Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Male-female relationships are at the center of this collection of thirteen stories. Roughly half the stories take place in the United States and half in Chile. A common thread runs through these keenly sensitive stories: the women take the initiative, and the men, willingly or unwillingly, follow their lead. At one end of the spectrum, Ari, 14 years old, is awakening to his sexuality, and at the other, Al, almost 70 and a former college professor, sees a potential affair with a young woman as his last opportunity to indulge his taste for sexual mischief. Along the way we also meet Dora, a free-spirited woman who, thirty years earlier, was in hot pursuit of Sergio, a married man, but who now holds a secret he is determined to uncover; Josh, home for the summer after having completed his freshman year in college, who is torn between family expectations and his attraction for Sofia, a Colombian immigrant; and a gallery of other unique characters.

In 1994, thirteen-year-old Fredrik Fröding lost his entire family in Europe’s worst ferry disaster, the shipwreck of MS Estonia. Twenty-five years later, still suffering from PTSD, he remains convinced that his younger brother survived. And when Fredrik thinks he sees him in a Stockholm hotel, his obsession drives him to follow the hotel’s owner to Ulvön Island to find out the truth. But a drunken Midsummer Eve leaves Fredrik unable to remember what happened—and the hotel owner dead. A murder at the height of tourist season puts enormous pressure on Det.

As Sofia slowly circles around Fredrik, his desperate attempt to clear his name resurrects a summer camp tragedy from 1979. Flowing from the past, a current of deception and lies raises the present body count—and threatens to drag both Sofia and Fredrik under . . .

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first volume of Ladies in the Laboratory provided a systematic survey and comparison of the work of nineteenth-century American and British women in scientific research. Companion volumes focused on women scientists from Western Europe and the former British colonial territories of South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. In Ladies in the Laboratory IV, Mary R.S. Creese expands her scope to include the contributions of nineteenth-century women of Imperial Russia. Many of these women believed that science was the key to social progress, and the great advances in scientific research—work in which Russians had leading roles—made scientific training especially attractive. Featuring biographical sketches of more than 120 women, this volume covers individuals whose scientific research encompassed medicine, chemistry, zoology, botany, and paleontology. Organized into chapters by field, the entries provide details about the personal backgrounds as well as professional achievements of these remarkable women. A well-organized blend of individual life stories and quantitative information, this volume is for everyone interested in nineteenth century science. The stories of these women make for fascinating reading and serve as a valuable source for those who want to learn more about the history of women in science and medicine as well as nineteenth-century Russian history.
