While there are many introductions to disability and disability
studies, most presume an advanced academic knowledge of a range of
subjects. Beginning with Disability is the first introductory
primer for disaibility studies aimed at first year students in two-
and four-year colleges. This volume of essays across
disciplines-including education, sociology, communications,
psychology, social sciences, and humanities-features accessible,
readable, and relatively short chapters that do not require
specialized knowledge. Lennard Davis, along with a team of
consulting editors, has compiled a number of blogs, vlogs, and
other videos to make the materials more relatable and vivid to
students. "Subject to Debate" boxes spotlight short pro and con
pieces on controversial subjects that can be debated in class or
act as prompts for assignments.

hand of American illustrator Jarom Vogel!

Every Sunday people walk into your church and decide if they will
return the following week before the preacher even opens his mouth.
Many of those people don't know what to make of Jesus. They're
hesitant to be in church. They're not sure they belong. But over
and over in the pages of scripture, we see something extraordinary.
People who were nothing like Jesus liked Jesus. Shouldn't that be
true of the church as well? In Going Deep & Wide, Andy Stanley
lays out a blueprint and offers practical steps to help you turn up
the irresistible in your church. Each section includes discussion
materials that walk you deeper into the content of Deep & Wide
and invites conversations about how to apply what you've learned.
Britain is at war. Returned from a dangerous mission onto enemy
soil and having encountered an old enemy and the Fuhrer himself
along the way, Maisie Dobbs is fully aware of the gravity of the
current situation and how her world is on the cusp of great change.
One of those changes can be seen in the floods of refugees that are
arriving in Britain, desperate for sanctuary from the approaching
storm of war. When Maisie stumbles on the deaths of refugees who
may have been more than ordinary people, she is drawn into an
investigation that requires all her insight and strength.
Inspiration for the major motion picture 6 Days, starring Jamie
Bell as Rusty Firmin Go! Go! Go! tells the action-packed story of
the 1980 Iranian Embassy siege. It is a comprehensive and gripping
account of an unforgettable six-day drama that shook Britain - and
the wider world - to the core. Drawing on original and unseen
source material from ex-SAS soldier Rusty Firmin, the police and
the British Government, Go! Go! Go! takes us to the heart of the
whole operation. The assault planning and training, strategy and
tactics are described in detail, and the personal stories of the
gunmen revealed - who they were, where they came from, why they did
it and Saddam Hussein's direct involvement. Compelling accounts of
each day of the siege from the hostages' points of view show how
they dealt with captivity individually and collectively. And new
material explains the negotiators' tactics and their cool exterior
versus their internal turmoil as negotiations reached crisis point.

This is the untold story of how some of Germany's top aristocrats
contributed to Hitler's secret diplomacy during the Third Reich,
providing a direct line to their influential contacts and relations
across Europe - especially in Britain, where their contacts
included the press baron and Daily Mail owner Lord Rothermere and
the future King Edward VIII. Using previously unexplored sources
from Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, and the
USA, Karina Urbach unravels the story of top-level go-betweens such
as the Duke of Coburg, grandson of Queen Victoria, and the
seductive Stephanie von Hohenlohe, who rose from a life of poverty
in Vienna to become a princess and an intimate of Adolf Hitler. As
Urbach shows, Coburg and other senior aristocrats were tasked with
some of Germany's most secret foreign policy missions from the
First World War onwards, culminating in their role as Hitler's
trusted go-betweens, as he readied Germany for conflict during the
1930s - and later, in the Second World War. Tracing what became of
these high-level go-betweens in the years after the Nazi collapse
in 1945 - from prominent media careers to sunny retirements in
Marbella - the book concludes with an assessment of their overall
significance in the foreign policy of the Third Reich.
