prophesy at Delphi, in the shadowy years when the Romans were securing their grip on the tribes and cities of Greece. The plain, unloved daughter of a local grandee, she is rescued from the contempt and neglect of her family by her Delphic role. Her ambiguous attitude to the god and her belief in him seem to move in parallel with the decline of the god himself - but things are more complicated than they appear. 'A remarkable work ... A compelling storyteller as well as a clear-eyed philosopher of the dangerous puzzles of being human.' The Times 'A wonderful central character. The story stretches out as clean and dry and clear as the beach in Lord of the Flies.' Independent 'Feline, deadpan and at moments hilarious.' Observer

An anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro, covering everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work. Santiago Ramón y Cajal was a mythic figure in science. Hailed as the father of modern anatomy and neurobiology, he was largely responsible for the modern conception of the brain. His groundbreaking works were New Ideas on the Structure of the Nervous System and Histology of the Nervous System in Man and Vertebrates. In addition to leaving a legacy of unparalleled scientific research, Cajal sought to educate the novice scientist about how science was done and how he thought it should be done. This recently rediscovered classic, first published in 1897, is an anecdotal guide for the perplexed new investigator as well as a refreshing resource for the old pro. Cajal was a pragmatist, aware of the pitfalls of being too idealistic—and he had a sense of humor, particularly evident in his diagnoses of various stereotypes of eccentric scientists. The book covers everything from valuable personality traits for an investigator to social factors conducive to scientific work.
