The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together—a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything.
But when optimistic Officer Judy Hopps arrives, she discovers that being the first bunny on a police force of big, tough animals isn’t so easy.
Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack a case, even if it means partnering with a fast-talking, scam-artist fox, Nick Wilde, to solve the mystery.
When an ambitious tyrant threatens genocide against the Jews, an inexperienced young queen must take a stand for her people.
When Xerxes, king of Persia, issues a call for beautiful young women, Hadassah, a Jewish orphan living in Susa, is forcibly taken to the palace of the pagan ruler. After months of preparation, the girl known to the Persians as Esther wins the king's heart and a queen's crown. But because her situation is uncertain, she keeps her ethnic identity a secret until she learns that an evil and ambitious man has won the king's permission to exterminate all Jews--young and old, powerful and helpless.
Purposely violating an ancient Persian law, she risks her life in order to save her people... and bind her husband's heart.

From National Book Award Finalist Laird Hunt, a masterful
collection of interwoven stories capturing one summer's day in
Reagan-era Indiana. Candy Wilson has forgotten to buy the paprika.
Turner Davis needs to get his zinnias in. Della Dorner told her
mother she was going to Milky Freeze, but that's not where she's
really headed on her new Schwinn five-speed. Float Up, Sing Down is
the story of a single day. But in that day, how much teeming life!
The residents of this rural town have their routines, their
preferences, their joys, grudges, and regrets. The old-timers savor
past triumphs, cast back to lives circumscribed and defined by the
World Wars, wonder what might have been. Youngsters covet cars,
karate moves, kissing; they writhe in the first blushes of love or
pain or independence. Gossip is paramount. Lives are entwined.
Retired sheriffs climb corn bins and muse on lost love, French
teachers throw firecrackers out of barn windows, and teenagers
borrow motorcycles to ride the back roads. Each of the fourteen
stories of Float Up, Sing Down follows one character's
'day-in-the-life' in one of Hunt's most beloved and enduring
landscapes. As the book unfolds these lives echo and glance off of
one another with elegance and warmth, a tenderness born of
strength. In the tradition of Willa Cather, Sherwood Anderson,
Elizabeth Strout, and Edward P. Jones, this is a symphony of souls,
a masterful portrait of both loneliness and community by one of our
great limners of American experience.
The Level 7 Biff, Chip and Kipper Stories, written by Roderick Hunt
and illustrated by Alex Brychta, provide a rich story context to
help develop language comprehension and decoding skills. Stories,
More Stories A and More Stories B involve familiar situations and a
variety of fantasy settings through the magic key adventures.
Longer stories help to build reading stamina, which is important
for later reading success. Books contain inside cover notes to
support children in their reading. Help with childrens reading
development is also available at www.oxfordowl.co.uk.

One lowly barista. One coffee-drinking dictator. John Hunt’s playful
and damning satire on political power Meet our hero Cappuccino –
barista to the President – who’s never lived anywhere other than in the
big man’s compound. Left in the care of Maria-I’m-not-your-mother when
his real mom died, Cappuccino spent his boyhood in the laundry room
before receiving his true calling.
From behind his impressive chrome coffee machine, Cappuccino is a fly
on a very important wall. And, more importantly, he is in love with the
captivating Naomi, an assistant to the President.
But life is about to serve Cappuccino a bitter cup when he finds the
Minister without Portfolio – and moral compass to The Boss – dead in
the presidential home.
Filled with warm humour, John Hunt’s novel serves up a double shot of
pathos as it moves from playful satire to true tragedy whilst examining
the inner workings of power.
This book introduces the fundamentals of financial mathematics. It
begins with a discussion of simple and compound interest and then
establishes the important concepts of effective and equivalent
effective interest rates. Subsequent chapters discuss the
applications of annuities to practical problems regarding the
saving of money and repayment of loans. The notion of using net
present value and internal rate of return to distinguish between
two different investment opportunities is presented. The concluding
chapters of the book take a brief look at the use of differential
and integral calculus in financial mathematics. Each chapter
includes numerous worked examples that are solved with the aid of a
financial calculator where applicable.

All eight episodes from the sixth series of the ITV comedy drama.
Taking place 13 years on from the end of the last series, Adam
(James Nesbitt) returns to Manchester having travelled the world
and settled in Singapore after his wife's death. He returns with

Now comprehensively updated and revised, this is a completely
authoritative guide on how to look after your old house, whether
it’s a timber framed medieval cottage, an eighteenth century
urban terrace or an example of Victorian or Edwardian speculative
development. Taking its lead from the Society for the Protection of
Ancient Buildings (who have approved and authorised this volume),
the book’s approach is one of respect, restraint and repair
rather than ‘restoration’ which can so easily and permanently
destroy the rich historical legacy of any old building. Providing
richly and deeply informed practical guidance on everything from
breathability and damp to structural movement, roofs, windows and
doors. This is the essential reading for anyone with an old house
in need of any kind of repair or maintenance. Â
