A Mischief of Rats by Sarah Yarwood-Lovett Pdf

When a driver dies during a glamourous classic car event at her family's estate, Dr Nell Ward is in a race against time to uncover the truth and prevent the killer from making a speedy getaway... Back in her natural habitat, Dr Nell Ward heads to a woodland pond to survey local newt populations. She's shocked to discover a car submerged in the water - with the driver dead behind the wheel. Nell recognises the dead man as professional racing driver, and tabloid love rat, Jack Rafferty, whose performance on (and off) Finchmere's racetrack had earned him enemies. Suspecting this isn't the tragic accident it appears DI James Clark calls upon Nell and her ecological skills to help find the murderer. But she soon finds that more lurks under the surface than she could ever have imagined. Despite the danger, Nell is determined to dredge up the truth from the murky depths of this case, before it's too late... A completely gripping and page-turning cosy mystery, perfect for fans of Richard Osman, Janice Hallett and Robert Thorogood.

Rats For Kids by Rachel Smith,John Davidson Pdf

Rats For Kids Table of Contents Introduction What is a rat? What kinds of rats are there? Where do rats live? The history of rats and humans What is a brown rat? What is a black rat? What is a lab rat? What kinds of lab rats are there? What is a fancy rat and what kinds are there? Conclusion Author Bio Introduction Rats are some of the most adaptable creatures in the world. It seems like everyone hates them, but they really are interesting and have contributed a lot to science and made good companions for people. So, are rats all bad? Easy answer, no. But that depends on what type of rat they are, and there are many that should be avoided. Like any animal, some rats are friendly, and others are nasty. But the rat is an enduring character, inspiring writers from Brian Jacques of the Redwall series and E. B. White in Charlotte's Web to cast them as nasty, icky villains or at least as unsavory characters. But then again, sometimes rats are portrayed as good characters, such as in Pixar's Ratatouille. In the end, a rat is simply an animal looking for food and shelter.

Rat Tales by P. A. Rudders Pdf

Had your rabies shots yet? The rats are loose! Twenty-four 'rat' themed short stories, and the first book in a three-book collection, The Creature Tales. Many of the stories here are traditional blood and gore filled horror, but several venture slightly into the realms of science fiction and the supernatural. Within this collection, the reader will find every rat incarnation imaginable, from the super strong and ultra intelligent to bloodthirsty and seemingly immortal. While every story has been written to stand alone, several are loosely inter-connected with an ongoing reference to the future. Among the stories are: A farmer's imaginative though barbaric attempt to solve his rat problem backfires in the worst possible way. A young boy's efforts to repay the kindness of his childhood rodent friends has consequences that will change the course of history. A vicious ghostly rat falls victim to karma. A centuries-old rat looks back on how it became the seemingly immortal creature it is. Some escaped convicts realise too late they've chosen the wrong couple to terrorise when their rodent pets see their own comfy lives threatened. A grim fate awaits those who take shelter in an abandoned house. A country squire finds himself on the receiving end of his sporting cruelty. These are just some of the stories in this extensive collection, so brace yourselves for ... A Mischief of Little Horrors. *A further two books in this three-book collection, Canine Tales and Six, Eight & Many Legged Tales, are scheduled for early 2019 ...

A Rat’s Nest of Rails by Steve Levi Pdf

That the Alaska Railroad was ever built is astonishing. It was constructed over the most treacherous terrain in the world during the most violent political era in US history. The workforce included anarchists, Bolsheviks, socialists, syndicalists, and labor union organizers against the backdrops of the First World War, Spanish Influenza, the Russian Revolution, American troops in Siberia to keep Russian Socialism from our shore, Japan's relentless gobbling of colonies from Southeast Asia to Siberia, and the Great Red Scare. It was built by the United States military to supply the United States Navy with coal and, in the process, closed coal mining in the Territory of Alaska – to the great anger of the private sector. Then there were the scammers, land speculators, Natives and their land claims, blacks and discrimination, sedition, wages in scrip, permafrost, freezeup/breakup, ration stamps, and environmental damage. A Rate's Nest of Rails is an in-the-weeds look at what it took to construct the only government-funded railway in American history.

Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction by Sabrina Ragone,Guido Smorto Pdf

Very Short Introductions: Brilliant, Sharp, Inspiring Comparative Law: A Very Short Introduction aims to offer a concise introduction to Comparative Law—its objectives, methods, concepts and uses. After an overview of the fundamental definitions, key concepts and basic lexicon of the discipline, the book proposes an analysis of the most successful techniques adopted in legal comparison for mapping the world's legal systems and for explaining legal change and diffusion of law, also giving a concise description of the legal traditions of the world. It also offers an account of the competing approaches adopted over time in comparative endeavours, from functionalism to culturalism and postmodernism, and highlights the different emphasis placed by each of these approaches on commonalities, faith in universal law and convergence, or on divergence and irreducible differences. Finally, the book provides readers with an understanding of the practical use of comparative law, describing how legal comparison is employed both in law-making and in adjudication, supplementing legal reasoning and interpretation. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.
