Del 3 - Döden i Yorkshire
Ett avslöjande testamente
Pocket, Svenska, 2026
99 kr
Det senaste uppdraget på detektivbyrån känns till en början som en enkel och snabblöst fråga. Samson O'Brien anlitas av en advokat för att hitta en dödsattest för en ung kvinna som dog för över tjugo år sedan. Men snart förstår han att saker och ting sällan är så enkla. Särskilt när advokaten insisterar på att Delilah Metcalfe, med sin stora lokalkännedom, ska arbeta tillsammans med Samson i denna känsliga utredning.
Samson och Delilah hinner knappt påbörja sina efterforskningar förrän de blir indragna i ett mysterium som gäckat hela bygden i årtionden. Men om de finner sanningen om vad som verkligen hände, har de då också avslöjat hemligheter som vissa skulle föredra förblev begravda?
Ett avslöjande testamente är den tredje delen i Julia Chapmans charmiga deckarserie Döden i Yorkshire och passar alla som älskar Richard Osmans böcker.

Structures of Coastal Resilience presents new strategies for creative and collaborative approaches to coastal planning for climate change. In the face of sea level rise and an increased risk of flooding from storm surge, we must become less dependent on traditional approaches to flood control that have relied on levees, sea walls, and other forms of hard infrastructure. But what are alternative approaches for designers and planners facing the significant challenge of strengthening their communities to adapt to uncertain climate futures? Authors Catherine Seavitt Nordenson, Guy Nordenson, and Julia Chapman have been at the forefront of research on new approaches to effective coastal resilience planning for over a decade. In Structures of Coastal Resilience, they reimagine how coastal planning might better serve communities grappling with a future of uncertain environmental change. They encourage more creative design techniques at the beginning of the planning process, and offer examples of innovative work incorporating flexible natural systems into traditional infrastructure.They also draw lessons for coastal planning from approaches more commonly applied to fire and seismic engineering. This is essential, they argue, because storms, sea level rise, and other conditions of coastal change will incorporate higher degrees of uncertainty--which have traditionally been part of planning for wildfires and earthquakes, but not floods or storms. This book is for anyone grappling with the immense questions of how to prepare communities to flourish despite unprecedented climate impacts. It offers insights into new approaches to design, engineering, and planning, envisioning adaptive and resilient futures for coastal areas.
