Geweldig slot van de Wondervrouwen-trilogie! Het is 1972 en de Olympische Spelen worden gehouden in München. In Starnberg vecht Luise om haar kleine kruidenierswinkel te behouden, ondanks de moordende concurrentie van de grote supermarkten. Daarnaast moet ze toegeven dat haar huwelijk voorbij is. De nieuwe echtscheidingswet zorgt ervoor dat zij een gewaagde stap kan zetten. In deze turbulente tijden wordt ze gesteund door haar drie vriendinnen: Helga, die droomt van haar eigen dokterspraktijk, Marie, die al haar energie in haar manege stopt en Annabel, die eindelijk het verleden van haar familie onder ogen durft te zien. Al deze nieuwe kansen doen ze beseffen: het grootste avontuur van hun leven begint nu pas.
'Een spectaculair debuut. Ik kon het niet wegleggen. Beeldschoon!' - Carley Fortune, New York Times-bestsellerauteur Caplan en Mina zijn bevriend sinds de basisschool. Van buitenaf lijkt hun vriendschap onwaarschijnlijk: Caplan is uitbundig, sociaal en datet het mooiste meisje van de klas - Mina is het liefst alleen en zit altijd met haar neus in een boek. Ondanks die verschillen zijn ze onafscheidelijk. Wanneer Caplans vriend Quinn Mina mee uit vraagt, wordt ze een sociaal leven in getrokken waarvan ze nooit had gedacht dat het bij haar paste. En terwijl Caplan ziet hoe Mina zich steeds meer openstelt voor anderen, begint hij zich af te vragen wat hij eigenlijk voor haar voelt. Moet hij hun vriendschap op het spel te zetten om daarachter te komen? Voor fans van Jenny Han, Carley Fortune en Nicola Yoon.
The World Report on Disability suggests more than a billion people totally experience disability. They generally have poorer health, lower education and fewer economic opportunities and higher rates of poverty than people without disabilities. This report provides the best available evidence about what works to overcome barriers to better care and services.
De beste verhalen uit twintig jaar Runner s World. Om uit al die inspirerende stukken de allerbeste te selecteren ging de redactie, samen met De Arbeiderspers, nog één keer door alle jaargangen. Van de avonturen van olympiër Wim Slijkhuis, `paling tussen de boerenjongens , tot het Spartathlonsucces van stadsmeisje Léonie van den Haak. Het zijn verhalen waarvoor de schrijvers van hét hardloopblad van de Lage Landen soms wekenlang op locatie verkeerden: in Marokko, bij een nog piepjonge Hicham El Guerrouj, op het kerkhof van Milton (Ontario, Canada) waar topveteraan Ed Whitlock zijn dagelijkse trainingsrondes maakt, en op vele andere buitenissige plekken. Abebe Bikila en die twintig andere verhalen samen vormen ze hét hardloopboek van het jaar. Dit is een boek voor de lezers onder de lopers, en voor iedereen die de schrijvers kan vergeven dat de liefde voor het lopen van elke pagina spat.
This book presents a definitive guide to understanding, applying, and teaching Occupational Performance Coaching (OPC). Grounded in principles of occupational therapy, person-centredness, and interprofessional frameworks of health and disability, this book will be of interest across health and rehabilitation professions. Supporting people affected by disability to do well and live the life they want is the ultimate outcome of all rehabilitation professionals, no matter where on the lifespan our clients sit. Coaching is increasingly recognised as highly effective in achieving this aim. This accessible manual provides case examples related to diverse health conditions alongside practitioner re...
This landmark volume offers a collection of conceptual papers and data-based research studies that investigate the dynamics of language learning motivation from a complex dynamic systems perspective. The chapters seek to answer the question of how we can understand motivation if we perceive it as a continuously changing and evolving entity rather than a fixed learner trait.
State-of-the-art tools and applicationsfor food safety and food science research Atomic spectroscopy and mass spectrometry are important tools for identifying and quantifying trace elements in food products-elements that may be potentially beneficial or potentially toxic. The Determination of Chemical Elements in Food: Applications for Atomic and Mass Spectrometry teaches the reader how to use these advanced technologies for food analysis. With chapters written by internationally renowned scientists, it provides a detailed overview of progress in the field and the latest innovations in instrumentation and techniques, covering: Fundamentals and method development, selected applications, and s...
Dynamic systems theory, a general theory of change and development, offers a new way to study first and second language development and requires a new set of tools for analysis of empirical data. After a brief introduction to the theory, this book, co-authored by several leading scholars in the field, concentrates on tools and techniques recently developed to analyze language data from a dynamic perspective. The chapters deal with the general thoughts and reasoning behind coding data, analyzing variability, discovering interacting variables and modeling. The accompanying How to sections give step-by-step instructions to using macros to speed up the coding, creating a dedicated lexical profile, making min-max graphs, testing for significance in single case studies by running simulations, and modeling. Example files and data sets are available on the accompanying website (http://dx.doi.org/10.1075/lllt.29.website). Although the focus is on second language development, the tools are applicable to a wide range of phenomena in applied linguistics.
This book provides one perspective on how Applied Linguistics has been defined and how the field of Applied Linguistics has developed over the last 30 years. The author addresses themes like why formal linguistic theories lost so much ground and how the interest in more socially oriented approaches grew? He also addresses the impact of Applied Linguistics on language teaching. Adopting a theme-based approach, the structure of this book is largely defined by the topics covered in interviews with 40 leading international figures selected by the author including Rod Ellis, Diane Larsen-Freeman, Susan Gass, Henry Widdowson, Suresh Canagarajah and Claire Kramsch. These data are supplemented by questionnaires from a further fifty applied linguists, also selected by the author. This will be of interest to anyone studying or researching Applied Linguistics and will also be relevant to those in the related area of English Language Teaching.
Should parents aim to make their children as normal as possible to increase their chances to “fit in”? Are neurological and mental health conditions a part of children’s identity and if so, should parents aim to remove or treat these? Should they aim to instill self-control in their children? Should prospective parents take steps to insure that, of all the children they could have, they choose the ones with the best likely start in life? This volume explores all of these questions and more. Against the background of recent findings and expected advances in neuroscience and genetics, the extent and limits of parental responsibility are increasingly unclear. Awareness of the effects of p...
