Graduate Skills and Game-Based Learning
This book explores the efficacy of game-based learning to develop university students’ skills and competencies. While writing on game-based learning has previously emphasised the use of games developed specifically for educational purposes, this book fills an important gap in the literature by focusing on commercial games such as World of Warcraft and Minecraft. Underpinned by robust empirical evidence, the author demonstrates that the current negative perception of video games is ill-informed, and in fact these games can be important tools to develop graduate skills related to employability. Speaking to very current concerns about the employability of higher education graduates and the skills that university is intended to develop, this book also explores the attitudes to game-based learning as expressed by instructors, students and game developers.

Cicero, Pro Cluentio: A Selection
This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Cicero's Pro Cluentio, sections 1–7 and 10–11, and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of sections 27–32 and 35–37, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed poems to be read in English for A Level. In 66 BC, Aulus Cluentius Habitus was tried for the attempted murder of Statius Albius Oppianicus the Elder. The prosecutor was Sassia, Cluentius' own mother. Marcus Tullius Cicero, the famous statesman, orator and lawyer, defended Cluentius in his Pro Cluentio, a persuasive oratorical tour de force. The selections in this edition prove that Cicero was not above using character assassinations in his speeches, first attacking Oppianicus the Elder, then Sassia in a vivid, melodramatic narrative which distracts and diverts the jury from Cluentius' alleged crimes. Resources are available on the Companion Website.
Winter of Red Demise
After an intense winter storm, Homicide Detective Martin Kellermen is wakened suddenly by a phone call from his partner, Detective Jack Gibson. A murder has been reported in a penthouse suite at a hotel. The two detectives are dispatched to the crime scene, where they discover the slain body of a wealthy teen celebrity. A note left behind by the killer is found, in which he vows to murder four other individuals. Many questions are asked, but the answers are few. And the killer's true face remains in the dark. As the killer, simply known as Matthew, moves from individual to individual, the detectives discover that his motives are buried within the notes he leaves behind and in the past that he has not forgotten. Winter of Red Demise is the fifth in a seven-book series involving the detectives of the 26th Precinct.
