British indie drama telling the story of the intense and
destructive relationship between two teenagers who first meet on a
suicide website. Obsessive-compulsive Nikko (Harry Treadaway) and
beautiful loose cannon Stevie (Emma Booth) embark on a
rollercoaster relationship that ultimately distances Nikko from his
life, his friends and his obsession with bird-spotting.
Druid Hill Park lies at the hears of Baltimore and made history as
one of the first public parks in America. This beautifully
illustrated history tells the story of Druid Hill from the
seventeenth century until today, and celebrates this natural refuge
for fun and relaxation in urban Baltimore.
Chronicling the period from the mid-nineteenth century to the early
1900s through striking vintage photographs, Growing Up in Baltimore
pays tribute to the enduring courage and spirit of children. In a
city that has been, at once, blessed with a rich port and torn
apart by war, filled with pristine parks and scarred by the ravages
of industrial life, childhood has reflected the ever-changing times
and culture in American life. From baseball games and trips to the
zoo to schoolyard pals and amusement park rides, children explored
the world around them. But the nostalgia and innocence of well-born
youth mingled with the harsher realities that many boys and girls
knew as their daily lives-laboring in the mills and factories, the
haphazard destruction of fires and storms, the segregation of
public places, the cold and hunger so keenly felt during the Great
Depression.
A DEBUT NOVEL-IN-VERSE ABOUT UNDERSTANDING AND CELEBRATING YOUR OWN
DIFFERENCE Selah knows her rules for being normal. This means
keeping her feelings locked tightly inside, despite the way they
build up inside her as each school day goes on, so that she has to
run to the bathroom and hide in the stall until she can calm down.
Selah feels like a dragon stuck in a world of humans, but she knows
how to hide it. Until the day she explodes and hits a fellow
student. As her comfortable, familiar world crumbles around her,
Selah starts to figure out more about who she is. She comes to
understand that different doesn't mean damaged. Can she get her
school to understand that, too, before it's too late?

Award at the André Simon Food and Drink Book Awards for 2018
Shortlisted for the James Beard International Cookbook Award ‘The
next best thing to actually travelling with Caroline Eden – a
warm, erudite and greedy guide – is to read her. This is my kind
of book.’ – Diana Henry ‘Eden’s blazing talent and
unabashedly greedy curiosity will have you strapped in beside
her’ - Christine Muhlke, The New York Times 'The food in Black
Sea is wonderful, but it’s Eden’s prose that really elevates
this book to the extraordinary... I can’t remember any cookbook
that’s drawn me in quite like this.’ – Helen Rosner, Art of
Eating judge This is the tale of a journey between three great
cities – Odesa, Ukraine’s celebrated port city, through
Istanbul, the fulcrum balancing Europe and Asia and on to tough,
stoic, lyrical Trabzon. With a nose for a good recipe and an ear
for an extraordinary story, Caroline Eden travels from Odesa to
Bessarabia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey’s Black Sea region,
exploring interconnecting culinary cultures. From the Jewish table
of Odesa, to meeting the last fisherwoman of Bulgaria and charting
the legacies of the White Russian émigrés in Istanbul, Caroline
gives readers a unique insight into a part of the world that is
both shaded by darkness and illuminated by light. In this updated
edition of the book, Caroline reflects on the events of the
full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine and the subsequent impact of
the war on the people of the wider region. How Odesa, defiant
against shelling and blackouts, has gained UNESCO protection while
in Istanbul, over lunch with a Bosphorus ship-spotter, she finds
out about the role of the Black Sea in the war and how Russians are
smuggling stolen grain from Ukraine. Meticulously researched and
documenting unprecedented meetings with remarkable individuals,
Black Sea is like no other piece of travel writing. Packed with
rich photography and sumptuous food, this biography of a region,
its people and its recipes truly breaks new ground.

It has long been apparent to academic library administrators that
the current technical services operations within libraries need to
be redirected and refocused in terms of both format priorities and
human resources. A number of developments and directions have made
this reorganization imperative, many of which have been accelerated
by the current economic crisis. All of the chapters detail some
aspect of technical services reorganization due to downsizing
and/or reallocation of human resources, retooling professional and
support staff in higher level duties and/or non-MARC metadata,
"value-added" metadata opportunities, outsourcing redundant
activities, and shifting resources from analog to digital object
organization and description. This book will assist both catalogers
and library administrators with concrete examples of moving
technical services operations and personnel from the analog to the
digital environment. This book was published as a special double
issue of Cataloging & Classification Quarterly.
This book, first published in 1920, is an analysis of socialist
trends and a synthesis of proletarian aims. It attempts to
establish the new political philosophy of left-wing socialists and
coins a new term, ‘ergatocracy’ to mean ‘workers’ rule’
and the abolishment of class in the organisation of society.

British film maker and artist Andrew Kötting directs this
documentary about his 23-year-old daughter, Eden. The footage
follows Eden, who was born with the rare genetic disorder Joubert
Syndrome, as she enjoys life in the family's Pyrenean farmhouse
undertaking activities such as painting and singing. The film is
accompanied by the black and white short 'Hoi-Polloi' (1990), an
early movie from Kötting which features his friends and family,
including Eden as a baby, while portraying life in the French
Pyrenees.
Economic Trends in Soviet Russia (1930) examines the economic
position of the USSR a decade after the Revolution. It displayed
the contradictions evident in an economy that had been isolated
from the world economy while undergoing great changes, and where
the government was taking control over all aspects of economic
life. Huge factories had been established, yet the countryside
remained pre-industrial; and while the economy was in theory
entirely under State control, in practice currency crises, crises
of production, gluts, crises of demand, pressed hard on one
another’s heels, and were renewed again and again by the
spontaneous play of economic forces.
Singin' in the Rain (1952)
Set in 1927, Don Lockwood (Kelly) has worked his way up from being a song-and-dance man with partner Cosmo Brown (Donald O'Connor) to become a top movie star. His on-screen partner, Lina Lamont (Jean Hagen), who believes that Don loves her for real, needs to have her awful singing voice dubbed with the arrival of
talkies. The girl selected is 'serious' actress Kathy Selden (Debbie Reynolds), for whom Don soon falls. Musical numbers include the famous title song, as well as 'Make 'Em Laugh', 'Good Morning' and 'You Were Meant for Me'.
An American in Paris (1951)
American G.I. Jerry Mulligan (Kelly) has remained in Paris after the war to become a painter. There he falls in love with Lise Bouvier (Leslie Caron), only to discover that she is engaged to his friend, Henri Baurel (Georges Guetary). With music and songs by George and Ira Gershwin, including 'I Got Rhythm' and 'Embraceable
You', the film went on to win six Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Anchors Aweigh (1945)
Kelly and Frank Sinatra star as two sailors looking for female companionship while on a four-day pass in Los Angeles. They meet a Hollywood extra (Kathryn Grayson) and try to help her realise her dream of being a star. The film features a famous sequence where Kelly dances with Jerry, the cartoon mouse of 'Tom and Jerry' fame.
On the Town (1949)
Three sailors (Kelly, Sinatra and Jules Munshin) hit New York City for a 24-hour shore leave. The first order of business is to find some women to spend it with and the boys hook up with Ivy (Vera-Ellen), an aspiring dancer, Hildy (Betty Garrett), a lady cab-driver, and Claire (Ann Miller), a paleontology student, causing mayhem across Manhattan. This was the first musical to make extensive use of location shooting rather than studio bound sets and includes the song-and-dance numbers 'New York, New York' and 'Miss Turnstiles Ballet'.

Kathy Eden reveals the unexplored classical rhetorical theory at
the heart of iconic Renaissance literary works. Kathy Eden explores
the intersection of early modern literary theory and practice. She
considers the rebirth of the rhetorical art-resulting from the
rediscovery of complete manuscripts of high-profile ancient texts
about rhetoric by Plato, Aristotle, Cicero, Quintilian, and
Tacitus, all unavailable before the early fifteenth century-and the
impact of this art on early modern European literary production.
This profound influence of key principles and practices on the most
widely taught early modern literary texts remains largely and
surprisingly unexplored. Devoting four chapters to these
practices-on status, refutation, similitude, and style-Eden
connects the architecture of the most widely read classical
rhetorical manuals to the structures of such major Renaissance
works as Petrarch's Secret, Castiglione's Book of the Courtier,
Erasmus's Antibarbarians and Ciceronianus, and Montaigne's Essays.
Eden concludes by showing how these rhetorical practices were
understood to work together to form a literary masterwork, with
important implications for how we read these texts today.
Systemic Functional Political Discourse Analysis: A Text-based
Study is the first book which takes a comprehensive systemic
functional perspective on political discourse to provide a
complete, integrated, exhaustive, systemic and functional
description and analysis. Based on the political discourses of the
Umbrella Movement - the largest public protest in the history of
Hong Kong, which occupies a unique political situation in the
world: a post-colonial society like many other Asian societies and
yet unlike the others, it is a Special Administrative Region of
China. Though it enjoys a high degree of autonomy under the
principle of 'One Country, Two Systems', it is still confined to
being part of the 'One Country'. The book demonstrates how a
systemic functional approach can provide a comprehensive, thorough,
and insightful analysis of the political discourse from four
co-related and complementary approaches: contextual, discourse
semantic, lexicogrammatical and historical. Apart from a thorough
discussion of various systemic functional conceptions, it provides
examples of various analyses from a SF perspective, including
contextual parameters, registerial analysis, semantic discourse
analysis, appraisal analysis, and discusses important issues in
political discourse, including negotiation of self-identity,
association of language, power and institutional role, and
expression of 'evidentiality' and 'subjectivity'. It is written not
only for those who are interested in Hong Kong politics in general
and political discourse in Hong Kong in particular, but also for
those who work on political discourse analysis, and those who apply
SFL to various other discourses such as mass media discourse,
medical discourse, teaching discourse, etc. Last but not least,
this book is also intended to provide a theoretical framework in
discourse analysis from the systemic functional perspective for
those who work in Cantonese and in other languages.
