The stories of Naz Gool Ebrahim and District Six are intimately
linked; in fact it is hard to imagine the one without the other.
As
the niece of Cissie Gool, Naz came from fighting stock. Strong
women with strong voices ran in the family. So when the Apartheid
Government declared 'the District', a slum in 1966 and announced
plans to flatten it, Naz wasn’t about to lose all that she held
dear without a fight. She became the voice of the voiceless, both
in South Africa and in the USA and was nominated as ‘Woman of the
Year’. Naz combined her radical political activism with her roles
as devoted wife and mother to six children. Up until the end of her
life in 2005, she worked tirelessly to oppose the evil of racial
segregation.
To her opponents, she was an indomitable adversary,
but to her friends she was ‘Naz – Raz-a-ma-tazz’, a great lady who
certainly knew how to tell a story and put on a good show.
THE LAST PAGE OF RUDEUS’S TALE
The final disciple of the Man-God appears alongside the treacherous Geese: Badigadi. Equipped with Laplace’s Fighting God Armor and an unparalleled ability to regenerate his body, Badigadi promises a vicious, no-holds-barred fight to the death like Rudeus’s team has never seen before.
Rudeus’s lifelong war against the Man-God is almost over—what will be left when the dust clears?

When life gives you another world, you take it for all it's worth!
The irreverant new isekai adventure from the creator of Didn't I
Say to Make My Abilities Average in the Next Life?! and I Shall
Survive Using Potions! Anime streaming now! After growing up an
orphan, Mitsuha has a healthy respect for money and a desire to
live well--at least, until she dies after being pushed off a cliff.
Waking up in a strange fantasy world, Mitsuha narrowly survives an
encounter with a pack of wolves, then realizes she has the power to
move between this world and the real one. A lesser person might
embark on heroic adventures--Mitsuha instead immediately recognizes
the lucrative possibilities of her new situation, and heads out to
buy an arsenal of modern weapons. Her goal: to acquire 80,000 gold,
and the life of leisure she's always dreamed of!
After trekking nearly 7,500 miles, from Istanbul, Turkey to
Xi’an, China, French travel writer Bernard Ollivier thought he
had put the Silk Road behind him—enough for a retiree to rest on
his laurels! But that was before meeting his now-partner-in-life
Bénédicte Flatet. Why, she asked, hadn’t he set out from
France? After all, the city of Lyon was once Europe’s silk
capital. Â Now, at seventy-five years old, Ollivier decides
to lace up his walking boots and head out to complete his Silk-Road
journey, once and for all: 1,900 miles, from Lyon to Istanbul. Only
this time, he won’t be alone. Flatet has long yearned to hike
side-by-side with Ollivier, so the couple sets out
together . . .
                                                                                                                      Â
This unexpected fourth volume in Ollivier’s Silk Road series (Out
of Istanbul, Walking to Samarkand, and Winds of the Steppe) is a
wonderful bonus for the author’s fans: not only is it the
enthralling continuation of his long walk across Asia, it’s a new
journey unto itself, across Europe, full of delightful firsts, such
as the inclusion of short chronicles by Flatet. Through ten
countries—from familiar France and Italy to the more mysterious
Balkans—the intrepid pair invites us to discover the sometimes
happy, sometimes tragic history of those they encounter, and to
share in their daily lives. Back to Istanbul is both a fervent
appeal for greater understanding among peoples, and a magnificent
declaration of love. Â

'Magical and disturbing' Adam Thirlwell An astonishing,
mind-bending novel about a woman discovering a community of
swan-people from one of Iceland's greatest writers. *SHORTLISTED
FOR THE ICELANDIC WOMEN'S LITERATURE PRIZE* In the not-too-distant
future, a young spy named ElĂsabet Eva is about to discover
something that will upend her life. ElĂsabet likes to take long
solitary walks near the lake. One day, she sees two creatures
emerging from the water, half-human, half-swan. She follows them
through tangles of thickets into a strange new reality. Pulled into
the monomaniacal, and often violent, quest of the swanfolk,
ElĂsabet finds her own mind increasingly untrustworthy. Soon, she
is forced to reckon with the consequences of her involvement with
these unusual beings, and a past life she has been trying to evade.

This fully revised edition of Early Years Practice: Getting It
Right from the Start integrates theory and practice and expands on
the topics of early childhood practice as located within the
context of international curriculum frameworks including Aistear,
the Irish framework. With two new chapters it introduces readers to
the complexities and possibilities of a play-based pedagogy and the
importance of pedagogical leadership. Drawing on recent
international scholarship the book pays particular attention to
role of outdoor play and learning and the impact of digital
technologies. It considers how best to manage the competing
demands, challenges and tensions that affect the daily experiences
of educators and children in contemporary society. This new edition
also revises the original text with expanded references on topics
such as the ecology of early childhood settings, education for
sustainability, developmental psychology, education and
neuroscience. This timely text also reviews international
literature from both research and practice, strengthens
understandings of the key role of relationships to quality practice
and the effects on the development and learning of young children.
All the chapters provide specific examples of good practice with
strategies and suggestions aimed at enhancing the overall
experience of early childhood settings for both educators and
children. The information collected and explored in the book can be
used by lecturers and educators alike to stimulate conversation,
guide reflection and support the profession of early childhood
educators to collectively work towards achieving, supporting and
sustaining high quality early years practice that adds
constructively the lives of babies and young children.

This book analyses anthropological debates on “relationism”
(referring to methodological and theoretical issues) and sets out
to reconsider these discussions with regards to the notion of
“substance” (generally associated with the body). Reflecting on
the philosophical origins and implications of these two concepts,
the author aims to bring them to the heart of contemporary
anthropological discourse and addresses the erasure (or blurring)
of “substance” in favour of “relation.” The argument put
forward is that the conceptual pairing of “substance-relation”
should be substituted for the “nature-culture” dualism that has
been dominant in structural anthropology. The chapters engage with
the work of scholars such as Philippe Descola, Eduardo Viveiros de
Castro and Wang Mingming as part of a decentring and questioning of
the tradition in which anthropology is rooted. The book also
considers the role that the anthropology of China plays in the
re-evaluation of the relationship between relation and substance.
The concept of “submutance” is introduced with Chinese
ethnographic material to explore the possibility of moving beyond
the relation-substance dualism of Western heritage. This is
valuable reading for scholars interested in the theory and history
of anthropology.
“A nuanced portrayal of fire as a force to be
respected.”—Publishers Weekly Life as we know it evolved with
fire; there is no us without it. With lyrical text grounded
in the latest research, this picture book shares the primal
connection between all living things and fire. Children will
understand that everything they know in the world has evolved with
fire. There is comfort in understanding the natural processes
taking place all around. By learning the story of fire and
how it has changed this planet, this book also addresses the
question: Can we adapt to an increasingly fire-prone environment?
This answer is: Yes. Because we always have. FIRE SHAPES THE
WORLD is both a natural history and a child-friendly portrayal of
fire ecology. It is also an encouraging springboard for
conversation illuminated by breathtaking paintings, which will
allow children to explore their connection to this most elemental
agent of change.

This book pushes the theoretical boundaries of human rights
education, engaging with complex questions of climate-related
injustices, re-imagining education through a decolonising lens, and
problematising the relationship between rights and
responsibilities. It presents international studies of HRE in
varied contexts (e.g. Uganda, Japan, Ireland) to explore the views
and experiences of children who identify as human rights defenders,
initial teachers’ understandings of concepts such as teacher
agency in conflict-affected settings, and the barriers to
children’s political agency. The book also highlights HRE in
practice including participatory research with very young children
as co-researchers and realising rights through play pedagogies,
creative writing approaches and picturebooks. A HRE lens is also
brought to bear on emerging subjects such as relationships and
sexuality education and wellbeing. Aimed at educators, researchers
and practitioners, and engaging with a range of concepts, contexts
and contemporary challenges, this book offers new insights into
HRE, particularly in the context of issues relating to children’s
rights education and participation.

This is a unique book, groundbreaking in the field of Islamic
studies. It is, on its surface, a personal story of a South African
couple making their first pilgrimage to Makkah (Hajj) together. The
authors are highly intelligent, well educated, slightly sarcastic,
but very devout in a way that resonates with the faith of other
young people throughout the world. But this book is more than the
musings of young professionals on the meaning of a traditional
ritual. The authors are South African activists struggling against
apartheid and its aftermath. At the same time, they grapple with
gender and authority issues within Islam, especially as these
issues question their social activism. Their book is therefore a
focused story of Muslims committed to social reform and seeking to
reconcile their activism with their deeply traditional faith. The
story is all the more poignant knowing that the trip is both the
vehicle of spiritual discovery and the couple’s last trip together.
Shamima died a few months later, leaving Na’eem to bring up their
two sons and make sense of their journey together. Several books
have been published on the Islamic pilgrimage. None, however, has
the accessibility and personal appeal of Journey of Discovery. More
importantly, none has incorporated the meaning of the pilgrimage
into the spiritual and social landscape of Muslim life in the
contemporary world, as this has. This book is easy to read, yet
highly charged intellectually and emotionally.
The Routledge Handbook of the Northern Ireland Conflict and Peace
is the first multi-authored volume to specifically address the many
facets of the 30-year Northern Ireland conflict, colloquially known
as the Troubles, and its subsequent peace process. This volume is
rooted in opening space to address controversial subjects, answer
key questions, and move beyond reductive analysis that reproduces a
simplistic two community theses. The temporal span of individual
chapters can reach back to the formation of the state of Northern
Ireland, with many starting in the late 1960s, to include a range
of individuals, collectives, organisations, understandings, and
events, at least up to the Good Friday/Belfast Agreement of 1998.
This volume has forefronted creative approaches in understanding
conflict and allows for analysis and reflection on conflict and
peace to continue through to the present day. With an extensive
introduction, preface, and 45 individual chapters, this volume
represents an ambitious, expansive, interdisciplinary engagement
with the North of Ireland through society, conflict, and peace from
a wide range of disciplinary perspectives, theoretical frameworks,
and methodological approaches. While allowing for rich historical
explorations of high-level politics rooted in state documents and
archives, this volume also allows for the intermingling of
different sources that highlight the role of personal papers,
memory, space, materials, and experience in understanding the
complexities of both Northern Ireland as a people, place, and
political entity.
