When the twelve-year-old daughter of a British carpenter pulled some strange-looking bones from the country's southern shoreline in 1811, few people dared to question that the Bible told the accurate history of the world. But Mary Anning had in fact discovered the "first" ichthyosaur, and over the next seventy-five years--as the science of paleontology developed, as Charles Darwin posited radical new theories of evolutionary biology, and as scholars began to identify the internal inconsistencies of the Scriptures--everything changed. Beginning with the archbishop who dated the creation of the world to 6 p.m. on October 22, 4004 BC, and told through the lives of the nineteenth-century men and women who found and argued about these seemingly impossible, history-rewriting fossils, Impossible Monsters reveals the central role of dinosaurs and their discovery in toppling traditional religious authority, and in changing perceptions about the Bible, history, and mankind's place in the world.

Impossible Monsters is the captivating story of the discovery of the dinosaurs and how it upended our understanding of the origins of the world.‘An astonishing book about an extraordinary subject' PETER FRANKOPAN'As thrilling as it is sweeping' TOM HOLLAND'This book dazzles in its originality . . . a triumph’ SATHNAM SANGHERASHORTLISTED FOR THE DUFF COOPER PRIZE 2025In 1811, a twelve-year-old girl uncovered some strange-looking bones in Britain’s southern shoreline - and so sparked a crisis that would engulf science and religion for the next six decades. By its end, the literal reading of the Bible had been overturned, science had been liberated from religion and the secular age had begun. Impossible Monsters takes us into the lives and minds of the extraordinary men and women whose discovery of the dinosaurs revolutionised our understanding of the world, as well as those who resisted them and those, like Charles Darwin, who took great risks to construct a new account of the earth’s and mankind’s origins. It is the riveting story of a group of people who dared to think impossible things and then showed them to be true.‘Truly marvellous ... an intellectual thriller’ RICHARD HOLMES‘A stunning work ... of surprises and revelations’ STEVE BRUSATTE

The core of this monograph is the development of tools to derive well-posedness results in very general geometric settings for elliptic differential operators. A new generation of Calderón-Zygmund theory is developed for variable coefficient singular integral operators, which turns out to be particularly versatile in dealing with boundary value problems for the Hodge-Laplacian on uniformly rectifiable subdomains of Riemannian manifolds via boundary layer methods. In addition to absolute and relative boundary conditions for differential forms, this monograph treats the Hodge-Laplacian equipped with classical Dirichlet, Neumann, Transmission, Poincaré, and Robin boundary conditions in regular Semmes-Kenig-Toro domains. The 1-st edition of the “Hodge-Laplacian”, De Gruyter Studies in Mathematics,Volume 64, 2016, is a trailblazer of its kind, having been written at a time when new results in Geometric Measure Theory have just emerged, or were still being developed. In particular, this monograph is heavily reliant on the bibliographical items. The latter was at the time an unpublished manuscript which eventually developed into the five-volume series “Geometric Harmonic Analysis” published by Springer 2022-2023. The progress registered on this occasion greatly impacts the contents of the “Hodge-Laplacian” and warrants revisiting this monograph in order to significantly sharpen and expand on previous results. This also allows us to provide specific bibliographical references to external work invoked in the new edition. Lying at the intersection of partial differential equations, harmonic analysis, and differential geometry, this text is suitable for a wide range of PhD students, researchers, and professionals.

The Desolation of MitraThe saga continues... The battle is over and Kanzser and his demon hordes have fallen to the blood moon, but there is no time for Cissy, Luke, Morgan and the rest to celebrate as a new, even greater menace threatens. Anarkus has murdered the head of the witch and wizard council and escaped from their mountain fortress. Now the renegade wizard, possessor of outrageous power, has turned greedy eyes upon the mortal world. As chaos reigns, the Sanctuary faces its greatest test if they are to prevent his total domination of the human race.

The exciting conclusion to The Passage Between the Worlds trilogy... The witch and wizard council has amassed a huge army as Portia plans the total destruction of the Sanctuary and its magic. But first they must defeat the Landlord and Aeryn, along with the witch and goblin worlds. Meanwhile Cissy, the insane leader of the Sanctuary remains in her prison, and without her there is little hope. Catrin enters the land of the dead in a desperate search for a cure but must face many dangers if she is to find it in time to free Cissy from her madness. As the Sanctuary enters its final death throes and the mortal world is overcome, has Portia's diabolical plan succeeded at last?

Imagine yourself drawn through different dimensions in time, into another London, centuries ago where you must learn powerful magic in order to save the entire world. Luke thinks he's just an ordinary teenager until he finds himself in The-Passage-Between-The-Worlds. There he encounters the mysterious and enigmatic wizard Morgan, leader of The Sanctuary, a secret order whose sole purpose is to protect the mortal world. Join Wizards and Witches, Faeiries and Demons in a fight between good and evil, a tale of jealousy and sibling rivalry which threatens to destroy us all.
