100 Endangered Species is a little book with a big ambition: to highlight 100 endangered species from around the world and the work being done to bring them back from the brink of extinction. It began as part of the 100-Day Project on Instagram, where the author teamed up with the People's Trust for Endangered Species to illustrate one new species every day for 100 days. From giant anteaters to Andean bears, seahorses to sungazer lizards, it explores the incredible species that we're in danger of losing for ever, highlighting their plight and the conservation efforts having a direct, positive impact on the ground. Packed with exquisite illustrations, fascinating facts and essential maps and charts, it is both a beautiful gift and a shout-out to future generations to get involved with protecting our precious wildlife. * 100 endangered species from around the world, illustrated and described * Charts their habitat, distribution, conservation status and threats faced * Highlights conservation efforts, inviting readers to take positive action * For ages 7+

What happens when negligent plastic surgeons get a taste of their own medicine…? Chicago investigative reporter, Eden Risk, receives an unmarked envelope containing a postcard ordering her to watch the enclosed DVD…or someone else dies. No police. After Eden watches the DVD, a gruesome, horrifying surgery, she turns to the private criminal investigation agency, CORE, for help. Only she hadn’t expected that help to come with a catch. Her former lover, Hudson Patterson, has been assigned to the case. Hudson would rather have another CORE agent handle the investigation. Two years ago, he’d screwed things up with Eden…bad. And as more DVDs arrive, Eden and Hudson find themselves not only knee-deep in a twisted investigation, but forced to deal with their past, and the love they’d tried to deny.
"This is a trailblazing volume. Too often do studies in historical linguistics adopt social (or other) theories of yesterday. But here we have cutting-edge research on social roles, identities and practices applied innovatively to historical data, leading to new insights-not just about Late Modern English but also about the dynamics of language, social phenomena and change-and lighting the way for future research." Jonathan Culpeper, Senior Lecturer, English Language and Linguistics, Lancaster University --
A comprehensive linguistic analysis of Mexican American English, introducing a model of the language shift that results within immigrant groups.
