Mrs Quinn is the unlikely star of Britain's favourite baking show, but
could her newfound stardom cause her biggest secret to unravel?
Jennifer Quinn has a secret. Her love of baking has just won her a spot
as a contestant on a primetime TV show. It's only the second time in
fifty-nine years that she's kept something from her beloved husband
Bernard.
She's about to be whisked into an unfamiliar world of cameras, timed
challenges and celebrity judges. She could be in with a chance of being
crowned the best baker in Britain.
But, as Mrs Quinn's quiet ambitions turn into unexpected stardom, the
other secret she's been keeping is in danger of resurfacing. It was
supposed to stay hidden forever.
Will Mrs Quinn rise to the challenge? Or, will her success become a
recipe for disaster?
The white nationalist movement in the United States is nothing new.
Yet, prior to the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville,
Virginia, many Americans assumed that it existed only on the
fringes of our political system, a dark cultural relic pushed out
of the mainstream by the victories of the Civil Rights Movement.
The events in Charlottesville made clear that we had underestimated
the scale of the white nationalist movement; Donald Trump's
reaction to it brought home the reality that the movement had
gained political clout in the White House. Yet, as this book
argues, the mainstreaming of white nationalism did not begin with
Trump, but began during the Obama era. Hard White explains how the
mainstreaming of white nationalism occurred, pointing to two major
shifts in the movement. First, Barack Obama's presidential tenure,
along with increases in minority representation, fostered white
anxiety about Muslims, Latinx immigrants, and black Americans.
While anti-Semitic sentiments remained somewhat on the fringes,
hostility toward Muslims, Latinos, and African Americans bubbled up
into mainstream conservative views. At the same time, white
nationalist leaders shifted their focus and resources from protest
to electoral politics, and the book traces the evolution of the
movement's political forays from David Duke to the American Freedom
Party, the Tea Party, and, finally, the emergence of the Alt-Right.
Interestingly it also shows that white hostility peaked in 2012-not
2016. Richard C. Fording and Sanford F. Schram also show that the
key to Trump's win was not persuading economically anxious voters
to become racially conservative. Rather, Trump mobilized racially
hostile voters in the key swing states that flipped from blue to
red in 2016. In fact, the authors show that voter turnout among
white racial conservatives in the six states that Trump flipped was
significantly higher in 2016 compared to 2012. They also show that
white racial conservatives were far more likely to participate in
the election beyond voting in 2016. However, the rise of white
nationalism has also mobilized racial progressives. While the book
argues that white extremism will have enduring effects on American
electoral politics for some time to come, it suggests that the way
forward is to refocus the conversation on social solidarity,
concluding with ideas for how to build this solidarity.
A "powerful and insightful" (Cyntoia Brown-Long, author of Free
Cyntoia) memoir in the vein of Just Mercy and The Sum of Us that
upends our understanding about the future of policing in the United
States and explores how we can begin healing from systemic
injustice. In 2012, nineteen-year-old Leon Ford was shot five times
by a Pittsburgh police officer during a racially charged traffic
stop stemming from a case of mistaken identity. When he woke up in
the hospital, he was faced with two life-changing realities: he was
a new father, and he was paralyzed from the waist down. Leon found
the only way to move forward was to let go of his bitterness and
learn to practice forgiveness. Now, in this memoir and manifesto,
Leon illustrates how this harrowing experience has inspired a deep
reckoning with the issues his community is facing, not only with
police brutality, but also an epidemic of street violence, toxic
masculinity and its impact on Black fatherhood, and the lack of
disability rights and mental health access in disenfranchised
communities. In the wake of countless similar shootings across the
country, Leon details how he turned towards social activism,
dedicating himself to bridging the gap between the police and the
communities they are supposed to serve. With a voice filled with
"healing, triumph, and resilience" (Shaka Senghor, bestselling
author of Writing My Wrongs), Ford offers fresh, counterintuitive
ways we can effect social change. Leon shows us how, together, we
can move away from retribution and towards transformative justice
in order to end police brutality and heal as a country. As he once
said, "Lead with love. Start compassionate conversations even with
individuals and systems that have caused you pain. I know from
experience that you can make your pain purposeful."
Taking off the wraps once more, but this time the action moves to
China for round three of the Mummy adventure. For 2,000 years the
ruthless Chinese Dragon Emperor (Jet Li) and his vast army of
warriors have been frozen in time, cast in clay, waiting for their
moment to rise again. When young archaeologist Alex O'Connell (Luke
Ford) is duped into bringing the ancient warlord back to life, he
soon realises he has to call in the only people he knows with
experience and knowledge of how to battle the undead - his parents,
father Rick (Brendan Fraser) and mother Evelyn (Maria Bello). As
the emperor attempts to re-unite with his massed warriors and
finally fulfil his dream of world domination, Alex and his family,
along with mystical, high-kicking sorceress Zi Juan (Michelle Yeoh)
and a rival cast of undead, have to pull out all the stops to keep
the evil tyrant from achieving his ends.
Two renowned theologians open up the reality of God's glory in this
book, offering readers a dynamic foundation for glorifying God in
the twenty-first century. Drawing from Christian spirituality,
liturgy, poetry, hymns, iconography, seminal "glory" texts in the
Bible, the Nicene Creed, and theologians throughout the ages who
caught sight of the glory of God in diverse ways, this book
explores the immensely rich and generative soteriological theme of
glorification. It shows students how to integrate theology into the
life of faith and demonstrates how the practices of Christian
worship influence theological thinking. Metaphors, descriptions,
evocations, concepts, narratives, and more highlight the amazing,
abundant reality of glorification. This is the first book in the
Soteriology and Doxology series. These introductory textbooks cover
key topics in soteriology, providing substantive treatments of
doctrine while pointing to the setting of theology in doxology.
Series editors are Kent Eilers and Kyle C. Strobel.

Collection of two comedies. In 'No Strings Attached' (2011), when
long-time friends Emma (Natalie Portman) and Adam (Ashton Kutcher)
decide to add a physical dimension to their relationship and move
into 'friends with benefits' territory, they agree to keep things
strictly casual and on a 'no strings' basis. But before long both
of them find things becoming more complicated than planned as those
pesky emotions get in the way. In 'Morning Glory' (2010), a sparky,
ambitious young television producer spies an opportunity to claw
her way up the career ladder when she is offered a job on
'Daybreak', the worst-performing morning chat show in the ratings.
Her decision to hire veteran newscaster Mike Pomeroy (Harrison
Ford) to host the show meets with scepticism from network executive
Jerry (Jeff Goldblum) and co-host Colleen Peck (Diane Keaton), and
with little enthusiasm from Pomeroy himself, who is obliged by his
contract to take this less-than-promising gig. Can Becky overcome
the poor ratings and in-fighting to bring the team together and
transform the show into something to be proud of?
Framed for a murder she did not commit and sentenced to hang,
Esmerelda's only hope for survival is the bell-ringer, Quasimodo,
and an unlikely friendship is formed. This engaging story is
presented as an exciting and fast-paced graphic novel which remains
faithful to Victor Hugo's original text. Specially commissioned
full-colour artwork brings excitement and atmosphere to this
classic tale. Speech bubbles work with the main text to emphasise
and enhance the retelling. A running glossary at the foot of each
page helps young readers with any challenging vocabulary without
disrupting their reading experience. The highly visual nature of
comic book storytelling, small amounts of text and easy-to-follow
sequential ordering of the picture strips are a brilliant way for
young readers who're challenged or intimidated by reading to
improve their literacy skills.

zombies with weapons as diverse as a sledgehammer and a samurai
sword. 'Abraham Lincoln Vs Zombies' (2012) is a tongue-in-cheek
zombie horror in which Abraham Lincoln is distracted from his
composition of the Gettysburg Address by a more pressing concern -
an outbreak of the undead. Lincoln (Bill Oberst Jr.) leads a team

story. 'The Dead' (2010) is a zombie horror set in West Africa.

The worst thing that a parent can ever go through is the loss of a
child. The pain, the emptiness, the guilt and the sadness that you
feel, is like no other. Does it get any easier? Yes, it does. Will
your heart ever mend? Yes, it will. But it does take time to heal.
Jenny lost her little girl twenty-eight years ago - a long time.
But had she healed? Not as much as she thought. That was until she
decided to write this book and share her story with the world. "I'm
sharing this heartbreaking time of my life to let other parents
know that it's okay to feel the way they do. I want to let people
know that talking about their feelings, their sorrow, their
worries, their pain - but also their joy, could help them to grieve
and be more at peace with themselves and the world around them -
just like I have!" - Jenny Ford This book supports Child
