by Hickes, Phil
Schaurig schön und echt gruselig: die Abenteuer von Aveline! Der Wind pfeift durch die Ritzen und jede Diele knarzt: Avelines neues Zuhause ist ihr auf den ersten Blick gar nicht geheuer. Dass die Einwohner des stürmischen Küstenörtchens überall Vogelscheuchen aufstellen, macht es nicht besser. Einfach. Nur. Gruselig! Avelines einzige Rettung ist Mr Liebermans verwunschener Buchladen, der sofort zum Stöbern einlädt - denn sie liebt schaurige Geschichten und Bücher über alles. Aber schon bald steht die schauerlichste Nacht des Jahres bevor. Und an Halloween werden längst vergessene Legenden in Stormhaven sehr viel lebendiger, als Aveline lieb ist ... Pünktlich zu Halloween erscheint dieses schaurig-schöne Kinderbuch für alle Mädchen ab 9 Jahren, die wohlfühlige Gruselgeschichten lieben. Perfekt ist für stürmische Herbstabende: zum gemütlichen Einkuscheln, Schmökern und Gruseln! Wunderschön und stimmungsvoll illustriert von Kaja Reinki. Mit Aveline Jones geht es immer schön schauerlich weiter! Band 2 „Aveline Jones - Im Bann der Hexensteine“ erscheint im Frühjahr 2021.

Gutsherr Allworthy findet einen Säugling und zieht den Jungen an Sohnes Statt auf. Der Findling – Tom Jones – wächst und gedeiht prächtig, in den Augen seines Ziehvaters mitunter sogar etwas zu prächtig.

Der junge Mann macht sich auf nach London, wobei ihn seine Reise quer durchs Land und auch durch sämtliche Schichten der vorviktorianischen Gesellschaft führt. Auf Toms Suche nach sich selbst, seiner Herkunft und vor allem nach der großen Liebe erschließt sich ein wahres Panoptikum des 18. Jahrhunderts.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2002American society today
by Edward Ashbee, Bill Jones
American society today provides a balanced introduction to the defining features of contemporary American society. Includes the ways in which the US can be considered 'exceptional' - the character of the 'American dream', the role of ethnicity and race, and the differences between the regions. Considers in depth a number of contemporary debates including the claim that the US economy has lost its capacity to generate wealth and stimulate mobility, that there has been a process of civic disengagement as voluntary organisations have lost members, and that the traditional family is in decline. Includes a thorough investigation of the effects of the terrorist attacks of September 11 and their aftermath. Looks at the arguments put forward by those who assert that a common American identity has given way to a multitude of conflicting identities structured around factors such as race, ethnicity, gender and sexuality. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesFebruary 2009Local government today
by J. Chandler, Bill Jones
Local government today provides a comprehensive analysis of the structure, finance, management and democratic framework for local government in Britain. This new edition has been substantially rewritten to encompass the many changes to the structure and function of the system since 2000, including developments flowing from the 2007 Local Government Act. The study discusses how, during the Blair years, local governments came to be seen once again as centrally important institutions within Britain's political system. However, they are not seen as organisations that can function as separate agencies, undertaking all their duties 'in-house'. They are now required to work in partnership with the private, public and voluntary sectors to deliver local services and represent local interests. It is further argued that, for the first time in over a century, the barriers between civil servants and senior local government officers are being eroded as central government begins to incorporate leading local government officials into its decision-making processes. This established textbook also offers a comparative focus by showing how the British system differs from the structures for local governance in Western Europe and the United States. ;

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2005Russian politics today
by Michael Waller, Bill Jones
This introductory text, written by an established authority on communist and post-communist politics, describes how Vladimir Putin has turned to those with backgrounds in the military and security structures to provide stability in today's Russian Federation, following the democratising reforms of Gorbachev and the ensuing instability of the Yeltsin presidency. Against the background of an increasing authoritarianism, which has restored features of the Soviet political system, it examines the attempts by social and economic groups to assert themselves against the state using embryonic democratic forms that fall far short of pluralism. The book's fourteen chapters offer an exceptionally broad coverage. It will appeal to first- and second-year students in higher education, but its deliberately accessible style will also make it attractive to sixth-form students and the general reader. ;
