This is the second Omnibus edition featuring the young Probationary Detective Constable McNab and his ghostly mentor and companion, Dr. Joseph Bell, expert in deductive reasoning and forensic medicine and the real-life model for Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. In this edition there are again three case studies set in and around Edinburgh, Scotland:The Selkie of Calaròin - McNab's boss, Chief Inspector McFarlane enlists McNab's help in a personal matter when he is asked to go to the small fishing village of Calaròin by his old friend, Angus Dunsmuir, the local Police Sergeant. A young fisherman has been found dead in his bed with the local doctor giving the cause of death as cardiac arrest. Sergeant Dunsmuir has doubts about this and has asked McFarlane, who had been born in the village, to unofficially look into the matter. McNab and Bell find that the young fisherman had really died of drowning. But how?The Blue Claidh - McNab's love interest, Detective Sergeant Olivia Kerr has gone missing. Only a small sample of blue clay (or claidh in Scottish terms) in an old Case Box from Glasgow Police may give a clue to where she has gone. He goes to the Earth Science building at Edinburgh University to find the location of the mysterious blue claidh without success, but his ghostly friend DR. Joseph Bell enlists the aid of the spirit of the very 'Father of Geology', Dr. James Hutton to assist. Finding the location of the clay near the town of Melrose, McNab finds Olivia as a prisoner of a gang of Glaswegian bank robbers planning their next crime in Edinburgh. He and Bell go to her aid against the gang.The Dominie's Downfall - Set in the old manor house of McGovern Hall near Thornhill northwest from Edinburgh and now Saint Triduana's School for Young Ladies. McNab and his driver Sergeant 'Jock' McDonald are sent to investigate the death of an unpopular teacher - a Dominie in Scot's slang - who has fallen down a stairway and broken her neck. A simple unfortunate accident which soon becomes a murder case when someone states that the teacher had been pushed. But nobody at the school was near the stairs when the woman fell and so accidental death seems to be the only obvious conclusion. However, the ghost of Joseph Bell come to McNab's rescue again and confirms that the woman was really murdered and helps the detective solve the case.

Adventures in Earth and Environmental Science is a series of books covering years 11 & 12 in high school and first year university. There are Books 1 &2 for years 11 and 12 with accompanying practical manuals, one per year. These are all tied together with the Teachers' Manual. The whole series exactly ties in with the Australian syllabus and the 2019 Queensland syllabus including all the required work and more background detail and research for enrichment. The teachers' guide directs the new or experienced teacher in set up, orientation, lesson planning, permission notes, organisation of excursions and background information. All the answers to the questions in the text books and suggestions on the research questions are included in each chapter. Set up and warnings for all the practical work as well as links on where to obtain the equipment cheaply. There are links to hundreds of useful websites and relevant videos taken by the author covering skills, excursions and exploration. It is an invaluable tool for any teacher of this subject, more so if they are using the rest of the series.

This is the student practical manual to accompany the second book of ADVENTURES in EARTH and ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE. It is designed for the second-year program in this topic and is matched to the chapters of Book 2 i.e. Chapters 15 to 28. There are fifty tested practical experiments requiring relatively simple laboratory equipment and Internet connectivity. Each practical activity procedure is clearly set out and many are illustrated with photographs or diagrams. Results and conclusions are directed and there is often reference to further student research. There are also several video links designed to show aspects of the activity or relating to it. All of the mandatory experiments proscribed in the Queensland Syllabus have been included.
