The Seven Daughters of Dupree
From the two-time Emmy Award–winning producer and host of the Black and Published podcast comes a sweeping multi-generational epic following seven generations of Dupree women as they navigate love, loss, and the unyielding ties of family in the tradition of Homegoing and The Love Songs of W.E.B. DuBois.

What Price Freedom?
Samuel Bass is fighting for his country, for himself, for forbidden love and for African Americans held in bondage. Leaving his wife and children, Samuel joins General Washington's newly formed Continental Army. Fighting at the battle of Germantown, he is badly wounded. Lieutenant Colonel John Laurens, aide-de-camp to General Washington, rescues him from death and takes him to the home of a Quaker family in nearby Philadelphia to recover. Here he falls in love with the young woman slave assigned to care for him. Thus begins a tumultuous and, at times, dangerous journey into inner conflict, divided loyalties and a personal mission to provide equal education for everyone, regardless of their colour. In this sweeping narrative, the author skillfully gives an imaginative portrayal of one man’s life set against the background of American War for Independence but which, at the current time of global tension, addresses issues and conflicts that still resound today, such as the struggle for power and the destructive influence of widespread racial prejudice.

Jews and the Italian Left
Alessandra Tarquini, an expert in Italian Fascism, untangles the complicated relationship between the Italian Left and Jews since the late nineteenth century. Due largely to indifference, and sometimes to antisemitism, Italian leftists consistently overlooked Jews in their visions for a collectivist future. Yet, from the birth of the Socialist Party in 1892 until 1992, when the heirs of the Marxist tradition dispersed or set out on a new path, questions continually arose in revolutionary efforts to remake the Italian state: Should Jews be seen as oppressed, and therefore welcome to participate in the struggle that would lead to the advent of a new civilization? Or might they hinder the realization of socialism because of their attachment to a religious identity? Tarquini’s research fills an important lacuna by analyzing the antisemitism of twentieth-century socialist movements. Crucially, however, Tarquini makes important distinctions between antisemitism on the Italian Left and Right, and identifies the relationship between leftism and antisemitism as a distinct formation.

Creating Games with a Purpose
Develop educational games for physical education classes. Games are vital to student learning in the elementary physical education classroom, but not all games are rooted in appropriate practices and help educators meet standards. Creating Games With a Purpose: A Framework for PreK-5 Physical Educators With HKPropel Access provides preK-5 physical educators with step-by-step guidance to design games with contextually specific, culturally rich, and student-centered lessons to fulfill educational purposes. Educators will explore the framework created by the authors to build games intended to match the motor skills of diverse groups of children and meet their social and emotional needs. Using this framework, the text walks PE teachers through the steps of developing games, from the initial conception of an idea to assessing and modifying games. Pedagogical strategies such as differentiation, guided questioning, and contextual considerations further support appropriate educational practices. The authors present over 35 ready-to-use lesson plans aligned with Grade-Span Learning Indicators from the SHAPE America National Physical Education Standards. Many of these lesson plans offer opportunities for collaboration with other disciplines. The book is broken into three sections. Part I focuses on the role of play in the lives of humans, both past and present. Nurturing creativity within play opportunities and understanding how the delivery of games affects learning outcomes are explored. Part II introduces the Physical Education Creative Framework (PE-CF) and guides educators through ready-to-use sample games for use in preK to grade 5. In part III educators get to practice designing games with guided questions that incorporate the National Physical Education Standards and the PE-CF. Pedagogical aids throughout the text include chapter objectives, boxes, sidebars, and visual elements such as charts, graphs, and diagrams of games. Related online materials for the games in chapters 3 through 8 are delivered via HKPropel. The games are presented so that the teacher can transfer the information into the lesson plan format they find useful. Suggested teaching styles, how to introduce the game, ways to expand or deepen student learning outcomes, and contextual considerations to keep in mind are included in the game descriptions, and there are task cards, posters, exit slips, and game materials that can be printed for the reader's use. Nine videos show teachers guiding students through some of the games in the book. Creating Games With a Purpose gives physical educators a framework to construct games that challenge and inspire elementary students to make choices, solve problems, take on leadership, and gain knowledge—all through play. Note: A code for accessing HKPropel is included with all new print books.

Cameo
''A writer living and thinking his way to the frontiers of human society'' SpectatorCameo is the life story of invented Irish novelist Ren Duka, who has unexpected, runaway international success with a prolific series of autofictional novels. What begins as a playful satire on literary ambition and the chaos of our times expands into a dazzling, polyphonic odyssey that challenges the border between fiction and reality. As the Ren Duka novels race outwards in widening circles of influence, we encounter Dina Tatangelo, cult novelist of the New York underworld; a Japanese manga artist whose work eerily affects his family life; a grizzled Dublin taxi driver who just might ferry his passengers between worlds; a film-star facing public disgrace; and Rob Doyle, an author enduring a psychic and ontological crisis.Cameo is at once a metaphysical architecture of the imagination, a human comedy full of unruly passions, and a self-portrait across multiple dimensions.

The Island Between Us
Two lives bound by love and sacrifice, across decades, across an island, across time itself. Carissa thought she had escaped her past when she fled Edinburgh for the sunlit island of Skiathos. But her peace is shattered when her former partner finds her, determined to drag her back into his control. Her only strength lies in the friendships she forges with Thomas, a WWII veteran who carries the burden of betrayal and loss, and with Demitris, who offers the love she desperately needs. As Thomas recounts his wartime mission, where danger, loyalty, and love collided, Carissa finds the courage to stand against the shadows threatening her own life. A gripping dual-timeline novel of love and survival, The Island Between Us will appeal to readers of Kristin Hannah and Victoria Hislop. A standalone in The Hellenic Collection, it is perfect for fans of sweeping historical stories, emotional journeys, and the enduring power of love. ________________________________Praise for The Hellenic Collection:? I love books relating to World War II, enabling me to understand and learn about the struggles, sufferings and bravery of people during that time. ? I have visited beautiful Skiathos, so the vivid descriptions took me back there - the smells, the sounds, the delicious food and stunning views. The author’s affection for Greece, clearly shines through. ? The Island Between Us is another page turner from Dougie. He weaves storylines in a gripping but gentle way so the story takes a pleasing pace. He writes with deep understanding and insight into the human condition and emotions, and the characters feel so real to the reader. ? I was so upset when this book ended, that I found myself reading it again, and again. A combination of historical Greece during WWII and modern day angst…? Dougie’s description of Skiathos was perfect and I could just imagine myself sat with Tom listening to his time in the Second World War. It was so emotional.
