While Cinder dreams of a girl with eyes the colour of the sea,
Princess Ella longs for something she cannot yet imagine. When the
two girls meet, their hearts are filled with joy, but what will
happen when the clock strikes midnight? With one family being a
source of encouragement, the other determined to crush all attempts
at happiness, the odds are firmly stacked against our heroes. Yet
with the power of love and strength, hope prevails. The result is a
richly purposeful and inspirational, tale where girl meets girl and
love faces adversity. Will Cinder and Ella find their happily ever
after?
Announcing the changing of the seasons and the coming of summer,
Lilacs are ubiquitous both within gardens and as a wild flower.
Their scented flowers are well-known to many with whorls of
fragrant blossom sitting perfectly at nose-height. Symbolising
first love, their fleeting bouquet can provoke a sense of
nostalgia. As a garden flower they became a popular choice in the
eighteenth century, particularly across North America, and
lingering shrubs and blooms in the wild are a telltale indication
of where earlier dwellings might have been. Naomi Slade explores a
wide range of different Lilacs, drawing our attention to the
varying shades of pink, lavender, mauve, burgundy and of course,
lilac, and also to white, blue and yellow varieties. Lilacs are
durable plants and this book offers advice on how to care for and
propagate your flowers, how to identify rare species and practical
tips for how to get the most glorious blooms and the most bountiful
cut flowers.
Presidential Medal of Freedom, Nobel Prize, and Pulitzer Prize
recipient Toni Morrison’s eight children’s books, cowritten
with her son, are collected in one hardcover volume for the first
time in this beautiful keepsake treasury with a foreword by Oprah
Winfrey! The three Who’s Got Game books slyly and exuberantly
retell some of Aesop’s fables. Three of the stories feature
illustrations by Pascal Lemaitre: The Ant or the Grasshopper?
examines friendship, betrayal, and survival while The Lion or the
Mouse? takes a hilarious, subversive look at bullying and ego, big
and small, and The Poppy or the Snake? shows how an accidental
injury spirals into a battle of wills. In The Tortoise or the
Hare?, illustrated by Joe Cepeda, slow and steady wins the
race…or does it? Peeny Butter Fudge, also illustrated by Joe
Cepeda, celebrates the relationship between three kids and their
Nana. Nana can take an ordinary afternoon and make it extra
special! Nap time, story time, and playtime are transformed by
fairies, dragons, dancing, and pretending—and then mixing and
fixing yummy, yummy fudge just like Nana and Mommy did not so many
years ago. A lot can happen when Nana is left in charge! Little
Cloud and Lady Wind features artwork by Sean Qualls and follows
Little Cloud, who likes her own place in the sky. Away from the
other clouds, the sky is all hers. Can Lady Wind show Little Cloud
the power of being with others? Shadra Strickland’s charming
illustrations illuminate Please, Louise. One gray afternoon, Louise
makes a trip to the library. With the help of a new library card
and through the transformative power of books, what started out as
a dull day turns into one of surprises, ideas, and curiosity! This
engaging picture book celebrates the wonders of reading, the
enchanting capacity of the imagination, and, of course, the
splendor of libraries. Toni Morrison’s first book for children,
The Big Box, illustrated by Giselle Potter, introduces three feisty
children who show grown-ups what it really means to be a kid.
Who needs paint, paintbrushes and paper to create art? Not anywhere
artists when there are sticks, stones, sand, mud and clouds waiting
to be used! This story follows an anywhere artist, a creative
little girl's artistic adventures as she makes art anywhere and
with anything. Watch as she creates vivid creatures in the forest,
at the beach, after the rain and in the sky. Through this visual
treat, children will be inspired to make art out of anything
because sometimes imagination is the best tool.

Ranunculus offers advice on how to care for and propagate these
colourful cultivated members of the buttercup family. Naomi Slade
explores a wide range of ranunculus species and cultivars, all
beautifully photographed by Georgianna Lane in their technicolour
glory from palest pink to deep burgundy via white, orange, red and
yellow. Pert as a rosebud and blousy as a dahlia, Ranunculus
asiaticus is the flower of the moment. From ancestors that grew
wild in the eastern Mediterranean, these Persian buttercups have
been bred and selected to create fully double blooms; with layers
of delicate, tissue-paper petals sculpted to perfection and
available in a range of colours to suit any occasion. The buttercup
family is a huge and diverse one, however, and the genus Ranunculus
contains not just these exotic florists' darlings, but a whole
range of their close relatives too. Some are familiar: when fields
and lawns are sprinkled with golden meadow buttercups, we can be
sure that spring has arrived. Yet there are also rare mountain
blooms, perched on crags and fed by the melting snow, and forms of
Ranunculus that thrive in pond margins or flourish in fast-flowing
streams. Naomi Slade explores the world of buttercups, from their
wild origins to their most successfully cultivated and most popular
forms. Some are easy to grow, some less so, and this book offers
tips and advice to help the reader embrace not just those near-wild
forms that lend themselves to naturalistic planting schemes, and
the exquisite, collectible alpines, but also the brilliant,
desirable, Persian buttercups that are so perfect for cutting and
arranging.
If you care about food security in Asia and particularly rice and
world trade, buy this book. The best authors in the business
(legal, academic and private sector) have contributed to its
success with 12 treatises on core issues. I complement the editors
of this compendium, Michael Ewing-Chow and Melanie Vilarasau Slade,
for their intellectual courage in bringing these experts to
contribute to one book. The technical side of these issues have
been kept at a minimum wherever possible for the general reader.
Each chapter relates to the others and guides us to some
conclusions and a call to action.' - Milo Hamilton, Firstgrain,
US'This is a complete recipe for global food security as the most
credible way forward in a world of continuously uncertain food
supplies. Today the overall intact agricultural production
potential appears mainly threatened by location-specific climate
change challenges and by both national and international food
policy governance failures. Hence, the role of trade and of trade
rules is all the more important, as credibly emphasised by the
authors' consequent advocacy for a removal of food trade barriers
as part of a more coherent poverty strategy and towards collective
food security.' - Christian Haberli, Bern University, Switzerland
'Food security is one of the key challenges the world faces. The
demand for food will increase as our population goes up from 7
billion to 9 billion. Global warming and an increasingly erratic
weather pattern will have an impact on food production. It is in
this context that I welcome this important book. The editors have
rightly invited us to refocus our minds from self-sufficiency to
collective food security.' - Tommy Koh, Chairman of the Governing
Board Centre for International Law, National University of
Singapore Food security is one of the greatest challenges of our
time. The food price crisis of 2008 exposed the vulnerabilities of
the global food system. Governments across Asia acerbated the
crisis by imposing export restrictions based on a policy of
self-sufficiency. This book assesses whether self-sufficiency is an
adequate response to the food security challenges we face. Pricing
volatility drives isolationism at a time when climate change and
increasingly uncertain weather patterns make it difficult for any
single nation to guarantee adequate food production for itself.
Through a collection of commissioned studies which draw upon the
experience of leading experts and scholars in trade, investment,
law, economics, and food policy, this book analyses the impact of
this trend on the most essential crop in the Asian region rice. It
suggests that food security policy should be reconceptualised: from
the national to the regional and even the global level. It also
provides its own proposals as to how this new paradigm of
collective food security should be understood and developed. The
book calls for a new conversation in the region, acknowledging that
the challenges we face are global and the solutions must be found
in collective action. This state-of-the-art study will appeal to
lawyers, economists and political scientists, as well as trade and
food security specialists by providing expert analyses and
enlightening solutions for the future. Contributors: C. Boonekamp,

Transformative Property Law honours Professor AJ Van der Walt
(1956-2016) - scholar, mentor, and teacher. As the first incumbent
of the DST/NRF South African Research Chair in Property Law his
primary research goal was to develop the theoretical foundations
for the transformation of property law in post-apartheid South
Africa. Covering topics that are at the forefront of global
thinking on property law, Transformative Property Law consists of
20 essays by a combination of senior and young scholars from South
Africa, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, Ireland,
the Netherlands, Belgium, and Zimbabwe. The essays focus on the
themes that Professor Van der Walt developed during the first 10
years of the research chair, namely: (a) the single system of law
and subsidiarity principles; (b) the marginality principle; (c) the
development of the common law of property; (d) constitutional
property law; and (e) property theory. This volume also includes a
list of all Professor Van der Walt's research outputs and a list of
all the Masters and Doctoral students that he supervised during his
career.
When Simon Cadell announced to the world that he may have only days
to live, it signalled the end of a twenty-year stage career that
had just seen its finest hour-winning an Olivier Award for `Travels
With My Aunt'. The British public had fallen in love with the
charms of Cadell as Jeffrey Fairbrother, part of the hugely
successful sitcom `Hi-de-hi!', constantly dodging the amorous
advances of Ruth Madoc's Gladys Pugh. But behind the lop-sided
smile lay a man full of nerves and insecurity about the looks that
ultimately defined his television career. As the hapless civil
servant Mr Dundridge, in `Blott on the Landscape' he displayed
perfect incompetence played to perfection, brought to triumph by
his naked escape from the clutches of Lady Maud as played by
Geraldine James. Equally adept at Shakespeare and Chekhov as he was
with Whitehall-style farces, Cadell's was a highly respected stage
career achieved via a relentless workload. His many appearances as
Noel Coward earned him a reputation as the definitive Coward
interpreter, something he had first turned his hand to at the
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. With access to family photographs
and documentation, and sourced by numerous interviews, `Simon
Cadell: The Authorised Biography' tells for the first time the
story of a fourth generation actor who oozed charm and had a zest
for a life that was cut tragically short at the peak of his powers.
