Children's & YAJuly 2022Das Buch der Seelen
by Mechthild Gläser
The Book of Souls A "Dorian Gray" story about the power of imagesFor generations, Elsie's family has owned a photography studio. Elsie loves the old cameras and the historic photographs; she is particularly taken with the portrait of the young lord Aidan Storm. Every now and then, she even tells the picture about her worries. What she doesn't know is that he can actually hear her. When Aidan's photo disappears from the album one day, Elsie is inconsolable. But then the young lord suddenly reappears. On Instagram, of all places - and then she meets him in real life.Aidan Storm was born in 1873 and there is a centuries-old curse on his family. With every newborn, a new ghost is born into the world. Aidan sets out to break the curse and recapture the spirits, using the new technology of photography to help him. Until Aidan himself gets captured in a photo that is found 120 years later by John's great-great-granddaughter Elsie. But who has summoned Aidan and the other ghosts that suddenly haunt modern Edinburgh back to reality? And why?Told in two time levels, the story alternates between the perspective of Elsie in modern-day Edinburgh and Aidan at the end of the 19th century. Like in Emma and the Forgotten Book, Mechthild Gläser takes inspiration from a 19th-century classic and brings the portrait of a young man quickly to life, in a modern-day story about the power of images. • Urban fantasy story combined with a tender, humorous love story• The Picture of Dorian Gray meets Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children• Set in picturesque Edinburgh • By internationally successful Mechthild Gläser (SERAPH Fantasy Award), who has been published in 14 languages

Architectural structure & designSeptember 2016Modern Container Architecture
by Aidan Hart
As one of the sustained buildings, containers are widely used in many countries. The reason why containers come into use in such a vast range is that the cost of container building is controllable and is good for environment protection, and especially the recircled containers should cost less money and be better for environment protection, so that container building is applied in construction industy. All kinds of franchised stores of containers, art galleries, dwellings and container art exhibitions appear everywhere. We attribute achievements to the architects and artists. In the recent years, the ideas, the work and the samples of containers spread all the places in China. There are many fine and beautiful pictures and illustrations of container designs in the book showing how wonderful the containers are. Mainwhile the book delivers techniques to build and repair containers. This is a conference book with its full and accurate account of the matter.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 1998Angela Carter
by Aidan Day
This full scale study discusses Angela Carter's fiction in chronological order, and notes that although her themes are fairly consistent throughout her work, consistency of theme is not the same as repetition. The new angles and emphases that develop are partly from Carter's immersion in the changing intellectual debates of the times and, concurrently, arise from the reading she was doing at the different stages of her life, which stretched from the medieval through de Sade to Foucault. ;

Literature & Literary StudiesDecember 2000Contemporary British poetry and the city
by Peter Barry, Kim Latham
Though poets have always written about cities, the commonest critical categories (pastoral poetry, nature poetry, Romantic poetry, Georgian poetry, etc.) have usually stressed the rural, so that poetry can seem irrelevant to a predominantly urban populati. Explores a range of contemporary poets who visit the 'mean streets' of the contemporary urban scene, seeking the often cacophonous music of what happens here. Poets discussed include: Ken Smith, Iain Sinclair, Roy Fisher, Edwin Morgan, Sean O'Brien, Ciaran Carson, Peter Reading, Matt Simpson, Douglas Houston, Deryn Rees-Jones, Denise Riley, Ken Edwards, Levi Tafari, Aidan Hun, and Robert Hampson. Approaches contemporary poetry within a broad spectrum of personal, social, literary, and cultural concerns. Includes 'loco-specific' chapters, on cities including Hull, Liverpool, London, and Birmingham, with an additional chapter on 'post-industrial' cities such as Belfast, Glasgow and Dundee. ;

Sieben absolut tödliche Spezialisten, die nie aufgeben und noch nie einen Auftrag vermasselt haben. Aber Price nimmt den Kampf an und setzt damit eine Kette unfassbarer Ereignisse in Gang ...
