The master storyteller continues the Clifton saga with this, the second volume. New York, 1939. Tom Bradshaw is arrested for first degree murder. He stands accused of killing his brother. When Sefton Jelks, a top Manhattan lawyer, offers his services for nothing, penniless Tom has little choice but to accept his assurance of a lighter sentence. After Tom is tried, found guilty and sentenced, Jelks disappears, and the only way for him to prove his innocence would be to reveal his true identity — something that he has sworn never to do in order to protect the woman he loves. Meanwhile, the young woman in question travels to New York, leaving their son behind in England, having decided she'll do whatever it takes to find the man she was to marry — unwilling to believe that he died at sea. The only proof she has is a letter. A letter that has remained unopened on a mantelpiece in Bristol for over a year. In Jeffrey Archer's epic novel, family loyalties are stretched to their limits as secrets unravel, and the story moves from the backstreets of Bristol to the boardrooms of Manhattan. Join the great storyteller on a journey where there are no stop signs, no cul-de-sacs and no dead ends. |

This sweeping saga recreates the extraordinary opulence and violence of Tsarist Russia as the shadow of revolution fell over the land, and destroyed a way of life for these Imperial women. The early 1850s until the late 1920s marked a turbulent and significant era for Russia. During that time the country underwent a massive transformation, taking it from days of grandeur under the tsars to the chaos of revolution and the beginnings of the Soviet Union. At the center of all this tumult were four women of the Romanov dynasty. Marie Alexandrovna and Olga Constantinovna were born into the family, Russian Grand Duchesses at birth. Marie Feodorovna and Marie Pavlovna married into the dynasty, the former born a Princess of Denmark, the latter a Duchess of the German duchy of Mecklendburg-Schwerin. In From Splendor to Revolution, we watch these pampered aristocratic women fight for their lives as the cataclysm of war engulfs them. In a matter of a few short years, they fell from the pinnacle of wealth and power to the depths of danger, poverty, and exile. It is an unforgettable epic story. |

A new six-level course for children studying science in English. The course develops children's knowledge of science, history and geography as well as providing systematic development of English language skills.

A key feature of the course is the development of English language skills alongside science content. Language and vocabulary are carefully graded and introduced within the science context. The language is integrated into each topic and summarised at the start of each unit and lesson. All four skills of speaking, listening, reading and writing are introduced and built on. |

Macmillan Natural and Social Science is a 6-level British English primary course covering all the levels in Spanish primary schools (ages 6-12). It is designed to meet the needs of teachers and pupils in bilingual schools who have 4-5 hours of English a week and who have science classes in English. The course begins by focusing on topics close to the pupil's immediate environment (i.e. school and family) before extending outwards to less immediate topics such as matter and the Solar System in later levels. The emphasis is placed on the science content through the course. Although the language has been carefully graded and structured, this is not at the expense of the delivering the content. An integral part of the course is its hands-on-approach to learning Science. Through practical investigations, the pupils are encouraged to apply scientific thinking (making predictions and evaluating results) and learn through doing. The Activity Book provides further written practice and consolidation of the science content. |
