Whose stories will survive and whose will be lost? How do you know if you truly belong? It is 1800. On desolate, marshy ground between Lake Michigan and the Illinois River, a man builds a house and a city is born … This masterful debut novel spans Chicago’s tumultuous first century, showing how a city is made: by a succession of vivid, sometimes villainous individuals and their cumulative invention, energy, and vision. We meet the city’s unacknowledged founder, a descendant of colonisers and slaves; witness the dispersal of the indigenous Native Americans; hear stories of an entrepreneur, an engineer, a courageous female reporter, and a corrupt alderman; and track the lives of immigrants from all over the world, as they struggle for acceptance in a country they have built. Chicago, its inhabitants and its history are brought to dazzling, colourful life in this epic tale that speaks of not just one city but America as a whole, and of how people come to find their place in the world. Praise for MAKE ME A CITY: "MAKE ME A CITY is a thrillingly ambitious and ingeniously accomplished first novel. This is a stunning debut by a new and instantly important literary voice." - Robert Olen Butler, winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction "Jonathan Carr’s brilliant novel could not be more relevant to today’s world. The novel itself is a city, one that contains the myriad hopes, ambitions, disappointments and loves of its citizens, as they work like coral insects to build the structure in which they live and die." - Richard Francis, author of The Old Spring and Crane Pond Jonathan Carr, a Classics and English graduate of Cambridge University, holds a PhD from Bath Spa University in Creative Writing, a subject he first studied in Lake Charles, Louisiana. A prize-winning author of short fiction, he has previously worked as a travel correspondent and book reviewer. MAKE ME A CITY is his first novel. UK pub date: March 2019 // Material available: Finished copy // 512pp Rights sold: UK (Scribe), US (Holt) Fiction The Crying Machine Greg Chivers A sharp, lyrical thriller of power, religion, and artificial intelligence. The world has changed, but Jerusalem endures. Overlooked by new superpowers, the Holy City of the future is a haven of spies and smugglers, exiles and extremists. A refugee with strange technological abilities searches for a place to disappear. An ambitious young criminal plots the heist that could make or destroy him. A corrupt minister harnesses the power of the past in a ruthless play for power. And the wheels of another plan – as old and intricate as the city itself – begin to turn… Greg Chivers is a factual television producer. For most of the last twenty years he’s been making documentaries about science and history for US cable TV networks. His show ‘What on Earth?’ is now firmly established as the most successful series of all time on the Science Channel, while ‘NASA’s Unexplained Files’ last year made global news headlines and became a viral phenomenon, with the first youtube clip getting a million hits within two hours. He is a graduate of the Curtis Brown creative writing course and the Faber Academy. THE CRYING MACHINE is his first novel. UK pub date: April 2019 // Material available: Finished copy // 400pp Rights sold: UK (Harper Voyager) Fiction The Last of US Harriet Cummings Can you love a man you barely remember? 82-year-old Nettie still hears the occasional gossiping, but most have forgotten what she did. Now, living alone in a run-down farmhouse, she surrounds herself with memories of her late husband and estranged daughter Catherine. When Catherine's friend James appears out of the blue, Nettie is grateful for the company and keen to learn more about her daughter. But soon James starts asking Nettie questions she doesn't want to answer; about some things she can't remember and others she's tried to forget. As her memory fails her, how can Nettie be certain she did the terrible things everyone said she did? The new novel for fans of Anita Shreve, Maggie O'Farrell and Susan Elliot Wright - from the Books Are My Bag Award shortlisted author of WE ALL BEGIN AS STRANGERS. Praise for previos novel, WE ALL BEGIN AS STRANGERS: “Wonderful... Full of surprising twists, right up until the final revelations” - Caroline Lea, author of When the Sky Fell Apart “I so enjoyed WE ALL BEGIN AS STRANGERS. No 'characters' in sight - just meticulous, tender, complex portraits of people” - Emylia Hall, author of The Book Of Summers “[A] dazzling debut... Beautifully plotted, fantastically written and compellingly strange.” - Wendy Holden, Daily Mail Harriet Cummings is a freelance writer with a background in history of art and gender studies. She enjoys writing scripts and has had work performed at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, as well as independent venues around London. While studying at Faber Academy she threw herself into her first novel and hasn’t looked back since. UK pub date: May 2019 // Material available: Finished copy // 320pp Rights sold: UK (Orion) Previous publishers: UK (Orion), Germany (Deuticke) Fiction The Secret of Villa Serena Domenica de Rosa You can't build your dream life on a lie Emily Robertson looks like the woman who has it all: the lovingly restored Tuscan farmhouse, the three beautiful children, the successful, attentive husband. But when her husband dumps her by text message, she has to face up to some stark home truths. How will Emily cope, stranded in the countryside with no man, no money, dodgy phrasebook Italian and a psychotic cleaner? Her eldest girl is out of her depth with the local seducer, her middle daughter is dangerously underweight, and her darling baby is fast becoming a brat. But soon Emily finds herself being drawn into the village of Monte Albano, and discovering a more genuine Italy, darker and more intriguing than she had ever imagined. She and her children are outsiders no more - and if she can get over a slightly embarrassing obsession with her youthful first love, an attractive stranger might be about to show her the time of her life… A heartfelt, witty story of one woman's journey from heartbreak to adventure, full of gorgeous Italian flavour. Praise for THE SECRET OF VILLA SERENA: “A fascinating account of Italian life, written with skill and insight” - Katie Fforde “A fascinating story vividly told, this is a classic page-turner” - Italia magazine “Witty and light as a tiramisu but with tart insight” - Nottingham Evening Post Domenica de Rosa was born in London. She is half Italian and half English and her books often reflect life in both countries.

Phys. 81 (2018) 044901 Report on Progress TxT TxE BxB ExE Staggs, JD, Page 2018 review Figure 3. Example of recent CMB power spectra from [50–54]. Left. TT (top) and EE (bottom) data and power spectra plotted with logarithmic y axes. The TT and EE oscillations are out of phase by ∼π/2 as expected for acoustic oscillations (see section 1.4) since TT and EE trace density and velocity, respectively. The TT spectrum at low ℓ, corresponding to superhorizon scales at decoupling (see section 2.1), has post-decoupling contributions from gravitational redshifting of the photons as they pass through evolving potential wells, known as the integrated Sachs-Wolfe (ISW) effect [55, 56]. The EE spectrum peaks at higher ℓ than TT both because it lacks the ISW effect, and because the acoustic oscillation velocity gradients sourcing the polarization grow with k and thus with ℓ. The spectra are suppressed at large ℓ due to photon diffusion from smaller regions of space, also called Silk damping [57], and to geometric effects from compressing the 3d structure to 2d spectra. Right. TE with linear y axis. Since the ISW effect does not change the polarization, the negative peak at ℓ = 150 in TE confrmed that some of the largest scale features in the CMB are primordial, and not just late-time effects [58–60].

  • Neutrino Cosmology and Large Scale Structure
    Neutrino cosmology and large scale structure Christiane Stefanie Lorenz Pembroke College and Sub-Department of Astrophysics University of Oxford A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Trinity 2019 Neutrino cosmology and large scale structure Christiane Stefanie Lorenz Pembroke College and Sub-Department of Astrophysics University of Oxford A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Trinity 2019 The topic of this thesis is neutrino cosmology and large scale structure. First, we introduce the concepts needed for the presentation in the following chapters. We describe the role that neutrinos play in particle physics and cosmology, and the current status of the field. We also explain the cosmological observations that are commonly used to measure properties of neutrino particles. Next, we present studies of the model-dependence of cosmological neutrino mass constraints. In particular, we focus on two phenomenological parameterisations of time-varying dark energy (early dark energy and barotropic dark energy) that can exhibit degeneracies with the cosmic neutrino background over extended periods of cosmic time. We show how the combination of multiple probes across cosmic time can help to distinguish between the two components. Moreover, we discuss how neutrino mass constraints can change when neutrino masses are generated late in the Universe, and how current tensions between low- and high-redshift cosmological data might be affected from this. Then we discuss whether lensing magnification and other relativistic effects that affect the galaxy distribution contain additional information about dark energy and neutrino parameters, and how much parameter constraints can be biased when these effects are neglected.

  • Escaping Eden
    Escaping Eden Chapter 1 I wake up screaming. Where am I? What’s going on? Why do I feel so cold? It’s dark. I look around, blinking sleep from my eyes. I notice a window somewhere in the back of the room. It’s open and moonlight shines through, casting a square beam of light across the floor. A breeze drifts in, and white curtains float like pale ghosts in the darkness. In the narrow light of the moon, I see that the carpet is burgundy. I also see the outlines of furniture. My head vaguely aching, I look at the shadows scattered messily across the room. I feel like sweeping them up to make room for light. I shake off the urge. Stop being delusional. There’s a funny smell in the air, ​ ​ like a mixture of old home mustiness and laboratory sterilization. I realize that I’m lying on the floor. Why am I not on the bed? ​ The last thing I remember is pain. Maybe that’s why I woke up screaming. The ​ ​ pain was intense. The pain was… cold. I decide to swallow my fear. It tastes terrible. ​ I stand up and my neck aches. As I rub my hand across it, my bones crack like I haven’t moved in a long time. I whisper to myself. “As Grandpa always said…” My train of thought rolls off into the distance. Where was I going with this? Who is “Grandpa”? I put my hand on my sweaty ​ forehead. I must be tired. I look for a light switch by approaching the walls and groping ​ ​ around.

  • Pression and Shock, He Burned His Ballet Slippers and Fled to the Sewers, Only to Surface These Forty Years Later
    Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo “The funniest night you will ever have at the ballet.” - Sunday Times “This is a company that brings its audiences pure joy.” -The Seattle Times History th Celebrating its 40 Anniversary season, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo was founded in 1974 by a group of ballet enthusiasts for the purpose of presenting a playful, entertaining view of traditional, classical ballet in parody form and en travesti, Les Ballets Trockadero first performed in the late-late shows in Off-Off Broadway lofts. The TROCKS, as they are affectionately known, quickly garnered a major critical essay by Arlene Croce in The New Yorker, and combined with reviews in The New York Times and The Village Voice, established the Company as an artistic and popular success. By mid 1975, the TROCKS' inspired blend of their loving knowledge of dance, their comic approach, and the astounding fact that men can, indeed, dance en pointe without falling flat on their faces, was being noted beyond New York. Articles and notices in publications such as Variety, Oui, The London Daily Telegraph, as well as a Richard Avedon photo essay in Vogue, made the Company nationally and internationally known. The 1975-76 season was a year of growth and full professionalization. The Company found management, qualified for the National Endowment for the Arts Touring Program, and hired a full-time teacher and ballet mistress to oversee daily classes and rehearsals. Also in this season, they made their first extended tours of the United States and Canada. Packing, unpacking, and repacking tutus and drops, stocking giant sized toe shoes by the case; running for planes and chartered buses all became routine parts of life.
