Studying Fiction provides a clear rationale alongside ideas and
methods for teaching literature in schools from a cognitive
linguistic perspective. Written by experienced linguists, teachers
and researchers, it offers an overview of recent studies on reading
and the mind, providing a detailed guide to concepts such as
attention, knowledge, empathy, immersion, authorial intention,
characterisation and social justice. The book synthesises research
from cognitive linguistics in an applied way so that teachers and
those researching English in education can consider ways to
approach literary reading in the classroom. Each chapter: draws on
the latest research in cognitive stylistics and cognitive poetics;
discusses a range of ideas related to the whole experience of
conceptualising teaching fiction in the classroom and enacting it
through practice; provides activities and reflection exercises for
the practitioner; encourages engagement with important issues such
as social justice, emotion and curriculum design. Together with
detailed suggestions for further reading and a guide to available
resources, this is an essential guide for all secondary English
teachers as well as those teaching and researching in primary and
undergraduate phases.

Essential study guides for the future linguist. The Language of
Literature is a general introduction to the methods and principles
behind stylistics. It is suitable for advanced level students and
beyond. Written with input from the Cambridge English Corpus, it
provides students with an introduction to stylistics with texts
from different genres. It takes the approach that the best way to
study literary texts is to focus closely on language. Using short
activities to help explain analysis methods, this book guides
students through major modern issues and concepts. It summarises
key concerns and findings, while providing inspiration for language
investigations and non-examined assessments (NEAs) with research
suggestions.

2013 marks the 40th anniversary of the US Supreme Court's abortion
decision in Roe v. Wade. In recent years, attempts to overturn the
ruling have reached a fevered pitch, with nearly 100 new laws going
into effect. The chilling effect of these laws has been to
establish a reproductive health care system in these states that
makes abortion legal in name only, and which places women -
especially poor, rural or those of colour - into a separate health
care class, with few choices or control. This title examines 11
states that since 2010 have each passed a different anti-abortion
or anti-women's health law explicitly written to provoke a repeal
of Roe v. Wade.
This heartbreaking memoir tells the powerful true story of the
author's struggle with anorexia and the affects of suffering with
the illness. By sharing her story, Jessica Mason writes in order to
show the reader what it's like to be controlled by this horrible
illness, what can be done to prevent others living with anorexia
and most of all to show that there is hope for people who are out
there suffering.
