Chinese Literature and the Child is a far-reaching study of images
of children in post-Cultural Revolution novels and short stories.
Considering works from over twenty writers, including some of
China's leading literary stars, this book spans two decades of
China's recent and rapid transformation. Tracking ideas of the
child in Chinese society across the twentieth century, Kate Foster
places fictional children within the story of the nation in a study
of tropes and themes which range from images of strength and purity
to the murderous and amoral. In this ambitious and revealing study,
Foster views China's imagined children in relation to major shifts
in Chinese culture and society and through literary theory, and
argues convincingly for the significance of the child in fiction in
the construction of adult identity in a time of change.

Why do we remember events from our childhood as if they happened
yesterday, but not what we did last week? Why does our memory seem
to work well sometimes and not others? What happens when it goes
wrong? Can memory be improved or manipulated, by psychological
techniques or even 'brain implants'? How does memory grow and
change as we age? And what of so-called 'recovered' memories? This
book brings together the latest research in neuroscience and
psychology, and weaves in case-studies, anecdotes, and even
literature and philosophy, to address these and many other
important questions about the science of memory - how it works, and
why we can't live without it. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short

The Dark Man is the amazing true story of one of Australia's first
serial killers, who kept the colony of New South Wales in the grip
of fear as the police ruthlessly hunted their man. In late 1896,
three men go missing in the Blue Mountains, west of Sydney. Each
man has answered a newspaper advertisement posted by charismatic
conman and notorious criminal, Frank Butler (one of his many
aliases). Lured to the western goldfields by stories of the untold
wealth that awaits them, the men find themselves at the mercy of
the psychopathic Butler in some of Australia's most isolated and
inhospitable terrain. Motivated by the thrill of killing and by a
sick pleasure in outwitting his trusting victims, Butler makes his
prey dig their own graves before he shoots them in the back of the
head, buries them, and steals their few meagre possessions. After
an exhaustive search of the rugged mountains near Glenbrook, police
discover the bodies of the victims. In a criminal investigation
that would become legendary, police are led on an international
manhunt as Butler uses a Master's ticket from one of his victim to
secure a berth on the steamer, the Swanhilda, headed for San
Francisco. Following a dramatic arrest at gunpoint, Butler is
returned to Sydney, found guilty, and hanged at Darlinghurst Gaol,
having confessed to those three murders-and alluded to many more.
This compelling account of a cold and calculating killer is told in
a gripping historical narrative that brings Australia's Gold Rush
period vividly to life

Este libro es el primero de dos trilogias metafisicas (Trilogia de
la Verdad y Trilogia para la Nueva Era). Conexion con la Conciencia
Divina invita al lector a extraer sabiduria e inteligencia creativa
de la Conciencia Divina por medio de la Hermandad de Dios -un grupo
de almas avanzadas que constituye la extension del Espiritu Santo y
que ofrece su ayuda a cualquiera que quiera comunicarse con Dios-.
Publicado por primera vez en 1987 en ingles, ahora aparece la
version en espanol de la segunda edicion reeditada (1993), a la
cual se le ha anadido un capitulo llamado Postdatas -historias
contadas por personas que han establecido su conexion con la
Conciencia Divina, la cual les ha ayudado a vivir la vida
exitosamente- y un Glosario. La Hermandad de Dios le hace la
siguiente promesa al lector de cualquier tomo de la Trilogia de la
Verdad: "A usted, lector, lectora, que lea este libro o cualquier
libro de la Trilogia de la Verdad, la Hermandad de Dios les promete
estar con ustedes como maestro y consejero. Nosotros le prometemos
a cada lector que no leera estos libros sin nuestra amable
presencia, nuestro trabajo en equipo y nuestra iluminacion. En el
plano terrenal, hay mucho que enfria la verdad (restandole animo),
pero estos libros salen al mercado acompanados por la
resplandeciente luz de Dios, por dentro y por fuera. Caen
precisamente en manos de aquellos que aspiran encontrar en los
estantes el alimento para sus mentes indagadoras". (Fuente: Eternal
Gold, Tercer Tomo de la Trilogia de la Verdad, escrito tambien por
Jean K. Foster).
"Equal Opportunity is the Law"
Do you work in federally-funded programs and activities? If so,
"Equal Opportunity is The Law" in delivering services, aid,
training, and benefits and this book is a must-have resource for
you. In "Civil Rights Investigations," Ms. Foster assembles a
tremendous amount of information, presents it in an organized and
easy-to-understand format, and delivers it to you along with
practical and useful guidance. Whether you are a novice or expert,

Workforce Investment Act is used as a model, the teachings offered
are applicable to any Title VI-related investigation. Starting with
the basics of knowing whether you have a complaint and authority to
investigate it, to navigating more in-depth concepts such as
understanding the burdens of the parties, properly framing the
issues of an investigation, developing a complaint investigation
plan, interviewing witnesses, analyzing conflicting evidence, and
writing final determinations, "Civil Rights Investigations" is with
you each step of the way, providing insights, tips, and examples. A
wide array of discriminatory bases is explored, including race,
color, national origin, gender, sexual harassment, religion,
disability, political affiliation, citizenship, and age. And, the
book contains sample interrogatories covering numerous Title
VI-related adverse actions such as denial of access, denial of
training, denial of services, denial of benefits, and denial of
proposals. Other sample interrogatories address sexual harassment,
reasonable accommodation, reasonable modification, retaliation,
termination from employment, non-selection and non-promotion,
adverse performance appraisals, and damages.
Simply put, "Civil Rights Investigations" is a top-of-the-line
resource for any equal opportunity professional.
