Sharks - the ultimate predators, masters of their watery domain, a
world that is entirely alien and inhospitable to man. So many
aspects of the shark are associated with humankind's most primal
fears. The tell-tale dorsal fin slicing through the water, the dead
eyed-stare, the gaping jaws full to unforgiving teeth, the
remorseless drive to kill and feed...Inspired by such classic pulp
movies as Jaws and Deep Blue Sea - as well as such ludicrous
delights as Sharknado and Mega Shark vs Giant Octopus - the stories
contained within are rip-roaring page-turners and slow-build
chillers that celebrate all things savage, pulp and selachian.
Covering the whole range of speculative fiction genres, from horror
and Steampunk, through to SF and WTF, these are stories with bite!
Come on in. The water's fine...
A thrilling story of darkness and destiny, where the brave step
forward and fall over. A terrible sect has arisen in Illmoor -
they're deadly and they're even more hellbent on the destruction of
the city than the citizens themselves.
This book engages with the concept āqueer battle fatigue,ā
which is the everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+ people and
communities often experience from anti-queer norms and values.
Contributors express how this concept is often experienced across
spaces and places, from schools to communities. Queer Battle
Fatigue is one way to express the everyday exhaustion that LGBTQIA+
people and communities often feel that is a result sociopolitical
and cultural anti-queer norms and values. In this volume,
contributors think about how queer battle fatigue hits bodies and
their multiple ways of being, knowing, and doing. Chapters describe
how such violence flows from early childhood experiences to
universities and across community spaces. Contributors also
describe how people and communities resist and refuse anti-queer
norms and values, carving out pathways to live, love, and have joy
despite everyday oppressions. From calling on Black queer
ancestors, to using STEM education as a safe space, to artistic
representations of identities, the chapters in Queer Battle Fatigue
ask readers to consider how to disrupt and deconstruct anti-queer
norms while also engaging in the many beautiful forms of queer joy
as an act of resistance. Queer Battle Fatigue will be a key
resource for academics, researchers, and advanced students of
Education, Qualitative Research, Queer Theory and Gender Studies,
Educational Research and Curiculum Studies. The chapters included
in this book were originally published as a special issue of
International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education.
Collection of eight fan favourite episodes of the acclaimed US

Writing and the Articulation of Post-Qualitative Research is a
collection of experimental essays on the implications of
articulating or performing qualitative research from
post-qualitative philosophies. Although writing has been an
integral part of qualitative research, for better or worse,
throughout the history of the field, the recent emergence of
post-qualitative inquiry necessitates a reconsideration of writing.
This collection of international authors explores the process and
practice of writing in qualitative research from an
onto-epistemological perspective, engaging with temporal, spatial,
relational, social-cultural, and affective concepts and dilemmas
such as philosophical alignment, advocacy in research and the
privileging of written academic language for research
dissemination. The exploration of these questions can help
qualitative researchers in the social sciences and humanities
consider how modalities and processes of writing can alter, shift,
and challenge the ways in which they articulate their research.
Thus, rather than writing being a conveyor of the events happening
during data collection, or used to analyze data or display results,
the authors in this book consider writing as a primary agent in the
research process This book has been designed for scholars in the
social sciences and humanities who want to rethink how they use
writing in their research endeavors and especially ones who are
considering engaging with post-qualitative research.
The first in an hilarous and exciting new fantasy sequence from a
fresh new talent. The Duke of Dulwich is in distress - several
reports are coming in that the city is beginning to be over-run by
a plague of rats. Naturally he has killed off all witnesses, but
daily the problem is becoming more obvious. His corrupt council,
led by the hapless ex-wizard Tambor has no solutions. He must send
for mercenaries to rid his city of the rampant rodents. Heralds
ride out from every gate, each hoping to bring back the saviour of
the city. Part-time herald, full-time thief, and grandson to
Tambor, Jimmy Quickstint is the lucky man - falling haphazardly
upon the skills of Diek Wustapha - a charmer - recently inhabited
by magic and suddenly irresistible to girls, sheep - and rats. Diek
fulfils his task and is promised pound]500 for his troubles. But
once the rats have gone, the council renege on their deal. Full of
anger (and magic), Diek charms the children of Dulwich out of the
city, playing on his mouth organ, where he disappears into the
caves and woodland of the surrounding area. The Duke is now in
despair. Jimmy and his useless friends Groan, a barbarian
mercenary, and Gordo, a dwarf - de

This book discusses and explores the relationship between language
and world view. David Lee presents recent research in linguistics,
drawing together strands from a number of different areas of the
subject: the nature of linguistic and conceptual categories, the
role of metaphor in the everyday use of language, gender
differentiation and social variation in speech.In this study, David
Lee considers a broad range of issues in the light of two
contrasting views on language. For much of its history, linguistics
has been dominated by a tradition which sees individual languages
as uniform, homogenous systems. However, there has always been an
opposite view emphasising the complex tensions and cross-currents
inherent in linguistic usage. This alternative perspective is
explored in the analysis of a wide range of literary and
non-literary texts: casual conversations, interviews, newspaper
reports, official memoranda, television commercials and extracts
from novels. The author describes how both spoken and written texts
can be seen as the sites where tensions between "competing
discourses", stemming from different social positions and
perspectives, are illustrated.
"One can only wish for more poets like David Lee."-"Chowder
Review"
Set in the American Southwest, "So Quietly the Earth" is a book
of landscape meditations on philosophical, theological and
environmental issues. Radically departing from his justly famous
narratives of rural life, David Lee weaves the archetypal elements
of earth, fire, water, and air throughout his poems as he explores
spiritual connections to the natural world.
David Lee, author of 15 books of poems, was named Utah's first
Poet Laureate and in 2001 was a finalist for the United States Poet
Laureate. A former seminary candidate, semi-pro baseball player and
hog farmer, he recently retired as the head of the languages and
literature department at Southern Utah University.

Beyond Borders compiles essays from various authors who explore the
queerness of young adult literature that contains lesbian, gay,
bisexual, trans, queer, and questioning characters, some written by
LGBTQ identified authors, while presenting lessons for secondary
English classrooms. As queer theorists, the authors ask if young
adult literature can imagine other spaces, representations, ways of
being, identifications, and inclusion of LGBTQ characters and
stories. This collection examines questions of theory as well as
classroom literacy practices, while employing new theories in novel
and creative intersections with literary texts. The book is perfect
for teacher education courses focused on young adult literature, as
well as secondary English education courses including methods of
teaching English courses, teaching literature methods courses,
queer theory in education courses, teaching of writing courses, and
content area literacy courses.

ou can write about pigs," is the advice David Lee heard from
John, a wise and unlettered pig farmer in Utah. And write Lee did,
while creating a collection of narratives and epic tales about the
rural Southwest. Using the direct and uncompromising impact of
common talk, " Porcine Canticles"a lyrical tribute to the
indomitability of the human heart, a rare book of poems that "reads
like a good novel."-"Western American Literature"
Many of America's first European settlers felt they were travelling
to a sort of promised land, but James Oglethorpe viewed
America--specifically, what is today the state of Georgia--as his
own personal utopia. Convincing his king to grant him a land
parcel, Oglethorpe threw his lot in with 35 poor families and
travelled to the New World. There, he became the first
administrator of the Georgian colony and founded the town of
Savannah. This work tells the story of James Oglethorpe and of
Georgia from its birth as a colony in 1733 to its emergence as a
free state 50 years later. Appendices include the roster of initial
settlers, the Georgia constitution of 1777 and a detailed timeline.
Lee's ear for colloquial speech, his attention to concrete detail,
and his firsthand knowledge of rural farm life has informed his
poetry, making him unique in his generation. Peopled with some of
the most authentically drawn characterizations of agrarian life
since Mark Twain, Lee's is a small-town universe filled with
hilarity, love, labor, and tragicomedy, but above all else, with
compassionate wisdom.
