Set up high on the cliffs, in the grounds of a ruined monastery,
overlooking the dreary town of Blinkton-on-Sea, is the otherwise
unremarkable Blinkton High School. Here resides the enigmatic Inky
Stevens - a talented and astute student, better known as "the Great
School Detective". A straight forward investigation into who was
responsible for a misdirected but wounding snowball, sets our
school sleuth on the trail of a much greater and more menacing
crime.
Set up high on the cliffs, in the grounds of a ruined monastery,
overlooking the dreary town of Blinkton-on-Sea, is the otherwise
unremarkable Blinkton High School. Here resides the enigmatic Inky
Stevens - a talented and astute student, better known as "the Great
School Detective." What appears to be a trivial search for a
missing set of keys soon turns much more sinister with our hero
facing mortal danger. Will Inky unlock this case and find the key
to his survival or will he meet a horrific end?
Smart cities promise to generate economic, social and environmental
value through the seamless connection of urban services and
infrastructure by digital technologies. However, there is scant
evidence of how these activities can enhance social well-being and
contribute to just and equitable communities. Smart and Sustainable
Cities? Pipedreams, Practicalities and Possibilities provides one
of the first examinations of how smart cities relate to
environmental and social issues. It addresses the gap between the
ambitious visions of smart cities and the actual practices on the
ground by focusing on the social and environmental dimensions of
real smart city initiatives as well as the possibilities they hold
for creating more equitable and progressive cities. Through
detailed analyses of case studies in the United States, Australia,
the United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, India and China, the
contributors describe the various ways that social and
environmental issues are interpreted and integrated into smart city
initiatives and actions. The findings point towards the need for
more intentional engagement and collaboration with all urban
stakeholders in the design, development and maintenance of smart
cities to ensure that everyone benefits from the increasingly
digitalised urban environments of the twenty-first century. The
chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue
of the journal Local Environment.

An author and educator's pioneering approach to helping autistic
students find their voices through poetry-a powerful and uplifting
story that shows us how to better communicate with people on the
spectrum and explores how we use language to express our seemingly
limitless interior lives. Adults often find it difficult to
communicate with autistic students and try to "fix" them. But what
if we found a way to help these kids use their natural gifts to
convey their thoughts and feelings? What if the traditional
structure of language prevents them from communicating the full
depth of their experiences? What if the most effective and most
immediate way for people on the spectrum to express themselves is
through verse, which mirrors their sensory-rich experiences and
patterned thoughts? May Tomorrow Be Awake explores these questions
and opens our eyes to a world of possibility. It is the inspiring
story of one educator's journey to understand and communicate with
his students-and the profound lessons he learned. Chris Martin, an
award-winning poet and celebrated educator, works with non-verbal
children and adults on the spectrum, teaching them to write poetry.
The results have been nothing short of staggering for both these
students and their teacher. Through his student's breathtaking
poems, Martin discovered what it means to be fully human. Martin
introduces the techniques he uses in the classroom and celebrates
an inspiring group of young autistic thinkers-Mark, Christophe,
Zach, and Wallace-and their electric verse, which is as
artistically dazzling as it is stereotype-shattering. In telling
each of their stories, Martin illuminates the diverse range of
autism and illustrates how each so-called "deficit" can be
transformed into an asset when writing poems. Meeting these
remarkable students offers new insight into disability advocacy and
reaffirms the depth of our shared humanity. Martin is a teacher and
a lifelong learner, May Tomorrow Be Awake is written from a desire
to teach and to learn-about the mind, about language, about human
potential-and the lessons we have to share with one other.
Join Chris Martin for a poetic walking tour of hell-or is it
heaven? In this wickedly clever collection, Martin asks how we go
about living in the tension between protesting lunatic politicians
and picking up the kids from school, mourning a dying Earth and
making soup, combating white supremacy and loving our dear ones.
Martin's poems pick at the tender scabs protecting our national and
individual identities, and call for more honest healing. Things to
Do in Hell channels 2016 anger into 2020 action with sophisticated,
rhythmic verse that compels us to beat our swords into ploughshares
and join the fight.

Contemporary British artist Heather Phillipson works across video,
sculpture, online projects, music, drawing, and poetry. She will be
the next artist to exhibit work at the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar
Square and has been selected as Tate Britain's 2021 Duveen
Galleries commission. Other recent commissions include Sharjah
Biennial 14 and the Martin Gropius Bau, Berlin, and her solo
projects range from Art on the Underground's flagship site at
Gloucester Road, an online work for the Museum of Contemporary Art
Chicago and a major solo show at BALTIC Centre for Contemporary
Art. This first monograph on the artist traces the evolution of her
practice. Alongside the artist's own writings, the book will
feature three newly-commissioned essays by writer and curator Laura
McLean-Ferris, the experimental London-based writer Charlie Fox,
and Professor Chus Martinez. The book explores the wide variety of
media used by the artist to investigate the power structures and
contradictions of contemporary life.
Everything you ever wanted to know about the Second World War, from
the highest-rated fighter aces to the most inventive escape
equipment used to break out of Colditz; from army pay by rank to
the largest battleships; from the most stirring speeches to the
biggest tactical errors; from the strangest regimental mottoes to
the plays most performed by ENSA; and from the dates each country
joined the war to the most unlikely spies. All the major events and
dates in the war are covered in detail, but equal emphasis is
placed on the human experience of combat. Often poignant and always
revealing, World War II: the Book of Lists offers a unique insight
into the deadliest conflict in human history.
Launched in 1971, the Alfasud was an all-new departure for Alfa
Romeo, both in its design and its execution and became the
best-selling model in the history of Alfa Romeo . Originally it was
developed with the dual intentions of launching the company into
large volume production and providing a more affordable model than
their highly regarded sports cars. However, its story was far from
straightforward. Although respected for its technically brilliant
design and universally praised for its ride and handling, the model
never quite reached its full sales potential and its reputation was
marred by problems that could not have been foreseen. With over 240
colour photographs, the book includes a brief history of Alfa Romeo
to the end of the 1960s. The development of the Alfasud's design
and the political reasons for building a new factory are given
along with the car's reception from both the press and owners. The
evolution of the model from initial prototypes, to the improvements
to build quality and performance, including the Giardinetta and
Sprint variations are covered as well as Alfasuds in competition.
The political and labour problems, as well as the early quality
control issues are discussed. Finally, there are numerous
specification tables, performance data, chassis numbers, engine
codes and colour charts.
