Miss Purdy ha ormai un'esperienza pluridecennale come scrittrice di gialli e, mentre cerca un posto ideale dove iniziare il suo nuovo romanzo, finisce per affittare Waterside Cottage, che si trova nella sperduta campagna del Norfolk e che, come suggerisce il nome, sorge vicino a un fiume. L'autrice ha un raffinato talento per infilarsi in situazioni fuori dall'ordinario e così scopre che il cottage è già occupato dal fantasma di Lilian Kemp, una ragazza annegata per sbaglio nel fiume lì accanto. La convivenza tra le due non è delle più rosee e il fantasma si impossessa temporaneamente della macchina da scrivere di Miss Purdy per farle un'inquietante rivelazione: 'Mi hanno assassinato'. Nel tentativo di dare pace allo spirito di Lilian, la scrittrice si mette a indagare e crea un bel po' di trambusto tra gli abitanti locali... fino a quando non si verifica un secondo annegamento! Questa volta, però, non ci sono dubbi: si tratta di un omicidio.

La storia della trasmissione dei testi greci e latini e della loro fortuna nel corso dei secoli è l'oggetto di questo manuale, proposto come guida semplice a un campo di studi classici spesso lasciato in margine: questa storia è la chiave per interpretare correttamente gli apparati di varianti nelle edizioni critiche, ma anche per ben valutare l'importanza della tradizione classica nella cultura europea dalla caduta dell'Impero romano all'Età moderna. La prima edizione, apparsa quasi cinquant'anni fa, andava a colmare un vuoto. Subito in Italia ne fu pubblicata la traduzione (1969), raccomandata agli studenti che dovevano affrontare la filologia e la civiltà del mondo antico, del Medioevo e dell'Umanesimo. Se ne offre ora la quarta edizione italiana, traduzione della quarta inglese (2013), che mantiene l'impostazione delle precedenti, ma è ampliata e aggiornata in profondità, per rendere conto del rapido e costante progresso scientifico delle discipline classiche.

Blythe, a young, acrophobic stewardess, discovers a strange, new reality beyond the ordinary world of air travel.

In this final AIR volume, Blythe returns to work to find a surprise: the Hyperwing 307, the sleekest and most advanced airship ever built. It will be hers to pilot – if she survives a series of baffling tests.

Then, on her way to a final confrontation with the Etesians, Blythe must untangle a mystery surrounding the disappearance of legendary aviator/author Antoine De Saint Exupery and discover the hidden meaning of a lost manuscript by Jules Verne.

Consultants Robillard and Wilson update again their textbook and reference on the legal aspects of surveying, an area rarely covered in either surveying or law courses. It can be used alone or in conjunction with another textbook in a course, or as a reference for practicing surveyors. They do not explain how to survey, but what to do with a completed survey, and what clients expect from a survey. Among the topics are words as evidence, calculations and measurements as evidence, recording and preserving evidence, original surveys and related platting laws, guarantees of title and location, professional liability, and the surveyor in court.
