  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. 
  
  WHAT WILL YOU LEARN 
  - Understand grammar concepts 
  - Learn how to use different vocabulary concepts taught through language-in-use 
  - Learn 21-century skills 
  - Develop deeper understanding of and appreciation for literature 
  - Have clearer pronunciation through a better understanding of phonics

  I Want to Burn this Place Down -...

  Maris Kreizman

  A TIME Must-Read of 2025 A debut essay collection by the inimitable cultural critic Maris Kreizman—an introspective, searing account of the life experiences that have pushed this former “good Democrat” even further to the political left 
  At the heart of this funny, acerbic, and bravely honest book of essays is Maris Kreizman, a former rule follower and ambition monster who once believed the following truths to be self-evident: that working very hard would lead to admission to a good college, which would lead to a good job at a good company, which would then lead to personal fulfillment and a sense of purpose, along with adequate health care and eventual home ownership and plenty of money waiting in a retirement account. Like any good Democrat and feminist, she believed that if she just worked hard and played by the rules, she was guaranteed a safe and comfortable life. 
  Now in her forties, the only thing Maris Kreizman knows for sure is that she no longer has faith in American institutions or any of their hollow promises. Now she knows that the rules are meant to serve some folks better than others; and, actually, they serve no one all that well—not even Kreizman. Disturbed by the depth and scope of the liberal myths in which she once so fervently believed, Kreizman takes readers on an intimate journey that revisits some of her most profound revelations, demonstrating that it’s never too late to become radicalized. 
  With Kreizman’s signature wit and blunt self-reflection, and more than a little transformative rage, I Want to Burn This Place Down is a book for anyone who wishes they could go back in time to give their younger selves the real truth about the fractured country they have inherited—and the encouragement to rebuild something better in its place.

  Widespread Panic in the Streets...

  In April 1998, legendary southern jam band Widespread Panic held a free open-air record release show in downtown Athens, Georgia, its home base. No one involved could have known that the predicted crowd of twenty thousand would prove to be nearly five times that size. The show, now known as "Panic in the Streets," went on to become a cult favorite of fans and a decisive moment in Athens music history. This event holds the record for the world's largest record release party, but the story of how the it came to be has not been told until now. 
   
   
   
  Widespread Panic in the Streets of Athens, Georgia places listeners at the historic event, using in-depth investigation and interviews with the band, city officials, and "Spread Heads" who were there. Music journalist Gordon Lamb's narrative takes the listener from conception to aftermath and uncovers the local controversies and efforts that nearly stopped the show from happening altogether. 
   
   
   
  This deeply researched and richly sourced book follows every stage of the concert's development from the spark of an idea to approximately one hundred thousand people packing the streets of a legendary music town. Taking us back to 1990s Athens through vibrant, on-the-scene writing, Lamb gives us the story of a band on the verge of greatness and a town reckoning with its significant place in music history.

  The Rise of China as a Global...

  Over the past few decades, China has emerged as a dominant force in global affairs, reshaping the economic, political, and cultural landscape of the 21st century. From its beginnings as an agrarian society to its status as the world's second-largest economy, China's rise has been nothing short of transformative. This journey, marked by rapid industrialization, technological innovation, and assertive foreign policy, has propelled the nation into the global spotlight, prompting discussions about the future balance of power in a multipolar world.  
    
  China’s rise did not happen overnight. Decades of reform, beginning with Deng Xiaoping’s economic policies in the late 1970s, laid the foundation for what would become an economic powerhouse. By opening its markets, encouraging foreign investment, and emphasizing export-driven growth, China achieved an unprecedented transformation. The country’s ambitious initiatives, such as the Belt and Road Initiative, have further cemented its influence across Asia, Africa, and Europe, showcasing its capability to lead large-scale international projects.  
    
  While China’s economic success has garnered global admiration, it has also sparked significant challenges and controversies. Trade wars with the United States, disputes over intellectual property rights, and concerns over its role in international organizations have underscored tensions with other global powers. Simultaneously, its advances in technology, including 5G infrastructure and artificial intelligence, have positioned it as a key competitor to traditional Western tech leaders.

  This Part Is Silent - A Life...

  A searing essay collection that explores displacement and loss, creativity and change, institutional power and progress. 
   
   
   
  Born in Korea, raised in the American South, and trying her best to survive British academia, SJ Kim probes her experiences as a writer, a scholar, and a daughter to confront the silences she finds in the world. With curiosity and sensitivity, she writes letters to the institutions that simultaneously support and fail her, intimate accounts of immigration, and interrogations of rising anti-Black and anti-Asian racism. She considers the silences between generations—especially within the Asian diaspora in the West—as she finds her way back to her own family during the pandemic lockdown. 
   
   
   
  Embracing the possibilities and impossibilities of language, Kim rejoices in the similes of Korean, her mother tongue, and draws inspiration from K-dramas and writers across cultures who sustain her. As borders close in and nations enter lockdown, the journey that Kim traces is fraught—and at once illuminates that the act of remaining present has its own power, allowing boundless hope.
