Plurilingual Education in a Monolingualised Nation
This book explores alternative approaches to foreign language education in a context which is traditionally dominated by English-only approaches, and widely viewed as highly monolingual. It examines the grassroots classroom practices of teachers and their assistants involved in plurilingual education in the first longitudinal research of its type in the Japanese context. These practices are grounded in depictions of the practitioners’ personal and professional trajectories through explorations of their visual linguistic autobiographies. The holistic ethnography thus deepens understanding of plurilingualism in a hitherto underexplored context, and should be of interest to students and researchers of language teaching, teacher training, language policy, sociolinguistics and plurilingualism.
Model Actress Whatever
From the acclaimed critic and award-winning author of Anno Dracula comes a bitingly satirical story of superheroism, soap opera and alternative reality -- for readers of Austin Grossman?s Soon I Will Be Invincible and George R.R. Martin?s Wild Cards.When Chrissie Chambers (model actress whatever) discovers her soap opera character is about to be killed off, she finally stops dieting and discovers hitherto untapped supernatural abilities. Meanwhile, Chrissie?s aunt - former national heroine Lady Shade - goes missing. Afraid for Jasmine?s safety and itching to costume-up, Chrissie and her ghost-possessed best friend Loulee break into Devil?s Dyke, the asylum where Jasmine works as a therapist with the most dangerous cutthroats (supervillains) in Britain… only to find the inmates have taken over… Chrissie debuts successfully as a cloak (superheroine), but who will become the arch-nemesis of Lady Shade II?In Chrissie?s timeline, the Beatles didn?t split up and recorded a hallucinodelic album in 1972 ? Never Mind (strictly, Never Mind the Beatles) ? which literally changed the world. Set in an alternative 2020s London, this hugely entertaining, darkly humorous superhero tale is packed with Newman?s trademark wit, and comes with wickedly sharp edges.

Live Your Promise
A transformational guide that blends psychology, life coaching, and spiritual insight to help heal past wounds, navigate life’s toughest seasons, and manifest lasting success and inner peace. Drawing from a decade of experience working with elite clients—from celebrities and athletes to CEOs and pastors—Dr. Bryant reveals a universal truth: success doesn’t shield anyone from trauma, emptiness, or the mental toll of unhealed wounds. In fact, the higher you climb, the more that unresolved pain threatens to undo everything you’ve built. Her unique, psychology-integrated coaching method offers a powerful alternative to traditional therapy—fast, effective, and rooted in both science and spirit. Dr. Cheyenne Bryant shares her own remarkable journey—from a chaotic, love-filled upbringing in a multigenerational home to building a multimillion-dollar estate where her family now lives and thrives—and opens the gates to both her physical paradise and the spiritual and psychological path that got her there. Inspired by the biblical story of Moses, Live Your Promise reframes the challenging in-between moments of life as sacred territory for transformation. It's not the Promised Land, but the wilderness—where discomfort meets divine growth—that shapes who we become. With tools, strategies, and real-life insights, this book is your guide to navigating that wilderness with courage, clarity, and grace. Whether you're just starting out or already living your dream, Live Your Promise will help you sustain success, find lasting peace, and manifest the life you were meant to live.
Sister Sandra
Sister Sandra Smithson, a Black Franciscan nun from Tennessee, lived her extraordinary life on the forefront of change. A passionate educator, she was committed to working directly with disadvantaged students and strived to reform local and national education policy to better serve these children until her death in 2022 at age 96. Smithson first joined the School Sisters of St. Francis in 1954, one of the only orders of nuns who accepted African American women at the time, and made it her mission to challenge the status quo in her community and her church, even when it put her at great personal risk. In Sister Sandra by Theresa Laurence, Smithson's expansive life and legacy is recorded for the first time, from her educational ministry in South America, to cofounding a nonprofit in Middle Tennessee that served children and advocated for policy change in public education. Thoughtful, opinionated, and beholden only to God's will and her own conscience, Smithson often tread on the margins of society and the church, working throughout her long life to "bring good news to the poor" and raise her voice for the voiceless. She was an unforgettable real-life hero who followed God's call regardless of the power structures stacked against her as a Black woman. At its core, Sister Sandra provides a unique look at the life and work of an African American nun during times of tumultuous change in both the American and the global South. It weaves together an intimate personal narrative of Smithson's life while also documenting the Black Catholic history of Nashville, making this text a singular and essential resource on Catholic Church history in Tennessee, the South, and the US as a whole.
Lost in Ibiza
Ibiza. An island synonymous with celebrity DJs, superclubs and rowdy Ryanair flights. But to stop at the dancefloor is to miss the creative current that powered it in the first place.
For nearly a century, the island has served as a beacon for artistic minds. Before the beats came the Beatniks, hippies and free thinkers who claimed this rock as a refuge for the radical. DJ residencies might reign, but the pillars of the community stretch across creative lines, from culinary innovators and street artists to indie retailers and designers, all surrounded by stunning natural beauty.
LOST iN is your ticket to the real Ibiza where you’ll party with pop surrealists, sip cocktails in a cave, wear threads from a gypsy truck, swim in hidden sea coves and add your tag to the graffiti-bombed ruins of a former superclub. You’ll even step back in time with a ‘70s hippie archive and local legends that speak of Atlantis and a rock that beckons UFOs.
To the world, Ibiza is a party. To those in the know, Ibiza is a living legacy, and you can help write its next chapter. Be bold. Be curious. Get lost on the island that can’t be tamed.
Uncover the real Ibiza with local secrets, hidden beaches, urban art, secret hikes and a legacy of radical reinvention.
Mary Pain
Mary Pain s hit rock bottom with nothing left to lose but she s also absolutely free. Mary Pain might just be the patron saint of second chances. Unemployed and all out of options, she buys a one-way bus ticket to the dead-end town she grew up in. Time stands still there all the same people still telling the same old gossip she s been running from for ages. Back in her childhood home, she needs to find a way to save the house from foreclosure, care for her ailing grandfather, and make peace with her mother s ghost, whose telephone calls still come in on the old kitchen landline. With the odds stacked against her, Mary Pain doesn t let her mid-life rut keep her down: She picks up men for midnight trysts in the park, and remains open to deepening connections with childhood friends, new lovers, and precocious altar boys. Lola Lorente s slick black inkwork feels sophisticated and voluptuous, and her rendering of townsfolk and their customs is a sensorial delight. Her devoted attention to fabric textures, body shapes, and one-of-a-kind faces brings this cast of oddballs and weirdos, sometimes verging on the grotesque, fully to life. Translated from the Spanish by Andrea Rosenberg, Lorente s English debut is a sorrowful yet hopeful portrait of a young adult at a crossroads in life a quintessential loser looking for meaning and redemption in a town full of ghosts.

More Meditations of a Militant Moderate
The book collects almost thirty-five opinion pieces, essays, and two poems by the author on a wide variety of public policy topics written and published between 2006 and 2022. The author, a self-described “militant moderate,” draws on his participation in many public debates. The articles are grouped into six, topical groupings that range widely: the growing need for moderate voices in policy debates; the nature of American exceptionalism; the challenge of civic discourse; the depredations of the Trump’s first term; and policies concerning immigration, citizenship, and refugees.
How Not to Be Human
Current debates in the environmental humanities, animal studies, and related fields increasingly revolve around this question: What to do with “the human”? Is the human a category worth preserving? Should it be replaced with the post-human? Should marginalized and minoritarian groups advocate for a universal humanism? What is the relationship between humanism and anthropocentrism? Is a genuinely non-anthropocentric mode of thinking and living possible for human beings? This book argues that the writings of twentieth-century poet Robinson Jeffers offer twenty-first-century readers a number of crucial insights concerning such questions and timely advice about how not to be human. For Jeffers, our tendency to turn inward on ourselves and to indulge in human narcissism is at the heart of the social, economic, and existential ills that plague modern societies. As a remedy, Jeffers recommends turning ourselves outward—beyond the self and beyond the human—and learning to affirm and even love the inhuman cosmos in all of its terrible beauty. In the process, Jeffers helps us find our way back to ourselves, but this time no longer as “human” in the traditional sense but as plain members of the inhuman world.

Chováš se jak zvíře?
Když první vědci začali studovat chování zvířat, neodvažovali se u živočichů mluvit o přátelství. Jak však přibývalo výzkumů na zvířatech, vědecká komunita si uvědomila, že se od nás lidí zase tak moc neliší. Některé druhy zvířat také vytvářejí přátelství, která mohou trvat celý život. Zvířata spolu rádi tráví čas, pomáhají si, když to potřebují, a jsou smutní, když se jejich soukmenovcům stane něco zlého. Stejně jako my se starají o své blízké, protože i oni jsou schopni emocí.
Tato kniha představuje různé živočišné druhy, které jsou zajímavými příklady emočního života zvířat. Kniha se zabývá rodinným životem zvířat, péčí o mláďata, přátelstvím, jejich komunikací, vzájemným učením, pomáháním druhým, možností volby a schopností udělat vlastní rozhodnutí, mírumilovností a variabilitou.

Bronzová věž
TENHLE SEN BUDE VYKOUPENÝ KRVÍ NEVINNÝCH…
Mezi doutnajícími ruinami padlého impéria sílí šepot dávných mýtů o Krůpěji, poslední kapce padlého stvořitele, která slibuje neomezenou moc i poslední naději a která se ukrývá v bronzové věži ve vzdálené zemi za bezmezným Okeónem.
Redd, prospěchářský tulák a zlodějíček, má jen svůj plášť, omšelý meč – a spoustu vzpomínek na časy, které dávno minuly. V srdci si nese posedlost Krůpějí, kvůli které se hodlá vypravit za okraj Světa. A nemá problém obětovat cokoliv, aby dosáhl cíle, včetně vlastní duše.
Není však jediný, kdo po Krůpěji touží. V patách je mu jako stín tajuplný Maršál velící flotile zaokeónských fregat. A tyhle dva pojí víc než jen stejný cíl…
Ve Světě sílí frakce toužící využít Krůpěj ke znovunastolené pevné moci. Rozmáhají se staré hereze a ze stínů vylézají osudem prokletí Zářní… Jisté je jen jedno. Blíží se bouře apokalyptických rozměrů – a Redd ještě netuší, že bude stát přímo v jejím oku.
