'The characters are quite extraordinarily living...A most original
and grimly farcical situation' - Dorothy L. SayersRobert Arthur
Kewdingham is an eccentric failure of a man. In middle age he
retreats into a private world, hunting for Roman artefacts and
devoting himself to bizarre mystical beliefs. Robert's wife,
Bertha, feels that there are few things more dreadful than a
husband who will persist in making a fool of himself in public.
Their marriage consists of horrible quarrels, futile arguments,
incessant bickering. Scarcely any friends will visit the
Kewdinghams in their peaceful hometown Shufflecester. Everything is
wrong - and with the entrance of John Harrigall, a bohemian
bachelor from London who catches Bertha's eye, they take a turn for
the worse. Soon deep passions and resentments shatter the calm
facade of the Kewdinghams' lives. This richly characterised and
elegantly written crime novel from 1933 is a true forgotten
classic.

'My friend Ellingham has persuaded me to reveal to the public the
astounding features of the Reisby case. As a study in criminal
aberration it is, he tells me, of particular interest, while in
singularity of horror and in perversity of ingenious method it is
probably unique.' 1913. John Farringdale, with his cousin Eric
Foster, visits the famous archaeologist Tolgen Reisby. At
Scarweather - Reisby's lonely house on the windswept northern coast
of England - Eric is quickly attracted to Reisby's much younger
wife, and matters soon take a dangerous turn. Fifteen years later,
the final scene of the drama is enacted. This unorthodox novel from
1934 is by a gifted crime writer who, wrote Dorothy L. Sayers,
'handles his characters like a "real" novelist and the English
language like a "real" writer - merits which are still, unhappily,
rarer than they should be in the ranks of the murder specialists.'

Dieters everywhere have the same complaint: they're hungry all the time. Now this revolutionary book, based on sound scientific principles, can help you lose weight safely, effectively, and permanently without those gnawing pangs of hunger. The Volumetrics Weight-Control Plan introduces the concept of "energy density" -- concentration of calories in each portion of food. Here you'll learn how to avoid high energy -- dense foods, and how such different nutritional factors as fat, fiber, protein, and water affect energy density and satiety. You'll discover which foods, eaten under which circumstances, allow you to consume fewer calories and still be satisfied. And you'll get to know the hidden calorie traps, seemingly innocuous foods that can sneak unwanted calories into your body. Finally, the authors offer 60 sensible, tasty and easy recipes, plus an integrated program of exercise and behavior management that can be sustained over a lifetime.

WHY PUBLISH: - It develops, in "beginning-orientation", a wholly
original approach to analysing and understanding detective fiction.
- Due to the popularity of Agatha Christie's fiction, this book
would have a broad appeal, particularly in the UK, Europe, US and
Australasia. There might be scope for a French translation, given
the author's focus on Pierre Bayard's scholarship. - Not only does
this book challenge Agatha Christie's plots, but also dissects
previous re-readings of them (Banyard's) to formulate new
interpretations.

Bringing new perspectives on educational resources together, this
book considers how a range of learning materials can be used to
effectively highlight creativity, collaboration, and critical
thinking in learning. Covering a broad scope of educational
resources, the book examines the use of resources in Scandinavian
education within language studies, literature, history, and social
studies at all levels of education through empirically grounded
research including ethnographies and textual analysis. Written by
practising experts in the field of education studies, chapters
present examples of both cutting-edge digital media and more
traditional artefacts and books, providing critical discussion and
inspiration for how a range of resources can be used creatively
within the classroom. This interdisciplinary book is a valuable
addition to scholarly discussions around educational development
and learning, and will be relevant for academics, researchers, and
postgraduate students in the fields of teacher education,
didactics, curriculum, and educational technology.
Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? These
questions form the title of an 1897 painting by the French artist
Paul Gauguin. He knew he was pushing the limits of human knowledge
by asking them. He also knew they are not new questions. Our
ancestors began to ask them on the African savannah. The Roman poet
Lucretius posed them in his long poem On the Nature of Things,
written just before the Christian era. He sought natural
explanations for the behaviour of matter, without recourse to gods.
But he also knew that the world we see is largely a creation of our
mind. Since then, science has answered most of his 'how' questions,
almost to the point of offering us a 'Theory of Everything'. But
Gauguin's 'why' questions remain largely unanswered. They require a
personal response from us, without which, as Lucretius intuited,
nothing can be joyous or lovely. In The Stupendous Story of Us, we
consider the narrative from all angles: our mastery of the realm of
things, our exploration of our inner world, and our connectedness
to each other. The pace is frantic because life is short, knowledge
is infinite, and the challenges ahead are pressing.
From Rolling Stone, the definitive and lavishly illustrated
companion book to one of the most popular and hotly debated lists
in the world of musicWhen Rolling Stone publishes a list, the world
listens. The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list was first
established in 2003 and the lineup was updated in 2012, polling the
industry's most celebrated artists, producers, industry executives,
and journalists to create the definitive ranking. As a companion to
the original 2003 list, Rolling Stone and Wenner Books published
the bestselling 500 Greatest Albums coffee table book. In 2020
Rolling Stone started from scratch with a completely new 500
Greatest Albums list, voted on by the biggest names in
music-including Beyonce, Billie Eilish, and Taylor Swift, to name a
few. As expected, the new list caused a huge splash across the
music and entertainment industries, sparking major conversation and
debate around the list, and generating more than 125 million page
views on RollingStone.com in the first month of launch.In
partnership with Abrams, Rolling Stone has created the definitive
companion book to reflect the all-new 2020 list, telling the
stories behind all 500 albums through incredible Rolling Stone
photography, original album art, Rolling Stone's unique critical
commentary, breakout pieces on the making of key albums, archival
interview content, and a celebrity introduction.

This fascinating and vital book seeks to challenge the
effectiveness of current practices in professional development by
urging educators to rethink professional learning for teachers and
teaching assistants. It importantly brings together ideas about
teacher professionalism and how to build creative and trusting
cultures in which high expectations are not compromised.
Throughout, teachers describe significant professional learning and
growth, often through dynamic partnerships with others, that allows
them to inspire imaginative possibilities; different and creative
ways to ignite hope and opportunity for children. Four key themes
guide the reader through the collection of chapters: professional
capital, learning communities, teachers as researchers and
subject-specific professional development. They explore: The types
of professional development approaches that support teachers to
make meaningful changes within their practices. The conditions and
school cultures that are needed for teachers to meaningfully
prosper from professional development. The impact that unintended
consequences of system accountability drivers and funding have on
teachers' experiences of professional development. The ways in
which the development of curriculum and pedagogy can be integrated
with models of professional development, particular in the creative
arts. Packed with innovative ideas and practical suggestions and
co-written by researchers and practitioners, this book highlights
the importance of using research evidence to develop teachers'
practice within the realities of their own classrooms and schools.
This will be a key read for teachers, school leaders, teaching
assistants and student teachers.

This book focuses on the complex issues of tourism development,
governance and sustainability in the long-standing popular island
destination, The Bahamas, where tourism remains one of the primary
fiscal industries. The book achieves this by looking at the impacts
of mass tourism development from social, economic and environmental
perspectives; panarchy and resilience; assessing sustainability;
moving towards a blue economy; impacts of climate change and
innovative alternative tourism offerings to ensure sustainable
tourism - a welcomed but challenging essential contemporary focus
of the tourism industry. It further looks at how development,
governance and sustainability come together in the aftermath of a
recent natural disaster, hurricane Dorian, which proved to be a
strong catalyst for action, innovation and change in The Bahamas.
Given the complexity of these key concepts and The Bahamas as an
established popular tourism destination archipelago which relies so
heavily on the industry, this book offers significant insight for
other tourism regions and will therefore be essential reading for
upper-level students and academics in the field of Tourism
research.
