“Armchair travelers will adore this tour of Christmastime London…[a] charming rom-com from British reality TV star Georgia Toffolo.” —Publishers Weekly Fans of Josie Silver's One Day in December and Christina Lauren's In a Holidaze will adore watching Victoria and Oliver's pretend engagement dissolve as their very real chemistry threatens to upend all their carefully laid-out secrets. Set against the most charming London backdrop, Meet Me in London is an irrisistable seasonal treat! What do you do when your fake engagement starts to feel too real… Aspiring clothes designer Victoria Scott spends her days working in a bar in Chelsea and her evenings designing vintage clothes, dreaming of one day opening her own boutique. But these aspirations are under threat from the new department store opening at the end of her road. She needs a Christmas miracle, but one is not forthcoming. Oliver Russell’s Christmas is not looking very festive right now. His family’s new London department store opening is behind schedule, and on top of that his interfering, if well-meaning, mother is pressing him to introduce his girlfriend to her over the holidays—a girlfriend who does not exist. He needs a diversion…something to keep his mother from meddling while he focuses on the business. When Oliver meets Victoria, he offers a proposition: pretend to be his girlfriend at the opening of his store and he will provide an opportunity for Victoria to showcase her designs. But what starts as a business arrangement soon becomes something more tempting as the fake relationship starts to feel very real. But when secrets in Victoria’s past are exposed, will Oliver walk away, or will they both follow their hearts and find what neither knew they were looking for…?

Laura Vivanco's study challenges the idea that Harlequin Mills & Boon romances are merely mass-produced commodities, churned out in accordance with a strict and unchanging formula. She argues that many are well-written, skilfully crafted works, and that some are small masterpieces. For Love and Money demonstrates the variety that exists beneath the covers of Harlequin Mills & Boon romances. They range from paranormal romances to novels resembling chick lit, and many have addressed serious issues, including the plight of post-Second World War refugees, threats to marine mammals, and HIV/AIDS. The genre draws inspiration from Shakespearean comedies and Austen's novels, as well as from other forms of popular culture. "“Laura Vivanco’s 'For Love and Money' is an impressive study of the popular fiction of Harlequin Mills and Boon that is a must read for any student of popular fiction and for those who write and love the genre” —Liz Fielding, author of over 50 Harlequin Mills & Boon romances.“Deep learning, wide reading, and clear thinking are very much in evidence in Vivanco’s exploration of HM&B. A welcome addition to popular romance criticism.” — Professor Pamela Regis, author of 'A Natural History of the Romance Novel'."Laura Vivanco’s analysis of the category romance is both meticulous and inspiring. And while Vivanco limits her examples and discussions to category romances by Harlequin Mills & Boon and the HQN imprint, her application of Frye’s mimetic modes begs for expansion to texts and authors across the genre. This piece of literary criticism should serve as a template for romance scholars to move from defending the genre to discussing its values and complexity as a literary art. — Maryan Wherry, 'Journal of Popular Romance Studies'

"Founded in 1908 the now legendary Mills Boon created romantic heroes and heroines that reflected every decade: the dark and rugged sheikh-doctor-widower-businessman who meets the young, attractive girl-next-door-secretary-careerwoman. The winning formula rarely changed, and today a Mills Boon book is sold in the UK every three seconds, with Harlequin selling more than four books per second globally in 26 languages." "This unique collection of book covers offers a fascinating visual record of how our perceptions of romance, love and drama have evolved over the years, and presents a treasure-trove of inspiration for designers and artists, as well as anyone working in advertising, film or fashion."--BOOK JACKET.

An Introduction to Spectroscopy presents the most fundamental concepts of inorganic chemistry at a level appropriate for first year students and in a manner comprehensible to them. This is true even of 'difficult' topics such as the wave mechanical atom, symmetry elements and symmetry operations, and the ligand group orbital approach to bonding, The book contains many useful diagrams illustrating (among other things) the angular dependence of atomic wave functions the derivation of energy level diagrams for polyatomic molecules; close packed lattices and ionic crystal structures. The diagrams of the periodic variation of atomic and molecular properties, showing trends across periods and down groups simultaneously, are especially instructive. Spectroscopy is presented mainly as a tool for the elucidation of atomic and molecular structures. Each chapter begins with a clear and concise statement of "What Every First-year Student Should Know About . . ." outlining the background knowledge that the student is assumed to have from previous courses and thus pointing out what topics might need to be reviewed. There are also detailed statements of the objectives of each chapter, a number of worked examples interspersed in the text, and a comprehensive set of problems and exercises to test the student's understanding. Tables of data throughout the text and appendices at the end provide much valuable information.
