Classic comedy starring George Formby as a man who heads to London
in search of fame only to find himself accused of murder. George
Trotter (Formby) is convinced he will make it on stage and duly
checks in at Ma Tubbs (Hilda Mundy)'s theatrical boarding house.
Unfortunately for George, when the performer in the next room,
acrobat Tom Driscoll (Dennis Wyndham), is found murdered, George is
Chief Inspector Twyning (Ian Fleming)'s prime suspect. Can George
find out the true identity of the killer, or will his attempts to
solve the case only provide further evidence for the police to use
against him?

1940s comedy starring George Formby as a junior council employee
who gets caught up in a town planning dispute. There should be
unity and happiness in the small town of Tangleton - the war has
just been won and plans can be made to rebuild the town for a
better future. However, when the council tea boy, George Gribble
(Formby), is sent to conduct a survey on how the townspeople feel
about the council's proposed post-war 'improvements' he is
surprised to discover just how poor and unhappy the ordinary people
of Tangleton are. When the bigwigs on the council decide to bury
the survey and proceed with the plans anyway, George teams up with
an eccentric inventor, Sir Timothy Strawbridge (Robertson Hare),
and his charming daughter, Jane (Elizabeth Allan), to give a voice
to the town's poor and downtrodden.

There is widespread concern in all English speaking countries at
the rapid decline in study of languages. The promise of 'languages
for all' in the UK and North America in the 1970s marked a shift
from languages as elite subjects for the privileged few, but this
promise has not been fulfilled. This book explores the reasons for
and solutions to this decline. More importantly, it looks at how
these trends have been reversed in successful school programs and
the implications of this for language education policy makers. The
study draws on an analysis of data from 600 primary, secondary and
community languages schools over six years and from detailed case
studies in a representative sample of 45 successful schools. The
book proposes a range of strategies to address the decline: from
engaging classroom learning, assessment outcomes and embedding
languages as central in school curriculum on the one level, to a
mix of incentives and mandation for language study, especially at
upper secondary school level. The authors explore the impact of
learning languages on the thinking, educational experiences and
outcomes of young people across a range of ethnic backgrounds and
socioeconomic statuses. They show the importance of having equal
access to languages study in a world where young people will have
increasingly more diverse working lives and argue that the gap in
languages between policy and uptake is really a gap in the thinking
of policy makers and government.

Adopting a ‘social practice’ approach to literacy research
based on ethnographic methods, this book provides a strong critique
of dominant understandings of the role of literacy in the lives of
adults in Australia. It explores how groups of working-class adults
can manage the literacy practices of their everyday lives by
drawing on social networks of support. It is based on research
conducted by the author over a forty-year career in adult literacy
education, featuring the voices of varied adult groups, including:
prisoners, the long-term unemployed, local council workers,
manufacturing workers, adult literacy students, marginalised young
people, vocational students, and patients living with a chronic
illness (type 2 diabetes). Each chapter explains how dominant
society views these adult groups in relation to literacy, and
provides a qualitative examination at the local level of how
members of these groups manage the literacy practices of their
everyday lives.

Reminiscent of "The Twilight Zone," take a walk though the journey
of the 13 twisted tales in Acute Angles: Tales From The Edge We
Dare Not Walk. These chilling stories guide you through the dark
where villains aren't always villains and heroes do what they must.
It is a collection where the only honest view is slightly skewed.
From a wife being accused of murder, to a husband exacting his
vengeance on a would-be rapist, to the government's cover-up of
UFOs, and a battle where you will never look at your neighbor's
garden the same way again. Questions will linger in your mind as to
what you perceive to be right or wrong. Either way, Acute Angles
meanders an eerie path that you won't want to miss! About the
Author: Houston native Stephen Black is already working on his next
book, based on his grandmother. She was born in Chicago in the
early 1920s to Polish and German immigrants, where her family had
direct ties to Al Capone. Publisher's Website:
