Skandar and the Unicorn Thief meets Bunny vs Monkey in this joyous
epic fantasy graphic novel where twelve-year-old Meesh and her band
of outcasts must save the underworld. How far would you go to save
your home - and find yourself? Bullied by the other demons,
twelve-year-old Meesh is more likely to be reading magazines from
Plumeria City - the fairy realm - and fangirling about the fairy
princesses. But when disaster strikes and all of demon-kind is
threatened, Meesh must journey to other worlds in search of help.
As luck would have it, she meets a fairy princess right away.
Things in the fairy realm aren't so perfect either, though. As
Meesh makes surprising new friends and unites a band of outcasts,
she learns there's much more to being a demon than she ever
realised. And learning to love herself might just uncover the
secret to saving her home. 'A not-to-be-missed romp.' Publisher's

Before white settlers came to the area that is now Salem Township,
Potawatomi Indians hunted and fished in a forest filled with
abundant wildlife. The settlers cleared the trees to work the land
and built a lumber mill along Little Rabbit River. Salem was
primarily a farming community carved out by hardworking pioneers.
Four towns were established to serve this farming community:
Diamond Springs to the south, New Salem to the north, and Burnips
Corners and Salem Center (now known as Burnips) in the center. In
1855, Salem Township separated from Monterey Township; then, in the
1930s, the discovery of oil brought financial relief to Salem farm
families who struggled to maintain their farms. A new wave of
residents came to settle in the Salem area as men seeking work in
the oil fields brought their families to the community.

Survey Development: A Theory-Driven Mixed Methods Approach provides
both an overview of standard methods and tools for developing and
validating surveys and a conceptual basis for survey development.
It advocates logical reasoning that combines theory related to
construct validity with theory regarding design, and theory
regarding survey response, item review, and identification of
misfitting responses. The book has 14 chapters which are divided
into four parts. Part A includes six chapters that deal with theory
and methodology. Part B has five chapters and it gets into the
process of constructing the survey. Part C comprises two chapters
devoted to assessing the quality or psychometric properties
(reliability and validity) of survey responses. Finally, the one
chapter in Part D is an attempt to present a synopsis of what was
covered in the previous chapters in regard to developing a survey
with the Theory-Driven-Mixed-Methods (TDMM) framework for
developing survey and conducting survey research. This provides a
full process for survey development intended to yield results that
can support validity. A mixed methods approach integrates both
qualitative and quantitative data outcomes. Including detailed
online resources, this book is suitable for graduate students who
use or are responsible for interpretation of survey research and
survey data as well as survey methodologists and practitioners who
use surveys in their field.

Peter Chan directs this Hong Kong martial arts drama that sees an
incredibly scrupulous detective on the trail of a former criminal
who has attempted to start a new life. Set in 1917, the film finds
Liu Jinxi (Donnie Yen) and his wife Ayu (Wei Tang) living quietly
in a small village. Their sense of tranquillity is disrupted when a
pair of robbers descend on the local store and Liu's intervention
results in their death. Detective Xu Baijiu (Takeshi Kaneshiro), a
man so faithfully attached to the law he values it above human
life, arrives in the village to investigate and is immediately
suspicious of Liu. How could an ordinary villager possess the
skills to overcome two hardened criminals? The assiduous detective
begins an investigation into Liu's past, threatening to uncover his
identity as a retired martial arts expert and lead his many enemies
to his door...
'Tight tense, smoldering, and wonderfully queer' Mike Brooks The
last male dragon. A desperate thief. A bond that will save the
world . . . or shatter it. The first in an epic fantasy trilogy
from Sunday Times bestselling author L.R. Lam. Long ago, humans
betrayed dragons, stealing their magic and banishing them to a
dying world. Centuries later, their descendants worship dragons as
gods. But the 'gods' remember, and they do not forgive. Since they
were orphaned, Arcady has scraped a living thieving on the streets
of Vatra, dreaming of life among the nobility - and revenge. When
the chance arises to steal a powerful artefact from the bones of
the Plaguebringer, the most hated person in Lumet history, they
jump at it, for its magic holds the key to their dreams. But the
spell has unintended consequences, and drags Everen - the last male
dragon, who was once foretold to save his kind - into the human
world. Trapped, and disguised as a human, Everen soon realises that
the key to his destiny, and to regaining his true power, lies in
Arcady. All he needs to do is convince one little thief to bond
with him completely - body, mind, and soul - and then kill them . .
. Yet the closer the two become, the greater the risk both their
worlds will shatter. 'Dragons have never been so sexy' Kate Dylan

Affirming the Rights of Emergent Bilingual and Multilingual
Children and Families explores how the philosophy, principles, and
practices of the internationally acclaimed Municipal Preschools and
Infant Toddler Centers of Reggio Emilia, Italy, advance the social
justice and linguistic human rights of emergent bilingual and
multilingual children and their families, particularly immigrants
and refugees. The book is driven by the authors' research-based
discourse including an interview with Reggio Emilia educators and
direct observations in the Preschools and Infant-toddler Centers in
Italy. Chapters include survey and follow-up interviews, and
classroom examples from U.S. early childhood educators inspired by
the Reggio Emilia approach some of whom are in multilingual
settings. Recommendations are included for practitioners who are
intentional about advocating for the rights of emergent bi- and
multilingual young children. Also included are the researchers'
interpretations and reflexive narratives on contextuality,
intersectionality, and intertextuality, which interweave theories
and practice. The insightful examinations of scholarly work and the
critical review of the distinctive features of the Reggio Emilia
philosophy contribute to an early childhood education
transformative lens that challenges the status quo of inequities
and foregrounds the linguistic and cultural rights of learners who
speak different languages. The authors review research and theory
that inform the latest developments in culturally and
linguistically responsive practices in innovative early education
(infant through pre-k), family participation, and teacher
preparation and development. Of general interest to educators and
researchers around the world who work to ensure the rights of
emergent language learners, this is an essential text for
upper-level and graduate students, early childhood educators,
educational and community leaders, administrators, and researchers.
This book examines the first regional strategy of South Korea
towards Southeast Asia and India. At issue is how a middle power (a
G20 country with the tenth largest economy in the world) seeks to
play a larger and more comprehensive role in regions beyond the
Korean peninsula. Hitherto, South Korean foreign policy has focused
on nuclearizing North Korea, alliance maintenance with the United
States, tricky relations with its most important economic partner
China, and difficult ties with Japan marred by historical and
territorial disputes. The Moon Administration has sought to
diversify South Korean foreign policy by elevating ASEAN and India
to the same strategic level as the United States, China, Russia and
Japan. To be sure, the latter countries continue to be most
significant to the Korean peninsula. However, this book offers
different country and regional perspectives on Seoul's first
regional grand strategy to play a role commensurate with its status
as a middle power.

This self-contained monograph reports the recent approaches,
methods and practices of technology-enabled personalized learning.
It serves to provide some useful references for researchers and
practitioners in the field in conceptualizing and deploying
personalized learning. Personalized learning emphasizes
student-centred learning that addresses individual learning
strengths, needs, skills, and interests, and allows flexibility in
the learning mode, process, time and space, where students can take
ownership of their learning. It has been practiced in educational
institutions at both K-12 and higher education level and, as
evident from several successful cases, is an enabler of
personalized learning. Educational technology incorporated with
other forms of innovative pedagogical practices, such as blended
learning, makes personalized learning a reality to achieve its aims
effectively and efficiently. This book begins with a critical
review on the features and trends of personalized learning. This is
followed by a number of case studies on personalized learning
practices with promising results. The latest research findings on
the approaches, methods and strategies on design and implementation
of personalized learning are then reported. Lastly, the prospects
of personalized learning are discussed. All these provide some
useful references for researchers and practitioners in the field in
conceptualizing and deploying personalized learning. Personalized
Learning will be a key resource for academics, researchers, and
advanced students of education, instructional design and
technology, educational research, educational technology, research
methods, STEM Education, information and communications technology,
and curriculum and instruction.The chapters included in this book
were originally published as a special issue of Interactive
Learning Environments.
This edited volume is the first book-length study focusing
entirely on mobile phone use in China. Drawing on examples from a
wide range of contemporary situations in China and beyond, the
contributors argue that the mobile phone is in fact an important
means by which one can understand a rapidly changing China, and the
developing culture of mobile phone usage reflects both the cultural
norms and struggle of the people.
Through a theoretical comparison of usage in the West and in
China, the editors assert the uniqueness of China 's experience,
highlighting that Chinese society is being exposed simultaneously
to a rapid process of industrialization and cyberization. The
contributors maintain that such density of experience under a
compressed period combined with a thick cultural heritage and a
country still under a dictating rule provides a unique situation
and offers deep insights into Chinese culture in general.
This work will be of great interest to all students and scholars
of Asian communication studies, ICT and Chinese culture and
society.
