PRAISE FOR THE CONFESSIONS OF YOUNG NERO &ldquo;George&rsquo;s reconstruction of the man, in terms both of his public life and private character, is more than a revisiting of fact: It&rsquo;s a subtle exploration of identity and the insidious effects of power...&lsquo;Confessions&rsquo; is all about identity: How is it made, lost, reinvented?...Margaret George occupies that blurry space between history and fiction. And between Tacitus and Margaret George, I rather think it&rsquo;s George&rsquo;s account that is not only most sympathetic but most truthful.&rdquo;&mdash;Diana Gabaldon, Washington Post&#160; &ldquo;Margaret George has performed about the most audacious act imaginable for a historical novelist&mdash;an epic work of fiction not merely sympathetic to Nero, but told largely in his own voice. I applaud. And so, I imagine, does that connoisseur of the arts Nero, watching from Elysium.&rdquo;&mdash;Steven Saylor, author of Roma: The Novel of Ancient Rome &#160; &ldquo;[George] brilliantly recreates past eras and bygone civilizations.&rdquo;&mdash;Sharon Kay Penman, author of A King&rsquo;s Ransom &#160;&ldquo;A wonderful novel, from the riveting first scene to the breathtaking finale.&rdquo; &mdash;Jennifer Chiaverini, New York Times bestselling author of&#160;Fates and Traitors&#160;and&#160;Mrs.&#160;Lincoln&rsquo;s Dressmaker  &#160; &ldquo;Wow! Margaret George&mdash;the reigning queen of historical fiction&mdash;is back with this epic saga that vividly re-imagines the life of young Nero in all its operatic, dramatic glory.&rdquo;&mdash;Stephanie Dray, New York Times&#160;bestselling author of Lily of the Nile &#160; "Margaret George has an incredible talent in that she can stand in the shoes of her protagonist and speak in his or her voice.&rdquo;&mdash;Barbara Taylor Bradford, author of The Cavendon Luck and A Woman Of Substance

Bailey reveals in a clear and consistent fashion the main distinction between his own framework and synchronic models ... I commend the author and the publishers of this book.  ETLA is very well argued and written ... Further, and most importantly, Oxford University Press and the editors of this book are to be commended for making Bailey's most important work available to the linguistic community in a book that will be easy to obtain at university libraries and for
giving Bailey his due credit as one of the most original linguists of this century.  ETLA is an important contribution to linguistic theory and language variation and change ... I recommend this book to all linguistics students and scholars of historical linguistics, linguistic variation, and
linguistic theory ... This book should be in the library of anyone interested in linguistic theory, historical linguistics, and linguistic variation.

While David Lewin's thought had been animated for decades by some of these books' ideas—-the complex significance of interval, the audibility of pitch-class inversional indices, the definition of directed motion more by context than convention—-it was their concentrated presentation here that enabled many readers to assimilate them as a 'theory.' The result was a shift in the discipline's conception of its methods, even its goals, to the point where imitation of
the books (of their imitable aspects) could become a career path. In a renewed encounter with the originals, we are confronted once more by Lewin's intellectual probity, his intense concern with every construction's relation to hearing (which need not mean anything so simple as that every construction
is heard), his fastidious eschewal of hype. With these taken as exemplary, the field would change again.

‘This book gives full recognition that people who offend against the law often do so because of a myriad of individual and social problems, and in careful, thoughtful and insightful fashion the authors give attention to the need for better links between mental health, welfare and criminal justice systems. The contributors question and challenge received wisdom, law, and policy in relation to people who offend, and set out a new paradigm for effective work between forensic mental health and human support services. This is an excellent, authoritative and thought-provoking collection of essays.’- Professor Loraine Gelsthorpe, Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge and President of the British Society of Criminology, UK
‘Practitioners, policymakers, and researchers will all find this book valuable. The editors of this text define forensic mental health matters broadly and have assembled an international, interdisciplinary team of contributors. What results is a sharing of perspectives, paradigms, and strategies that is unmatched by any other publication devoted to forensic mental health administration, policy, and practice.’ - Randy K. Otto, Associate Professor, Departments of Mental Health Law and Policy, Psychology, and Criminology, University of South Florida, USA

Bewegung, Spiel und Kinderturnen bilden die Basis für eine gesunde intellektuelle, soziale und persönliche Entwicklung im Kindesalter. Deshalb stand die Förderung der Gesundheit von Kindern, vor allem über die sportliche Aktivität, im Mittelpunkt des Kinderturn-Kongresses 2013. Die Lebenssituation von Kindern befindet sich im Wandel. Bewegungsmangel, ein steigender Medienkonsum aber auch verändertes Essverhalten hinterlassen ihre Spuren. Um einen ganzheitlichen und gesunden Lebensstil bei Kindern zu erreichen, erwartete die Kongressteilnehmer ein umfassendes Programm mit interaktiven Vorträgen, Praxis- und Theoriekursen zu Themen wie Bewegtes Lernen, Inklusion und Erlebnispädagogik – auch aus dem Gastland Österreich. Bewegungsmöglichkeiten aufzeigen, Bewegungsfreude vermitteln, neue Trends

A Very Short Introduction

Artificial Intelligence

An engrossing and heart-wrenching history... Bass&#8217;s forthright, passionate prose and Lewis&#8217;s searing, expansively imagined watercolors take readers to a time and place when the New Frontier&#8217;s rockets heralded American exceptionalism and pride, while bigotry and discrimination were justified as &#8220;just the way it is.&#8221; ... Unflinchingly honest and jubilantly hopeful, this is nonfiction storytelling at its best.&#8212;Publishers Weekly (starred review)The use of present tense gives a great sense of immediacy to the text as it transports readers into the past to watch events unfold. The relatively peaceful changes in Huntsville are briefly contrasted with the violence in Birmingham around the same time. Capturing the period with finesse, Lewis&#8217; expressive watercolor paintings record the events and settings in beautifully composed scenes. His portrayal of people is particularly fine, conveying the personalities, attitudes, and emotions of individuals as well as the essential dignity of the nonviolent protesters. A valuable introduction to the civil rights period.&#8212;Booklist (starred review)Bass writes in the present tense with a conversational tone... She includes details that will resonate with children while also imparting an inspirational message, tinged with her own civic pride (she is a former resident of Huntsville), about community activism. ... A book that is as quietly inspiring as its subject.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsLewis&#8217;s trademark watercolor paintings pair perfectly with this lyrical recounting of events, and he masterfully moves between detailed illustrations depicting faces of grim determination of lunch counter patrons to the more impressionistic scenes of protesters facing water hoses. The book covers quite a bit of ground, both in time and content and can be long for a read-aloud, but it&#8217;s well worth the time to share such a moving, inspirational story.&#8212;School Library JournalMaking good use of the title metaphor, Bass does an excellent job of acknowledging difficulties&#8212;and harrowing events in other parts of the South&#8212;and work still to be done, while also emphasizing the &#8220;nonviolence and dignity, and cooperation and courage&#8221; of a community that carefully nurtured freedom, from seeds gently sown to &#8220;sweet fruit.&#8221; Lewis&#8217;s lovely, realistic paintings depict time and place, underscoring both the steely determination and soaring hopefulness of ordinary people dedicated to initiating change. Both informative and rousing, this book is a solid choice for studies of the civil rights movement and more generalized discussion of peaceful protest and the effectiveness of grass-roots efforts.&#8212;SLJ Curriculum ConnectionsE.B. Lewis&#8217;s watercolor illustrations depict the town, streets, and people with revealing heartfelt emotions but also representing civic pride in their community. This informative picture book shows a community creatively coming together without resorting to violence.&#8212;Literacy DailyThroughout this engaging story about Huntsville's peaceful uprising, Bass skillfully intertwines the history of the civil rights movement. Lewis's watercolor illustrations portray momentous events like snapshots in a photo album. "Seeds of Freedom" is a stirring revelation of how the skirmishes and successes of one community caused a giant ripple across the nation.&#8212;Children's BookwatchAn extraordinarily powerful true story, this selection is a must-read.&#8212;from Kendal Rautzhan
