Inspired by real events and from the director of The Full Monty (Peter Cattaneo), Military Wives is the heartfelt story of friendship, love, and support on the home front.
When Kate persuades a disparate group of women on the base to form the Military Wives Choir, Lisa is initially sceptical and embarrassed by such an amateur bunch. However, she is quickly transformed by the choir's friendship, humour and courage.
Finding their voice together, Kate, Lisa and the choir put aside their own personal differences and, by singing their hearts out, bring joy, hope and strength to the world.

Ships in 10 - 20 working days

Robert Pattinson and Uma Thurman star in this sumptuous Paris-set
period drama based on the novella by Guy de Maupassant. Georges
Duroy (Pattinson) is a suave and handsome young journalist using
his wits and powers of manipulation to make his way in 1890s Paris.
In order to ascend the social ladder, Duroy seduces a string of
influential society beauties including Madeleine Forestier
(Thurman), Virginie Walters (Kristen Scott Thomas) and Clotilde de
Marelle (Christina Ricci). His peasant background has soon become a
distant memory as he achieves dizzying success both in his career
and in fashionable society.
An almost universal driving force for contemporary change in
universities is the shifting view of higher education as more of a
private than a public good. Towards the Private Funding of Higher
Education presents a contemporary global picture of this move
towards the privatisation of higher education, and examines how
these shifts in ideology and funding priorities have significant
policy implications. The resulting developments, such as the
imposition and escalation of student tuition fees and the emergence
of online providers of higher education, emerge out of a
combination of economic, political and ideological pressures,
further enhanced by technological changes. By using multiple
international and regional examples to analyse the various
pressures for privatisation, this book examines the different forms
privatisation has taken, whilst offering an analytical
interpretation of why the privatisation drive emerged, why it has
been resisted in some instances and what forms it is likely to
assume in the future. Towards the Private Funding of Higher
Education illustrates and challenges the emergence of a new
relationship between the university, government and society. It is
an essential read for higher education professors, university
managers and higher education policy makers across the world.

Clinicians and managers are increasingly required to participate in
or manage new initiatives which depend heavily on co-operation
collaboration and a multidisciplinary approach where effective
interpersonal and group skills are of vital importance. This
practical guide encourages the reader to determine how their
organisations work and the impact they have on their members. It
draws on the experiences of primary care research and development
projects and contains numerous case studies tips and techniques to
manage change. It is an essential guide for healthcare
professionals in primary care and will equip those working in
practice and facilitators working with practices with a clear
understanding of how to achieve successful acceptance and
management of change.
This is the first workbook that introduces the multilevel approach
to modeling with categorical outcomes using IBM SPSS Version 20.
Readers learn how to develop, estimate, and interpret multilevel
models with categorical outcomes. The authors walk readers through
data management, diagnostic tools, model conceptualization, and
model specification issues related to single-level and multilevel
models with categorical outcomes. Screen shots clearly demonstrate
techniques and navigation of the program. Modeling syntax is
provided in the appendix. Examples of various types of categorical
outcomes demonstrate how to set up each model and interpret the
output. Extended examples illustrate the logic of model
development, interpretation of output, the context of the research
questions, and the steps around which the analyses are structured.
Readers can replicate examples in each chapter by using the
corresponding data and syntax files available at
www.psypress.com/9781848729568. The book opens with a review of
multilevel with categorical outcomes, followed by a chapter on IBM
SPSS data management techniques to facilitate working with
multilevel and longitudinal data sets. Chapters 3 and 4 detail the
basics of the single-level and multilevel generalized linear model
for various types of categorical outcomes. These chapters review
underlying concepts to assist with trouble-shooting common
programming and modeling problems. Next population-average and
unit-specific longitudinal models for investigating individual or
organizational developmental processes are developed. Chapter 6
focuses on single- and multilevel models using multinomial and
ordinal data followed by a chapter on models for count data. The
book concludes with additional trouble shooting techniques and tips
for expanding on the modeling techniques introduced. Ideal as a
supplement for graduate level courses and/or professional workshops
on multilevel, longitudinal, latent variable modeling, multivariate
statistics, and/or advanced quantitative techniques taught in
psychology, business, education, health, and sociology, this
practical workbook also appeals to researchers in these fields. An
excellent follow up to the authors' highly successful Multilevel
and Longitudinal Modeling with IBM SPSS and Introduction to
Multilevel Modeling Techniques, 2nd Edition, this book can also be
used with any multilevel and/or longitudinal book or as a
stand-alone text introducing multilevel modeling with categorical
outcomes.

Many ministry leaders serving in churches find themselves
overwhelmed, disillusioned, and depressed by the enormous and
challenging task of leading and serving others. When leaders aren t
healthy, the result is often an unhealthy church. Leaders need
someone to shepherd their soul so that they can then lead others to
the Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Every church leader---from
fulltime ministers to volunteer leaders---needs a Gospel Coach who
will come alongside them with words drawn from Scripture and godly
wisdom, grounded in the gracious saving work of Jesus Christ, and
presented in the context of a trusting relationship. Gospel
coaching is an intentional relationship of skillful caring for
others based on four ancient shepherding principles: 1) Know the
sheep 2) Feed the sheep 3) Lead the sheep 4) Protect the sheep
Gospel coaches inquire about the personal, spiritual, and missional
aspects of a leader s life in a loving yet focused manner, probing
the heart for compulsive unbelief or selfish motivation,
disobedience, and sin, leading them back to the Gospel through
belief, repentance, and obedience."

Vocabulary forms the building blocks of language learning, and it
is essential for learners to expand their vocabulary - whether for
active communication, or passive oral understanding or written
comprehension. However, most existing vocabulary books don't
provide any assistance in actually learning and assimilating the
words - the student might as well just look words up in a
dictionary.In answer to this need, The Big Red Book of Spanish
Vocabulary is a unique reference that provides students with a
tremendous resource by combining three key, complementary
approaches to vocabulary building:* Cognates: the easiest way to
build vocabulary - by learning words in Spanish that are similar to
the English meaning. This section contains 14,000 cognates
thematically arranged into 20 thematic groups, which are further
divided into 100 topics.* Root families: another key way to expand
vocabulary is to learn related word families that have the same
root. This section contains 14,000 terms grouped by 2,200 root
categories. The headwords (the most commonly used word in the
family) are ordered alphabetically.* Suffixes: more than most
languages, Spanish relies on suffixes to denote parts of speech and
convey nuances of meaning. This section contains 130 of the most
common Spanish suffixes, grouped alphabetically. The meaning of
each suffix is explained, and then exemplified by an illustrative
list of words taking the suffix (4,000 words in all), their English
equivalent, and the stem to which it is related. These three
sections are complimented by a Frequency Index that lists the 5,000
most frequently used words in Spanish. The 1,000 most commonly used
words are illustrated by example sentences that provide contextual
usage. This index is cross-referenced to the Cognate, Root and
Suffix sections.In addition, an Alphabetical Index cross-references
all the entries in the Root, Suffix and Frequency sections.
