The Wry Romance of the Literary Rectory
The English rectory nestling beside an ancient church may evoke a scene from Jane Austen or conjure up something much darker, such as the parsonage on the Yorkshire Moors where the Brontë sisters led their confined yet creative lives. This engaging, deeply researched book explores the lives of writers and poets who were either the children of clergy, such as Tennyson and Dorothy L. Sayers, or those, such as Rupert Brooke and John Betjeman, who were seduced by the romance and values that these houses suggest. The serene exterior often belied tensions within that have produced some of the greatest writers and poets in the English language.

Unlocking Speaking and Listening
Speaking and listening are key elements of the primary English National Curriculum; they are also fundamental to children's language development and learning.

The contributors offer creative and practical advice on teaching speaking and listening from the early years through Key Stages 1 and 2, underpinned by theory into the approach. --from publisher description.
The French Laundry Cookbook
DIVIACP Award Winner 2019 marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the acclaimed French Laundry restaurant in the Napa Valley—“the most exciting place to eat in the United States” (The New York Times). The most transformative cookbook of the century celebrates this milestone by showcasing the genius of chef/proprietor Thomas Keller himself. Keller is a wizard, a purist, a man obsessed with getting it right. And this, his first cookbook, is every bit as satisfying as a French Laundry meal itself: a series of small, impeccable, highly refined, intensely focused courses. Most dazzling is how simple Keller's methods are: squeegeeing the moisture from the skin on fish so it sautées beautifull...
Metacognitive Approaches to Developing Oracy
The acquisition of speech and language represent significant achievements for all children. These aspects of child development have received substantial attention in the research literature and a considerable body of theoretical knowledge exists to chart progress from infancy to maturity. Cross-cultural studies have identified the common purposes served by the acquisition of oral language by children, and the essential similarity in the sequence through which speech develops irrespective of geography and culture. What is less clear is precisely ‘how’ children learn to say what they mean and ‘how’ teachers and parents can support and enhance the development of meaningful speech in the...

But he didn't show up, calling to say he feared for his life. Deborah Jones is a woman not easily deterred by threats. But when a second person dies in mysterious circumstances, it is clear to her and to everyone on her newspaper that Deborah could be next on the assassin's list.
