  "Common Ground is accessible to teachers at all levels yet firmly rooted in current questions of second language acquisition (SLA). One of its primary strengths is the authors themselves, both of whom are accomplished language teachers who understand the challenges and opportunities in communication-focused language teaching. Their experience, expertise, insight, and enthusiasm for language teaching translate into a book that is refreshingly practical for teachers, especially teachers who are striving to break from traditional drills commonly presented in textbooks. I hope this book finds its way into the hands of every language teacher who is looking for concrete examples of how SLA principles meet the realities of the classroom." —Stacey Margarita Johnson, Vanderbilt University

  Delve into the multifaceted world of Jo March in this captivating audiobook, "Jo March, Woman of Contradictions," which explores the complex dimensions of one of literature’s most beloved characters. This insightful narrative not only examines Jo’s personal journey but also unveils the real-life inspirations behind the characters of Laurie and Friedrich, shedding light on Louisa May Alcott’s inner circle and the influential figures who shaped her storytelling. 
  The audiobook addresses a curious trend in adaptations of "Little Women"—the absence of a German actor in the role of Friedrich Bhaer. Despite Friedrich’s German heritage being a significant aspect of his character, this detail has often been overlooked in cinematic portrayals. The narrative delves into possible reasons for this casting choice and its implications for the character’s authenticity. 
  Alcott's deep admiration for German culture is a recurrent theme in this exploration. Her writings reflect a profound appreciation for German literature, philosophy, and traditions, which significantly influenced her creation of Friedrich Bhaer. Through this lens, listeners gain a deeper understanding of Alcott's cultural influences and the nuances they bring to her work.

Mahdavi shows how her relationship with horses gives her insights into intergenerational strength and tools for healing intergenerational trauma. Riding from the mountains of Iran to the beaches of California, Mahdavi shares her love affair with horses, rediscovers a homeland she longs for, and ultimately finds her strength.

  A structural engineer examines the seven most basic building blocks of engineering that have shaped the modern world. 
   
   
   
  Some of engineering's mightiest achievements are small in scale, even hidden—and yet, without them, the complex machinery on which our modern world runs would not exist. In Nuts and Bolts, Roma Agrawal examines seven of these extraordinary elements: the nail, the wheel, the spring, the lens, the magnet, the string, and the pump. 
   
   
   
  From the physics behind both Roman nails and modern skyscrapers to rudimentary springs that inspired lithium batteries, Agrawal shows us how even the most sophisticated items are built on the foundations of these ancient and fundamental breakthroughs in engineering. Agrawal explores an array of intricate technologies—dishwashers, spacesuits, microscopes, suspension bridges, breast pumps—making surprising connections and explaining how they work. Along the way, she recounts the stories of remarkable scientists and engineers from all over the world, and reveals how engineering has fundamentally changed the way we live.
