This volume of over thirty essays is organised around five primary
dimensions of Hillary Clinton's influence: policy, activism,
campaigns, women's ambition and impact on parents and their
children. Combining personal narrative with scholarly expertise in
political science, this volume looks at American politics through
the career of Hillary Clinton in order to illuminate overarching
trends related to elections, gender and public policy. Featuring an
extraordinarily varied list of contributors working within the
field of political science, and a fresh interdisciplinary approach,
this book will appeal to broad range of politically engaged
audiences, practitioners and scholars.
How, and what, children and young adults read are questions bound
up with both aspirations and concerns. This book brings together
experts from a range of academic disciplines to examine how this
reading has been mediated in Anglo-American contexts. Reading
Mediation explores mediation across case studies of different
reading experiences, practices and modes: It considers social and
solitary reading; it analyzes ideas of text-reader interaction
through book design and textual strategies; and it examines methods
readers use for orienting themselves in relation to the text.
Throughout it interrogates how values and assumptions about the
effects of reading are implicated in its mediation, underpinning
book collections, programmatic and parental intervention and
facilitation of reading as well as the study of children's reading
and literature. Employing a variety of methodologies, the essays
elaborate how using "mediation" as a connecting node of analysis
promotes interdisciplinary dialogue, and they demonstrate its value
as a critical term for the study of children's reading, literacy
and print culture.
Rustling under a leafy tree, A greedy shrew could hardly see...
Shrew has spent his entire life using only one sense to hunt - his
sense of smell. Until a horrible case of the flu forces him to make
use of the rest of his senses. Once he hones the art of hunting -
using more than just his nose - he can't help but gobble up every
snack in sight. The question is, can Shrew restore the forest he so
dearly loves? 'The Shrew with The Flu' is a wonderfully warm and
endearing story by budding author Will Hamilton-Davies, created in
partnership with illustrator Jennifer Davison. The combination of
rhyming verse and rich, vibrant illustrations, makes this
environmentally themed story the perfect read-aloud for every
family. While on the surface 'The Shrew with The Flu' is an
endearing story about a shrew's quest for food, it also holds a
powerful message about greed and empathy, a message that fosters
love and respect for our natural world.

Leprechaun Returns
The deadly, wisecracking Leprechaun is back in all his gory glory. When the sorority sisters of the Alpha Upsilon house decide to go green and use an old well as their water source, they unwittingly awaken a pint-sized, green-clad monster. The Leprechaun wants a pot of gold buried near the sorority house, but first he must recover his powers with a killing spree - and only the girls of AU can stop him.

J.D. Beding and his daughter Tory take a break at a summer house which is unfortunately located on the site of an evil leprechaun's stolen gold - and the leprechaun will stop at nothing to get it back! J.D., Tory and local boys Nathan, Alex and Ozzie team up to prevent the leprechaun's trail of magic and murder as he tries to drive them away from his treasure. (Cult classic horror from 1993.)
