In Alverston Park, author William Frank gives a deep bow to Jane Austen with a story of love and societal boundaries.

Yet this does little to deter the trio of charismatic Fitzosborne brothers, sons of the Earl of Alverston, who find themselves captivated by the Mowbray sisters during the London social season.Set against the opulent backdrop of Regency England, complete with grand balls, architectural splendour and society scandals, the narrative weaves in events like a secret newborn and a daring journey to Napoleon's island prison in the South Atlantic.

In Neo-Humean & Mechanismic Paradigms of Inference for Physical Science, author Philippos Afxentiou explores the intersections of causality across physical and social sciences. This work presents an ambitious framework for unifying scientific inference across disciplines, from hard sciences like physics to more conceptually nuanced fields like social science. Drawing on both Humean and mechanistic theories of causality, the book critically examines existing scientific paradigms, addressing their limitations and proposing a path toward greater coherence in understanding causation. Afxentiou's exploration of inductive reasoning, probabilistic causality, and multi-linear causation offers a compelling re-evaluation of what it means to establish a theory that bridges traditionally disparate fields. Ideal for readers with an interest in philosophy of science, this work brings clarity and innovation to one of the most complex debates in modern scientific thought.

All of which envelope deep emotions and experiences such as anguish, despair and discrimination, but also poetry that touches on subtle emotions like hope and tranquillity.The poems written upon the pages of this book have come from a fifteen-year-old all the way to now a nineteen-year-old who is thrilled to finally share them with the world. These poems are the face of feelings that have been internalised for far too long, and have served as a form of self-expression through not just adversity, but also times when hope and snippets of joy felt strong.Poetry has helped the author understand their emotions and how they take in and process the environment around them. The way the author sees the world is likely different from most, but the emotions within their poetry unwrap the harsh and kind feelings that may have, at least once, been felt by all."When the world turns their ears awayIt's poetry I send words toBecause there,You might just realise the value of my voice."- Mea Finch.
