Death at Windward Hill, first published in 1931, is a ‘golden-age’ murder mystery by Helen Hultman, author of 7 mystery/detective titles in the 1930s–1950s. From the dustjacket: “Suddenly a life was snuffed out – Who was the perpetrator of this horrible murder? Who killed Miss Marrender, a sickly maiden old lady of wealth to whom the hand of death was beckoning? The nurse who reported the death as from natural causes and left suddenly? The heirs, some of whom were more favorably remembered? Or ...? We could go on, but to do so would reveal Miss Hultman’s intricate mystery plot. The absorbing manner in which this story is told, the clever drawing of the many characters, combine to make a thrilling, baffling story.”

This collection of poetic short stories includes a glimpse of life, imagination, love, nature and beauty. It speaks to the hearts of all, explores the meaning of life and stares into the inherent sadness that such beauty can bring. Beginning with a love story on an open ocean with regrets of life choices and dreams bigger than life itself; it then turns to man talk on porches wide and ends with love poems only lovers should read.

This critical history of Iain M. Banks' Culture novels covers the series from its inception in the 1970s to the The Hydrogen Sonata (2012), published less than a year before Banks' death. It considers Banks' origins as a writer, the development of his politics and ethics, his struggles to become a published author, his eventual success with The Wasp Factory (1984) and the publication of the first Culture novel, Consider Phlebas (1987). His 1994 essay "A Few Notes on the Culture" is included, along with a range of critical responses to the 10 Culture books he published in his lifetime and a discussion of the series' status as utopian literature. Banks was a complex man, both in his everyday life and on the page. This work aims at understanding the Culture series not only as a fundamental contribution to science fiction but also as a product of its creator's responses to the turbulent times he lived in.

Death at Windward Hill: An elderly wealthy woman dies in her bed, but it is soon discovered to be murder. Her family kept up the barest of friendly overtures to stay in the will, but would any of them have killed for the fortune? A second murder complicates the plot, and then there's the matter of the missing nurse . . . The police have a puzzling mystery to unravel. Murder in the French Room: A woman is murdered in the fitting room of a large department store, leaving the police (particularly Detective Inspector Dan Bratton) with too many possible suspects. It's not long before there are plenty of motives, also. Helen Joan Hultman was a Dayton, Ohio, native, teaching high school English there for 35 years. She wrote six mystery novels, most inspired by local Ohio settings.

The Windward Road, published in 1956, made history. When Archie Carr began to rove the Caribbean to write about sea turtles, he saw that their numbers were dwindling. Out of this appeal to save them grew the first ventures in international sea turtle conservation and the establishment of the Caribbean Conservation Corporation. In addition to sea turtle biology, Carr recorded his general impressions, producing a natural history sprinkled with colorful stories.
