  How to Be Queer - An Ancient...

  The idea of sexual fluidity may seem new, but it is at least as old as the ancient Greeks, who wrote about queer experiences with remarkable frankness, wit, and insight. How to Be Queer is an infatuating collection of these writings about desire, love, and lust between men, between women, and between humans and gods, in lucid and lively new translations. 
   
   
   
  How to Be Queer starts with Homer's Iliad and moves through lyric poetry, tragedy, comedy, philosophy, and biography, drawing on a wide range of authors, including Sappho, Plato, Anacreon, Pindar, Theognis, Aristophanes, and Xenophon. It features both beautiful poetry and thought-provoking prose, emotional outpourings and humorous anecdotes. From Homer's story of the relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, one of the most intense between men in world literature, to Sappho's lyrics on the pleasures and pains of loving women, these writings show the many meanings of what the Greeks called eros. 
   
   
   
  Complete with brief introductions to the selections, How to Be Queer reveals what the Greeks knew long ago—that the erotic and queer are a source of life and a cause for celebration.

  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.

  A Constitution for the Common...

  W Elliot Bulmer

  If Scotland has voted YES on 18 September, how can a written Constitution be good for the people of Scotland?
  
  If Scotland has voted NO, how could a new Constitution protect and enhance Scottish democracy within a restructured UK?
  
  Whether YES or NO, a reconstituted Scotland is possible and good for all its citizens.
  
  
  Nearly every democracy in the world is built upon a written constitution, and constitutions have been at the core of citizens' demands for better governance in places as disparate as Kenya, Tunisia and Ukraine. With the Scottish National Party promising a written constitution in the event of a YES vote and other parties suggesting other possible options for constitutional change in the event of a NO vote, constitutional change looks certain to remain central to the political agenda in Scotland for some time to come.
  
  
  
  But what is a constitution for? Is it a defensive charter to protect the basic structures of democratic government, or is it a transformative covenant for a better society? How can the Constitution sustain democracy and promote ethical politics while at the same time recognising and accommodating differences in society? What difference would a good Constitution make to the poor? How can the Constitution help ensure that the common good of the citizenry prevails over private vested interests?
  
  
  
  In addressing these questions, this book sets out a vision for how Scotland could reconstitute itself. It emphasises the connection between the constitution, democracy and the common good, arguing that democratic self-government is the true prize, regardless of the relationship of Scotland to the rest of the UK.
  
  
  
  This book not only makes a vital contribution to Scotland's current and on-going constitutional debate, whatever the outcome in September 2014, but also engages with fundamental questions of constitutionalism and democracy that are of enduring relevance to both citizens and scholars around the world.
