Adnan is the heartwarming story of a refugee boy’s attempts to
heal his mother’s mental health issues with the power of his
creativity as they rebuild their lives in their new home.
Sometimes, when something sad happens, people can push it so far
down because it hurts too much. That’s why Mummy doesn’t
remember. This touching and sensitively told children's book is a
story about a boy and his mother, about trauma and recovery, and
how to deal with the challenges of mental health. It tells
the story of an imaginative ten year old Syrian refugee boy
who has had to flee his home country with his mother. Now settled
in the UK, he must use all his creativity to break through his
mother’s PTSD or risk losing her forever. The book is based on a
short film of the same name, which has collected multiple awards
and made Official Selection at its first Oscar-qualifier. Inspired
by her own experiences as a refugee, Syrian artist Diala Brisly’s
illustrations are powerful and evocative, highlighting the contrast
between Adnan’s hope and the helplessness of the mother. The
charity Choose Love will receive 2% of the book’s recommended
retail price on every copy sold. Choose Love (formerly Help
Refugees) go where the need is greatest. They fill the gaps and act
where others won’t. Sometimes that means search and rescue boats.
Sometimes it means providing food or safe, secure long-term housing
for refugees. Since 2015, they’ve supported over 120 incredible
projects and reached over one million people.
The acclaimed live action retelling of the animated classic.
A struggling merchant stumbles upon the magical domain of the fearsome Beast, who sentences him to death for stealing a rose. The merchant’s youngest daughter Belle bravely sacrifices herself and takes her father’s place.
Once at the Beast’s castle, it is not death that awaits Belle, but a strange and fantastical life unlike anything she has ever experienced… and the discovery that her mysterious host is living under a terrible enchantment. As Belle valiantly attempts to release the Beast from his curse, the two discover that a most unlikely bond blooms between them… true love.
This clever and funny inversion on a classic fairytale from
award-winning author Bethan Stevens tells the laugh-out-loud story
of a damsel who does not need saving! Once upon a time, hidden deep
in a valley in a magical land far away, there was a very tall
tower. And trapped at the very top of that very tall tower there
was a damsel . . . In distress! The only problem is, the damsel is
not in distress. She keeps telling the narrator that she's
perfectly fine. The "terrifying beasts"Â in the moat are a
family of ducklings. The "prickly brambles"Â are her rose
garden. And the "wicked old witch"Â is actually her grandma!
But the narrator just won't listen. When a scary, fire-breathing
dragon comes to visit, it's up to the damsel to take charge of her
story and save the day for everyone. Characterful
illustrations transport readers to the magical world of the
damsel's kingdom, and easy to read text is perfect for young
readers. This funny follow-up to the prize-winning Grumpy
Fairies is perfect for any young damsel—or prince
charming—who wants to be the hero of their own story.

solutions that we are unwilling to take the time and effort to
understand and meet the real customer needs.

When it comes to Irish America, certain names spring to mind
Kennedy, O'Neill and Curley testify to the proverbial footsteps of
the Gael in Boston. However, few people know of Sister Mary Anthony
O'Connell, whose medical prowess carried her from the convent to
the Civil War battlefields, earning her the nickname the Boston
Irish Florence Nightingale, or of Barney McGinniskin, Boston's
first Irish cop, who proudly roared at every roll call, McGinniskin

many forgotten Irish Americans garnered numerous historical firsts.
In "Hidden History of the Boston Irish," Peter F. Stevens offers an
entertaining and compelling portrait of the Irish immigrant saga
and pays homage to the overlooked, yet significant, episodes of the
Boston Irish experience.

Elgar Research Agendas outline the future of research in a given
area. Leading scholars are given the space to explore their subject
in provocative ways, and map out the potential directions of
travel. They are relevant but also visionary. This
thought-provoking Research Agenda examines themes within economic
studies that have become active areas of commentary for economists
of the Austrian School. Contributors establish their own
distinctive interpretations of how an Austrian Research Agenda
should appear, clearly demonstrating there is no set dogma within
Austrian economics. Chapters provide state-of-the-art dialogues
surrounding the many complex dimensions of Austrian economics,
including the School’s responses to behavioral economics and the
theory of public goods. This book portrays Austrian economics as
constantly evolving and its ultimate endeavour is to prompt further
contributions and discussions surrounding the Austrian School. This
erudite Research Agenda will be highly beneficial for graduate
students studying political economics, market processes and
economic development, seeking to understand the unique dimensions
of Austrian economics. It will also be of great value to academics
endeavouring to conduct comparative studies of different economic
schools of thought.
