ATOMIC BLACKMAIL?
This month we remember the D-Day landings that helped end the Second World War. Unfortunately, Europe is again at war. Russia has invaded Ukraine, a sovereign democratic state that seeks closer ties with the West. Atomic Blackmail? identifies a little appreciated threat – that of damage to one or more of Ukraine’s nuclear power stations that could release a deadly radioactive cloud across Ukraine and much of Europe. As with the Chernobyl disaster, a nuclear mis-step in Ukraine would affect us all. The book highlights that in time of war, nuclear power stations present a belligerent a tempting target. As nuclear power stations multiply, so does the risk of atomic blackmail. Atomic Blackmail? should be required reading for academics and students of risk, lawmakers, civil servants, nuclear planners and the nuclear industry.

INTERPROFESSIONAL AND INTRAPROFESSIONAL TEAMWORK AND HANDOVERS IN HEALTHCARE : OUT NOW ...
Interprofessional practice is a well-known topic for all public and private health professionals, but there has been limited research on social network analysis in determining the actual configuration of professional networks and their impact on teamwork and patient care. The book's authors propose novel insiders' views about collaborative practice as 'experts' of the sector, with plenty of applications that can attract healthcare professionals and policymakers aiming to improve integrated care based on Evidence-Based Practice and Practice-Based Evidence.

CHILD'S EYE SUCCESS!
Kathleen Rogers’ Autumn’s Turn, illustrated by Octavian Fitzherbert, is runner up in the Children’s/Juvenile Early Readers/Chapter Books (Fiction) category of the 2023 Indie Book Awards. The Next Generation Indie Book Awards- now in its 16th year - is the largest international book awards programme for independent publishers. The awards are judged by leaders of the indie book publishing industry and aim to identify books deserving a wider audience.
Autumn’s Turn is a story about the seasons. Each has its own personality and its own special beauty. Even the harshest season has an important role to play in the natural year - but Autumn refuses to step aside for her sister, Winter, when it’s her turn, with disastrous consequences. Sadly, Kathleen died shortly after the book’s publication in 2022. This award is recognition of her talent as a children’s author and storyteller.

PRAISE FOR BOOK OF BOOKS
I wanted to let you know how much I have enjoyed watching the video. The collection comes alive in the video's combination of excellent photographs and the compelling narrative provided in the voiceover. So much information about connections between Western and Eastern traditions of thought is conveyed in such an entertaining way, and each slide gives a glimpse of a new way in which those connections have been and can be explored. I like the background music, too--it supports the story in an unobtrusive yet effective way. Great work all around! - Elizabeth Witherell, Editor-in-Chief, The Writings of Henry D. Thoreau

NEXT GENERATION INDIE BOOKS AWARDS 2022
PAUL JERVIS : 1943-2022
It is with sadness that we at Libri bring news of the death of a founding Director.
Paul decided to stand down as Managing Director in 2018, after eight years with Libri. During his time with us he had a significant influence on the academic and professional publications that became the company's stock in trade. A number of returning authors still refer to Paul as their point of contact, and his legacy lives on at Libri Publishing.
Importantly, Paul was more than a publisher. Business meetings would often include a discussion on photography, travel (especially to the Isle of Mull), politics and his family.
Paul was not only a work colleague but a personal friend to many of us. I worked with Paul at Middlesex University and in 2010 he helped to establish Libri Publishing.
We send the family our sympathy and thank his wife Trish for being supportive of his contribution to the company.
- John Sivak, Managing Director
