You've Reached Sam meets The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue in this heart-breaking, life-affirming love story about two outcasts learning how to live - even after death. Mal Caldera - famous musician, retired wild-child and excommunicated black sheep of her Catholic family - is dead. Not that she cares. She only feels bad that her younger sister, Cris, has been left with the wrong impression of Mal's - definitely accidental - death. Ignoring the warnings of the mysterious leader of the local ghosts, Alastair, who is determined to recruit Mal and her musical talents to his chorus of the undead, Mal sets out to make contact with Cris from beyond the grave. Mal manages to track down Ren, a psychic who doesn’t believe in psychics. Together, they concoct a plan to pass on a message to Cris. But the more time they spend together, the more both begin to wonder what might have been if they'd met before Mal died. Mal soon learns there's a very good reason Alastair and the other spirits choose to dance and debauch their nights away instead of staying close to their families. And, selfish though she's always been, Mal can't help but worry that their budding relationship has made Ren a little too comfortable hanging out with the dead. If either of them are going to make the most of the rest of their time on earth, both Mal and Ren must learn to really live as they never have before.

In Fluid, revolutionary fashion designer Harris Reed introduces the world to a new era in fluid fashion. At the centre of Harris Reed’s sartorial journey has always been his desire to change the way people express their identities through clothing. Fluidity’s essence is adaptable, evolutionary, and dynamic, and Harris’s work constantly disrupts the divide between men's and women's clothing. His pieces have been worn by Harry Styles, Adele, Sam Smith, Iman, and Beyoncé—and with each piece he has generated an instantly iconic cultural moment, pushing conversations about gender expression into the mainstream. Fluid examines historical antecedents of fluidity, questions old power structures, and urges people to find their authentic selves in this new avenue of fashion. With stunning photography, resplendent fashion, and illustrations of Harris's design process, Fluid takes readers beyond the idea of clothes as mere garments, reasoning that clothes are a nexus of art, philosophy, and history that can be used to help shape our culture and challenge understandings of gender. With this book, Harris Reed affirms that fluid is the future of fashion.

Explore the web of factors that influence your power as a teacher-and how you can better use that power to foster student agency and empowerment. What kind of power do teachers have? What influences their instructional decision making-and how does that affect students, particularly Black students and other students of color? How can educators move away from practices that oppress and devalue students to practices that support and empower them? These are just a few of the questions that author Tanji Reed Marshall answers in Understanding Your Instructional Power. Countering the notion that teachers are powerless in the classroom, she introduces the Power Principle to help teachers unpack how they understand and use the power associated with their authority and responsibility as an educator. Drawing from her own experience as a classroom teacher and coach, Reed Marshall explains how the Power Principle reveals itself through various elements, including language use (by both students and teachers), "hidden curriculum," and classroom culture. She identifies four levels of curricular autonomy that teachers have (Unfettered, Calibrated, Restricted, and Minimal) and four dimensions of instructional power that characterize their classroom environment (Empowering, Agentive, Protective, and Disenfranchising). Reflection exercises throughout the book guide readers through a deep analysis of their personal and professional histories and ideologies, including how these influence students' learning experiences. Reed Marshall shares her own journey of setbacks and progress as she offers support and encouragement to K-12 teachers seeking to use their power in productive ways so that all students can bring their full selves to class and receive the education they deserve.

Brilliantly portrayed by a novelist with a talent for hyperbole and downright yarning unequaled since Mark Twain, (Saturday Review), this slave's-eye view of the Civil War exposes America's racial foibles of the past and present with uninhibited humor and panache.Mixing history, fantasy, political reality, and comedy, Ishmael Reed spins the tale of three runaway slaves and the master determined to catch them. His on-target parody of fugitive slave narratives and other literary forms includes a hero who boards a jet bound for Canada; Abraham Lincoln waltzing through slave quarters to the tune of Hello, Dolly; and a plantation mistress entranced by TV's Beecher Hour. Filled with insights into the political consciences (or lack thereof) of both blacks and whites, Flight to Canada confirms Reed's status as a great writer (James Baldwin).A demonized Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that reinvents the particulars of slavery in America with comic rage. -- The New York Times Book ReviewWears the mantle of Baldwin and Ellison like a high-powered Flip Wilson in drag...a terrifically funny book. -- Baltimore Sun
