  "The Stillwater Tragedy" by Thomas Bailey Aldrich is a fictional novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story delves into the dark and mysterious atmosphere surrounding a murder in the seemingly idyllic village of Stillwater. As the narrative unfolds, it reveals the tumultuous and often harsh lives of the townsfolk, with a particular focus on several key characters, including the recently deceased wealthy man, Mr. Lemuel Shackford, and his estranged cousin, Richard Shackford. 
  The story opens with a chilling tone just before daybreak in Stillwater, where the body of Mr. Shackford lies dead, the victim of a violent crime. As the sun rises, the village awakens to its daily rhythm while grappling with the shock of the murder. Young Mary Hennessey, whose delayed milk delivery leads her to discover the crime scene, unwittingly becomes the center of attention as gossip spreads throughout the town. 
  Shortly after the discovery, the townspeople gather in anxiety and suspicion, prompting an investigation led by local authorities. Through vivid descriptions and evocative character portrayals, the beginning of the novel establishes an unsettling mood as it explores themes of violence, greed, and the fragile nature of community bonds in the face of tragedy.

  This inspirational guide explains how a botanical sketchbook can take many forms and hold different meanings. It shows how a sketchbook can be used as a workbook to study plants through drawing and painting in a variety of media. It includes examples of preliminary work for finished pieces, experiments in colour and exploration of plant anatomy, and shows how these studies can be made away from the pressure of creating the perfect, polished piece of final botanical artwork. It goes on to feature sketchbooks created for their own sake as a curated space for an artist to draw and record plants over a period of time, or a particular place.

  100 Things to Hate Before You Die

  Claudia Stavola

  Comedian Claudia Stavola understands we’re living in sensitive times and the word hate is controversial, so she doesn’t use it loosely. She only uses it for serious infractions like gender reveal parties, guys who wear shorts when it’s forty below, and Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle.  
  You’ll be thoroughly entertained and in awe of how Stavola’s raucous sarcasm mirrors your inner most thoughts in this hilarious collection of easy-to-read essays. With her witty and insightful observations, she’s like a modern-day George Carlin, except hairier. (Hey, she’s Italian. She was born with a mustache). 
  100 Things to Hate Before You Die is astute, honest, and laugh-out-loud funny. Claudia shares her aggravation over a range of topics from mundane things like Fakebook, crappy gift-givers, and ukuleles on talent show auditions, to more thought-provoking topics such as people with no shame, the need for a license to parent, and the death of Eddie Van Halen.  
  Delivered with razor-sharp force, Stavola’s hysterical and unique takes on everyday a**holes makes this not only a great read for comedy lovers, but a must-read.

  In this era of climate crisis, in which our very futures are at stake, sustainability is a global imperative. Yet we tend to associate sustainability, nature, and the environment with distant places, science, and policy. The truth is that everything is environmental, from transportation to taxes, work to love, cities to cuisine. 
   
   
  This book is the first to examine contemporary Singapore from an ecocultural lens, looking at the ways that Singaporean life and culture is deeply entangled with the nonhuman lives that flourish all around us. The authors represent a new generation of cultural critics and environmental thinkers, who will inherit the future we are creating today. From chilli crab to Tiger Beer, Changi Airport to Pulau Semakau, O-levels to orang minyak films, these essays offer fresh perspectives on familiar subjects, prompting us to recognise the incredible urgency of climate change and the need to transform our ways of thinking, acting, learning, living, and governing so as to maintain a stable planet and a decent future.
