Sinossi

This new 2023 edition includes an audio download link.
Scottish Gaelic in Twelve Weeks has been written both as a self-tuition course for beginners and also for use within the classroom. You may want to learn Gaelic because of a general interest in Celtic or Scottish history and culture, or because it was the everyday language of your ancestors. The cynical observer may wonder if the exercise is worthwhile, when only 1.5 per cent of Scotland's population speak the language.
However, Gaelic is far from dead; in some parts of the Highlands and Western Isles it is the everyday language and it represents an important part of the United Kingdom's cultural mix. There are Gaelic-learning classes in almost every area of Scotland. Each lesson in the book contains some essential points of grammar explained and illustrated, exercises, a list of new vocabulary (with a guide to pronunciation, using the International Phonetics Alphabet), and an item of conversation.

    The path to massive, lasting, and peaceful success is not one of domination and defeat; it’s a path walked by a quiet warrior whose weapons are caring and compassion.
     
    Qualities such as empathy, compassion, and kindness have long been seen as weaknesses in business but Succeed the Right Way demonstrates how these qualities can be the most powerful forces in achieving success. Using studies and real-life examples, Gunn takes you through the human experience, focusing on business, and instructs you how to live a successful life based on kindness.
     
    Most of us are good people, and it’s exhausting to live a false life where no compassion or empathy can be expressed. Operating with shields up all the time, because we are terrified of being seen as weak, is not sustainable and is unhealthy. But these grossly misunderstood gentle qualities are actually stronger than thoughtless aggression, and they allow us to live in peace.
     
    The recent global pandemic has changed our world. From the business landscape to views on social responsibility, we are now in a situation where empathy and kindness are more powerful than ever. From management to negotiations, diversity and inclusion, Gunn explores them all.
     
    Succeed the Right Way is a must for people tired of traditional business’s old dog-eat-dog paradigm.

    The Iranian Hostage Crisis - A...

    The Iran Hostage Crisis did not emerge in isolation but was the culmination of a series of events that built tension between the United States and Iran over the course of several years. At the heart of this turmoil was the downfall of the Pahlavi monarchy and the rise of the Islamic Republic, a shift that drastically altered Iran's relationship with the West. The turning point came in 1979 when the Iranian Revolution ousted the U.S.-backed Shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, and brought Ayatollah Khomeini to power. While the revolution was a victory for many Iranians seeking an end to decades of autocratic rule and foreign influence, it created an atmosphere of political uncertainty, particularly regarding U.S.-Iranian relations. 
    The United States had long supported the Shah, who was seen as a crucial ally in the Middle East during the Cold War. In return, the Shah implemented policies that favored American economic and military interests, while also suppressing dissent within Iran. However, his reign became increasingly unpopular among Iranians, particularly the religious clerics and the working class, who viewed his modernization policies as an imposition of Western culture and values. By 1978, protests and demonstrations had erupted across Iran, eventually leading to the Shah’s exile in January 1979. 
    In the wake of the Shah’s departure, Iran underwent a dramatic transformation. The revolutionary movement, initially diverse in its goals, quickly coalesced under Khomeini’s leadership. Khomeini’s vision of an Islamic Republic, where political power was rooted in Shi’a religious authority, resonated with a wide segment of the population. His rhetoric condemned not only the Shah’s regime but also U.S. imperialism, which was seen as a driving force behind Iran’s oppressive system. Khomeini’s calls for a return to Islamic principles and the removal of foreign influence became central tenets of the revolution.

    The heartwarming and hilarious part-memoir, part-guide from comedian and father-of-six Ashley Blaker, on parenting, adoption and raising children with special needs. 
    ‘A funny, irreverent and loving book’ Daily Express 
    ‘We had such a variety of experts visiting our home, we really needed a revolving door. All these professionals would watch our son playing while shaking their heads and making tutting sounds, like builders considering a bad job you wanted them to fix. “Tut tut tut. No speech, disordered social skills, sensory issues. This is going to cost you!!”’ 
    Ashley Blaker has six children, three of whom have an SEN diagnosis. Between endless meetings, countless therapists, public humiliations, failed playdates, surreal monologues and occasional violence, it’s certainly not what anyone would call a ‘normal’ household – but would he want it any other way? 
    Normal Schmormal is part-memoir, part how-to guide, highlighting the many challenges, as well as the hugely rewarding elements, of parenting children with additional needs. Written with humour, compassion and a lot of love, it’s a must-read for parents, carers and teachers of children with SEN, either looking for a bit of support or in need of a very big laugh. 
    In Normal Schmormal, Ashley Blaker, a father and comedian, takes us on a humorous and heartwarming journey through the challenges and rewards of raising children with special needs. This latest autobiography is a must-read for parents, carers, and teachers alike, offering a unique perspective on fatherhood, family, and fostering relationships with children with disabilities. 
    For fans of Eliza Fricker (Nurturing Your Autistic Young Person), Dr. Naomi Fisher (The Teenager's Guide to Burnout), Ellie Middleton (How to be You), Lisa C. Qualls (Faith, Hope, & Connection), and Catherine L. Abbott (Mindful Parenting for Autistic Children).
