All students deserve the best literacy instruction⠔and this IS the BEST. ⠔H. Lynn Erickson The guide for designing and implementing Concept-Based literacy lessons A Concept-Based Curriculum is designed to help students uncover important, transferable understandings about what it means to be a capable reader, writer, speaker, viewer, listener, and thinker.

A fascinating and well-researched biography of a fearless woman, it combines history, adventure and romance. I loved it. - Lady Antonia FraserLady Dorothy â ˜Dollyâ ™ Mills was a trailblazer, whose larger-than-life personality led her to extraordinary adventures. Born in 1889 into the Walpole family, who were eminent in political and literary spheres, Dolly defied the constraints of her upper-class upbringing by marrying a poor army captain, prompting her disinheritance.From becoming the first English woman in Timbuktu she forged a reputation as one of the most renowned explorers in West Africa and beyond, travelling deep into Venezuela and the Middle East â “ territories often considered the preserve of men â “ breaking the mould and challenging her background and the expectations of her gender.Dolly wrote acclaimed travel books, documenting remote places and peoples, capturing history in the making. By the 1930s, she was the best-known female explorer, appearing on platforms and in books alongside prominent men. She was elected as an early female Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and was a strong advocate for women in the field, leaving a bequest for women explorers on her death in 1959.A feminist with unorthodox views which ultimately cost her her marriage, Dolly also wrote bold novels and incisive features for women. Despite life-changing obstacles, she never lost her love of donning a glamorous frock and downing a cocktail.No Country For a Woman is the first book about the life of the best-known female explorer, set against the backdrop of the decadent Jazz Age, and will captivate not only those who are fans of other famous explorers but also curious readers, interested in the lives of fearless women.

St Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow (Vasily Ivanovich Bellavin, 1865-1925) is one of the most important figures of both Russian and Orthodox Church history in the twentieth century. Yet ninety years after his death this remains the only complete biography ever published in the English language. It has now been updated and revised with a new preface and bibliography, together with revised and additional endnotes, by Scott M. Kenworthy. All together these reveal a picture of a man whom no one expected to be chosen as Patriarch. Nevertheless he humbly accepted the call of God and the people to guide the Church during the most turbulent of times as it faced both internal upheavals and external persecution. As he said in his speech immediately following his election as Patriarch in 1917, ??I am entrusted with the care for all the Russian churches, and what awaits me is the gradual dying for them all my days.? Both specialists and general readers will become better acquainted with St Tikhon through this modest but carefully crafted monograph.

Kniha - autor Jiří Řezník; Karel Sýs, 480 stran, česky, pevná bez přebalu lesklá Tragická smrt Jana Masaryka je stále živým tématem pro mnoho historiků i literátů. Spáchal Jan Masaryk sebevraždu nebo byl zavražděn? A co když pod okny Černínského paláce neskončilo jeho tělo, ale tělo Masarykova dvojníka? Co když se stal Jan Masaryk, ať už vědomě či nevědomě, hlavním protagonistou neuvěřitelné hry tajných služeb a dožil svůj život pod skrytou identitou v jednom izraelském kibucu? Historik Jiří Řezník se zabývá touto otázkou už čtyřicet let. Jeho kniha je jen zdánlivě poplatná až příliš odvážné konspirační teorii. Důkazy, které o údajné smrti Jana Masaryka shromáždil, jsou šokující, ale hlavně logické, včetně doprovodného obrazového a důkazního materiálu. Je tedy na místě klást otázku: Jak zemřel Jan Masaryk? Nikoliv. Přesnější otázka zní: KDY A KDE ZEMŘEL JAN MASARYK? Váz

A sublime piece of literary detective work that shows us once and for all how to be precisely the sort of reader that Austen deserves. Caroline Criado-Perez, GuardianAlmost everything we think we know about Jane Austen is wrong. Her novels don t confine themselves to grand houses and they were not written just for readers enjoyment. She writes about serious subjects and her books are deeply subversive. We just don t read her properly - we haven t been reading her properly for 200 years.Jane Austen, The Secret Radical puts that right. In her first, brilliantly original book, Austen expert Helena Kelly introduces the reader to a passionate woman living in an age of revolution; to a writer who used what was regarded as the lightest of literary genres, the novel, to grapple with the weightiest of subjects - feminism, slavery, abuse, the treatment of the poor, the power of the Church, even evolution - at a time, and in a place, when to write about such things directly was seen as akin to treason.Uncovering a radical, spirited and politically engaged Austen, Jane Austen, The Secret Radical will encourage you to read Jane, all over again.

Outsider Classics is Dead Ink s resurrection ground for the strange, the silenced, and the outcast. This series exhumes lost literary voices that were ahead of their time to restore them to the cult status they always deserved. From forgotten masterpieces to once-censored provocations, each title is a reaction against the canon curated for readers who want to stray into the margins and away from the mainstream. Was it January or February? The coconut fronds waving, shining like green hair in the sun, gave no clue. Fifteen-year-old Jan is pregnant, gamely living off rice and whatever fish her boyfriend John can catch in Yelapa, Mexico. She and John, who introduced her to Beckett, Kafka, Joyce, and Dostoevsky, are writing a novel together. Before she can leave for Guadalajara where she plans to deliver her baby, she goes into labor three months early, and the baby is stillborn. She turns sixteen soon after and decides to head north. Jan Kerouac, the only child of Jack Kerouac and Joan Haverty Kerouac, published her autobiographical novel Baby Driver in 1981. Unacknowledged by her father, she is haunted by the absence of his love. With a graceful, sometimes disturbing detachment and intense lyricism, she explores the freewheeling soul of a woman on her own road. From an adolescence on the Lower East Side of Manhattan dropping LSD and doing time in detention homes, to the peace movement in Haight-Ashbury and Washington state, to traveling by bus through Central America with a madman for a lover, Jan lives by her wits and whims, rhapsodic and irrepressible.

Lubomír Kaválek byl jedním z největších českých šachistů všech dob - a jeho paměti nazvané Rozehraný život nabízejí fascinující vhled do jeho života. Kaválkova šachová kariéra slibně začala v Československu a vyvrcholila v USA, kam po sovětské okupaci v roce 1968 už jako mezinárodní velmistr odešel. Stal se trojnásobným šampionem Spojených států, novou vlast reprezentoval na mezinárodních turnajích a šachových olympiádách, v polovině 70. let patřil do první světové desítky. Roku 1972 se jako sekundant Bobbyho Fischera zúčastnil zápasu století , významné bitvy studené války, v níž excentrický Američan slavně porazil mistra světa Borise Spasského z SSSR. Kaválek vypravuje svůj životní příběh velmi poutavě a se smyslem pro humor, bere ohled na čtenáře, kteří pravidla šachu neznají, proto neobtěžuje rozbory partií, přesto dovede dramatičnost bojů na šachovnici přenést i na ty, kteří se jich sami nikdy nezúčastnili. Literární formu dal memoárům Jan Novák, který se s Lubomírem Kaválkem dlouhá léta přátelil.
