So It Is
Spanning the decades that saw Northern Ireland move from brutal conflict to uncertain peace in the 1990s, this powerful new take on the literature of the Troubles is both a political coming-of-age novel and a fast-paced literary thriller. Aoife, a young girl growing up in 1980s Belfast, finds herself the last line of defence between the violence and her family. While her mother sinks deeper into a medicated stupor, and her father leaves the family for the comforts of the local bars, Aoife cares for her brother Damien, trying to keep him out of harm's way, while all around her friends and neighbours are swept up in the conflict. Meanwhile Cassie, a Republican paramilitary and honeytrap, lures and seduces her victims, inflicting lasting damage. But her infamous tacti have their repercussions, and before long her past catches up with her. So It Is is an unflinching and suspenseful debut that reflects the factions and fractures of the Troubles from a new perspective, culminating in a breathless sequence in which the choice between violence and personal morality becomes shockingly acute.
The Busker
Three cities, two years, one chance: from the author of the critically acclaimed debut So It Is — shortlisted for best first book at the Scottish Book Awards 2013 — comes the hard-hitting story of a young man determined to find his voice. Plucked from obscurity in Glasgow, Rab Dillon is about to become the next great protest singer. Seduced by promises of stardom, carrying only the guitar given to him by the girl who broke his heart, he travels down to London. There he records the debut album that will speak to the dispossessed, the disenfranchised and disheartened. One year later, he is sleeping rough on the streets of Brighton. A modern-day ballad set across three cities and two years, The Busker is a richly comic exposé of the music industry, the Occupy movement, homelessness, squatting — and failing to live up to the name you (almost) share with your hero. It is also the story of what survives when the flimsy dreams of fame fall apart.
ICT and Language Learning
This book aims to provide language teachers and trainers with a guide, in both practical and pedagogical terms, to the effective integration of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) into language teaching and learning. It also aims to serve as an introduction to key areas in ICT for postgraduate students in applied linguistics and related disciplines, and thus to encourage further research and development in these areas.
Comparative Stylistics of French and English
The Stylistique comparée du français et de l'anglais has become a standard text in the French-speaking world for the study of comparative stylistics and the training of translators. This updated, first English edition makes Vinay & Darbelnet's classic methodology of translation available to a wider readership. The translation-oriented contrastive grammatical and stylistic analyses of the two languages are extensively exemplified by expressions, phrases and texts. Combining description with methodological guidelines for translation, this volume serves both as a course book and through its detailed index and glossary as a reference manual for specific translation problems.
No - Don't!
This world and the next sounds as though there are only two forms of existence, but that is only the beginning. Milton Warner is not only a very gifted medium but his soul travels further than just 'the other side'. He has a challenge: To rid the earth and surrounding spiritual levels of the terrible evil which threatens to destroy everything. He realises there is a specific target, although with every possible answer there are numerous questions. The interaction between the different levels is important for the sake of their eternal existence but only a chosen group have been selected to fulfil the final task. Any previous theory about wormholes or time locks may leave you with a very different outlook on such things when you view them from another perspective. Each character is an individual in their own right, some with unique talents such as spirits Ariel and Fluke, or the spiky Jo, who is a bit wayward and colourful with her retorts. Warning: It may play with your mind.
Epidemiology and Prevention
This book takes a unique systems-based approach, allowing students to visualise the overall systemic effects of the disease process in its entirety.
Past and Future Presence
While uses and studies of XR technology within STEM-based education have been plentiful in recent years, there has been lesser or even, at times, a lack of coverage for this novel learning tool in the arts and humanities.Past and Future Presence aims to bridge some of that gap by presenting research-based theory and case studies of successful application and implementation of XR technology into postsecondary educational settings, ranging in topics from ancient to modern languages, classical and contemporary art, and reenvisioned historical scenes and events presented in ways never seen before. The studies also contemplate how this novel medium can enhance and supplement learning in classroom...
