'A razor-sharp thriller' Philippa East 'A stonking page-turner' Emma Curtis I wouldn't miss this wedding for the world. It will be my last chance to put a stop to it... A small group of family and friends head to a beautiful, secluded location in the mountains of Mallorca for the wedding of Alex and Maddie.

Among them is one guest who is determined to ensure the wedding does not take place... Who is the malicious presence? Why do they hate so fiercely and so specifically? And just how far will they go to prevent Alex and Maddie tying the knot? 'Engrossing ... compulsive ... enormous fun' Sabine Durrant

Echoes of Silence juxtaposes the innocence of childhood against the backdrop of bigotry and prejudice prevalent during World War II. The choices, made years earlier by the adult characters of this story, create echoes that reverberate forward into the lives of their children, which change and shape all of them in unexpected ways. This story follows three families during the final months of WWII. This profound and sweeping tale of human strengths and failings offers the reader a unique view of ordinary people whose lives are forever changed by the far-reaching effects of war. Especially touching is the plight of Japanese-Americans held captive by their own nation throughout those turbulent war years. Another thread of equal importance explores one of the main characters-Konrad Bauer-who immigrated from Germany ten years earlier. He is a man of high ethical standards, but the arrival of a young man from Germany causes him to challenge and courageously face the demons from his past.
""The Fast Ride" is a story about a great racehorse, unfulfilled dreams, the exhilaration and steep price of striving at all costs, and an American era in which getting everything you ever wanted could be the most unfulfilling sensation of them all"--
The Computer Supported Collaborative Learning (CSCL) conference has become an internationally-recognized forum for the exchange of research findings related to learning in the context of collaborative activity and the exploration of how such learning might be augmented through technology. This text is the proceedings from CSCL 2005 held in Taipei, Taiwan. This conference marked the 10th anniversary of the first CSCL Conference held at Indiana University in 1995. Subsequent meetings have been held at the University of Toronto, Stanford University, University of Maastricht (Netherlands), University of Colorado at Boulder, and the University of Bergen (Norway).Just as the first CSCL conference was instrumental in shaping the trajectory of the field in its first decade, the conference in Taipei will play an important role in consolidating an increasingly international and interdisciplinary community and defining the direction of the field for the next 10 years. This volume, and the papers from which it is comprised, will be an important resource for those active in this area of research and for others interested in fostering learning in settings of collaboration.
