Synopsis

Famous and forgotten, they're all our fabulous ancestors.  From Charles Warren Stoddard, the first openly gay San Franciscan, to Felicia "Flames" Elizondo, the exuberant transgender rights advocate, the LGBT community is integrally woven into the fabric of the city's history. Household names like Queen Califia, Charley Parkhurst, Elsa Gidlow, Jose Sarria and Harvey Milk are celebrated worldwide, while Bert LaRose, Mabel Edison and Clarence Lockett are now largely forgotten. Whether '49ers, bohemians, beatniks, boomers, hippies, clones or conformists, their fascinating stories contributed to the development of a vibrant community, many simply by being themselves.  Join Dr. William Lipsky as he recounts their struggles and achievements in the City by the Bay.

    Can Jews be allowed to become boring?
    
    
    With Israel and antisemitism constantly in the news, it seems as though the Jewish people - a fraction of a percentage of the world's population - have become synonymous with controversy, drama and anxiety. But what if there was another side to this persistently interesting people; one that non-Jews often don't know about and Jews rarely talk about? This is the stuff of 'everyday' Jewishness; the capacity to be ordinary, mundane and sometimes just plain dull.
    
    
    Keith Kahn-Harris lifts the lid on this surprising world in a book for Jews and non-Jews alike. Arguing that his people's extraordinary public visibility today is harming their ability to live everyday Jewish lives, he celebrates the mundanity and mediocrity of a people before it vanishes completely.

    Master Matchek is a Czechoslovakian maths teacher in his mid-fifties who has two great passions. He loves maths and he loves spanking women's bottoms, both young and old. He has a reputation for getting his girls very high marks in their final exams but his reputation for spanking girls who do not do their homework or wear the wrong clothes for his extra lessons is also well known. Samantha Baker knows her daughter Julie will not get into her chosen Uni unless she gets a higher maths mark in the finals, so she enrols Julie for the extra maths lessons.  
    Verified Purchase: Another great story

    A Grammar Series That Uses the Functional Approach
    
    KEY FEATURES 
    - Functional approach to grammar teaching, using exemplars to illustrate the usage before defining the structure and rules
    - Vocabulary taught through language-in-use to build the learners’ vocabulary through use rather than memorisation of rules
    - Contemporary topics to inculcate 21-century skills amongst learners
    - Use of literature to help learners understand how grammar is used in text
    - A comprehension section comprising texts from different genres so that learners may relate grammar to different types of works produced in English
    - Phonics in Grades 1 and 2 to teach the very basis of language
    - Uniquely stylised illustrations
    - Activities such as puzzles, crosswords, word grids and games to aid the facilitator in using the concept of ‘flipped classroom’
    - Periodic tests to help the learners self-assess the acquisition of concepts
    - Digital component to cater to a technology-driven classroom
    
    DESCRIPTION: 
    My Blue Book of Grammar is a course that has been conceptualized and designed keeping in mind the increasingly dynamic role of the English language in today’s world. Especially in our country, where English serves as the lingua franca, a grammar course has to offer not only an exposition of the pedagogy but also the exhibition of the utility of that pedagogy. The aim of a grammar series should be to encourage the development of competency amongst learners, even though their proficiency levels may vary. While the level of exposure to English of all learners may be different, a grammar series should aid in the development of a certain level of confidence amongst the learners, with the end result being that they are able to converse without hesitation in English.

    - Learn how to use different vocabulary concepts taught through language-in-use 
    - Learn 21-century skills

    A Book of the Year in The Times, Guardian, Independent, New Statesman, Bookseller and at Waterstones 
    'He understands only the women he invents – the others not at all' 
    Thomas Hardy is one of the most beloved and most-read British authors. His influence on literature and the minds of his readers is singular. But how is it that the novelist who created some of the most memorable and modern female characters in literature had such troubled relationships with real women? 
    In this highly innovative book, acclaimed biographer Paula Byrne re-examines Hardy’s life through the eyes of the women who made him – mother, sisters, girlfriends, wives, muses. The story veers from shocking scenes such as his obsession with the sight of a woman hanged, to poignant vignettes of unfulfilled passion, to fascinating details of working women’s lives in the nineteenth century. 
    Hardy Women is the story of how the magnificent fictional women he invented would not have been possible without the hardship and hardiness of the real ones who shaped his passions and his imagination. It is only through understanding and witnessing these hardy women that we can truly enter the heart of this great novelist and poet. 
    Byrne, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the social history of Britain, exploring the lives of the hardy women who shaped Hardy's life and work. She presents a literary criticism of Hardy's work, focusing on his portrayal of women, and how his real-life relationships influenced his writing. 
    For fans of Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (The Lonely City), Colm Tóibín (A Guest at the Feast), and Devoney Looser (The Making of Jane Austen).
