The Penguin English Library edition of North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 'How am I to dress up in my finery, and go off and away to smart parties, after the sorrow I have seen today?' Elizabeth Gaskell's compassionate, richly dramatic novel features one of the most original and fully-rounded female characters in Victorian fiction, Margaret Hale. It shows how, forced to move from the country to an industrial northern town, she develops a passionate sense of social justice, and a turbulent relationship with mill-owner John Thornton. North and South depicts a young woman discovering herself, in a nuanced portrayal of what divides people, and what brings them together. The Penguin English Library - 100 editions of the best fiction in English, from the eighteenth century and the very first novels to the beginning of the First World War.
The thrilling Richard & Judy Book Club Pick for 2018, The Party is a gripping story of betrayal, privilege and hypocrisy, set in the unassailable heart of the British establishment. Martin Gilmour and Ben Fitzmaurice have been best friends for 25 years, since their days together at Burtonbury School. They are an unlikely pair: the scholarship boy with the wrong accent and clothes, and the dazzlingly popular, wealthy young aristocrat. But Martin knows no one else can understand the bond they share – and no one else could have kept Ben’s secret for over two decades. At Ben’s 40th birthday party, the cream of the British establishment gathers in a haze of champagne, drugs and glamour. Amid the politicians, the celebrities, the old money and the newly rich, Martin once again feels that pang of not quite belonging. His wife Lucy has her reservations, too. There is something unnerving in the air. But Ben wouldn’t do anything to damage their friendship. Would he?

Social science researchers in the global South, and in South Africa particularly, utilise research methods in innovative ways in order to respond to contexts characterised by diversity, racial and political tensions, socioeconomic disparities and gender inequalities. These methods often remain undocumented – a gap that this book starts to address. Written by experts from various methodological fields, Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences is a comprehensive collation of original essays and cutting-edge research that demonstrates the variety of novel techniques and research methods available to researchers responding to these context-bound issues. It is particularly relevant for study and research in the fields of applied psychology, sociology, ethnography, biography and anthropology. In addition to their unique combination of conceptual and application issues, the chapters also include discussions on ethical considerations relevant to the method in similar global South contexts. Transforming Research Methods in the Social Sciences has much to offer to researchers, professionals and others involved in social science research both locally and internationally.

Known for its clear, straightforward writing style, grounding in current research, and well-chosen visuals and examples, Sigelman and Rider's text combines a topical organization at the chapter level and an age/stage organization within each chapter. Each chapter focuses on a domain of development such as physical growth, cognition, or personality and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age. Each chapter also includes sections on infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. The organization helps you grasp key transformations that occur in each period of the life span. Other staples of the text are its emphasis on theories and their application to different aspects of development and its focus on the interplay of nature and nurture in development. This edition includes new research on biological and sociocultural influences on life-span development and offers new media resources that help you engage more actively with the content.

Die fantastiese Mevrou Smit is terug! En daar is weer ’n geheimsinnige moord… Gaan die aweregse, hardekwas vrou met die skerp tong weer die moordenaar vastrek? Die nege lewens van Mevrou Smit is die heerlike opvolg op die gewilde Die fantastiese Mevrou Smit, die eerste boek in hierdie nuwe lekkerlees-spanningsreeks. Dié keer hou Aronspoort bruilof en die dorp bewe behoorlik van opwinding. Maar op die troudag verloop niks volgens plan nie. Nie met Mevrou Smit in die omtrek nie… Net voordat die skone bruid kansel toe stap waar haar aanstaande blouoogdokter vir haar wag, slaan dié se eksvrou morsdood in een van die kerkbanke neer. Pandemonium bars los. Was dit moord? En wie sal so ’n verskriklike ding op so ’n heuglike dag doen? Boonop loop die dorp onder ’n reeks boewery deur. Wie of wat skuil agter al hierdie boosheid en wat het dit met Mevrou Smit se eie donker verlede te doen? Sal sy die dorp en haarself kan red?
Skaars op Aronspoort, of mevrou Smit hoor sy slaap in die polisieselle – vir haar “onaanvaarbare gedrag” en drink-agter-die-stuur. Wanneer sy die volgende oggend uiteindelik by haar nuwe huis instap, wag ’n lyk op die kombuisvloer. Moes dit dalk eerder sż gewees het, daar in die bloedkol? Maar mevrou Smit is nie ’n lelie wat jy sonder skźr pluk nie. Sy gįįn die moordenaar vastrek, maak nie saak op hoeveel tone sy trap of hoeveel van die dorp se skandes uitpeul nie. Die sterftesyfer styg en sy raak al hoe meer ongewild. Haar skerp tong spaar nie eens die dokter met die mooi blou oė nie. Want sien, sy is ’n vrou met ’n donker verlede. Wat sy met los klere, gemaklike skoene en natuurlike, grys hare probeer verbloem. As die polisie te lank krap, kom hulle dalk op hįįr spoke af. En dit mag nie gebeur nie.

This fully updated edition of Developmental Neuropsychology: A Clinical Approach addresses key issues in child neuropsychology with a unique emphasis on evidence-informed clinical practice rather than research issues. Although research findings are presented, they are described with emphasis on what is relevant for assessment, treatment and management of paediatric conditions. The authors focus on a number of areas. First, the text examines the natural history of childhood central nervous system (CNS) insult, highlighting studies where children have been followed over time to determine the impact of injury on ongoing development. Second, processes of normal and abnormal cerebral and cognitive development are outlined and the concepts of brain plasticity and the impact of early CNS insult discussed. Third, using a number of common childhood CNS disorders as examples, the authors develop a model which describes the complex interaction among biological, psychosocial and cognitive factors in the brain-injured child. Finally, principles of evidence-based assessment, diagnosis and intervention are discussed. The text will be of use on advanced undergraduate courses in developmental neuropsychology, postgraduate clinical training programmes and for professionals working with children in clinical psychology, clinical neuropsychology and educational and rehabilitation contexts. The text is also an important reference for those working in paediatric research.

Soon Holly's troupe of actors - each with ghosts of their own - arrive at Hill House for a creative retreat. But before long they find themselves at odds not just with one another, but with the house itself. For something has been waiting patiently in Hill House all these years. Something no longer content to walk alone.

The history of sexuality has progressed from its earlier marginal status to a central place in historiography. Not only are its foci of research intriguing, but the field has initiated important theoretical advances for the discipline as a whole, especially through the work of Michel Foucault. The editors of this new four-volume Routledge collection define sexuality in a broader sense than sexual identity, to include sexual emotions, desires, acts, representations, and relationships. And while the history of sexuality began in the American and European spheres, the volumes also integrate studies of Asian, African, and other sexual cultures. Similarly, the collection integrates studies from early periods (such as classical Greece and Rome and the medieval era) with modern histories of sexuality.
