Kimi Räikkönen is the Finnish superstar Formula One driver with a reputation for being fast on the track and silent off it – until now!
In this superb and authorised portrait of Räikkönen, Kari Hotakainen gets to reveal the side of the man that few beyond his close family and friends have ever seen. Enigmatic and private, Ferrari’s former world champion driver rarely opens up to outsiders, but he granted Hotakainen exclusive access to his world and to his way of thinking. It ensures that this will be a book that will delight all fans of motorsport, who have long revered the Finn.
Including never-previously-seen photographs from his own collection, The Unknown Kimi Räikkönen takes the reader into the heart of the action at grands prix around the world, behind the scenes as race strategies are planned, and opens up the private side of his life that he normally guards so carefully.
With all the cult appeal of I Am Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the raw excitement of Formula One and the insight of the best biographies, this is a book every sports fan will want to treasure.

This essential Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and
critical assessment of the global governance instruments related to
business and human rights from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Contributions from a diverse range of leading international
scholars offer an overview of the existing literature and
rapidly-evolving research discipline, as well as identifying key
trends and outlining an ambitious future research agenda. The
Research Handbook first examines governance initiatives that
operate across economic sectors, discussing both public and private
initiatives at state, regional and international levels that seek
to develop, implement and enforce rules with regard to the impacts
of transnational business activities on human rights. Chapters then
investigate particular economic sectors – including textiles,
electronics, agro-chemical, construction, and finance – to assess
the ways in which different initiatives attempt to mitigate risks
and address business-related human rights abuses. Scholars of law,
regulatory governance, global governance, management, human rights
and social sciences who are interested in gaining a deeper
understanding of the emerging business and human rights regime will
find this Research Handbook a crucial read. It will also prove a
useful and thorough introduction for students, scholars and
practitioners new to the field of business and human rights.

Collection of feature-length animated adventures set in a Lego
version of the DC universe. In 'Justice League: Cosmic Clash'
(2016) the Justice League must defend Earth from Brainiac (voice of
Phil LaMarr), a supercomputer that travels through space collecting
planets, but with his sights set firmly on Earth, the heroes are
going to have their work cut out. To make matters worse, as well as
being seemingly impenetrable, Brainiac also has the ability to bend
time. With members of the Justice League flung into different
periods in Earth's history, will they be able to unite and defeat
the dastardly foe? In 'Justice League: Attack of the Legion of
Doom' (2015) evil Lex Luthor (John DiMaggio) forms a group of
supervillains known as the Legion of Doom and plots to take over
the world leaving the Justice League members, including Batman
(Troy Baker), Superman (Nolan North), Wonder Woman (Grey Griffin),
The Flash (James Arnold Taylor) and Green Lantern (Josh Keaton), to
save the day. In 'Justice League: Gotham City Breakout' (2016)
Batman reluctantly takes a holiday from fighting crime, with the
members of the Justice League agreeing to protect Gotham City while
he is gone. However, problems arise when the Joker (Jason Spisak)
and the other villains breakout of Arkham Asylum. In 'Justice
League Vs. Bizarro League' (2015) Superman decides he can no longer
contain his evil mirror image Bizarro (North) in Metropolis and
decides to send him back to his home planet. Once there the
destructive clone forms his own rival group of superheroes to fight
back. But when Darkseid (Tony Todd) threatens Bizarro's planet and
the entire galaxy, Superman and the rest of the Justice League are
forced to join forces with their polar opposites in the newly
formed Bizarro League to defeat Darkseid and restore order to their
universe.
These days, it seems that everyone has a strong opinion about how
to teach young children to read. Some may brush off the current
tension as nothing more than one more round of ""the reading
wars."" Others may avoid the clash altogether due to the
uncivilized discourse that sometimes results. Certainly, sorting
the signal from the noise is no easy task.In this leading-edge
book, authors Jan Burkins and Kari Yates address this tension as a
critical opportunity to look closely at the research, reevaluate
current practices, and embrace new possibilities for an even
stronger enactment of balanced literacy. From phonological
processing to brain research to orthographic mapping to
self-teaching hypothesis, Shifting the Balance cuts through the
rhetoric (and the sciencey science) to offer readers a practical
guide to decision-making about beginning reading instruction. The
authors honor the balanced literacy perspective while highlighting
common practices to reconsider and revise - all through a lens of
what's best for the students sitting in front of us. Â Across
six shifts, each chapter identifies a common instructional practice
to reconsider explores various misunderstandings that establish and
keep that practice in play shares scientific research to support
its reconsideration proposes an instructional shift to apply a new
perspective, and details several high-leverage instructional
routines to support implementation of that shift. By pinpointing
gaps and overlaps - as well as common misunderstandings and missed
opportunities between the competing lines of thought - Jan and Kari
offer busy educators direction and clarification for integrating
science and balance into their daily instruction, while keeping
meaningful experiences with text a priority.

Humans have always used their hands to create the world around
them. But now most of us have gone from being practitioners to
theorists, from being producers to consumers. What happens to our
society when we are so divorced from the act of making? What
happens to us as individuals when we limit the uses to which we put
our hands? These are questions that preoccupy Siri Helle when she
inherits a cabin of 25 square metres, without electricity, inlet
water, or a loo, and decides to build an outhouse herself. Without
any previous experience of building anything, she has to learn on
the job and what she learns is not just about how to lay a floor
and construct walls, but about what she is capable of and about
craft and about the satisfactions to be found in making things by
hand. Written with humour and insight, Handmade is the inspiring
story of someone who tried to do it herself - and did.
This collection brings together three international and
contemporary plays that each denounce violence against women,
alongside interviews with the creators and practitioners who
brought them to life. With interviews with writers, directors and
producers, who discuss the conception and staging of their plays,
their hope is to de-glamourize the staging of violence, to give
voice to the survivors of gendered violence, and to create
awareness and empathy within the audiences. Little Stitches
(London, 2014): four short pieces by Isley Lynn, Raul Quiros Molina
, Bahar Brunton and Karis E. Halsall on the issue of Female Genital
Mutilation as seen from the point of view of by-standers, health
professionals, women who support the practice and, finally,
survivors. 'Kubra' (Sydney, 2016) by Dacia Maraini, features a
young female protagonist who was subjected to FGM/C as a child, and
now brings her case to court. Rape Trial (Rome, 2018), adapted for
theatre by Renato Chiocca from the international award-winning
documentary of the same title made for Italian state television in
1979, shows how attitudes toward sexual violence, and judicial
procedures, tend to turn rape survivors from accusers into accused,
in court and in everyday discourse.
