Book Description
Il volume raccoglie una serie di quattordici saggi da parte di studiosi italiani e stranieri – colleghe e colleghi, allieve di un tempo, amici – che hanno inteso così onorare la figura personale e professionale di Stefania Nuccorini, Professore Onorario dell’Università di Roma Tre, e autorevole studiosa di lingua e linguistica inglese. I saggi esplorano ambiti di ricerca in cui si è distinta l’operosità scientifica di Stefania Nuccorini, definita “Master of Words” dalle colleghe e amiche di Roma Tre. In primis, passato, presente e futuro della lessicografia, con saggi sui glossari anglosassoni (Faraci), note d’uso nella storia della lessicografia inglese (Bejoint), learners’ dictionaries (Klotz) e e-lexicography (Pettini). Poi, studi di carattere lessicologico, con particolare riferimento alle collocazioni (Pinnavaia), agli anglicismi in italiano (Pulcini e Fiasco), ai verba dicendi in prospettiva comparativa e traduttiva inglese-italiano (Bruti), nonché all’uso di già nella traduzione audiovisiva dall’inglese (Pavesi e Zanotti). Di taglio didattico e transculturale sono due saggi su English as a Lingua Franca (Lopriore, Sperti) e un terzo sull’inglese come relay language (Nied Curcio). Completano la raccolta due saggi di carattere letterario e teatrale, relativi a Laurence Sterne (Ruggieri) e al Macbeth shakespeariano (Di Giovanni e Raffi), mentre si muove tra lingua e letteratura un saggio sulle pratiche stenografiche di Charles Dickens (Bowles).

Book Description
Hey, you. Are you debating whether to destroy something with your bare hands or curl up on the couch for a decade or two? This book will solve all of your problems. (Sheesh, that's aiming a bit high.) This book is a cup of hot coffee, a ginormous bar of chocolate, or the magical fairy that comes over and does your dishes while you lie in the fetal position clutching a fluffy pillow. Sometimes when life falls apart the only acceptable response is hysterical laughter. When things get so far gone, so spectacularly a world away from any plans you made or dreams you dreamed, you feel it bubbling up inside of you and you scream, "It's not fair!" And it isn't. Fair is an illusion, and life is weird. This book will help you laugh at life's absurd backhands. This book is an empathetic groan of our collective unfairnesses. You might want to throw it across the room, and you might want to hug it like your new best friend. This book is about us sitting down together in our shared mess, taking a deep breath, gripping hands, looking the hard stuff in its beady little eyeballs, and bahahahaaing at it. Life's not fair, but we can learn to love this life we didn't choose.

Book Description
Celebrate the freedom to read with this timely, empowering middle-grade debut in the spirit of The View from Saturday or Frindle. When twelve-year-old June Harper's parents discover what they deem an inappropriate library book, they take strict parenting to a whole new level. And everything June loves about Dogwood Middle School unravels: librarian Ms. Bradshaw is suspended, an author appearance is canceled, the library is gutted, and all books on the premises must have administrative approval. But June can't give up books . . . and she realizes she doesn't have to when she spies a Little Free Library on her walk to school. As the rules become stricter at school and at home, June keeps turning the pages of the banned books that continue to appear in the little library. It's a delicious secret . . . and one she can't keep to herself. June starts a banned book library of her own in an abandoned locker at school. The risks grow alongside her library's popularity, and a movement begins at Dogwood Middle--a movement that, if exposed, could destroy her. But if it's powerful enough, maybe it can save Ms. Bradshaw and all that she represents: the freedom to read. Equal parts fun and empowering, this novel explores censorship, freedom of speech, and activism. For any kid who doesn't believe one person can effect change...and for all the kids who already know they can!

Book Description
Your divine life is as individual as your fingerprints: your spiritual path is unique. Spirituality isn’t always found in organised religion, temples, or gurus. It doesn’t need to be outsourced. Your divine life lies within, all you need to do is listen to your inner voice! Spiritually Loose shows how one woman replaced soul-destroying expectations and obligations with connection, meaning and possibilities. Susan’s journey included raves in Ibiza, jazz bars in New York; lectures on quantum physics in Italy, philosophy classes in Australia; traditional hula dancing in Hawaii and qualifying as a Kundalini yoga teacher in Spain. Instead of finding answers, she found rules. Instead of joy, she found judgement. However, once she began looking inward, she tuned into her inner voice of love, acceptance, and joy. Tuning into your inner voice is an antidote for emptiness, regret and disappointment. It’s a powerful reminder that it’s ok to be spiritual and loose, humble and confident, reverent and cheeky, patient and intolerant, brave and vulnerable, deep and superficial all at once. Above all, it’s a reminder that it’s perfect just to be you.
