Download or read book The Mystery of Angelina Frood written by R. Austin Freeman and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-11-09 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The young Dr John Strangeways has just established himself in Rochester. Immediately, he is charmed by his landlady, Angelina Frood, a young and charming former actress separated from an abusive husband. Serious trouble lies ahead, but fortunately Dr Thorndyke, a great forensic expert, takes an interest in the young woman's issues through the league of Dr Strangeways. It is a novel that reflects many themes such as unhappy marriages that were still difficult to dissolve during that era, but also very modern ones such as domestic violence, gender inequality, drug addiction and the advanced methods of forensic science, without, however, forgetting the humor that distinguished Freeman's pen. Gautier takes us into the fascinating world of 19th-century Naples where, amidst folklore, beliefs, challenges and passions, the difficult love story of an English couple, often disturbed by intrusions, unfolds. "Jettatura" is an interesting novel that, through fictitious characters, analyses 19th-century Neapolitan society, including its uses, customs and beliefs.

The first story featuring his well-known protagonist Dr. Thorndyke - a medico-legal forensic investigator - was published in 1907, and although Freeman's early works were seen as simple homages to his contemporary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, he quickly developed his own style: The 'inverted detective story', in which the identity of the criminal is shown from the beginning, and the story then describes the detective's attempt to solve the mystery.

This book was released on 2007-11-16 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "For all members of the Leave No Child Inside movement who are engaged with early childhood—as educators, child care providers, nature center staff, parents, landscape designers, or pediatricians—this book is an essential resource." Louise Chawla, Children and Nature Network, USA What do children learn through playing outdoors? What makes an effective and challenging play space? What is a safe environment and can children be too safe? How can adults best support challenging play outdoors? Young children seek adventure and challenge in their play outdoors. They look for places they can explore and spaces they can transform. However, provision for exciting and challenging play outdoors is often restricted because of an over-emphasis on safety, and also because the value of play outdoors is not well understood. This book offers a clear rationale for why outdoor play is essential in young children’s lives and learning. It asks fundamental questions about what sort of environments we want for young children, as well as examining controversial issues of risk and safety. The author identifies key principles underpinning the design of challenging outdoor play environments and examines how children use and transform space to create their own imaginary worlds. The essential role of the adult in supporting and extending children’s free play is examined and implications for practice identified. This book makes an important contribution to current debates on risk, safety and challenge in outdoor environments for young children. It brings together research from a range of different disciplines, as well as illustrative examples of children’s play and talk outdoors. Playing Outdoors is inspiring reading for early childhood practitioners, students, play workers, parents, policy makers and all those seeking to develop challenging outdoor play areas.
