Fiori bianchi, fiori rossi: un bouquet di indizi e di inganni recapitato senza mittente segna l'inizio di un nuovo mistero... niente paura, sta per arrivare Enola Holmes. Quando il dottor Watson svanisce senza lasciare alcuna traccia, Enola Holmes, che ancora si nasconde dai fratelli, crede che sia una messinscena orchestrata da Sherlock e Mycroft per farla uscire allo scoperto. Enola sa che pur di ritrovarla, rinchiuderla in collegio e non averla più tra i piedi, Sherlock saprebbe usare perfino il proprio migliore amico come esca. Per questo Enola è più determinata che mai a non farsi coinvolgere. Almeno fino a quando in casa Watson non viene recapitato un bouquet composto unicamente da fiori che simboleggiano... la morte. Fiori bianchi, fiori rossi. Il mittente è anonimo, il messaggio è chiaro. Il dottor John Watson è in pericolo. E forse è già troppo tardi... Questa volta non c'è spazio per i litigi dei fratelli Holmes: se vogliono salvare il braccio destro di Sherlock, devono trovare il modo di collaborare e dar retta all'investigatrice più furba della famiglia. Tra nuove identità e messaggi in codice, continuano le avventure di Enola, un'eroina intelligente e caparbia, capace di farla sotto il naso dello stesso Sherlock Holmes.

Sfuggire al detective più brillante del mondo sembrerebbe un'impresa persa in partenza: nessuno ha abbastanza arguzia per superare Sherlock Holmes... Nessuno tranne sua sorella Enola. Che infatti non ha la minima intenzione di farsi rinchiudere in casa per diventare una signorina a modo, come vorrebbero Sherlock e Mycroft. Del resto, Enola se la cava benissimo da sola. E adesso che ha iniziato a lavorare presso lo studio del dottor Ragostin, illustre detective di Londra, sa di aver trovato la sua strada. È proprio qui che per la prima volta sente parlare di lady Cecily. Bellissima e corteggiatissima giovane che dal giorno alla notte svanisce misteriosamente nel nulla. Che si tratti di fuga d'amore? O peggio... di omicidio? Le tracce sono indecifrabili, le strade di Londra insicure, Scotland Yard brancola nel buio. Enola però non si perde d'animo: è pronta a prendere in mano le indagini e infrangere tutte le regole, pur di risolvere il caso. Sempre che questo non la trasformi nella prossima vittima... Tra incredibili travestimenti e fughe rocambolesche, continuano le avventure di Enola, un'eroina intelligente e caparbia, capace di farla sotto il naso dello stesso Sherlock Holmes. Età di lettura: da 12 anni.

Concise and user-friendly, this college-level text assumes only a knowledge of basic calculus in its elementary and gradual development of tensor theory. The introductory approach bridges the gap between mere manipulation and a genuine understanding of an important aspect of both pure and applied mathematics.Beginning with a consideration of coordinate transformations and mappings, the treatment examines loci in three-space, transformation of coordinates in space and differentiation, tensor algebra and analysis, and vector analysis and algebra. Additional topics include differentiation of vectors and tensors, scalar and vector fields, and integration of vectors. The concluding chapter employs tensor theory to develop the differential equations of geodesics on a surface in several different ways to illustrate further differential geometry.

Enola Holmes is the much younger sister of her more famous brothers, Sherlock and Mycroft. But she has all the wits, skills, and sleuthing inclinations of them both. At fifteen, she's an independent young woman and living on her own in London. When a young professional woman, Miss Letitia Glover, shows up on Sherlock's doorstep, desperate to learn more about the fate of her twin sister, it is Enola who steps up. It seems her sister, the former Felicity Glover, married the Earl of Dunhench and per a curt note from the Earl, has died. But Letitia Glover is convinced this isn't the truth, that she'd know, she'd feel, if her twin had died. The Earl's note is suspiciously vague and the death certificate is even more dubious, signed it seems by a John H. Watson, M.D. (who denies any knowledge of such). The only way forward is for Enola to go undercover, or so Enola decides at the vehement objection of her brother. And she soon finds out that this is not the first of the Earl's wives to die suddenly and vaguely.
