Book Description
Award-winning author and adventure-seeker Lincoln Atwood lives for his next challenge. Guest- lecturing in a small high school in Bliss Cove hardly fits that description. But it allows him to reconcile with his brother and get some R&R after his latest daredevil injury. Win-win. Or so he thinks. Turns out, teaching is tough. As is the feisty Shakespeare guru he’s teaching with. Smart, sweater-loving Grace Berry is dedicated, passionate, inspiring…and clearly not his biggest fan. Grace loves everything about literature, and takes teaching it very seriously. Unlike the hotshot guy currently ruining her curriculum. Goes to show those who can do, can’t necessarily teach. At least not poetry or even a basic lesson plan. Swap the classroom for the bedroom, however, and Lincoln is a gifted teacher. The only problem is that Grace wants more than a bunch of (albeit amazing) short-term thrills. And that’s all Lincoln has ever wanted out of life…until now. *This book was previously published under the title Book of Love — same swoony, emotional small town romance, just with a fresh new title and cover. * * * * * Heart-grabbing small town love stories with uniquely imperfect couples and hard-fought ever afters.

Of Beards and Men
Author: Christopher Oldstone-Moore
Publisher: University of Chicago Press
ISBN: 022628414X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 347
Book Description
Beards—they’re all the rage these days. Take a look around: from hip urbanites to rustic outdoorsmen, well-groomed metrosexuals to post-season hockey players, facial hair is everywhere. The New York Times traces this hairy trend to Big Apple hipsters circa 2005 and reports that today some New Yorkers pay thousands of dollars for facial hair transplants to disguise patchy, juvenile beards. And in 2014, blogger Nicki Daniels excoriated bearded hipsters for turning a symbol of manliness and power into a flimsy fashion statement. The beard, she said, has turned into the padded bra of masculinity. Of Beards and Men makes the case that today’s bearded renaissance is part of a centuries-long cycle in which facial hairstyles have varied in response to changing ideals of masculinity. Christopher Oldstone-Moore explains that the clean-shaven face has been the default style throughout Western history—see Alexander the Great’s beardless face, for example, as the Greek heroic ideal. But the primacy of razors has been challenged over the years by four great bearded movements, beginning with Hadrian in the second century and stretching to today’s bristled resurgence. The clean-shaven face today, Oldstone-Moore says, has come to signify a virtuous and sociable man, whereas the beard marks someone as self-reliant and unconventional. History, then, has established specific meanings for facial hair, which both inspire and constrain a man’s choices in how he presents himself to the world. This fascinating and erudite history of facial hair cracks the masculine hair code, shedding light on the choices men make as they shape the hair on their faces. Oldstone-Moore adeptly lays to rest common misperceptions about beards and vividly illustrates the connection between grooming, identity, culture, and masculinity. To a surprising degree, we find, the history of men is written on their faces.

`Using stories about life events, Margaret Collins focuses on the needs of 4-9 year olds, and the ways in which they can express concerns, anxieties and grief. She also provides helpful advice for children and adults about how to help others when they are experiencing such difficulties' - SENCO Update When a child faces a problem with health or disability we are quick to offer support or change our expectations.

In this great resource Margaret uses stories about 20 different life events to: - illustrate the range of feelings - give permission for the expression of feelings - encourage empathy towards others - demonstrate that loss is a common experience for us all. The work balances an acknowledgement of the need to express sorrow and sadness with an opportunity to consider how to do something that is positive for oneself or helpful to others. Margaret Collins is a former headteacher of an infant and first school. She is now Visiting Fellow in the School of Education at the University of Southampton. She researches children's perceptions of health education topics, writes and co-writes teaching materials for children, books and articles on personal, social, health and citizenship education (PSHCE).
