Part of our collection of Young Adult Classics, this stunning
Carnegie-winning tale takes us to a world of darkness and ice,
where a shaman and a prince fight for their freedom. In the darkest
hour of a freezing Midwinter, a night-walking witch adopts a
newborn baby and carries her off in her house on chicken legs. She
names her Chingis and teaches her the Three Magics. She grows into
such a powerful witch that she rouses the jealousy of Kuzma, the
bear-shaman. The Czar of this cold realm fears his newborn son,
Safa, will out do him, and so imprisons the baby at the top of a
tall tower, to live and die there without ever glimpsing the real
world. Loneliness and confinement drive him to rage and despair
until Chingis hears the crying of his trapped spirit and frees him.
But now their enemies unite against them, with steel and deadly
magic. Chingis and Safa's quest for freedom will take them even
through the Ghost World into the Land of the Dead. A timeless and
atmospheric tale of fierce magic. 'Richly emotional and lavishly
written.' Times Literary Supplement 'Truly stunning and original.'
Kirkus 'Highly original, multidimensional tale.' Booklist
Game Changers have the skills, courage and power to change the
world! Read about eight game-changing scientists who all shared the
same motto in life: 'nullius in verba' - 'take no one's word for
it'. They asked the questions and gathered the evidence that shaped
our understanding of modern science. From Isaac Newton who
established the laws of motion still used by engineers and
scientists today, to Marie Curie, who won two Nobel prizes in
recognition of her work on radiation and radioactivity, and Tu
YouYou, the Chinese scientist who discovered a cure for malaria
that has saved millions of lives. Game Changers: Super Scientists

This study, first published in 1990, presents a comprehensive
description of the comparative constructions of Spanish and French,
and shows that the apparently numerous differences in their
syntactic realisations can be accounted for by general constraints
on the expression of comparison. There is also a discussion of
parallel constructions in other Romance languages, showing that
these languages display a range of constructions equally compatible
with the suggested pattern of possibilities resulting from the
general constraints proposed. This title will be of interest to
students of language and linguistics.

This is the English edition of the classic Russian textbook
designed for parents to teach their children "all the fundamental
points of the Orthodox Christian faith and way of life." Because
children are growing up quickly in a society that raises serious
and agonizing questions the author does not teach in naive stories
that remain stories only. It offers an overview of the whole of the
Old and New Testaments as well as instruction on prayer, worship
and what it means to live by the teaching of the Ten Commandments
and the Beatitudes. Lavishly bound and made to last. Well
illustrated with black and white photographs and icons.

school. In additional to the stories, the collection offers tips
for reading the stories together, extended story texts that parents
can read aloud to their child, and story maps that children can use
to help retell the story in their own words. Featuring much-loved
characters, great authors, engaging storylines and fun activities,
