Determination meets dance in this prizewinning and New York Times
bestselling memoir by the history-making ballerina Misty Copeland,
vividly recounting the story of her journey to become the first
African American female principal ballerina at the prestigious
American Ballet Theatre. When she first placed her hands on the
barre at an after-school community center, no one expected
thirteen-year-old Misty Copeland to become one of America's most
groundbreaking dancers. A true prodigy, she was attempting in
months roles that take most dancers years to master. But when Misty
became caught between the control and comfort she found in the
world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life, she had to
choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the
courage to be one of a kind. With an insider's passion, Misty opens
a window into the life of an artist who lives life center stage,
from behind the scenes at her first classes to her triumphant roles
in some of the world's most iconic ballets. A sensational memoir as
"sensitive" and "clear-eyed" (The Washington Post) as her dancing,
Life in Motion is a story of passion, identity, and grace for
anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.
From a young age many children express an interest in becoming a
vet. However, the classic representation of the profession no
longer fits with the realities of a modern veterinary career.
Children in the 8-12 age group are encouraged to think about career
options through dedicated syllabus programmes at Key Stages 2 and 3
and GCSE choices later on, but there is no veterinary career book
for this age group. To Vet School and Beyond is written in an
easy-to-read format, enabling the book to be a point of reference
right through from pre-GSCE to A level. Bold and interactive, with
plenty of illustrations and sub-sections, the book is a fresh and
modern perspective on the veterinary career. For children who are
curious about the veterinary world. This fun and approachable book
introduces, through profiles of real vets, the different sectors
beyond the familiar small animal/family vet practice in which
veterinarians can work, such as research, fish veterinary, zoo
medicine and charity work. It also provides some guidance in how to
study to get into veterinary school.
