Set in 1947 The Case of the Grease Monkey's Uncle tells the story of James Arbuthnott and Archibald Cluff, two recently demobbed soldiers and their first case for the Arbuthnott and Cluff Detective Agency. An unlikely pairing, James was the taller of the two, with wavy fair hair and a moustache to match, very much the Officer and Gentleman and although of Scottish descent he had no trace of an accent, educated at Eton he had that distinguished confident air that immediately says, good breeding whilst his colleague was shorter and an altogether rougher diamond with ginger hair, from the East End of London, it would be true to say that one was tall and good looking whilst the other was not so lucky in the looks department and was built like a brick out house. Their first case involves the mysterious disappearance of the Uncle of William Trubshaw and involves, criminality, murder, intrigue, heroism and occasionally downright stupidity.

This book is designed to help those learning and teaching Computer Science. The aim of the book is to help students build fluency in their Python programming. The book would suit students who have already been introduced to the three basic programming constructs of structured programming, namely sequence, selection and iteration. The learning curve for programming can be quite steep and this book aims to ease this transition by encouraging practise and gradually introducing more complex concepts such as lists and 2D lists, file writing and using procedures and functions. Originally, the book was written for my 14-16 year old students studying for their GCSE Computer Science programming exam. However, I hope a wide range of students and teachers will find this book useful.

- Ray ! Tu es là, super... Il manquait plus que ça ! Eh bien il me reste plus qu'à faire les présentations.Isa pointe successivement son doigt vers moi et le mec.- Ray, voici Connard et Connard, voici Ray, ma charmante colocataire qui me détestait bien avant tout ce cirque. Ray, profites-en pour être aussi désagréable que tu sais l'être, Connard ici présent le mérite, lui !Et elle s'enferme dans la salle de bain en claquant la porte.Je regarde enfin le visage du type. Finalement, peut-être qu'il mérite mon respect puisqu'il est parvenu à vraiment énerver Isa alors que je pensais être la seule à pouvoir m'en vanter. Il paraît même rapide et efficace à ce petit jeu. Je lui fais donc une petite grimace d'approbation en tordant la bouche et en haussant les sourcils et il me sourit. Il est franchement beau et, avec ce sourire charmeur en plus, tout à fait le genre de type qu'Isa adore. Il n'a pas l'air particulièrement mal à l'aise à moitié à poil au milieu de notre salle à manger.

Winner of the Backlash Best Book Award. A poetry and photography collaboration."Life is a burial machine. It digs too much, buries too much, is forced to compress and compact every single impression until the plot explodes. The plot explodes. We start over. "The year lengthens, then constricts." We suffer guilt, hide our little evils, make vows that become poems we can't keep but keep. Insects, not gods, will save us, our friends are in the sand with needles in their arms, we're not really sure what love is because we're probably really just trees, "hands held high, / mythmaking," and polluted water and a frightening mess constantly illuminated and darkened by the ecstatic mind and "tired universe of bones," as the poet Jacob Griffin Hall, whose brain bristles in the ashram of steamy meditation, describes us, embroidering the air with sweat or dew or heroin or all of it-all of it. This is the poetry of everything."-Larissa Szporluk, author of VirginalsJacob Griffin Hall was raised outside of Atlanta, Ga. Jacob is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Missouri, where he works as poetry editor of The Missouri Review. His poems have appeared or are forthcoming in DIAGRAM, New South, The Carolina Quarterly, New Ohio Review Online, New Orleans Review, and other journals.
