Louisiana: A History

&ldquo;Each year Lee Child comes up with another Reacher. Each year I lap it up. Love it . . . Here, there is something subversive as well as page-turning. . . . I don&rsquo;t know another author so skilled at making me turn the page, at putting me in the thick of it all.&rdquo;&mdash;The Times &#160; &ldquo;Reacher is the purest distillation of the white knight in contemporary mystery fiction. This novel is a tightly plotted ride with characters who will break your heart and linger after you close the book.&rdquo;&mdash;Mystery Scene &#160; &ldquo;Reacher [is] one of the most alluring and popular characters in contemporary fiction. . . . As always in a Child novel, pace is fast, twists and turns surprise, characters are well-developed, dialogue is exactly right, and the plot is very plausible. . . . Highly entertaining . . . This one is among the best [in the series]. It doesn&rsquo;t matter in what order you read them since each stands entirely on its own.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Times &#160; &ldquo;A timely, affecting, suspenseful and morally complex thriller. . . . One of the best thrillers I&rsquo;ve read this year.&rdquo;&mdash;The Washington Post &#160; &ldquo;Jack Reacher has become arguably the most iconic fictional hero we have.&rdquo;&mdash;Men&rsquo;s Health&#160; &#160; &ldquo;Compelling and moving . . . bold and mysterious.&rdquo;&mdash;Associated Press &#160; &ldquo;This, Child&rsquo;s twenty-second book in the series, has heart to spare, and it proves the franchise has plenty of gas left in its tank.&rdquo;&mdash;Minneapolis Star-Tribune&ldquo;Compulsively readable.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly&#160;(starred review)&#160;&ldquo;[A] multifaceted novel about dealing with the unthinkable . . . It&rsquo;s automatic: Reacher gets off a bus, and Child lands on the&#160;New York Times&#160;bestseller list.&rdquo;&mdash;Booklist&#160;&ldquo;The book is very smart . . . [and] suggests something that has not been visible in the series&rsquo; previous entries: a creeping sadness in Reacher&rsquo;s wanderings that, set here among the vast and empty landscapes of Wyoming, resembles the peculiarly solitary loneliness of the classic American hero. This return to form is also a hint of new ground to be covered.&rdquo;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews&#160;&ldquo;Child does a stellar job this time by not following his customary formula; his usually stoic hero who rarely displays softness and compassion is hit hard emotionally by this case.&rdquo;&rsquo;&mdash;Library Journal (starred review)

The Influence Of The Black Death On The English Monasteries (1916)

"This is an absolutely marvelous memoir, the best I have read in recent years. It recounts, passionately and often painfully, the story of an endearing young child from a broken home who finds refuge and finally redemption in the world of theater. It is a thoroughly absorbing tale, told beautifully and without a hint of self-pity. It is everything a literary memoir ought to be."                                --Doris Kearns Goodwin"Ghost Light is not so much a memoir as an exorcism. Frank Rich revisits those defoliated battlegrounds we call family and childhood, picks his way through the still live booby traps of memory, and returns if not at peace then at least with the shards of understanding."--John Gregory Dunne"Frank Rich's Ghost Light is a stunning book. He manages to weave memories of childhood and theater into a complicated and deeply touching pattern. For anyone who remembers or still believes that their true lives begin when the curtain goes up, Ghost Light will illuminate their passion. This is a beautifully written, honest book. As in the best of theater, any reader will laugh, cry, and be very moved by the end." --Wendy Wasserstein"Ghost Light is a superb memoir--rich in anecdote, dense in theme. It's a spellbinding coming-of-age tale, a meditation on art and youth in the '60s, a horror story of urban family life. Deft, raucous, occasionally terrifying--you applaud Frank Rich for his journey and his brilliant skill in delineating it."--James Ellroy

&#8220;The Queen: God bless her.  Anyone who loved Dinah Washington as I did will appreciate this book by Nadine Cohodas, which beautifully documents the joys and sorrows of the life of this lady who was a peer of her contemporaries Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, and Billie Holliday.&#8221;--George Wein, author of Myself Among Others and founder of the Newport Jazz Festival&#8220;Dinah Washington died at thirty-nine, but packed so much life and incident into every moment it&#8217;s a wonder that Nadine Cohodas could sort it out; the marital adventures alone might have daunted a less avid biographer.  Nor does she slight her music.  Dinah could make every kind of song vital and personal, no matter the context&#8211;jazz, blues, swing, pop, r&b, or r&r.  Cohodas captures the Queen in all her obstinate spitfire glory.&#8221;--Gary Giddins, author of Weather Bird and Bing Crosby: A Pocketful of Dreams

"In the 1960s, the fashion world turned "topsy-turvy," as TIME noted  in 1967. Nearly every aspect of that revolutionary decade, from the  civil-rights movement to the space race, was somehow reflected in the  clothing worn by American women. The book Mod New York: Fashion Takes a Trip... takes a look at the influences behind and lasting influence of American fashion in the years between 1960 and 1973." &mdash;Time.com"This catalog of an exhibition at the Museum of the City of New York  (MCNY), edited by its curators, is comprised of eight essays taking  various angles on American fashion in the 1960s to early 1970s, amply  illustrated with images of garments from MCNY's collection alongside  vintage photos from Vogue and Harper's Bazaar.... This accessible work stands out by contextualizing fashion alongside  major social change&mdash;the Youthquake, birth control, the civil rights  movement, and Vietnam War protests."&mdash;Library Journal"A fascinating look at a crucial shift in American fashion."&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

Fashion Takes a Trip

Mod New York

‘Pippa Stein's bookdeals with what is maybe the central issue among the vast,daunting problems of education for South Africa's post-apartheid society - the issue of 'literacy'. She shows the starkly desperate problems of so many children, their vibrant response, their energy, imagination, powerful and, often, filled with joy. Out of that she develops a theory around learning and making meaning for conditions of profound diversity, a theory that could only have been thought in South Africa; yet provides a path through, there as much as here or anywhere.’- Gunther Kress, Professor of Education, Head of School, School of Culture, Language and Communication, Centre for Multimodal Research, Institute of Education, London
"…Stein’s Multimodal Pedagogies is a significant, much-needed response to the many perplexing questions presented by an expanded multi-semiotic, multimodal view of literacy and learning." – Language Arts, Vol. 86, No. 2, November 2008

"…[T]he book underscores that advocacy can and must happen at all levels of our practice: from our daily interactions with our students and colleagues to working to change state law and federal policy. It also challenges us to accept the grave responsibility for advocacy we have as TESOL professionals... The book gives us the language and the tools to speak up and speak out on behalf of our students and our colleagues."
- Ester de Jong, University of Florida



"This book is a much needed collection for teachers and teacher educators in need of resources to develop their knowledge base about advocacy in English language teaching and learning. The authors provide different perspectives about issues related to advocacy for emergent to advanced bilingual students who are or have been classified as English language learners (ELLs). Authors address the preparation of teachers to advocate for ELLs, action research for advocacy in teacher education and in classrooms, and engaging co-advocates, among other relevant topics. This is a wonderful contribution to the TESOL field and beyond."
- Luciana C. de Oliveira, University of Miami; President (2018-2019), TESOL International Association, USA



"Advocacy in English Language Teaching and Learning　shows us the what, the why, and the how to effectively advocate for all students. The authors are engaged in research and practice, advocacy and instruction, administration and service on behalf of English learners.　 This book is a forum of multiple approaches, a demonstration of a range of actions, and a platform for the real stories of English learners in our schools."


- Paul Boyd-Batstone, California State University Long Beach, USA
"Linville and Whiting’s edited volume is an important, timely, and unique advocacy resource….It goes beyond viewing advocacy within the formal setting of schooling or in connection to policy changes. It emphasizes the recognition of particular linguistic and sociocultural positions of EL learners and illustrates the importance of family and community involvement and engagement. Thus, this book is an act of advocacy in itself."
- Polina Vinogradova, TESOL Journal 11(4)

'Women and Retirement: Challenges of a New Life Stage provides a unique and comprehensive insight into the retirement trajectories of older women from authors who are international experts in the health and social lives of women. Their study of over 1,000 older women as they move into retirement is ground-breaking and provides a gendered perspective on this important transition. A feature of the book is that the voices of older women are clearly heard throughout the manuscript. I strongly recommend the book for students, health and social care professionals and researchers alike.’Professor Colette Browning, Australian National University, Australia 
‘Moore and Rosenthal are two highly esteemed authors, who have turned their attention to a subject of great importance for women the world over. This is a topic that could hardly be more relevant today. More and more women are having to face up to the challenges of later life following employment. How do they do it? What choices do they make? And how do these choices impact on their lives and the lives of those close to them? This is a fascinating and important book that will be widely read by all who are interested in the lives of women in the 21st century.’Professor John Coleman OBE, UK
