Imprint: Routledge, 2014 This engaging, succinct text is an introduction to both phonetics and phono logy as applied to the teaching of pronunciation to English language learne rs. Section 1 selectively covers the main areas of phonetics and phonology, without going into any area in more depth than the average English languag e teacher requires or that the average English language teacher trainee can handle. Section 2 focuses on practical issues related to learners and how they learn languages, and what represents good practice in terms of classro om activities for pronunciation-including aspects such as targets, motivati on and priorities. The chapters end with activities to help the reader unde rstand concepts.

Imprint: W. W. Norton & Company, 1991 To remake our outmoded notions of economics--and to save the global environ ment--the Worldwatch Institute delivers a comprehensive, persuasive guide t o achieving a sustainable economy based on energy efficiency and reuse, rat her than waste, of resources. Using an analogy to the denial that ran rampa nt on the Titanic, the authors of the Institute's yearly State of the World series stress the urgent need to move away from a fossil-fuel economy in o rder to counteract global warming. ``Renewables'' are the key: Brown and hi s colleagues present tables demonstrating that wind and solar energy will c reate more jobs than coal and oil development will, and argue that the haza rds of nuclear waste and accident obviate the viability of nuclear power. ` `When it comes to solar technologies, today's political leaders, still capt ivated by coal and nuclear power, are akin to the steam engine's 18th-centu ry skeptics.'' The farming of rain forests' natural products (nuts, medicin es, rubber) could be substituted for clear-cutting; farming methods that pr event erosion, such as ``intercropping,'' could help feed a stable populati on (the authors argue that the earth, currently home to 5.4 billion people, cannot sustain more than 8 billion without catastrophic famine and disease ). ``Sustainable progress'' rather than standard economic growth would take into account equity for women, the poor, other species, and future generat ions. Indicators should be adjusted, the authors say, so that for every eco nomic gain that enhances GNP, such as the cutting and selling of trees, a d ebit--the destruction of that resource- -should be factored in.

SEX SLAVES turns that belief on its head to show that while western sex tou rists have played a vital part in the growth of the industry, the primary c ustomers of Asia's indentured sex workers and of its child prostitutes are overwhelmingly Asian men. Here are the voices of some of the world's most silent and abused women - women who have been forced into prostitution by the men they trust. This is their story: about the journey from home to captivity; the horrors of 'seasoning' for prostitution; and the hidden life within the brothel., Good Stock number: RWARE0000036532.

One of the special pleasures of constructing a techno-thriller seems to be the opportunity to predict one's own version of world affairs. In an unusually thoughtful entry set in early 1997, shortly after the events of his novel Day of the Cheetah (1989), Brown (Storming Heaven) takes time to explore such issues as the thin line separating special operations from terrorism and the role of the warrior in a supposedly peaceful world., Fine/Fine Stock number: RWARE0000008614.

Imprint: Pocket, 2009 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: At the start of this scorching if somewhat formulaic thriller from bestseller Brown (Play Dirty), Charleston, S.C., TV reporter Britt Shelley wakes up in bed next to the dead body of police detective Jay Burgess. While Jay had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, the authorities suspect foul play. Jay's former best friend, ex-fireman Raley Gannon, suffered a similar shock five years earlier, waking up next to party girl Suzi Monroe's naked corpse after a party at Jay's home. Raley had been investigating a fire at a local police station that took seven lives, despite the heroic efforts of Jay and several other cops, one of whom is now South Carolina's attorney general. Cleared of Suzi's death, Raley eventually teams with Britt to look into a nasty arson coverup. Brown laces her dependable romantic fireworks with a solid action-filled plot, though readers should be prepared for a few stereotypes, including a limp-wristed gay, a macho skinhead and a power-mad female politician., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000019058.

Imprint: Bantam, 1989 A tight clean softcover, no markings throughout: From the best-selling author of Rubyfruit Jungle and Bingo, here is a writers' manual as provocative, frank, and funny as her fiction. Unlike most writers' guides, this one had as much to do with how writers live as with mastering the tools of their trade. Rita Mae Brown begins with a very personal account of her own career, from her days as a young poet who had written a novel no publisher wanted to take a chance on, right up to her recent adventures as a Hollywood screenwriter. In a sassy style that makes her outspoken advice as entertaining as it is useful, she provides straight talk about paying the rent while maintaining the energy to write; and dealing with agents, publishers, critics, and the publicity circus; about pursuingj ournalisim, academia, or screen-writing; and about rejecting the Hemingway myth of the hard-living, hard-drinking genius. In addition Brown, a former teacher or writing, offers a serious examination of the writer's tool-- language, plotting, characters, symbolism--plus exercises to sharpen the ear for dialogue, and a fascinating, annoted reading list of important works from the seventh century to the late twentieth., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000025347.

Imprint: Anchor, 2006 With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and l ucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery wit h a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western h istory. A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high- ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his granddaughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's grandfather's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself. Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000019907. ISBN: 9780307277671

Alongside the body is a series of baffling ciphers. Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Da Vinci - and further.

Imprint: Association for Supervision, 1999 A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout This is a book about hope. It affirms the power of personal and collective responsibility to enact heroic changes in our schools. Through a shared vis ion, purpose, and inquiry--and using the collective wisdom of myth, legend, and metaphor from around the world--we can find the inspiration and courage to face the challenges inher ent in transforming schools into authentic learning organizations. As the heroes of legend leave the safety of their homes to face dragons and serpents in their quest for treasure and enlightenment, so do modern educators face new practices a nd confront the barriers to change in education. The authors show how heroic educators can triumph in their journey--and achieve excellence for students. Like both Arthurian and Jedi Knights, the Native American hero Black Elk, and Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, heroic educators face six stages on their journey: - innocence lost; - chaos and complexity; - the heroic quest; - gurus and alliances; - trials, tests, and initiations; and - insight and transformation. Finally, the heroic educator returns "home" and begins the journey again, w ith a renewed vision and an enlarged heart, to create a caring community for learners of all ages., Fine Stock number: RWARE0000015276.

Imprint: Rough Guides, 2002 INTRODUCTION Barcelona has boomed since the early 1990s, when preparations for the Olymp ic Games wrenched it into modernity, and today it remains well in the vangu ard of other Spanish cities (with the possible exception of Madrid) in term s of prosperity, stability and cultural activity. It's a confident, progres sive city, looking towards the rest of Europe for its inspiration and its i nnovations - the classic tourist images of Spain seem firmly out of place i n Barcelona's bustling central boulevards and stylish modern streets. And s tyle is what brings many visitors here, attracted by enthusiastic newspaper and magazine articles which make much of the outrageous architecture, user -friendly city design, agreeable climate and frenetic nightlife. Even the m edieval Gothic quarter and its once-notorious red-light area have been swep t up by the citywide renovation programme, which is still running at full t ilt. As the new millennium starts Barcelona has continued to blossom from p rovincial city! to putative European capital. It's no accident that the city's current development outstrips most of the rest of Spain. With the return to democracy following the death of Franco, the various Spanish regions were allowed to consolidate their cultural identities through varying degrees of political control over their own affairs.

Imprint: Bloomsbury, 2001 It was a classic requirement of the great novelists of the 1930s and 40s to have experienced life at the extremes, with excesses of sex and alcohol as prerequisites. Writing today is, on the whole, safer; and then comes along a book like Stuart Browne's Dangerous Parking. This makes some of the dang erous over-indulgence of the past seen tame indeed--a remarkable, sweeping narrative, shot through with mordant humour, wild eroticism and a resolute good humour in the face of death. And, we're told, with an autobiographical element that gives a particularly sharp edge., Very Good Stock number: RWARE0000001804. ISBN: 9780747552024

Imprint: Simon & Schuster, 2008 The Sweet Potato Queens' First Big-Ass Novel: Stuff We Didn't Actually Do, But Could Have, And May Yet by Jill Conner Browne "I have no pride. I tell anything," Jill Conner Browne is fond of saying. A s Her Royal Highness, Boss Queen of the Sweet Potato Queens®, she has told legions of fans, known as "SPQ Wannabes," her delectable secrets to living, loving - and eating - like a queen.

The humor in this uproa rious coming-of- queen novel is more delicious than a favorite dessert (the Queens favor Chocolate Stuff?, of course). In Jackson, Mississippi, Mary Bennett, Patsy, Gerald, and Jill are high sch ool classmates whose daily routine is paced like a shuffle through the loca l red dirt - until the arrival of a redheaded newcomer banishes monotony fo rever. With her luxurious mane and voluptuous figure, Tammy Myers aspires t o join the silver-spooners, who make things happen in their lives. When Jil l convinces Tammy and the others that money might buy a certain kind of goo d time and that true friendship has no price tag, the "Sweet Potato Queens" are born. "If it ain't fun, we ain't doin' it," runs their official club m otto, and the Queens are true to their word. Together, the Queens laugh out loud as they step down the long - and not altogether pretty - road toward making their very own queen dust, the sparkle that comes from livin' and lovin' their own lives.
