Beschreibung

In "Scott Burton and the Timber Thieves," Edward G. Cheyney crafts a compelling narrative that intertwines adventure, ethics, and the intricate dynamics of greed and resource management. The book delves into the life of Scott Burton, an idealistic lumberman whose romantic visions of sustainable forestry collide with the harsh realities posed by a burgeoning timber industry driven by avarice. Cheyney employs a vivid, descriptive literary style that emphasizes the natural landscapes and moral dilemmas facing characters amid the backdrop of the early 20th-century American West, a time when conservation thoughts began to stretch against the capitalist pursuits prevalent in the era. Edward G. Cheyney, an erudite historian and environmental advocate, draws on his extensive background in ecological studies and historical contextualization to inform his writing. His commitment to environmental causes and interest in the socio-economic struggles of past generations resonate throughout the narrative, providing readers with a profound understanding of the challenges facing both humanity and nature. Cheyney's previous works in American history and ecology lend an authenticity that underscores the themes he explores in this book. This book is a must-read for those captivated by environmental ethics, historical narratives, or character-driven stories that challenge societal norms. Cheyney's blend of historical context and engaging storytelling invites readers to reflect on their relationship with nature and the moral implications of their actions in the pursuit of progress.

    A majestic novel of Florence Nightingale, whose courage, self-confidence, and resilience transformed nursing and the role of women in medicine 
     
     
     
    Sweeping yet intimate, Flight of the Wild Swan tells the story of Florence Nightingale, a brilliant, trailblazing woman whose humanity has been obscured beneath the iconic weight of legend. From adolescence, Nightingale was determined to fulfill her life's calling to serve the sick and suffering. Overcoming Victorian hierarchies, familial expectations, patriarchal resistance, and her own illness, she used her hard-won acclaim as a battlefield nurse to bring the profession out of its shadowy, disreputable status and elevate nursing to a skilled practice and compassionate art. 
     
     
     
    In lush, lyrical detail, Melissa Pritchard reveals Nightingale as a rebel who wouldn't relent—one whose extraordinary life offers a grand lesson in inspired will.

    Eleanor Howard has never fit in. Constantly outshone by her younger sister, and continually criticized by her ambitious mother, Eleanor yearns to be loved for herself.

When his mother, insistent on finding him a duchess of the right pedigree, forces his hand, he decides on impulse to punish her by kneeling before the least desirable woman in the room. 
     
     
     
    Only Miss Howard believes his proposal to be genuine. 
     
     
     
    The solution? A false betrothal that keeps Monty's mother in check, and lifts Miss Howard's prospects. But beneath Eleanor's awkward exterior lies a passionate, intelligent woman, misunderstood and unappreciated, who challenges Monty's notions of duty, life, and love—and with whom he's falling in love himself. 
     
     
     
    As the end of the Season, and their inevitable parting, approaches, Monty is faced with a choice—surrender to duty, or follow his heart.

    Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith was born in Birkenhead, Merseyside in England on the 7th August 1902 into a privileged family steeped in titles and politics. 
     
    Part of her education was at Miss Douglas's school at Queen's Gate.  Here she met and befriended several other young women that the British tabloid press would later call the ‘Bright Young Things’, a group of bohemian young aristocrats and socialites in 1920s London. 
     
    Smith's paternal great-grandmother, was said to have been a Gypsy, and this sparked an early and life-long interest with the Romani people, she even went so far as to learn to read and speak the language, which she called ‘musical and broken.’ 
     
    Her life was full of adventure and mishaps.  A mistaken encounter with a man she thought could help her into the film business turned out to threats of marriage and death from a man wanted for the murder of his father.  She was even arrested twice.  Once for listing her career as a journalist and another, in Rome, for walking around in a sleeveless dress. 
     
    Smith began her career writing society gossip columns for various newspapers but later received an offer to write for the newly-formed Great Carmo Circus, with which she travelled for several years and was the source material for many of her books. 
     
    Her first novel, ‘Red Wagon’, was published when she was 28 and it was an immediate bestseller.  A prolific writer several of her works were also adapted for films. 
     
    Smith also wrote ghost stories and others flavoured with evil.  Her support for the Conservative party may be forgiven but her attributed quote to be a ‘warm adherent of General Franco’ less so. 
     
    Lady Eleanor Furneaux Smith died on the 20th October 1945 in Westminster after a long illness. She was 43.
