In the early 1990s, Bikindi had been one of Rwanda's most well-known and popular figures - the country's minister for culture and its most famous and respected singer. But by the end of 1994, his songs had quite literally soundtracked a genocide. Acoustic Jurisprudence is the first detailed study of the trial that followed. It is also the first work of contemporary legal scholarship to address the many relations between law and sound, which are of much broader importance but which this trial very conspicuously raises. One half of ...

Developmental language disorders (DLD) occur when a child fails to develop his or her native language often for no apparent reason. Delayed development of speech and/or language is one of the most common reasons for parents of preschool children to seek the advice of their family doctor. Although some children rapidly improve, others have more persistent language difficulties. These long-term deficits can adversely affect academic progress, social relationships and mental well-being.Although DLDs are common, we are still a long way from understanding what causes them and how best to.
Graeme McCaig is thirteen and going to spend Christmas with his uncle. Lord Raversham, head of the Raversham family and ensconced in his castle on Raversham Isle, is dying (so they say) and seemingly powerless to stop his grown-up children from vanishing. Could these disappearances have anything to do with the strangers with large sacks who are gathering at night, down on the beach? Who is their cloaked, silver-masked leader and what is his plan? Graeme starts to investigate and finds himself caught up in an adventure that will see him collide with the Raversham family in more ways than one. He will make new friends. He will hate Calamara Jones. He will fly. He will fall. He will meet royalty. He will meet cannibalistic child assassins. He will learn of the legend of the Pyn King. He will find a new world. But can he save ours? For ages 10 and up, including unashamed adults. Parental guidance advised for those at the younger end of the recommended age range.
