Madigan Purdy is stuck in her home town library. When tens of thousands of owls descend on the building, rending and tearing at anyone foolish enough to step outside, Mad is tasked with keeping her students safe, and distracted, while they seek a solution to their dilemma.

With food and fresh water in low supply, the denizens of the library will have to find a way out, and soon, but the owls don’t seem to be in a hurry to leave…The Parliament is a story of grief and missed opportunities, but also of courage and hope. And of extremely sharp beaks.

Should one first sit in the state parliament before entering the federal parliament?
There is no strict rule that one must first sit in the state parliament before entering the federal parliament. Many politicians have successfully transitioned from local or state politics to federal politics, while others have entered federal politics directly. It ultimately depends on the individual's experience, qualifications, and ability to represent their constituents effectively at the federal level. However, serving in the state parliament can provide valuable experience and a deeper understanding of the political process, which can be beneficial for those aspiring to enter federal politics.

Historians and Parliament
The essays in this collection, a special issue of Parliamentary History published to mark the fortieth volume of the journal, examine the different ways in which historians have understood and interpreted the history of parliament since the mid 19th century.

What is a puppet parliament?
A puppet parliament is a legislative body that appears to have power and authority, but in reality, it is controlled by an outside force, such as a dictator, a foreign government, or a powerful individual or group. The members of the parliament may be elected, but their decisions and actions are ultimately dictated by the controlling force, and they serve to give the appearance of democracy while lacking true autonomy. This type of parliament is often used to give a facade of legitimacy to an authoritarian regime or to maintain control over a country without appearing to be directly involved in its governance.

How does the British Parliament work?
The British Parliament is a bicameral legislature consisting of two houses: the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The House of Commons is made up of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are elected by the public in general elections. The party with the most MPs usually forms the government, with its leader becoming the Prime Minister. The main functions of the House of Commons include making and passing laws, scrutinizing the government, and representing the interests of the public. The House of Lords is made up of appointed members, including life peers, bishops, and hereditary peers. The House of Lords acts as a revising chamber, scrutinizing and suggesting amendments to legislation proposed by the House of Commons. It also plays a role in reviewing and debating government policies. In order for a bill to become law, it must be approved by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords, and receive Royal Assent from the monarch. The British Parliament also holds debates, questions sessions, and committee meetings to discuss a wide range of issues and hold the government to account. Overall, the British Parliament operates on a system of checks and balances, with each house playing a distinct role in the legislative process and holding the government to account.
