An Extraordinary Life

Teresa of Avila

There is beauty in simplicity...Cynthia Giles' central thesis is admirably simple: there are lessons to be learned from why some regulatory approaches work — increasing compliance with a particular rule in line with its intentions — while others do not.

The Psychosocial Wellness of Refugees

Before The Searchers was a blockbuster movie, it was a book. And before it was a book it was part of Texas lore. And before that, it was a true story. Glenn Frankel has traced the evolution of this story from the rugged plains of the American Southwest to Hollywood . [The Searchers] is a book about the stories that we tell about ourselves.

"Subterfuge and skulduggery from one of my favourite fantasy writers.&rdquo;&ndash; RJ Barker, author of&#160; The Bone Ships"Wit, humor, and a percolating sense of enchantment are signatures of a Stephen Deas novel, and this is Deas at the top of his game."&ndash; Robert V.S. Redick, author of&#160;Master Assassins&#160;and&#160;The Red Wolf Conspiracy"Three unlikely characters land in the midst of political intrigue in this fun fantasy from Deas."&ndash; Publishers Weekly"Deas's prose is witty, occasionally almost Pratchett-like...there's something vital and dangerous going on in the world, but our fun comes from the petty tragedies of three downtrodden rogues."&ndash; SFX"Readers who like their high fantasy laced with revenge and political intrigue will find this tale of interest."&ndash; Booklist"It's a fun and entertaining debut that will appeal to fans of both classic and contemporary fantasy." &ndash; Fantasy Book Critic"The book is an entertaining mix of Pern and Westeros, with the knowing characterisation of Abercrombie and the endearment of Novik."&ndash; SFF World"This dark and gritty fantasy is recommended for readers wanting the scope of an epic with the grittiness of grimdark urban fantasy. It will be loved by those who are looking for stories that exhibit all the darkness at the heart of &ldquo;Game of Thrones&rdquo; set in the mean streets of the grittiest of fantasy cities, and/or those who like antihero protagonists stuck in a morally gray area."  &ndash; Library Journal "A cracking read - fun, frenetic and full of great characters...Roll on book 2!"&ndash;&#160;Tom Lloyd, author of&#160;Stranger of Tempest"A big, rich world, with a plot full of surprises and characters that will linger long after you finish."&#160;&ndash; Joshua Philip Johnson, author of&#160;The Forever Sea

‘Bravo to Sheila Jeffreys who, with exceptional courage, clarity and scholarship interrogates the dogma of transgenderism – that men can become women and women men via hormones, surgery and/or subjectivity. Gender Hurts challenges us to consider how transgender ideology and practices accommodate gender hierarchy and create harmful consequences for transgendered persons themselves, but also for women and children. Anyone inclined to dismiss these views as transphobic needs to read this lucid and compelling book.’ 

Janice Raymond is Professor Emerita of Women’s Studies and Medical Ethics at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst (USA) and author of The Transsexual Empire.

‘Feminists fighting to free women from male definitions of what a woman is now find themselves assailed by male transgender activism claiming the right to make precisely such a definition. This clash of human rights has produced more heat than light. But Jeffreys illumines it by countering misogynistic threats of violence with scholarly research and reason. In a climate rife with pain on both sides, toxic with stereotypes, ignorance, misunderstanding, and fear, she dares to offer clarity. Even those who disagree with her must surely recognize that as an act of courage.’

A Feminist Analysis of the Politics of Transgenderism

Gender Hurts

"One of the things I love about this volume is that the classroom approaches and activities engage students’ curiosity about the language they see and hear around them, as well as the language they encounter in literature…This volume is a gem because it has experienced secondary teachers and linguists in conversation about how to teach in a linguistically informed and engaging way… Linguists have much to learn from these essays about how to make linguistics more accessible for K-12 classrooms and how to design introductory linguistics courses to be more helpful for teachers in training. And secondary teachers (as well as teachers of younger students) can find information here that may inspire them to experiment with new approaches in their classrooms as early as tomorrow, because experienced teachers are laying out in detail how to do so—and why."


- From the Foreword by Anne Curzan, University of Michigan, USA


"The key words to describe the approach of this　book for me are curiosity and exploration. For anyone who works with linguistically diverse learners, this book will help, with lesson plans tied to Common Core state standards, resources, and linguistic responses to a variety of issues. The varied chapter authors, who are teacher-linguists or linguist-teachers, show readers, rather than just telling us, how to encourage our own students to become linguistically curious and experts about their own language varieties and usage. And they do so in an accessible way. I am excited to have a new tool to help me better introduce to pre-service TESOL teachers the social hierarchy of language and the inherent value in linguistic diversity!"
- Heather Linville, University of Wisconsin, USA
"This long-needed and innovative text will serve as a springboard for educators seeking to incorporate instruction on language variation in their practice. Engaging as it is practical, this volume provides thought-provoking perspectives from experienced educators and linguists from avariety of backgrounds with a wealth of experience working with diverse audiences across the U.S. Importantly, the contributors to this volume provide concrete examples and lesson plans for other scholar-practitioners to adapt as we explore with our students how language works and implications in our daily lives. This text will most certainly become a well-referenced handbook for K-20 educators for years to come!"
- Stephany Dunstan, NC State University, USA
