Set against the backdrop of rustic Americana, "The Camp in the Foot-Hills; or, Oscar on Horseback" encapsulates the spirit of adventure and the charm of frontier life through the eyes of a young protagonist, Oscar. Castlemon's writing exhibits a vivid narrative style that blends humor, suspense, and moral lessons, making it accessible to both young readers and nostalgic adults. The book contributes to the genre of boys'Äô literature in the late 19th century, reflecting the social ideals of courage, camaraderie, and the virtues of outdoor life, resonating with the ethos of adventure during a time when the American frontier was a symbol of opportunity and exploration. Harry Castlemon, an influential figure in juvenile literature, was born in 1842 and developed a passion for storytelling through his experiences in rural settings.

When the moon is full and a Bogong breeze stirs the still night air, something magical begins to unfold... 
In Once In A Bogong Blue Moon, Alice and her ever-purring, ever-changing cat Stripes find themselves caught between wonder and waiting. As the mysterious Bogong moths prepare for their long migration, Alice is faced with her own quiet challenge: learning the power of patience. 
Guided by her giggling Uncle Puggie and comforted by the gentle purrs of her magical feline friend, Alice mishears a grown-up word—Trichotillomania—and thinks it must be something fun, something silly, maybe even a “Tickle Tickle Many.” But as her thoughts wander from moths to moonlight and feelings she doesn’t yet have words for, Alice begins to discover that some things—like moths, emotions, and even tangled thoughts—take time to understand. 
This imaginative, heartwarming tale is perfect for readers aged 6–10. It weaves together the quiet magic of nature, the wonder of transformation, and the tender truth that it’s okay not to have all the answers. Sometimes, patience is the most powerful kind of magic.

Karen Hartley is a charismatic agent in the British Secret Intelligence Service. She and her fellow SIS agent, Fiona Mossop, are assigned to investigate and expose a powerful syndicate operating between England, South Africa and Far Eastern Countries engaging in illegal poaching of rhino horns, elephant tusk and lion bones “sets”.  
Mark Warner, a South African banker, wildlife conservation writer and documentary maker is also a SIS agent in Africa, and becomes involved when his daughter Annabelle suggests recruiting Karen Hartley to investigate and hunt down the heads of the syndicate after his wife, a passionate ecologist and anti-poaching campaigner, is murdered whilst researching the slaughter of black and white rhino in the Kruger National Park.  
Karen and Fiona use their intellect and skill to track down a syndicate operating in a private game reserve where a large number of rhino are still to be found. The syndicates use poor local Mozambican males who risk their lives being lured over the border and with machete in hand, to hack the horn off rhino be it dead or alive, revealing the lengths they will go for sexual gratification, power and greed, pushing the price of rhino horn to an alarmingly high commodity, more expensive than gold, diamonds and heroin.

What framework can guide Christian engagement with major economic, social and political issues in public life in 21st century Europe?
What other schools of thought exist apart from Catholic Social Teaching and Christian Democracy?

Sallux has collaborated with the Jubilee Centre in Cambridge over several years to apply a new framework, agenda and strategy for Christian social reform, called Relational Thinking. It starts with the Christian belief that human beings are created by a relational God to form relational societies – the contemporary application of the ancient adage to 'love our neighbour as ourselves'.

This book is a compilation of fi ve reports, two of which discuss the overall concept of Relational Thinking, while the others demonstrate how it can be applied to three contemporary issues: the need for monetary reform, the challenges of artifi cial intelligence and the ethics of remuneration. You can fi nd other examples of issues being analysed from a relational perspective, from business to city transformation.

Deeply biblical, Relational Thinking builds bridges through the language of relationships to connect Christians with people of other faiths or none, and o er a fresh approach to Europe's greatest public policy challenges today.
