Little Women
by

Lovely Meg, talented Jo, frail Beth, spoiled Amy: these are hard lessons of
poverty and of growing up in New England during the Civil War. Through
their dreams, plays, pranks, letters, illnesses, and courtships, women of all
ages have become a part of this remarkable family and have felt the deep

Part I. Part II, chronicles Meg's joys and mishaps as a young wife and
mother, Jo's struggle to become a writer, Beth's tragedy, and Amy's artistic

Classic
Pride And Prejudice
by
Jane Austen
[F AUS]
Few have failed to be charmed by the witty and independent spirit of
Elizabeth Bennet in Austen's beloved classic Pride and Prejudice .
When Elizabeth Bennet first meets eligible bachelor Fitzwilliam Darcy,
she thinks him arrogant and conceited; he is indifferent to her good
looks and lively mind. When she later discovers that Darcy has
involved himself in the troubled relationship between his friend Bingley
and her beloved sister Jane, she is determined to dislike him more
than ever. In the sparkling comedy of manners that follows, Jane
Austen shows us the folly of judging by first impressions and superbly
evokes the friendships, gossip and snobberies of provincial middle-
class life.

Classic Sense And Sensibility
by
Jane Austen
[F AUS]
Sister Marianne and Elinor couldn't be more different. Marianne is
desperately romantic and longing to meet the man of her dreams, while
Elinor takes a far more cautious approach to love.
When the two of them move to the country with their family, miles away
from London, there is little prospect of them finding anyone at all, But then
they meet their new neighbours - including kind Edward Ferrers and the
good-looking, dangerous Willoughby - and it seems happiness may be just
round the corner after all.
Things aren't always as they appear to be, though. Soon, both sisters will
need to decide who to trust in their search for love- their family, their new
friends, their heads - or their hearts?

Wuthering Heights
by
Emily Bronte
[F BRO]
Cathy is a beautiful and willful young woman torn between her
soft-hearted husband and Heathcliff, the passionate and
resentful man who has loved her since childhood. The power
of their bond creates a maelstrom of cruelty and violence
which will leave one of them dead and cast a shadow over the
lives of their children. Emily Bronte's novel is a stunningly
original and shocking exploration of obsessive passion.

Classic Madame Bovary : Provincial
Lives
by
Gustave Flaubert
[F FLA]
Emma is beautiful and bored, trapped in her marriage to a mediocre doctor and stifled
by the banality of provincial life. An ardent devourer of sentimental novels, she longs for
passion and seeks escape in fantasies of high romance, in voracious spending and,
eventually, in adultery. But even her affairs bring her disappointment, and when real life
continues to fail to live up to her romantic expectations, the consequences are
devastating. Flaubert's erotically charged and psychologically acute portrayal of Emma
Bovary caused a moral outcry on its publication in 1857. It was deemed so lifelike that
many women claimed they were the model for his heroine; but Flaubert insisted-
'Madame Bovary, c'est moi.' This modern translation by Flaubert's biographer, Geoffrey
Wall, retains all the delicacy and precision of the French original. The edition also
contains a preface by the novelist Michele Roberts.

Mythos
by
Stephen Fry
[F FRY]
The Greek myths are the greatest stories ever told, passed down through
millennia and inspiring writers and artists as varied as Shakespeare,
Michelangelo, James Joyce and Walt Disney. They are embedded deeply
in the traditions, tales and cultural DNA of the West. In Stephen Fry's
hands the stories of the titans and gods become a brilliantly entertaining
account of ribaldry and revelry, warfare and worship, debauchery, love
affairs and life lessons, slayings and suicides, triumphs and tragedies.
You'll fall in love with Zeus, marvel at the birth of Athena, wince at Cronus
and Gaia's revenge on Ouranos, weep with King Midas and hunt with the
beautiful and ferocious Artemis. Thoroughly spellbinding, informative and
moving, Stephen Fry's Mythos perfectly captures these stories for the
modern age - in all their rich and deeply human relevance. (WorldCat)

they surged forward through the smoke. Thousands of men screaming and
yelling, their line was kilometres wide. Behind them came Monash's tanks,
those huge, new mobile machines. They smothered the land they ran over;

Brettoneux. Weary after years of fighting and deadlock, Ned and his mates

Diana Preston
[951 PRE]
In the last years of the nineteenth century, the Western powers were
bickering over how to slice up the pie of China, while the presence
they had already established there was undermining the Chinese
people’s traditional ways. Then a new movement ? mystical,
militaristic, and virulently anti-Christian ? began to spread like wildfire
among the Chinese peasants. The contemptuous foreigners
nicknamed them ?the Boxers? ? a snickering reference to their
martial-arts routines ? never imagining that the group, with the
backing of China’s Empress Dowager, would soon terrorize the
world? Based on diaries, letters, memoirs, and extensive research,
this is ?a fast-paced and exciting narrative [that] skillfully captures the
human interest, folly, irony, and tragedy of this historic upheaval?.

by

[623 TUR]
From the 10th century onwards the great Japanese monastic
foundations of Nara and Mount Hiei maintained large armies of warlike
monks. The tempestuous political rivalries that developed between the

their temples and monasteries had to be securely sited and robustly
defended. This books recreates these enormous fortified monasteries
and temples, tracing their development from the 10th century through
to the Sengoku Jidai period and the rise of the power of the shogunate
under Tokugawa Ieyasu.

The Sociological Imagination
by
C. Wright Mills
[301 MIL]
C.Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The
Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social
science should be pursued. The book took issue with the ascendant
schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology
connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives.
Mills's sociological imagination is in fact a sociological vision, a way of
looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private
problems of the individual and important social issues. Leading sociologist
Todd Gitlin brings this fortieth anniversary edition up to date with a lucid
afterword in which he considers the manifold contributions Mills made with
this pioneering work, and examines how Mills's research relates to
American society today.

Why is there more chance we'll believe something if it's in a

will be more competent? The answer lies in the two ways
we make choices- fast, intuitive thinking, and slow, rational
thinking. This book reveals how our minds are tripped up by
error and prejudice (even when we think we are being
logical), and gives you practical techniques for slower,
smarter thinking.

What Is Consent? : Why Is It
Important? And Other Big
Questions
by
Louise Spilsbury
[158.2 SPI]
What is consent? Why does it matter? How does it affect our daily lives? Why
is it such a grey area, sometimes? The concept of consent is easy to
oversimplify -- yes means yes, and no means no. Often, though, it isn't that
black and white. Have you ever said 'yes' to something when, really, you
wanted to say 'no'? Or have you ever tried to convince someone to do
something they don't want to? This book explores how consent works, and
why it matters. It explains how consent plays a part in almost every interaction
or relationship we have, and how it affects almost every area of life, from
healthcare to the law. The book encourages children to think about what
consent means to them, and about the importance of personal boundaries -
both knowing your own, and respecting other people's. It talks about how to
say no, and what to do if you feel your consent has been violated.

Don Juan
by
Baron George Gordon Byron
[821 BYR]
Byron s exuberant masterpiece tells of the adventures of Don Juan,
beginning with his illicit love affair at the age of sixteen in his native
Spain and his subsequent exile to Italy. Following a dramatic
shipwreck, his exploits take him to Greece, where he is sold as a slave,
and to Russia, where he becomes a favourite of the Empress
Catherine who sends him on to England. Written entirely in ottava rima
stanza form, Byron's Don Juan blends high drama with earthy humour,
outrageous satire of his contemporaries (in particular Wordsworth and
Southey) and sharp mockery of Western societies, with England
coming under particular attack.

Selected Poems
by
[821 BYR]
Described as 'Mad, bad and dangerous to know' by one of his
lovers, Lady Caroline Lamb, Lord Byron was the quintessential
Romantic. Flamboyant, charismatic and brilliant, he remains almost
as notorious for his life - as a political revolutionary, sexual
adventurer and traveller - as he does for his literary work. Yet he
produced some of the most daring and exuberant poetry of the
Romantic age, from To Caroline and To Woman to the satirical
English Bards and Scotch Reviewers , his exotic Eastern tales and
the colourful narrative of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage , the work that
made him famous overnight and gave birth to the idea of the
brooding Byronic hero.

media, prints, photography, metalwork and glasswork. 'We defy: By existing; By
