Book Description

"Billionaire Wilderness offers an unprecedented look inside the world of the ultra-wealthy and their relationship to the natural world, showing how the ultra-rich use nature to resolve key predicaments in their lives. Justin Farrell immerses himself in Teton County, Wyoming--both the richest county in the United States and the county with the nation's highest level of income inequality--to investigate interconnected questions about money, nature, and community in the twenty-first century. Farrell draws on three years of in-depth interviews with "ordinary" millionaires and the world's wealthiest billionaires, four years of in-person observation in the community, and original quantitative data to provide comprehensive and unique analytical insight on the ultra-wealthy. He also interviewed low-income workers who could speak to their experiences as employees for and members of the community with these wealthy people. He finds that the wealthy leverage nature to climb even higher on the socioeconomic ladder, and they use their engagement with nature and rural people as a way of creating more virtuous and deserving versions of themselves. Billionaire Wilderness demonstrates that our contemporary understanding of the relationship between the ultra-wealthy and the environment is empirically shallow, and our reliance on reports of national economic trends distances us from the real experiences of these people and their local communities"--

Book Description

This book examines the impact of the "Big Five" technology companies – Apple, Alphabet/Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft – on journalism and the media industries. It looks at the current role of algorithms and artificial intelligence in curating how we consume media and their increasing influence on the production of the news. Exploring the changes that the technology industry and automation have made in the past decade to the production, distribution and consumption of news globally, the book considers what happens to journalism once it is produced and enters the media ecosystems of the internet tech giants – and the impact of social media and AI on such things as fake news in the post-truth age. The audience for this book are students and researchers working in the field of digital media, and journalism studies or media studies more generally. It will also be useful to those who are looking for extended case studies of the role taken by tech giants such as Facebook and Google in the fake news scandal, or the role of Jeff Bezos in transforming The Washington Post.

Bringing a new life into the world is a beautiful experience. Unless it’s in the middle of the worst storm to hit Norfolk for decades, and you’re trapped in a remote, rundown cottage hospital, where the matron believes it’s still the nineteen-fifties! A pre-Christmas get-together at Fern Cottage turns into a panic-filled dash to the hospital at Kings Lynn for Celia, Jack, Daisy and Aidan. They don’t make it. As the crazy storm brings down trees all around them, forced to make a last-gasp detour along a tiny wooded lane, their prayers are answered. Or so they think. Through the lashing rain they spot a tiny, private cottage hospital. With Celia in acute pain, there’s no choice. That’s when the problems really begin… Meanwhile, back in Great Wiltingham… With all four members of the HDA otherwise occupied, Doris and Maisie take it upon themselves to keep the detective agency running. By an unfortunate quirk of fate they accept a case, and there’s no one else to handle it except the Terrible Twosome! It’s just a simple job. The kind that can be wrapped up in a few hours. Or maybe it’s not… Daisy's third Christmas special is a roller-coaster of high emotion and unexpected twists and turns. Enjoy!

Book Description

Babysitting is never as easy as it seems. When the ‘baby’ is in her late teens, and determined to show everyone she’s older than she really is, things can get a little out of control! Frank makes a special request to Sandie and the team, asking them to babysit a key witness, whose testimony will send a Miami crime boss down for a very long time. The FBI has kept her a secret, setting up a decoy to make sure she actually gets to Miami to give her evidence. No one else knows she’s anything other than a teenager off for a beach holiday. The problem is she lives in Chicago, and it’s rather a long way from Florida. So the deMountford and Shaw Private Investigations Agency are tasked with accompanying her on the Florida Limited night sleeper train, and keeping an eye on her in Miami until she gives evidence, after which the FBI will take over protection duties, once her identity is revealed. It seems like a simple babysitting job, until they discover the girl is determined to make the most of a few days away from her parents, and reap as much benefit from her trip as she can. None of them have any experience of controlling a rampant, precocious teenager, who seems committed to getting herself as noticed as possible! It’s not the best idea when she’s holding the key to taking down one of the most ruthless men in America. Especially when things turn a lot more dangerous, and Sandie and Daphne find themselves as much on their own as they’ve ever been.

Essentially-English, almost-certainly quirky, and definitely a little crazy, come and meet our feisty R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine, and find out why she’s such a hit with readers! “One of the best cozy mysteries I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” This time Daisy’s past catches up with her again, but in an even more worrying way. Following a recent embarrassing diplomatic mess, MI6 has tasked an obnoxious, thoroughly-unpleasant senior agent with ‘cleaning up’ their image. Part of his task involves scrutinising old missions from before the time the SIS had to be more politically-correct. His eagle-eyes have unearthed a case in 1998 which he believes proves Daisy to be a double agent, and unfortunately for her, he has the authority to prosecute. He’s not letting go, but then a couple of discoveries in Daisy’s present spook her even more. The darker side of MI6 is out to make an example of her, and ensure they’re seen to be doing it. She realises she has to tread very carefully to prove her innocence, especially as recent events are more fuel for the pointing finger. Daisy can’t trust anyone outside her family, other than the one person who might be able to help. The only problem is she’s not in the UK. A trip to the Caribbean is on the cards, but when Daisy and Aidan reach Emerald Island it’s not long before they discover something no one in the entire world expected!

Book Description

When Sandie witnesses her client committing a cut-and-dried murder, her head tells her to walk away. Her heart tells her she can’t. Keeping away from the mob is Sandie’s first rule of survival… until the day someone comes to call, and changes everything. It is 1920’s Chicago. What came to be known as the ‘roaring twenties’. For private investigator Sandie Shaw, ‘roaring’ was hardly the flattering kind of way she would ever describe it. Born and raised in the city, she despises everything it has become. In her view, Chicago typifies the false decadence gripping America. Still recovering from the lawlessness of the Wild West, her city and the rest of the country then entered the world war for a brief time, and when that was over, the whole nation seemed to lose all sense of reason. People went crazy. Prohibition raised its ugly head, and the mobsters and the flappers took over Chicago. Her beloved city had fallen at the mercy of those who believed they were above the law… once again. Now fifty-three, for a long time Sandie has had to be strong willed to stay in one piece. Being gutsy and taking no nonsense helps to maintain a sense of right and wrong, and to retain her very individual identity. Taking over the one-man agency when her father died, and making it a one-woman business, she knew from the off that in a male-dominated environment she would have to be tough, and witty, to succeed. And that keeping well away from anyone with a machine gun was a big part of staying alive. For eight years she has avoided anything mob-related. Then one day someone comes to call, and without Sandie even realizing what she’s getting into, suddenly she’s up to her chin in murky waters. And that changes everything… ‘Murder at the Green Mill’ is the inaugural book of the Sandie Shaw historical murder mystery series. All the RTG-brand features readers have come to love are here… high drama, heartfelt emotion, fast-paced action, witty humour, and of course, heaped spoonfuls of the unexpected. Read about The Sandie Shaw Mysteries on the new rtgreen website… and do check out everything else we create too! Enjoy!

Book Description

It all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret... If you’ve not met our R.E.D. (Retired Extremely Daisy) heroine yet, the first bundle is a great way to get to know her, and the hit series! Three full books for less than the price of two! Daisy moved to a village a few miles from Kings Lynn in Norfolk a year ago, after a very unfortunate incident in London made her decide village life was the best option. She’s adapted to country life quite well, although she rather irreverently refers to the village of Great Wiltingham as the ‘place people go to wilt’. She does have a wicked side, after all! “One of the best cozy mystery series I’ve ever read!” “A real breath of fresh literary air!” In the first book, after some strange goings-on and a murder in the village, Daisy and Aidan, together with a young police-woman called Sarah, whose curiosity gets the better of her, set about solving the mystery. It all begins with a rose bush, mysteriously uprooted in the middle of the night, revealing a horrific secret... In the second book, village life has reverted to as normal as it ever gets where Daisy is concerned. Then one morning everything changes, in a very tragic way. To begin with, Daisy believes someone from her past is responsible. Before she retired, she had a job very few people have, after all. Then a clue from a really unexpected source makes her wonder if it might be someone much closer to home. So once again she becomes the worm on the hook, much to Aidan and Sarah’s horror. For Daisy there’s no choice, because this time it’s just about as personal as it gets… In the third book, following a surprise lead their daughter might have been sold by traffickers to someone in Africa three years ago, Daisy, Aidan and Sarah head for Uganda. But they’ve only been in the country a few minutes when a mysterious dying man thrusts a note into Daisy’s hand. As he gasps his last breath, he begs her not to involve the police. She suddenly realises there isn’t just one, but two mysteries to be solved! The extra mystery deepens as three different people confess to a murder that took place many years ago. But there’s a silver lining to solving a case the local police closed in the nineteen-sixties, because it unearths an overgrown path that just might lead them to Celia. A path that could very well end in an international incident! Read all about Daisy, Sandie, and everything else we do, on the new rtgreen website. Enjoy!

When Satan’s little helper gets real, everyone feels the heat! “Raven is a perfect blend of romance, comedy, action-horror and fantasy. Full of moments to make you giggle, and then reach for the tissue-box!” This is the Raven Combo: Books 1 – 3 - ‘No Angel!’ ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘Black Rose’. Meet Raven… She’s feisty, spirited, and has a tendency to get lost in the game. She was born at the age of twenty-seven. She wasn’t allowed to think her own thoughts, or make a single move unless someone else wanted her to. That’s life, for a character in a book. The author of the book, Mika Mills, knew all good writers try to bring their characters to life… but there are limits! When it all began one fateful, life-changing night, those limits were not only exceeded, but banished to the other side of the universe forever! One moment it was a story about she-devils and Satan, then a storm with strange red lightning hit the village... and suddenly the novel became a biography. Neither Mika or Raven realised it was just the beginning of their spectacular new lives, or that their destinies were being shaped by an ancient scribe, and an even older mystical tablet… their futures woven together through the pages of time itself. They are just about to find out… “If you’ve had your fill of the same-old, try a little Raven!” Check out Raven and Mika’s story on the rtgreen website. Enjoy!
