Threads
From the beginning they were refugees: Jews, Christians, Muslims, children of Europe and the Middle East. They packed bags bound for freedom hoping that safety, opportunity, and future generations of tolerance would be their American legacy ... or was their journey to be a mere transplant from a place they had known to yet another bit of troubled earth, and would their children cling to the old or embrace the new.

Language in Uniform
Language education and training are an important part of life for some men and women in uniform. Around the globe, police and military personnel are faced with language challenges in their domestic security duties, including interaction with overseas tourists and community members who speak any number of languages. They are also often called upon to manage international roles that require an understanding of languages other than their own, including participating in international policing initiatives and military deployments. Language in Uniform: Language Analysis and Training for Defence and Policing Purposes brings together a collection of papers that reflect the diverse work being done in the often overlooked Language for Specific Purposes (LSP) fields of defence, security and policing. As language learning is increasingly becoming an integral part of life in uniform, this volume extends the theoretical and practical understanding of LSP and acknowledges the ground-breaking work that has been and continues to be done with this approach in language teaching and assessment for defence, security and law enforcement purposes.
Valor's Choice
Tanya Huff—acclaimed author of the Blood Series—begins her celebrated Confederation series that will launch readers into a future where Humans are not the most evolved species... Good thing they can take orders. Brought into the multi-species Confederation, Humans earn their place along the Taykan and the Krai by acting as military guardians of the Elder Races, who have risen above societal aggression and violence. When Staff Sergeant Torin Kerr and her platoon are dragged from some well-deserved R&R to play honor guard for a diplomatic mission to the non-Confederation planet of the Silsviss, Torin suspects that something is about to go wrong. You don't make staff sergeant in the CMC without a well-developed sense of paranoia. Justified paranoia when word reaches them that the enemy has been spotted in this sector of space. The diplomatic mission becomes a race to recruit the Silsviss into the Confederation before the enemy returns, claims the reptilian warriors as their own, and turns them loose on the Confederation. One battle-weary platoon has to step up to stop the slaughter.

Perswazja
W Londynie ma miejsce seria samobójstw wśród starszych osób. Policja nie widzi w tym nic podejrzanego, zamyka jedną sprawę po drugiej. Tylko jeden człowiek podejrzewa, że w grę wchodzi coś bardziej złowieszczego. Inspektor Tom Thorne, przeniesiony niedawno karnie do służby mundurowej, ma przeczucie, że w tych zgonach ktoś maczał palce. Krok po kroku, narażając swą i tak już mocno nadszarpniętą reputację, podupadającą karierę i ledwie rozpoczęty nowy związek oraz przyjaźń i dalsze kariery swych nielicznych przyjaciół, rusza tropem mordercy. Natrafia na sławną sprawę sprzed lat i zatwardziałego londyńskiego gangstera, który nie zawaha się przed niczym, aby dopełnić krwawej zemsty. To człowiek niemający nic do stracenia i sporą listę ofiar do zlikwidowania. Co więcej, zna sposób, aby zmusić tych ludzi, aby sami odebrali sobie życie... W tej rozgrywce prócz zimnej krwi Thorne'owi potrzebna będzie zwłaszcza siła perswazji.
