When Cat tries again with far too many details, she discovers that clear communication also requires order, listening, and knowing which clues matter most. Cat and the Invisible Picture is a playful introduction to adjectives that encourages young listeners to notice closely, ask helpful questions, and use language to carry an image from one imagination into another.

This completely revised and updated edition of Reinventing Yourself , the motivational classic by inspirational author Steve Chandler, features several new chapters, including: What to Do about Your Money Fears Your Career Played as a Game vs. Your Career as a Grind for Survival How Much Ego Do You Need to Succeed? The Hidden Downside of Winning Friends and Influencing People Do You Need a Life Coach or Should You Just Wing It? Does Success Make You Happy or Does Happiness Make You Successful? You'll learn numerous techniques for breaking down negative barriers and letting go of the pessimistic thoughts that prevent you from fulfilling, or even allowing yourself to conceive of, your goals and dreams. Chandler's new edition also tunes, polishes, and strengthens the many popular and inspiring chapters from previous editions of this book, making them even more useful and relevant in today's rapidly changing, globalized world. The old psychological models that focused on past hurts and traumatic memories have given way to exciting new breakthroughs, like Dr. Martin Seligman's work on post-traumatic strength and Dr. George Pransky's work on human beings' innate resilience and well-being. No more fixating on psychic wounds that occurred in childhood. Chandler's new revision looks at the work of both of those pioneers and makes optimism available to people who never believed they could reinvent their old ways of being.

***NOW IN PAPERBACK*** School violence has become our new American horror story, but it also has its roots in the way it comments on western values with respect to violence, shame, mental illness, suicide, humanity, and the virtual. Beyond Columbine: School Violence and the Virtual offers a series of readings of school shooting episodes in the United States as well as similar cases in Finland, Germany, and Norway, among others and their relatedness. The book expands the author’s central premise from her earlier book Failure to Hold, which explores the hidden curriculum of American culture that is rooted in perceived inequality and the shame, rage, and violence that it provokes. In doing so, it goes further to explore the United States' outdated perceptual apparatus based on a reflective liberal ideology and presents a new argument about proprioception: the combined effect of a sustained lack of thought (non-cognitive) in action that is engendered by digital media and virtual culture. The present interpretation of the virtual is not limited to video games but encompasses the entire perceptual field of information sharing and media stylization (e.g., social networking, television, and branding). More specifically, American culture has immersed itself so thoroughly in a digital world that its violence and responses to violence lack reflection to the point where it confuses data with certainty. School-related violence is presented as a dramatic series of events with Columbine as its pilot episode.

In a bid to claim political asylum, Ryan infiltrates the Iranian embassy in London, subjected to a mind-bending chemical interrogation. But, unbeknownst to him, he is a pawn in a larger game, with strings being pulled by unseen forces. His mission? To eliminate his own brother, Declan O'Malley, known as Javed Kassem Hanadani, the enigmatic 'Red Haired Viper.' With acute PTSD gnawing at his soul, Ryan sees this mission as his final chance for peace, envisioning Valhalla as his ultimate destination. So, unarmed and alone, he steps foot on Iranian soil, unaware of the dangerous game he's become a part of. As he navigates the treacherous path towards Tehran, Ryan grapples with loyalty, betrayal, and the blurred lines between truth and deception. Along the Valhalla Road, he uncovers hidden agendas, shifting alliances, and a sinister plot that could change the course of history. Will Ryan unravel the truth and escape the manipulation that binds him? Or will he succumb to the forces that seek to exploit his every move? As time runs out and the noose tightens, he must confront his brother and complete his sworn duty, all while facing the terrifying prospect of a suicide mission. "Valhalla Road to Tehran" is an adrenaline-fueled thriller that delves into the darkest corners of international espionage, where personal vendettas collide with global power plays. Prepare for a relentless journey that will keep you on the edge of your seat as Conner 'Skid' Ryan races against time to find redemption and expose the hidden truths that lie along the treacherous road to Tehran.

The Language of Hallyu will re-examine the language of the Korean Wave by looking at popular K-content. In doing so, it will expose the meanings that get lost in translation, hidden under subtitles. Over the past decade, hallyu (the Korean wave) has exploded in popularity around the globe. K-films, K-drama, and K-pop were once small subcultures, known mostly by Korea's East and Southeast Asian neighbours and Korean diaspora. Now, K-content has entered the international mainstream. Consequently, interest in Korean language has grown, while interest in language learning in general has decreased. Many textbooks emphasise that Korean is a 'polite' language, but this book will highlight that this is not the case. The Language of Hallyu examines popular K-content, including Parasite (2019), Minari (2020), Squid Game (2021), and Pachinko (2022). The author introduces language stylistics to explain how Koreans style their language to suit every occasion. She argues that they do this via a process of visual scanning and social tuning, whereby visual clues are assessed in tangent with an individual's sociocultural awareness. The author concludes by highlighting the danger of the jondaemal/banmal (polite/casual speech) divide, demonstrating that Korean language is so much more than polite. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in Korean language and culture, particularly those interested in linguistics and pragmatics.

London in den späten vierziger Jahren. Die junge Schriftstellerin Juliet Ashton (Lily James) erhält eines Tages einen außergewöhnlichen Brief. Der literaturbegeisterte Farmer Dawsey Adams (Michiel Huisman) lebt auf der abgelegenen Kanalinsel Guernsey und ist auf der Suche nach einem besonderen Buch, wofür er Juliet um Hilfe bittet. Juliet ist sofort angetan von Dawseys Brief. Umso mehr, als sie erfährt, dass er zusammen mit einigen Bewohnern von Guernsey den Literaturverein „Guernseyer Freunde von Dichtung und Kartoffelschalenauflauf“ gegründet hat. Dessen liebenswerte und teils exzentrische Mitglieder halfen sich damit über die Zeit während des 2.Weltkriegs hinweg. Juliet beschließt kurzerhand, nach Guernsey zu reisen und über den Buch-Club zu schreiben. Auf der Insel angekommen, lässt sie die Geschichte ihrer Bewohner schon bald nicht mehr los. Und bereits im Moment der ersten Begegnung mit Dawsey wird klar, dass Juliet eine Reise begonnen hat, die ihr Leben für immer verändern wird.
