Book excerpt: "Tense, atmospheric, and gorgeously written, The Summer Country is a novel to savor!" – Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Huntress and The Alice Network A brilliant, multigenerational saga in the tradition of The Thorn Birds and North and South, New York Times bestselling historical novelist Lauren Willig delivers her biggest, boldest, and most ambitious novel yet—a sweeping Victorian epic of lost love, lies, jealousy, and rebellion set in colonial Barbados. Barbados, 1854: Emily Dawson has always been the poor cousin in a prosperous English merchant clan-- merely a vicar’s daughter, and a reform-minded vicar’s daughter, at that. Everyone knows that the family’s lucrative shipping business will go to her cousin, Adam, one day. But when her grandfather dies, Emily receives an unexpected inheritance: Peverills, a sugar plantation in Barbados—a plantation her grandfather never told anyone he owned. When Emily accompanies her cousin and his new wife to Barbados, she finds Peverills a burnt-out shell, reduced to ruins in 1816, when a rising of enslaved people sent the island up in flames. Rumors swirl around the derelict plantation; people whisper of ghosts. Why would her practical-minded grandfather leave her a property in ruins? Why are the neighboring plantation owners, the Davenants, so eager to acquire Peverills? The answer lies in the past— a tangled history of lies, greed, clandestine love, heartbreaking betrayal, and a bold bid for freedom. THE SUMMER COUNTRY will beguile readers with its rendering of families, heartbreak, and the endurance of hope against all odds.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Daylight saving time (DST) is a practice of adjusting the clocks forward an hour during the spring season and reversing it back during autumn. This alteration helps in utilizing the daylight hours more efficiently and reducing energy consumption during the evening. Daylight saving time is implemented in different countries across the world, with varying dates of implementation. Some countries also opt-out of this practice for various reasons, such as the detrimental effects on the human body due to the abrupt shift in the sleep cycle or the inconvenience caused by the constant change in the time zone. The idea of daylight saving time can be traced back to Benjamin Franklin, but the modern implementation of this practice began during the First World War. It was first introduced in Germany in 1916, and soon other European countries followed suit. The United States adopted this practice during the Second World War, and it was later standardized after the Uniform Time Act of 1966. However, the implementation and duration of daylight saving time have been subject to numerous debates and controversies, with many scientists and policymakers now questioning its effectiveness and benefits. In this book we discuss topics such as: Introduction: Brief history of Daylight Saving Time (DST), Purpose of DST, Controversy surrounding DST How DST Works: Setting our clocks forward and backward, Impact on natural light patterns, Benefits of DST, 1. Energy conservation, 2. Improved public safety, 3. Increased economic productivity, 4. Health benefits The Global Debate on DST: Countries that observe DST, Countries that do not observe DST, Reasons for differing policies on DST Impacts of DST: Agriculture and farming, Transportation, Tourism, Education, Health DST and Technology: Impact of DST on electronic devices, Time zones and international communication, The role of technology in DST policy Alternatives to DST: Permanent Standard Time, Double DST, Time Zone Changes Conclusion: Summary of the main points, Implications for future DST policy and Call to action for additional research. Quizzes are provided at the end of each section.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Camelot--a vibrant pageant of love, heartbreak, hatred, jealousy, revenge, and desire--as seen through the eyes of its queen, Guenevere Raised in the tranquil beauty of the Summer Country, Princess Guenevere has led a charmed and contented life, until the sudden, violent death of her mother, Queen Maire, leaves the Summer Country teetering on the brink of anarchy. Only the miraculous arrival of Arthur, heir to the Pendragon dynasty, allows Guenevere to claim her mother's throne. Smitten by the bold, sensuous princess, Arthur offers to marry her and unite their territory while still allowing her to rule in her own right. Their love match creates the largest and most powerful kingdom in the Isles. Arthur's glorious rule begins to crumble, however, when he is reunited with his mother and his long-lost half-sisters, Morgause and Morgan. Before Arthur's birth, his father--the savage and unscrupulous King Uther--banished his wife's young daughters, selling Morgause into a cruel marriage and imprisoning Morgan in a far-off convent. Both daughters will avenge their suffering, but it is Morgan who strikes the deadliest blows against the King and Queen, using her evil enchantments to destroy all Guenevere holds dear. When the Queen flees to Avalon, Morgan casts a spell on Arthur and seduces him. In the chaos that follows his betrayal, Arthur sends a new courtier to protect Guenevere, the young French knight Lancelot. Her loyalty to Arthur already destroyed, Guenevere falls in love with Lancelot, a love that may spell ruin for Camelot.

Annabelle and Bayard Van Duyvil live a charmed life in New York: he’s the scion of an old Knickerbocker family, she grew up in a Tudor house in England, they had a fairytale romance in London, they have three-year-old twins on whom they dote, and he’s recreated her family home on the banks of the Hudson and named it Illyria.

But then Bayard is found dead with a knife in his chest on the night of their Twelfth Night Ball, Annabelle goes missing, presumed drowned, and the papers go mad. Bay’s sister, Janie, forms an unlikely alliance with a reporter to try to uncover the truth, convinced that Bay would never have killed his wife, that it must be a third party, but the more she learns about her brother and his wife, the more everything she thought she knew about them starts to unravel. Who were her brother and his wife, really? And why did her brother die with the name George on his lips?

Download or read book Seize the Daylight written by David Prerau and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2009-04-28 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Benjamin Franklin conceived of it. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle endorsed it. Winston Churchill campaigned for it. Kaiser Wilhelm first employed it. Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt went to war with it, and more recently the United States fought an energy crisis with it. For several months every year, for better or worse, daylight savings time affects vast numbers of people throughout the world. And from Ben Franklin's era to today, its story has been an intriguing and sometimes-bizarre amalgam of colorful personalities and serious technical issues, purported costs and perceived benefits, conflicts between interest groups and government policymakers. It impacts diverse and unexpected areas, including agricultural practices, street crime, the reporting of sports scores, traffic accidents, the inheritance rights of twins, and voter turnout. Illustrated with a popular look at science and history, Seize the Daylight presents an intriguing and surprisingly entertaining story of our attempt to regulate the sunlight hours.
