Celia Grant must leave her beloved plants and fly to Madeira to oversee the estate of her niece, Antonia Hanbury, dead after a drunken misstep down a flight of stairs. But Antonia's death has opened a Pandora's box for Sir Adrian, her invalid father who must now leave his home, and for his nurse, Maria, an enigmatic Brazilian beauty terrified that her own death is inevitable. Evil, probably murder, is in the air. And soon Celia is caught in a web of suspicious characters, missing children, stolen orchids and blackmail... more dirt than even a devout horticulturalist may be able to dig herself out of.

War in the Shallows, published in 2015 by the Naval History and Heritage Command, is the authoritative account of the U.S. Navy's hard-fought battle along Vietnam's rivers and coastline from 1965-1968. At the height of the U.S. Navy’s involvement in the Vietnam War, the Navy’s coastal and riverine forces included more than 30,000 Sailors and over 350 patrol vessels ranging in size from riverboats to destroyers. These forces developed the most extensive maritime blockade in modern naval history and fought pitched battles against Viet Cong units in the Mekong Delta and elsewhere. War in the Shallows explores the operations of the Navy’s three inshore task forces from 1965 to 1968. It also delves into other themes such as basing, technology, tactics, and command and control. Finally, using oral history interviews, it reconstructs deckplate life in South Vietnam, focusing in particular on combat waged by ordinary Sailors. Vietnam was the bloodiest war in recent naval history and War in the Shallows strives above all else to provide insight into the men who fought it and honor their service and sacrifice. Illustrated throughout with photographs and maps. Author John Darrell Sherwood has served as a historian with the Naval History and Heritage Command (NHHC) since 1997.

Enterprise Security Architecture: A Business-Driven Approach

Security is too important to be left in the hands of just one department or employee―it’s a concern of an entire enterprise. Enterprise Security Architecture shows that having a comprehensive plan requires more than the purchase of security software―it requires a framework for developing and maintaining a system that is proactive. The book is based around the SABSA layered framework. It provides a structured approach to the steps and processes involved in developing security architectures. It also considers how some of the major business issues likely to be encountered can be resolved.
