Beschreibung

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.

    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

    In the warm predawn darkness of June 22, 1941, 3 million men waited along a front hundreds of miles long, stretching from the Baltic coast of Poland to the Balkans. Ahead of them in the darkness lay the Soviet Union, its border guarded by millions of Red Army troops echeloned deep throughout the huge spaces of Russia. This massive gathering of Wehrmacht soldiers from Adolf Hitler's Third Reich and his allied states – notably Hungary and Romania – stood poised to carry out Operation Barbarossa, Hitler's surprise attack against the country of his putative ally, Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin.  
    	Though Germany was technically Russia’s ally, Stalin had no delusions that they were friends. Instead, he used this time to build up his forces for what he saw as an inevitable invasion. First, on the heels of the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Stalin had his troops invade and reclaim the land Russia had lost in World War I. Next he turned his attention to Finland, which was only 100 miles from the newly named Leningrad.  He initially tried to negotiate with the Finnish government for some sort of treaty of mutual support. When this failed he simply invaded. While the giant Russian army ultimately won, the fact that little Finland held them off for three months demonstrated how poorly organized the bigger force was. 
    What Stalin did not realize was that Hitler had simply overstretched himself in Yugoslavia and only planned to delay the invasion by a few weeks.  The Soviets were so caught by surprise at the start of the attack that the Germans were able to push several hundred miles into Russia across a front that stretched dozens of miles long, reaching the major cities of Leningrad and Sevastopol in just three months.

    He came for a business trip. He left with a secret craving he never expected.  
    When a routine out-of-town business trip leads to an unexpected connection, two corporate men find themselves indulging in a night of passion that neither of them saw coming. What begins as casual drinks and shared glances soon escalates into a seductive encounter that blurs the lines between business and pleasure. 
    As the night unfolds, the suits come off, inhibitions are forgotten, and desire takes control. A luxurious suite, a bottle of wine, and two men exploring unspoken fantasies create an unforgettable escape from reality. But when morning comes, will they part ways as colleagues—or as something more? 
    "Boardroom to Bedroom" is a tantalizing tale of temptation, exploration, and the thrill of unexpected desire. If you love steamy MM encounters, forbidden temptations, and nights that spiral into unrelenting passion, this erotic short story is for you. 
    For mature readers only. One night can change everything.
