Foreword by Sir Philip Pullman, CBE, FRSL Illustrated foreword by Chris Riddell, OBE The burgeoning field of visual literacy can be universally understood across a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, regardless of traditional literacy levels. A key tool for navigating digital devices, there is often an antipathy surrounding visual literacy borne out of stigma and at times, intimidation. Seeing Sense brings together research and best practice from different organisations and institutions all over the world to showcase the role of visual literacy as a tool for promoting reading. It will be key in raising awareness among librarians and education practitioners, promoting aspiration and achievement among the children and young people they work with. Coverage includes: an overview of visual literacy as a tool for reading development the role of visual literacy in design and display within libraries and resource centres advice for library and information professionals on how to gain greater confidence in using and understanding visual literacy as part of strategies to engage readers a number of practical case studies to illustrate the power and potency of visual literacy as a key tool for making reading accessible, engaging, and appealing for all.

When a young Yale surgeon is kidnapped and forced to perform organ harvesting surgeries and experimental brain computer implants on "missing" American young women, he rebels until his Arab captors bring out his fiance, the next to die. Still refusing their evil plans, our hero Alex Dorn, M.D is further tempted by money, fame and the promise of wild sex. This is a story of moral character under attack. It is a retelling of a Herman Melville novel, concerning an individual's responsibility to confront the evil of slavery. Beware to the reader, graphic sexual and other descriptions used in this narrative.
