Return to the underwater realm . . .
Following the infiltration of Hok Woh and possession of her friends, Zhi Ging sets out on a dangerous mission to find Reishi, the Silhouette Scout, whom she believes has been lured into a dangerous trap.
With her adorable now-phoenix Malo by her side, Zhi Ging must fight off dangerous sand spirits, power-hungry enemies and magnificent dragons if she is to save her friends and her new home in the world of the immortals.
But as secrets are uncovered and new enemies emerge, can Zhi Ging figure out who to trust? And, more importantly, how to survive?
Join Zhi Ging and return to the magical underwater realm of Hok Woh in this highly anticipated follow-up to Paper Dragons: The Fight for the Hidden Realm. Perfect for fans of Nevermoor and Dragon Mountain.
There’s history as it’s told, and then there’s history as it
actually happened. You may think you know the stories behind the
world’s most well-known, groundbreaking achievements, but To Her
Credit is here to make you reevaluate our collective story as it
has been written. This book celebrates the stories of women, from
ancient times until the 1990s, whose contributions have been
overwritten and, far too often, accredited to men. The pattern of
female achievements being stolen, overwritten, or straight-up
ignored is as old as time. Authors Kaitlin Culmo and Emily
McDermott—with stunning art by Kezia Gabriella—reclaim the work
of these deserving heroines and offer reminders of what we lose
when we don’t question history as it has been written. We’re
often told that Cervantes “invented fiction†with the novel Don
Quixote in 17th century Europe, but what about Lady Murasaki’s
The Tale of Genji in 11th-century Japan? Elvis Presley is widely
considered as “The King†and—for all intents and
purposes—the inventor of rock and roll music. But what about
Sister Rosetta Tharpe, who was the first to engineer the rock and
roll sound, or Big Mama Thornton, for whom the song “Hound Dogâ€
was explicitly written? Albert Einstein is a household name and so
too is his famed equation E = mc2. But what about his first wife,
Mileva Marić, who not only helped with the Nobel Prize–winning
discovery, but also collaborated with Albert throughout the pivotal
early years of his career? Â This book tells the stories of
women who have been left out of history’s accolades. It’s time
to talk about the thousands of years’ worth of art, inventions,
innovations, and world-changing achievements made by women that
have been ascribed to men. Â
How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up is your ultimate ANTI life coach. Be warned: whatever you do, don’t do the opposite of what you learn here or else you’re in serious danger of making some positive changes and leading a more successful life.
How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up turns the concept of self-improvement on its head. It brings together 43 and a half leading ideas in personal and business development, and offers a total antidote to the motivational, gung-ho, over-enthused tone of all the usual self-improvement guides.
Delivered in fast, easily digestible chunks, in a style that makes you laugh while you learn, this book offers tongue-in-cheek advice about what not to do to ensure certain failure in every aspect of your life. From not having any goals, to not getting advice from people you’ve never met or who are dead, to not taking personal responsibility for your life and results, every idea, strategy, suggestion and story is guaranteed to propel you into the slow lane of total inadequacy and has been tested with thousands of real people.
How to be a Complete and Utter F**k Up comes with a warning – that you don’t think about taking the direct opposite steps to those outlined in the guide, as this could seriously damage your chances of becoming a failure. Behind the humour, though, is good advice and a serious message. And whether you choose to heed the warning or not, it’s an extremely entertaining read.

Sometimes worries can stop you from having the most wonderful
adventures... just talking to someone can help make these worries
smaller or even disappear! I hope 'Worry Wart' will encourage
children to talk about their feelings with one another and adults
alike.

The Yahway Bible study guide series. What's the Good News for
today? "What's the Good News for today?" is the first book in the
Yahway Bible study guide series. This book looks at the four
Gospels. It is for Christians of all ages, whether they have found
God for decades or searching for answers in today's fast and busy
world. This guide will compliment your reading of the Gospels and
help you read them in a new and exciting way. Once you have read
the chapter of the Gospel, read the accompanying commentary to help
you reflect on the passage. These commentaries consist of
highlights from that chapter, prayers, spiritual exercises and
modern day parables based on those in the Gospels. This guide also
asks questions directed to Jesus, questions I would like to have
asked him over 2,000 years ago. The Word of God is as alive today
as it was in the beginning...John McDermott studied Theology at
Glasgow University and obtained a Bachelor of Divinity degree with
Distinction, after qualifying as a Biochemist two years previously.

This Elgar Introduction provides an overview of some of the key
theories that inform human resource management and employment
relations as a field of study. Leading scholars in the field
explore theories in the context of contemporary debates concerning
policies that affect and regulate work and the management of
employment, as well as the activities and experiences of actors
within the employment relationship. The book is divided into three
sections to capture different theoretical lenses used to reflect on
HRM and ER concerns about work: systems and historical development;
institutions; and people and processes. Expert contributors have
drawn on extensive research experience to present a contemporary
understanding of a range of theories, how they evolved, and how
they might be used in the future. Essential reading for HRM, ER and
management scholars and research students, this book challenges
readers to reassess their thinking about the significance of theory
in research and practice.
