"Sharp and seductive...a fantasy with teeth." --Julie C. Dao,
author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns on The Keeper of Night In
this riveting sequel to The Keeper of Night, a half Reaper, half
Shinigami soul collector must defend her title as Japan's Death
Goddess from those who would see her--and all of Japan--destroyed.
Death is her dynasty. Ren Scarborough is no longer the girl who was
chased out of England--she is the Goddess of Death ruling Japan's
underworld. But Reapers have recently been spotted in Japan, and
it's only a matter of time before Ivy, now Britain's Death Goddess,
comes to claim her revenge. Ren's last hope is to appeal to the god
of storms and seas, who can turn the tides to send Ivy's ship away
from Japan's shores. But he'll only help Ren if she finds a sword
lost thousands of years ago--an impossible demand. Together with
the moon god Tsukuyomi, Ren ventures across the country in a race
against time. As her journey thrusts her in the middle of scheming
gods and dangerous Yokai demons, Ren will have to learn who she can
truly trust--and the fate of Japan hangs in the balance. Read the

You cannot create good without also creating evil. 'DAZZLING' Chloe
Gong Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for
her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to
eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she's trapped in
her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal
form of alchemy to keep food on the table - resurrecting the dead,
for a price. When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her
imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the
best alchemists in the country in tasks she'll be lucky to survive,
let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead
has followed her, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help,
suspecting a coming assassination attempt. The more Zilan succeeds
in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political
games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the
palace walls, and it's only a matter of time before they - and
secrets of Zilan's past - catch up with her. A dark YA fantasy
duology set in an alternate Tang Dynasty China, where alchemy has
led to income inequality as the rich eat gold to achieve eternal
youth, and a poor biracial girl with the ability to raise the dead
gets caught up in the dangerous political games of the royal
family.
This book focuses on neuroethics in higher education in the United
States. After introducing readers to the philosophical and policy
foundations of the neuroethics of higher education, this book
explores essential conundrums in the neuroethical practice of
higher education in modern democracies. Focusing on neuroethics
from the perspective of universally designed learning and policy
design sets this project apart from other work in the field.
Advances in neuroscience and changes in attitudes towards
disability have identified mechanisms by which higher education
infrastructures interact with both individuals considered
neurotypical and those with identified disabilities to diminish
students' capacity to enter, persist, and complete higher
education. Policy to date has focused on identified disabilities as
a requirement for accommodations. This strategy both underestimates
the effect of ill-fitting infrastructures on those considered
neurologically typical and serves to stratify the student body. As
a result, neuroethical gaps abound in higher education.
"Sharp and seductive...a fantasy with teeth." --Julie C. Dao,
author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns A girl of two worlds,
accepted by none... A half Reaper, half Shinigami soul collector
seeks her destiny in this haunting and compulsively readable dark
fantasy duology set in 1890s Japan. Death is her destiny. Half
British Reaper, half Japanese Shinigami, Ren Scarborough has been
collecting souls in the London streets for centuries. Expected to
obey the harsh hierarchy of the Reapers who despise her, Ren
conceals her emotions and avoids her tormentors as best she can.
When her failure to control her Shinigami abilities drives Ren out
of London, she flees to Japan to seek the acceptance she's never
gotten from her fellow Reapers. Accompanied by her younger brother,
the only being on earth to care for her, Ren enters the Japanese
underworld to serve the Goddess of Death...only to learn that here,
too, she must prove herself worthy. Determined to earn respect, Ren
accepts an impossible task--find and eliminate three dangerous
Yokai demons--and learns how far she'll go to claim her place at
Death's side. Don't miss the must-read sequel coming in 2022!

Law and Neurodiversity offers invaluable guidance on how autism
research can inform juvenile justice policies in Canada and the
United States. In Canada, the diversion of youth away from formal
processing has fostered community-based strategies for serving
those with autism. US policies rely more heavily on formal
responses, often employing juvenile custody facilities. Building on
a rigorous exploration of how assessment, rehabilitation, and
community re-entry differ between the two countries, Law and
Neurodiversity offers a much-needed comparative analysis of autism
and juvenile justice policies on both sides of the forty-ninth
parallel.
