From the bestselling author of Tides of Honour and Promises to Keep comes a poignant novel about a young couple caught on opposite sides of the Second World War. In the fall of 1939, Grace Baker’s three brothers, sharp and proud in their uniforms, board Canadian ships headed for a faraway war. Grace stays behind, tending to the homefront and the general store that helps keep her small Nova Scotian community running. The war, everyone says, will be over before it starts. But three years later, the fighting rages on and rumours swirl about “wolf packs” of German U-Boats lurking in the deep waters along the shores of East Jeddore, a stone’s throw from Grace’s window. As the harsh realities of war come closer to home, Grace buries herself in her work at the store. Then, one day, a handsome stranger ventures into the store. He claims to be a trapper come from away, and as Grace gets to know him, she becomes enamoured by his gentle smile and thoughtful ways. But after several weeks, she discovers that Rudi, her mysterious visitor, is not the lonely outsider he appears to be. He is someone else entirely—someone not to be trusted. When a shocking truth about her family forces Grace to question everything she has so strongly believed, she realizes that she and Rudi have more in common than she had thought. And if Grace is to have a chance at love, she must not only choose a side, but take a stand. Come from Away is a mesmerizing story of love, shifting allegiances, and second chances, set against the tumultuous years of the Second World War.

Coming out of eight years teaching at a high school in Auckland, New Zealand, this book explores big questions that teenagers themselves generated in Christian Education classes and in a course called Theory of Knowledge in the International Baccalaureate Diploma. In thirty letters to his students, Hugh Kemp addresses their big questions, noting that many conversations are unfinished and that “we grow in the direction of our questions.” All the letters are creatively generated but do represent real questions that students actually asked, revealing the inner lives and priorities of twenty-first-century teenagers. Kemp demonstrates a warmth and love for his students but also a critical edge, always challenging them to examine their assumptions, to see “how far down the elephant goes.”

Over the past twenty years, presidential candidates have developed an entertainment talk show strategy in which they routinely chat with the likes of Oprah Winfrey, David Letterman, and Jon Stewart. In fact, between 1992 and 2012, there have been more than 200 candidate interviews on daytime and late night talk shows with nearly every presidential candidate—from long shot primary contender to major party nominee—hitting the talk show circuit at some point during the campaign. This book explores the development of the entertainment talk show strategy and assesses its impact on presidential campaigns. The chapters mix detailed narrative with extensive empirical data on audiences, content, viewer reaction, and press coverage to explain why candidates have embraced this strategy and the conditions under which these interviews are most likely to meet their expectations. The book also explores how these interviews can enhance campaigns by connecting a critical segment of the voting population with candidates who provide useful political information in a casual setting. Talk Show Campaigns shows that this is more than a gimmick—it’s a key part of how candidates communicate with voters, which reveals a lot about how campaigns have changed over the past two decades.

Exercises with Phrasal Verbs#1 is for anyone learning English as a foreign or second language (EFL/ESL). It is aimed at students of intermediate and advanced levels. The book provides extensive practice of over 350 of the most useful phrasal verbs in English. Let’s be honest, phrasal verbs are never going to be the most fun part of learning English. However, with this ‘clic-book’ you can work with a lot of material at your own speed and without pressure, focusing on this key aspect of the language. The book is divided into three sections. PART ONE focuses on phrasal verbs that use the most frequent lexical verbs (get, go, make, put, etc.), providing lots of opportunities to practice these verbs. PART TWO is based on the prepositions used in phrasal verbs (about, from, in, on, up, etc.) and once again provides a great many opportunities to practice the most common verbs. In parts ONE and TWO you will study over 350 different phrasal verbs, each used in different exercises. Finally, PART THREE contains five longer texts containing many of the phrasal verbs found in the previous parts of the book. These longer texts are very useful for practising reading comprehension at an intermediate and advanced level. This book is for students at levels B and C of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, for TOEFL, and for those studying towards Cambridge First Certificate and Cambridge Advanced ESOL exams. * ~ * Clic-books: What? Clic-books are a simple and enjoyable way to practice a foreign language. Using your phone, tablet or e-book reader, work through the texts at your own pace. They are 100% bilingual, so it’s like having a personal tutor you as you read! Clic-books: Why? Because people have busy lives, and learning languages is difficult and time-consuming. Clic-books are all about little and often. Whenever you have a few minutes free, practice a foreign language in a relaxed and convenient way, developing your knowledge quickly and effectively. Clic-books: How? Clic-books present you with very short examples of a foreign language, normally one sentence at a time. By clicking to the following page you see the same sentence, along with a translation into your own language. Use these to check your comprehension, enriching your vocabulary and fluency as you go.
