Paperback. Condizione: Good. In 1954 a fisherman is found dead in the nets of his boat, and a local Japa nese-American man is charged with his murder. In the course of his trial, i t becomes clear that what is at stake is more than one man's guilt. For on San Piedro, memory grows as thickly as cedar trees and the fields of ripe s trawberries - memories of a charmed love affair between a white boy and a J apanese girl; memories of land desired, paid for, and lost. Above all, San Piedro is haunted by the memory of what happened to its Japanese residents during World War II, when an entire community was sent into exile while its neighbours watched.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. "Each hour, 75 women are raped in the United States, and every few seconds, a woman is beaten. Each day, 400 Americans suffer shooting injuries, and a nother 1,100 face criminals armed with guns. Author Gavin de Becker says vi ctims of violent behavior usually feel a sense of fear before any threat or violence takes place. They may distrust the fear, or it may impel them to some action that saves their lives. A leading expert on predicting violent behavior, de Becker believes we can all learn to recognize these signals of the "universal code of violence," and use them as tools to help us survive . The book teaches how to identify the warning signals of a potential attac ker and recommends strategies for dealing with the problem before it become s life threatening. The case studies are gripping and suspenseful, and incl ude tactics for dealing with similar situations." --.

Paperback. Condizione: Near Fine. Second Language Identities examines how identity is an issue in different s econd language learning contexts. It begins with a detailed presentation of what has become a popular approach to identity in the social sciences (inc luding applied linguistics) today, one that is inspired in poststructuralis t thought and is associated with the work of authors such as Anthony Gidden s, Zygmunt Bauman, Chris Weedon, Judith Butler and Stuart Hall. It then examines how in early SLA research focussing on affective variables, identity was an issue, lurking in the wings but not coming to the surface. Moving to the present, the book then examines in detail and critiques recent research focussing on identity in three distinct second language learning contexts. These contexts are: (1) adult migration, (2) foreign language classrooms and (3) study abroad programmes. The book concludes with suggestions for future research focussing on identity in second language learning.

Paperback. Condizione: Good. A major event - the first book a seven-part series of dizzying imagination. Welcome to Scion: No Safer Place. It is the year 2059. Several major world cities are under the control of a security force called Scion. Paige Mahon ey works in the criminal underworld of Scion London, part of a secret cell known as the Seven Seals. The work she does is unusual: scouting for inform ation by breaking into others' minds. Paige is a dreamwalker, a rare kind o f clairvoyant, and in this world, the voyants commit treason simply by brea thing. But when Paige is captured and arrested, she encounters a power more sinister even than Scion. The voyant prison is a separate city - Oxford, e rased from the map two centuries ago and now controlled by a powerful, othe rworldly race. These creatures, the Rephaim, value the voyants highly - as soldiers in their army. Paige is assigned to a Rephaite keeper, Warden, who will be in charge of her care and training. He is her master. Her natural enemy. But if she wants to regain her freedom, Paige will have to learn som ething of his mind and his own mysterious motives. The Bone Season introduc es a compelling heroine - a young woman learning to harness her powers in a world where everything has been taken from her. It also introduces an extr aordinary young writer, with huge ambition and a teeming imagination. Saman tha Shannon has created a bold new reality in this riveting debut.

Arnold J Toynbee was a historian whose 12-volume A Study of History had a huge impact on the thinking of his day. This epic, multi-volume work offered a grand synthesis of world history from the global perspective of the rise and fall of civilizations, rather than concentrating on the history of nation-states or of ethnic groups. For Time magazine Toynbee was 'an international sage' and certainly in the same bracket as 'Einstein, Schweitzer or Bertrand Russell'. Daisaku Ikeda is a figure of global stature, the spiritual leader of a worldwide lay Buddhist organisation devoted to the promotion of education, culture and peace. Between 1971 and 1974 Toynbee and Ikeda discussed many of the vital issues which confronted their societies in the early 1970s, all of which remain current and significant. Indeed, topics such as the problems of pollution, dwindling natural resources, conflict and war, the role of religion, and population growth, are even more pressing than they were thirty years ago. In this volume - which still reads as freshly as it did when it was first published, and which is now reissued for a new generation of readers - the inspiring challenge issued by both men is framed as follows: will humankind choose to salvage its destiny by a revolution in thinking and morals? Or will disaster ensue if it pursues its present course towards self-destruction and the despoliation of the environment? While recognising that our survival is threatened by the imbalance between human imma.
