  An intimate yet wide-sweeping story of a marine biologist working to save ocean ecosystems from climate change.With the world’s oceans ravaged by climate change, Émeraude, a young marine biologist, works to preserve aquatic ecosystems by recreating them for zoos. When her work earns her a spot aboard a research vessel with an extended mission in the Arctic, it is the inescapable draw of the ocean that will save her when the world she leaves behind is irrevocably changed.Stories of Émeraude’s ancestors — a young sailor abandoned at birth, a conjuror who mixes potions for her neighbours, a violent young man who hides in the woods to escape an even more violent war, and a talented young singer born to a mother who cannot speak — weave their way through her intimate reflections on a modest life, unknowingly shaped by those who came before.

  Suspended in mid-air high above the planet, the stratoship Perseus should still be moving—but it isn’t. Meteorologist Lawton and his crew find themselves trapped in a silent, motionless bubble of sky, where the clouds have frozen beneath them and the air outside has become a strange, alien theatre. Inside the ship, tensions mount, minds unravel, and something unseen creeps across the outer hull in creeping tendrils of life. 
  In this golden-age thriller from Frank Belknap Long, the fight isn’t just for survival against a terrifying alien vegetation; it’s a battle of human instincts, fragile alliances and the terror of staring into the unknown. As hours stretch into endless moments, Lawton must face what it means to live when the world won’t move—and what it means to stay sane when reality itself begins to shift. 
  With a haunting narration by Phil Thompson, this edition immerses you in a high-altitude nightmare where the sky becomes a trap, and the only escape may lie deep inside the human heart.

  The Fullness of Life - From...

  Edith Wharton

  Edith Newbold Jones was born in New York on January 24, 1862.   Born into wealth, this background of privilege gave her a wealth of experience to eventually, after several false starts, produce many works based on it culminating in her Pulitzer Prize winning novel ‘The Age Of Innocence’ 
  Marriage to Edward Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older in 1885 seemed to offer much and for some years they travelled extensively.  After some years it was apparent that her husband suffered from acute depression and so the travelling ceased and they retired to The Mount, their estate designed by Edith.  By 1908 his condition was said to be incurable and prior to divorcing Edward in 1913 she began an affair, in 1908, with Morton Fullerton, a Times journalist, who was her intellectual equal and allowed her writing talents to push forward and write the novels for which she is so well known.  
  Acknowledged as one of the great American writers with novels such as Ethan Frome and the House of Mirth among many.  Wharton also wrote many short stories, including ghost stories and poems which we are pleased to publish.  
  Edith Wharton died of a stroke in 1937 at the Domaine Le Pavillon Colombe, her 18th-century house on Rue de Montmorency in Saint-Brice-sous-Forêt.
