Ever since she was ten years old, Alana has had to endure terrifying nightmares that foretold the deaths of complete strangers. She's never had any control over this ability, so her only means of dealing with the nightmares is to ignore them.As she starts her first year of college, she finds that her visions are starting to spin out of control. All the while, she finds love with Noah, a handsome young photographer. However, their relationship is threatened when Alana envisions Noah's death. In order to save him, she must somehow find a way to embrace her "gift".
Teacher Learning of Ambitious and Equitable Mathematics Instruction
Drawing on sociocultural learning theory, this book offers a groundbreaking theory of secondary mathematics teacher learning in schools, focusing on the transformation of instruction as a conceptual change project to achieve ambitious and equitable mathematics teaching. Despite decades of research showing the importance of ambitious and equitable teaching, few inroads have been made in most U.S. classrooms, and teacher learning in general remains undertheorized in most educational research. Illustrating their theory through closely documented case studies of secondary mathematics teachers’ learning and instructional practices, authors Horn and Garner explore the key conceptual issues teach...
Mother's Day
Life was fine for Xavier, a man with a wife and a couple of little ones excited to celebrate his wedding anniversary. X's marriage was great but not without its share of ups and downs. An unexpected turn of events and a life-altering conversation on Mother's Day is about to send X reeling. Mother's Day is a story about family, faith, and perspective that will have you reassessing your own "first-world problems." How Xavier manages a challenging season in his life will require him to appreciate his wife for the soldier she is, respect the fact that sometimes people are who they are, and recognize when the Lord is speaking to him. The man with the carefully planned life will find that, perhaps, he's been looking at things all wrong.

Collecting Music in the Aran Islands
Collecting Music in the Aran Islands, a critical historiographical study of the practice of documenting traditional music, is the first to focus on the archipelago off the west coast of Ireland. Deirdre Ní Chonghaile argues for a framework to fully contextualize and understand this process of music curation.
The Irish Vampire
The origins of the vampire can be traced through oral traditions, ancient texts and archaeological discoveries, its nature varying from one culture to the next up until the 20th century. Three 19th century Irish writers--Charles Robert Maturin, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker--used the obscure vampire of folklore in their fiction and developed a universally recognizable figure, culminating in Stoker's Dracula and the vampire of today's popular culture. Maturin, Le Fanu and Stoker did not set out to transform the vampire of regional folk tales into a global phenomenon. Their personal lives, national concerns and extensive reading were reflected in their writing, striking a chord with readers and recasting the vampire as distinctly Irish. This study traces the genealogy of the modern literary vampire from European mythology through the Irish literature of the 1800s.
Breathe
A spiritual allegory set in a small village named Jerilum, Breathe invites the reader to a simpler time and place as a backdrop to a deadly play of power. Jerilum is a peaceful village steeped in tradition but with a force of evil ready to engulf it. Darkness, unrecognized until almost too late, has infiltrated Jerilum. A sanctuary exists nearby in the form of a beautiful, lush forest, which is used for traditional times of walking such as weddings, burials, and celebrations of birth. But as demons advance, the people are going to need more than tradition. There among the trees, Grandma Bohn, the beautiful Annabel, and a crippled young man named Luke find peace, and more importantly a friend...
The Effects of Genetic Hearing Impairment in the Family
There has been an explosion of studies in the field of genetic hearing impairment in the past decade, associated with major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms and conditions involved. However, a recent review has highlighted the very limited number of studies on the effects of such hearing impairment on the individuals and families of those concerned. In The Effects of Genetic Hearing Impairment in the Family, under the aegis of the European Union GENDEAF programme, the editors have taken the first steps to address this deficit in our knowledge and understanding of this topic. The book addresses the problem by secondary analyses of existing large scale population studies, by pro...
Treadwell Gold
A century ago, Treadwell, Alaska, was a featured stop on steamship cruises, a rich, up-to-date town that was the most prominent and proud in all Alaska. Its wealth, however, was founded on the remarkably productive gold mines on Douglas Island, and when those caved in and flooded in the early decades of the twentieth century, Treadwell sank into relative obscurity. Treadwell Gold presents first-person accounts from the sons and daughters of the miners, machinists, hoist operators, and superintendents who together dug and blasted the gold that made Treadwell rich. Alongside these stories are vintage photos that capture both the industrial vigor of the mines and the daily lives that made up Treadwell society. The book will fascinate anyone interested in Alaskan history or the romance of gold mining’s past.
