A Miracle
A programme text edition published to coincide with the world premiere at the Royal Court Theatre, London, on 27 February 2009. Take one baby and a mother who's not sure if she's ready. Add a soldier returned from war and a grandmother holding the fort. Mix in a landscape of flatness and a pinch of violence in the countryside and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a miracle. A play about wanting a better life.
Books
Two holidaymakers die of a mysterious condition while on holiday in Corfu, piquing neurologist Lauren Furrows's interest. She investigates, finding help in the unlikely form of Richard Anger: independent bookshop owner, avant garde (unpublished) short story writer and borderline alcoholic. Together they discover the killer: best-selling author Gary Sayles and his insipid novels. Will they be able to stop him before millions die? Wildly humorous, this is a book that will challenge and play with your brain, wryly.
Such a Girl
Karen Siplin, whose first novel, His Insignificant Other, earned her critical praise from her peers and fans, presents Such a Girl -- a sexy and engaging new novel. In Such a Girl, Siplin brings to vivid life the story of a woman who ends a love affair for the "right" reasons, only to have a chance at beginning again years later. Nine years ago, Kendall Stark ended a relationship with the love of her life. As her college friends never tired of telling her, Jack was going nowhere fast. Now Kendall is thirty-one, working as an operator at a prestigious New York hotel and listening in on the personal calls of the celebrity guests, while she carries on a doomed affair with a married colleague.

Anaerobic Digestion IX
The necessity for sustainable development has stimulated interest in technologies that will lessen the impact of society on the planet. With anaerobic processes, as occurring in nature, organic material and pollutants are converted into (bio)gas, organic fertiliser and minerals, end-products that can be recycled. Interest in anaerobic processes is further enhanced by the worldwide concern over the ever-increasing consumption of fossil energy and the consequent drive for alternative sources of energy, such as biomass. As a result, the development of anaerobic processes is the result of a push by the technology and a pull by society. Politicians ask what role anaerobic processes can play in th...
Removal of Humic Substances from Water
Humic substances are naturally occurring organic material, derived from earth and plants, that cause a yellow-brown colouration to water; they are particular problem in water supplies in areas such as Scandinavia, with high humidity and temperatures around freezing, where supplies originating in moorland drainage are important. There are three main groups of reasons for treatment when such waters are to be used for drinking water purposes: aesthetic and organoleptic (sensory); health-related; and practical and economic reasons. All these factors informed a highly successful specialised conference from which these proceedings were selected. Researchers and practitioners involved with the problem of humic substances in water will find these proceedings an essential state-of-the-art reference to this subject. The 32 papers selected here cover the work of many of the world's leading experts, with a wide range of traditional and more innovative approaches to humics removal: Problem identification and overviews Coagulation-separation processes Membrane filtration processes Oxidation/biofiltration processes Sorption processes Humics removal by underground filtration Case studies.
