Jill Marshall Books
Jill Marshall is the author of the popular middle-grade series about Sensational Spylet, Jane Blonde, and many other titles and series for tweens, teens, YA and adult. Jill’s books have been published by Macmillan Children’s Books, Penguin and Hachette, in 22 countries, 11 languages and paperback, ebook and audio formats. Jane Blonde has been optioned for film and TV, with significant film interest in other Jill Marshall titles. Jill has also been an editor and manuscript assessor for trade publishers and societies, a creative writing teacher for over 1000 clients, and works in corporate communications. During lockdown in 2020, and with all rights for all titles successfully re-acquired, Marshall fulfilled two long-term ambitions. The first – to create an independent publishing house of her own titles, rebranded and re-imagined for a digital world. The second – to pull together Jane Blonde and three other ‘superhero’ characters, all with their own origin series, into an ensemble series, S*W*A*G*G (swaggbooks.com). The third ambition was one that she couldn’t have foreseen: the wish to provide quality fiction for tween readers and upwards, in readily accessible digital formats and for free, in a world ravaged by a global pandemic. In May 2020, Jill Marshall Books was born, and all three ambitions met. JMB has gathered momentum and fandom during those months, and it’s now time to partner with like-minded book people – innovative, passionate, caring – to extend the reach of JMB titles across formats, locations and media. Welcome to Jill Marshall Books. We look forward to connecting at Frankfurt 2020.

Medical microbiology & virologyJune 2010Helicobacter pylori in the 21st Century
by Steffen Backert, Stefan Bereswill, Tom Blanchard, Pelayo Correa, Richard Ferrero, Kwong-Ming Fock, Sara Lindén, Hoda Malaty, Barry Marshall, Francis Megraud, Anthony P Moran, John Nedrud, Karen Robinson, Maria Kaparakis. Edited by Philip Sutton, Hazel Mitchell.
Helicobacter pylori is a globally significant pathogen that infects half of the population of the world. Its recognition enabled the development of new therapeutic and preventative strategies for serious health conditions such as gastric cancer, of which it is the major causative agent. Providing a broad overview of the current understanding of this pathogen and emphasising its world health impacts, this book explores a range of topics including virulence factors, vaccine development and obstacles, epidemiology, antibiotic resistance and the role of Nod receptors, with a foreword by Barry Marshall, the Nobel Laureate and co-discoverer of H. pylori. It is an essential resource for researchers, students and medics in infectious and Helicobacter-associated diseases.

La communauté juive de Cuba
by Dr. Jay Levinson
La communauté juive de Cuba : Les Années d'Or, 1906-1958 par le Dr. Jay Levinson En 1906, Manuel Hadida convoqua une réunion de onze juifs dans son bureau. Un membre de sa famille venait de mourir, et le but de la réunion était de fonder une synagogue et un cimetière juif pour les quelques cent « colons hébreux » de Cuba. Lors d'une autre réunion qui suivit peu de temps après, des responsables furent élus, mais pendant l'automne de le même année 1906, le trésorier nouvellement élu mourut à son tour. Ce furent les débuts de la communauté juive de Cuba, qui devait éventuellement atteindre le nombre de plus de 15 000 membres à son zénith pendant les années 1940 et 1950. Cette étude, première du genre et complète, retrace l'histoire de cette communauté, reconstituant de nombreux événements longtemps oubliés. Le premier rabbin sur l'île serait venu de Floride, où il aurait été le propriétaire d'une fabrique de crème glacée, et se serait rendu à Santiago de Cuba et à La Havane. Au cours de la Deuxième Guerre Mondiale, un abattoir de viande cachère aurait fonctionné à Cuba pour les soldats de la U.S. Army. Meyer Lansky, connu pour ses activités clandestines, a présenté une application pour devenir membre d'une synagogue de La Havane. Le livre permet aussi de mieux comprendre certains points d'histoire mieux connus. Le refus du gouvernement de Cuba d'autoriser le paquebot St. Louis à laisser débarquer ses passagers est examiné avec une vision de la fuite des juifs de l'Europe nazie, particulièrement en direction du Mandat de Palestine, où la politique d'immigration des britannique était en train de changer (ce qu'ignoraient les cubains). La construction de nouvelles synagogues à la veille de la Révolution est considérée dans le contexte des nouveaux riches et de la migration vers les banlieues. Jay Levinson, un fonctionnaire civil en retraite et écrivain indépendant, a publié un grand nombre de livres et d'articles à propos de ses nombreux voyages dans plus de 50 pays. Il écrit beaucoup à propos des sites juifs et de histoire de ce peuple. Levinson a un doctorat de l'Université de New York et il est actuellement professeur invite au John Jay College. Pour écrire ses livres, le Dr. Levinson interroge un grand nombre de gens, consulte des documents dans les archives, examine les journaux de l'époque correspondante, visite les sites, et il a parcouru les cimetières de Cuba à la recherche d'informations – même sur les pierres tombales. Une édition en anglais pour l'Amérique du Nord a été publiée en 2007.

Children's & YAA oficina do Cambeva (Cambeva's workshop)
by Lido Loschi
Cambeva's workshop is the first of four books of the collection "Presente de Vô" in partnership with Grupo Ponto de Partida. The book is a mixture of colours and elements that highlight the memory of the world, in which seekers of memories have the mission of bringing light and life to objects found in the travels of two characters: Zalém and Calunga. Cambeva is a restorer who, when the world lost its embrace, tried to reinvent it; he is the grandfather who mends dreams, forgotten things and lost emotions, to whom the seekers ask for help to fix something. In a magical universe, full of children, grandchildren, stories and memories of his lineage of restorers, when faced with this request for restoration, he makes room to bring back an emblematic figure who can no longer sing. A story about memories, care and affection...

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017Child, nation, race and empire
Child rescue discourse, England, Canada and Australia, 1850–1915
by Margot Hillel, Shurlee Swain, Andrew Thompson, John M. MacKenzie
Child, nation, race and empire is an innovative, inter-disciplinary, cross cultural study that contributes to understandings of both contemporary child welfare practices and the complex dynamics of empire. It analyses the construction and transmission of nineteenth-century British child rescue ideology. Locating the origins of contemporary practice in the publications of the prominent English Child rescuers, Dr Barnardo, Thomas Bowman Stephenson, Benjamin Waugh, Edward de Montjoie Rudolf and their colonial disciples and literature written for children, it shows how the vulnerable body of the child at risk came to be reconstituted as central to the survival of nation, race and empire. Yet, as the shocking testimony before the many official enquiries into the past treatment of children in out-of-home 'care' held in Britain, Ireland, Australia and Canada make clear, there was no guarantee that the rescued child would be protected from further harm.
