In 200BC, frankincense was worth its weight in gold, making Arabia was the envy of the world. But wealth comes at a cost: the precious resin was transported along the Frankincense Road, a dangerous route through rocky mountains and barren desert. Alia is a princess in a dwindling kingdom that lies on the Frankincense Road. Having grown up hearing tales of the famous Queen of Sheba, she dreams of finding a way to restore her kingdom's former might. When a caravan journeying to the mysterious incense lands stops to take on travellers, she sees her chance. She soon realises, however, that her trust in the caravan leaders has been misguided. They are not mere incense merchants, but traitors and mercenaries. Alia's journey soon turns from dangerous to life-threatening. The Frankincense Trail is a story that transports the reader to a time and place reminiscent of the Arabian Nights tales.

Comments From Other Readers "I taught myself to crochet when I was 7 and that's been my niche ever since. I was looking for a challenge and a co-worker suggested that knitting might be a great cross over. I found it very easy to transition over to. The patterns in this book were fantastic! I loved the little ducky! I think the pictures were a huge help as well. I might just have to put my hook away for a little while!" - Eve (Florida, US) "I'm a guy. Knitting to me has been for little old ladies. I recently had an accident though and experienced some head trauma. As a result, I've had difficulty with some of my motor functions. My physical therapist actually suggested knitting. I can't knock it until I try to so I went with my sister who knits and picked out some stuff. My first project was a beanie. I think the thing that worked for me was that if I messed up I could just pull it out and start over. After a few weeks of knitting for an hour or more a day, my therapist noted positive changes. This book was a big part of that. I found it easy to follow, even for someone that never touched a knitting needle before." - Bryan (Colorado, US) Tags: easy knitting, east patterns, knitting, knit, yarn, therapy, blanket, shawls, advanced knitting, crocheting, crochet patterns, knitting, knitting for beginners, cross-stitching, manly knits, knitting in the round, knit an infinity scarf, step by step, with pictures, knitting answer book, knitting for dummies, crochet techniques, crochet stitches, one day knitting, one day crochet, one day afghan, knitting stitches

Comments From Other Readers "I don't normally have the patience to sit and just work on a craft. Then I broke my leg. Needless to say there wasn't too much I could do but sit for long periods of time. You can only have so many Netflix marathons. A friend of mine from work suggested taking up crocheting. I figured with this book I might be able to throw something together for the holidays and if not, I'd at least keep my mind off my leg. It was a success on both parts! I started out with a runner and worked my way up to a wreath. I know this is something I'll continue long after I'm up and walking!" - Amy (Minnesota, US) "I loved making little gifts for my kid's teachers and even as stocking stuffers.

The instructions were plenty clear enough for me, a barely intermediate knitter. I was able to complete both garments with no help except to look up a couple things in a basic knitting reference book. The instructions at the beginning were a huge help though. Any one of these sweaters or other projects, like the pillows, would make great gifts for the pet owners you know." - Lois (New Brunswick, Canada) "I was a bit hesitant to buy this as I have a cat. Have you ever tried to put a sweater on a cat? Long story short, with mine it doesn't end well and the cat never wore the sweater. I love that this book has more than just clothing options. She was fearless hunter with the duck and has eagerly (for a cat) claimed the snuggly blanket as her new throne to rule the house from. I was happy to find that the patterns were easy to put together and the instructions were straight forward." - Kelli (Ohio, US) Tags: pets, crafts, pet crafts, knitting, crocheting, dog, cat, toys, knit blanket, knit toys, gifts, crochet, crochet 101, beginners, easy patterns, novice crochet, crocheting, one day crochet, learn to crochet, crochet patterns, afghan projects, crochet stitch gallery, easy to crochet, knitting, crochet for beginners, cross-stitching, needlework, one day crochet afghan, crochet scarf, craft, crocheting for dummies, crochet craft, crochet book

Lämmin ja haikean kaunis romaani vanhuudesta, rakkaudesta ja yllättävästä ystävyydestä.Hiljattain leskeksi jäänyt rouva Laura Palfrey asettuu miehensä kuoleman jälkeen asumaan vaatimattomaan hotelliin Lontoossa. Kun omat lapset eivät ehdi kiireiltään vierailla Lauran luona, hän löytää uusia tuttavuuksia muista hotellin asukkaista. Asukkaiden joukosta löytyy suuria persoonia, joista kaikki tuntuvat olevan loputtoman uteliaita, joten aika kuluu leppoisasti juoruillessa. Lauran mieltä painaa kuitenkin yksi murhe – hän on kertonut muille hotellin asukkaille, että tyttärenpoika on tulossa pian vierailemaan. Kun tätä ei kuulu eikä näy, alkaa Lauraa jo vähän nolostuttaa.Eräällä kävelyretkellään Laura kaatuu ja loukkaa jalkansa. Onnekseen hän törmää samalla Ludo Myersiin, innokkaaseen kirjailijanalkuun, joka auttaa hänet kotiin. Kun Laura kutsuu Ludon syömään kiitoksena avusta, eräs hotellin asiakkaista sattuu kuulemaan asiasta ja olettaa, että kyseessä on Lauran tyttärenpoika. Sen sijaan että oikaisisivat väärän luulon, Laura ja Ludo alkavat leikkiä mukana. Vanhan naisen ja nuoren miehen välille syntyy lämmin ystävyys, ja Lauralle selviää, että uusi rakkaus voi yllättää vanhallakin iällä.Elizabeth Taylor (1912–1975) oli englantilainen kirjailija. Yksi hänen tunnetuimmista teoksistaan, Hyvien ihmisten hotelli, julkaistiin vuonna 2005 myös elokuvaversiona.

This book highlights the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on cities. The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated economic and social impacts have been felt around the world. In large cities and other urban areas, the pandemic has highlighted a number of issues from pressures on urban labour and housing markets, shifts in demographic processes including migration and mobility, changes in urban travel patterns and pressures on contemporary planning and governance processes.Despite Australia's relatively mild COVID exposure, Australian cities and large urban areas have not been immune to these issues. The economic shutdown of the country in the early stages of the pandemic, the sporadic border closures between states, the effective closure of international borders and the imposition of widespread public health orders that have required significant behavioural change across the population have all changed our cities in some and the way we live and work in them in some way. Some of the challenges have reflected long-standing problems including intrenched inequality in labour markets and housing markets, others such as the impact on commuting patterns and patterns of migration have emerged largely during the pandemic. This book, co-authored by experts in their field, outlines some of the major issues facing Australian cities and urban areas as a result of the pandemic and sets a course for future of the cities we live in.

Inheriting Ivy Compton-Burnett's uncanny sensitivity to the terrifying undercurrents that swirl beneath the apparent calm of respectable family life while showing a deep sympathy of her own for human loneliness, Taylor depicted dislocation with the unflinching presence of mind of Graham Greene. But for Taylor, unlike Greene, dislocation began not in distant climes but right at home. It is in the living room, playroom, and bedroom that Taylor stages her unforgettable dramas of alienation and impossible desire. Taylor's stories, many of which originally appeared in The New Yorker, are her central achievement. Here are self-improving spinsters and gossiping girls, war orphans and wallflowers, honeymooners and barmaids, mistresses and murderers. Margaret Drabble's new selection reveals a writer whose wide sympathies and restless curiosity are matched by a steely penetration into the human heart and mind.

Camp Forrest was a training, induction, and combatant prisoner-of-war (POW) facility located on the outskirts of Tullahoma, Tennessee. It was a self-sustaining city where over 70,000 soldiers were stationed and approximately 12,000 civilians were employed throughout World War II. In 1942, the camp transitioned to an enemy alien internment camp and was one of the first civilian internment camps in the United States. By the middle of 1943, it had transitioned into a POW camp and housed primarily German and Italian prisoners. After the war ended, the base was decommissioned and dismantled in 1946. In 1951, the area was recommissioned and expanded into the US Air Force s Arnold Engineering Development Complex. Few remains of this important World War II facility exist today; however, the images within provide a glimpse into the effects and realities of a global war on American soil."
