When an earthquake hits on their family vacation, can Kyle and his sister survive the following tsunami? The Worst Vacation Ever! Thirteen-year-old Kyle thought spending a vacation on the Oregon coast with his family would be great. He’d never flown before, and he’s never seen the Pacific Ocean. One evening Kyle is left in charge of his younger sister, BeeBee, while his parents attend an adults-only Salesman of the Year dinner on an elegant yacht. Then the earthquake comes—starting a fire in their hotel! As Kyle and BeeBee fight their way out through smoke and flame, Kyle remembers the sign at the beach that said after an earthquake everyone should go uphill and inland, as far from the ocean as possible. Giant tsunami waves—three or four stories high—can ride in from the sea and engulf anyone who doesn’t escape fast enough. Kyle and BeeBee flee uphill as a tsunami crashes over the beach, the hotel, and the town. The giant wave charges straight up the hillside and through the woods where the children are running for their lives. The perfect vacation has become a nightmare! Somehow Kyle and BeeBee have to outwit nature’s fury and save themselves from tsunami terror.

A giant stands on the shore, watching the sea. She never moves, never speaks, until the day she turns to a little girl and says, 'The sea is rising.' The brave girl takes the message to the town, but the people ignore her desperate pleas and banish the giant from their shores. But when the sea rises, threatening to wipe out the city, the giant returns to rescue as many people as she can and take them to make a new home on higher ground. And there, on a new shore, she stands watch once again. A lyrical and deeply moving story that touches on important themes for today's children.

"Did you come here to seduce me, little mite? I think you leave me no choice but to teach you a lesson." I'm the tallest unmarried girl in my village...and also taller than all the boys. This did nothing for my prospects of finding love. So instead, I went off to seek my fortune. It led me to a circus by the sea...and rumors of the last living giant. Apparently, he doesn't much care for people, but the ringmaster offers me riches beyond my dreams if I can entice him to come down from his home in the forest. Well, it was fortune I was seeking, and fortune I'm determined to find, so I climb the magic beanstalk to his hidden home, but...the giant is not amused by my plan. At all. And it turns out, his home is one big trap of faery vines. I'm snared by an antisocial but surprisingly handsome giant--and for the first time in my life, I've met a man who makes me feel delicate. He might want to punish me for trespassing, but...it feels more like passion. Only, the world isn't safe for the last giant, and maybe it's not safe for a woman who loves him either. The Giant's Captive is an adult fairy tale retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk for those who like an adorable happily ever after fantasy romance with a side of serious steaminess!

When the Greek island of Santorini, or Thera, erupted dramatically in the seventeenth or sixteenth century BC, it produced one of the largest explosions ever witnessed by humankind. The event covered Bronze Age settlements on the island with volcanic ash, and altered the course of civilisation in the region, possibly giving rise to the legend of Atlantis. Fire in the Sea blends the thrill of scientific discovery with a popular presentation of the geology, archaeology, history, peoples and environmental setting of Santorini. It is a case study of a natural disaster that will fire the imagination. Excellent colour photographs and illustrations along with easily understandable scientific and historic details make this book highly appealing to a wide audience. It will also be useful as a supplementary text for introductory courses in earth and atmospheric science, geology, volcanology, palaeoclimatology, as well as ancient history and archaeology.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER • From the winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and author of Never Let Me Go and the Booker Prize–winning novel The Remains of the Day comes a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory. In post-Arthurian Britain, the wars that once raged between the Saxons and the Britons have finally ceased. Axl and Beatrice, an elderly British couple, set off to visit their son, whom they haven't seen in years. And, because a strange mist has caused mass amnesia throughout the land, they can scarcely remember anything about him. As they are joined on their journey by a Saxon warrior, his orphan charge, and an illustrious knight, Axl and Beatrice slowly begin to remember the dark and troubled past they all share. By turns savage, suspenseful, and intensely moving, The Buried Giant is a luminous meditation on the act of forgetting and the power of memory.

Giants Of The Sea is the story of the colossal cargo ships that make today's world trade possible and the nine pioneers most responsible for them. The book covers the development of the modern cargo shipping industry with a focus on the postwar period when specialization and increases in vessel size dramatically reduced shipping costs. Each of today's major shipping segments are covered in detail with data on the ships that comprise them along with related information on their activity. In addition to chapters on each of the nine individuals and their contributions, an array of other subjects are covered including in the 30 chapters of the book. These include where ships are built, the cost economics of shipping, the affect of geography, China's impact on shipping, shipping and the environment, the challenges facing the industry and the future of shipping. An underlying thesis of the book is that the extraordinary cost efficiency of shipping is a prime catalyst in the postwar explosion of trade and that in addition to economic benefits has resulted in lifting hundreds of millions out of poverty and make the world a more peaceful safer place.
