"Johnny Kellock verschwand am 1. August 1959. Zumindest war das der Tag nach dem Tag, an dem ihn noch jemand gesehen hatte. (...) Puff. Zack. Weg. Keiner wusste genau, was Johnny zu diesem Schritt bewegt hatte. Es war, als würde man an einem Wollfaden ziehen, immer weiter und weiter, bis der ganze Pullover aufgetrennt ist und man ein wirres Knäuel vor den Füßen liegen hat, und dann kommt jemand auf die glorreiche Idee und sagt, man soll das Ende finden, mit dem man begonnen hat. Aber wie Mama ganz richtig sagt, jeder sollte bei seiner Geschichte bleiben. Meine beginnt, als Johnny schon verschwunden war."
Es ist ein heißer Sommer in Halifax im Jahr 1959 und die 12-jährige Rosalie hat ein Geheimnis, das ihr auf der Seele liegt: Es ist allein ihre Schuld, dass ihre Mutter gestürzt ist und sich den Knöchel gebrochen hat. Um auszuhelfen heuert Rosalies Vater den Nachbarsjungen David an, den Totengräber, wie er von den anderen Kindern immer nur genannt wird. Aber dann verschwindet Rosalies 17-jähriger Cousin Johnny, und der Sturz der Mutter ist auf einmal nicht mehr so wichtig. Gemeinsam mit David, mit dem sie sich langsam anfreundet, versucht Rosalie das Verschwinden von Johnny aufzuklären. Und erfährt dabei, welche Geheimnisse und wie viel Liebe ihre Familie zusammenhalten
Den saudiarabiske prinsesse Sultana er gift med den yderst velhavende prins Kareem, og hun lever luksuriøst i deres overdådige palads omgivet af tjenestefolk. Men skjult bag paladsets mure og sit slør, drømmer Sultana om et helt andet liv, et liv med frihed til at have sine egne meninger og udrette noget.
Det elitære og indflydelsesrige miljø, som prinsesse Sultana tilhører, skinner nok på overfladen, men har i virkeligheden en grim bagside. Sultana kan berette om alt fra tvangsægteskaber til stofmisbrug og pædofili, for i magtens og pengenes epicenter lurer barbariet bag hvert hjørne. Parallelt med Sultanas voksende afsmag for sin egen verden, vokser modstanden mod den royale familie også udenfor paladset, og i befolkningen begynder en islamisk fundamentalisme at ulme.
Prinsesse "Sultana" er en virkelig person. Hun er en del af den saudiske kongefamilie og nært beslægtet med kongen. Gennem sin amerikanske veninde, forfatteren Jean Sasson, fortæller hun anonymt den grusomme sandhed om sit liv bag sløret. "Prinsesse Sultanas kamp" er nummer tre i serien af prinsesse-bøger fra Jean Sassons pen. Den kan læses i forlængelse af de to første eller selvstændigt. -

Culture is increasingly important to American social science, but in what way? This book addresses the core issues of the sociology of culture-questions about the social role of meaning, along with those about the methods sociologists use to study culture and society-in a manner that makes clear their relevance to sociology as a whole. Part I consists of essays by leading cultural sociologists on how the turn to culture has changed the sociological study of organizations, economic action, and television, and concludes with Georgina Born's methodological statement on the sociology of art and cultural production. Part II contains a highly original, and at times heated, debate between Richard Biernacki and John H. Evans on the appropriateness of abstract and quantifiable coding schemes for the sociological study of culture. Ranging from the philosophy of science to the concrete, practical problems of interpreting masses of cultural data, the debate raises the controversy over the interpretation of culture and the explanation of social action to a new level of sophistication.
Ein Auszug aus "SAMURAI, BAND 7: DER RING DES WINDES" von Chris Bradford:
Der ohrenbetäubende Kanonendonner verklang zu einem gedämpften Rumpeln, die Lichtstrahlen, die unter der Wasseroberfläche spielten, verloren sich. Jack kam auf dem Grund auf und seine Finger fuhren durch den Sand, der sich anfühlte wie Seide. Seine Lungen brannten vor Sauerstoffmangel und er war einer Ohnmacht nahe. Helle Pünktchen flimmerten vor seinen Augen. Eine erhabene Stille hüllte ihn ein. Er trieb durch die verborgene Unterwasserwelt, stieg auf ... und brach durch die Wasseroberfläche. Erneut drangen Licht und Lärm auf ihn ein und er hörte aus allen Richtungen Rufe, Geschrei, Kanonenfeuer und das Rauschen der Wellen. Trümmerteile, Taue und gesplitterte Balken schwammen an ihm vorbei. Gierig schnappte er nach Luft und atmete ein paar Mal tief durch. Er lebte. Zwar tat ihm alles weh, aber er lebte.
Schon sein ganzes Leben lang wird Bergmann Ivan Pritchard vom Pech verfolgt. Um seiner Familie endlich ein komfortableres Leben zu ermöglichen, möchte er sein Glück nun mit Asteroiden versuchen und heuert auf der "Mad Astra" an. Doch der Neue auf dem Schiff zu sein, ist gar nicht so einfach: Die Crew schikaniert ihn, und gewöhnt man sich eigentlich jemals an diese Schwerelosigkeit? Als sich aus den Tiefen des Alls eine dunkle Bedrohung nähert, die die Erde auszulöschen könnte, beschließt Ivan, sein Schicksal endlich selbst in die Hand zu nehmen ...
The combination of Fresh Expressions and the explosion of interest in monastic spirituality is resulting in the emergence of new monastic communities inspired by historic patterns of religious life, but reframed for the contemporary world. This worldwide movement is seen as a radical expression of ecclesial community and was named in Mission Shaped Church as one of the leading new forms of church that would help people reconnect with Christianity.
A new monastic community may be a dispersed group of families and individuals meeting to share meals and worship, it might be a group connected virtually; it might be a youth group exploring monastic spirituality. In this book, leaders of traditional religious communities and emerging 'new monastic' communities tell their stories and reflect on how an ancient expression of being church is inspiring and shaping a very new one.
Included are many well-known contributors: Graham Cray, Tom Sine, Shane Claiborne, Ray Simpson, Abbot Stuart Burns and others exploring intentional living in the UK and the US.

Oxford Literacy has been specifically designed to support guided reading in the first three years of school. The Oxford Literacy fiction and non-fiction guided reading texts recognise that a guided reading group in a `real' classroom never has every student on the same level; therefore, the texts and supporting teaching versions allow educators to work with small groups of students across a range of levels within their stage of reading. Because Oxford Literacy is a guided reading program, a single title has limited use in a classroom; therefore, it is recommended that educators use multiple copies of a title in guided reading groups to achieve maximum benefit from Oxford Literacy. Each Oxford Literacy text includes information on the following: * Stage of the reader * Text level * Word count * Text type * Theme * Oxford Wordlist high frequency words * Key visual communicators * Purpose of the visuals For more information about the Oxford Wordlist, go to www.oup.com.au/thesuccessfulteacher or www.oxfordwordlist.com.

'A brilliant, funny and thought-provoking book' - Jonn Elledge 'Compelling, provocative, and utterly brilliant' - Dr Estelle Paranque
How the monarchs of England and Scotland met their deaths has been a wonderful mixture of violence, infections, overindulgence and occasional regicide. In Mortal Monarchs, medical historian Dr Suzie Edge examines 1,000 years of royal deaths to uncover the plots, accusations, rivalries, and ever-present threat of poison that the kings and queens of old faced.
From the "bloody" fascinating story behind Oliver Cromwell's demise and the subsequent treatment of his corpse and whether the arrow William II caught in the chest was an accident or murder, to Henry IV's remarkable skin condition and the red-hot poker up Edward II's rear end, Mortal Monarchs captivates, grosses-out and informs.
In school many of us learned the dates they died and who followed them, but sadly never heard the varied - and oft-gruesome - way our monarchs met their maker. Featuring original medical research, this history forms a rich record not just of how these people died, but how we thought about and treated the human body, in life and in death.

The discipline of school psychology has been shaped over the course of its existence by a series of professional and scientific controversies, and by how researchers and practitioners have responded to those controversies. Should there be an entry-level degree requirement for school psychologists? What should a school psychologist's role be with regard to student mental health? Should school psychologists work outside of school settings?
Designed for students entering school psychology training programs, Introduction to School Psychology: Controversies and Current Practice examines the debates that have influenced the nature and scope of the profession, and that continue to do so today. This edited textbook is divided into five sections, the first of which describes current practices. The second offers coverage of ethics and relevant legal concerns for school psychologists; cultural competence; and consultation. The third section provides readers with the theoretical foundations of practice and includes a brief chapter on theoretical orientations. The fourth and largest section of the book examines the controversies that shape practice, presenting chapters on idiographic and nomothetic approaches; diagnostic frameworks; assessment and treatment of behavioral disorders; and much more. The final section of the book focuses on contexts and the future of the profession, with chapters on practice in urban and rural communities, technology, and the Futures Conferences.

The sequel to the international bestseller The Go-Giver, applying its inspirational approach to real-world challenges. The Go-Giver took the business world by storm with its message that giving is the simplest, most fulfilling, and most effective path to success. It has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers; but some have wondered how the story's lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday, real-world business. Bob Burg and John David Mann answer that question in Go-Givers Sell More, a practical guide that turns giving into the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling. Most of us think of sales as a struggle to make people do something they don't really want to do. But that cut-throat mentality makes the process much harder than it has to be - especially in an economic downturn when customers are more suspicious and defensive than ever. It's far more effective (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers and focus on creating value for the customer. Cultivate a trusting relationship and provide outstanding service, and great results will follow automatically. Illustrating their points with a wide range of real-life examples, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.

Humour, Gender, Sexuality, Sensuality, Identity, Racism, and Cultural Difference. When do any of these things ever come together to equal poetry? When Jackie Kay's part of the equation. "Darling" brings together into a vibrant new book many favourite poems from her four Bloodaxe collections, "The Adoption Papers", "Other Lovers", "Off Colour" and "Life Mask", as well as featuring new work, some previously uncollected poems, and some lively poetry for younger readers. Kay's poems draw on her own life and the lives of others to make a tapestry of voice and communal understanding. The title of her acclaimed short story collection, "Why Don't You Stop Talking", could be a comment on her own poems, their urgency of voice and their recognition of the urgency in all voice, particularly the need to be heard, to have voice. And what voice - the voices of the everyday, the voices of jazz, the voices of this many-voiced United Kingdom.
