"A sense of unease permeates this disturbing and exceptional collection of stories centered on unhappy women in postwar Japan...," wrote Publishers Weekly. World Literature Today proclaimed: "Reminiscent of Flannery O’Connor’s works, Kono’s stories explore the dark, terrifying side of human nature that manifests itself in antisocial behavior." Toddler-Hunting Other Stories introduces to American readers a startlingly original voice. Winner of most of Japan’s top literary prizes for fiction, Kono Taeko writes with a disquieting and strange beauty, always foregrounding what Choice called "the great power of serious, indeed shocking events." In the title story, the protagonist loathes young girls, but she compulsively buys expensive clothes for little boys so that she can watch them dress and undress. The impersonal gaze Kono Taeko turns on this behavior transfixes the reader with a fatal question: What are we hunting for? And why? Now available in paperback for the first time, Toddler-Hunting Other Stories should fascinate any reader interested in Japanese literature––or in the growing world of transgressive fiction.

Toddler Tantrums is a useful guide to tried-and-tested methods parents use to deal with toddler tantrums. Child psychologist Penney Hames explains why children's emotions run strong at this age with their need to test limits, and she helps you decide what solutions will work best for you and your child. Emotions often run high during the toddler years, for this is a time when children start to learn how to do things alone and without their parents. This is both exciting and scary, and can be testing for both parents and children, particularly as toddlers are only beginning to develop their social skills. Toddlers are impelled to push the boundaries to test the unconditional love of their parents and to see if there are limits to their power.The book • Trouble hotspots and how to avoid them, such as dressing, food fads, tiredness, hunger, etc.• How to avoid setting inconsistent limits• How to respect the child's need to feel in control• Managing behaviour• Standing firm, taking time out and giving reassurance after a tantrum.

Living with people who differ--racially, ethnically, religiously, or economically--is the most urgent challenge facing civil society today. We tend socially to avoid engaging with people unlike ourselves, and modern politics encourages the politics of the tribe rather than of the city. In this thought-provoking book, Richard Sennett discusses why this has happened and what might be done about it.Sennett contends that cooperation is a craft, and the foundations for skillful cooperation lie in learning to listen well and discuss rather than debate. In Together he explores how people can cooperate online, on street corners, in schools, at work, and in local politics. He traces the evolution of cooperative rituals from medieval times to today, and in situations as diverse as slave communities, socialist groups in Paris, and workers on Wall Street. Divided into three parts, the book addresses the nature of cooperation, why it has become weak, and how it could be strengthened. The author warns that we must learn the craft of cooperation if we are to make our complex society prosper, yet he reassures us that we can do this, for the capacity for cooperation is embedded in human nature.

New York Times bestselling author Simon Sinek is an unshakable optimist and he wants to share that optimism. With this beautifully illustrated book he inspires readers to seek out a brighter future – and build it together. Simon Sinek has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers with his two classic bestsellers, Start With Why and Leaders Eat Last. The mission of all his work, from the biggest speech to the simplest tweet, is to build a world in which people wake up every day inspired to go to work, feel safe while there, then return home feeling fulfilled at the end of the day.Now, in this delightfully illustrated book full of axioms and anecdotes, Sinek expands that vision with new ideas that will inspire readers to overcome obstacles and become the leaders they wish they had. The book is organized around the challenges we all face in the modern world of work, whether we’re just out of college or trying to lead a giant company. From confronting doubts, to building a team, to recovering from failure, Sinek helps us see things in a fresh and inspiring way. Consider just a few of his insights…. “A team is not a group of people that work together. A team is a group of people that trust each other.”“Fight against something and we focus on the thing we hate. Fight for something and we focus on the thing we love.”“We’d achieve more if we chased the dream instead of the competition.”Readers will turn time and again to the aphorisms in A Little Book of Inspiration, and share it with friends, family, and colleagues. It can help anyone get out of the rut most us pretend is the fast track.

We return to Chorleywood, home of the Tollins, tiny creatures with wings who aren't fairies and are about as fragile as a brick wall. In three thrilling stories, they will face the trials of theater, radio technology, and . . . armed invasion. Luckily, there's only medium exposure to danger . . . such as when Sparkler catches his hand in a pair of pliers. In "Romeo and Beryl," Sparkler discovers an old human book and decides to put on a play of a story that is filled with great love and even more shouting. At the same time, a new craze sweeps Chorleywood as dragonfly racing literally takes off. In "Radio," the Dark Tollins of Dorset invade in force, with a housecat leading the charge. Sparkler, Wing, and Grunion must find a way to save themselves, and possibly the cat as well. Finally, in "Bones," the Tollins leave Chorleywood on a mission of mercy. The homes of the Dark Tollins are about to be blown up by humans! We will discover the importance of hot tea and toast in such desperate times. As well as jam, obviously. Once again, it's Sparkler and his band of Tollins to the rescue!

He who has conquered his own coward spirit has conquered the whole outward world.Thomas Hughes' novel about the mischievous but kind-hearted schoolboy Tom Brown inspired other school novels, including Frank Richards' Billy Bunter stories and J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter series. The novel begins at Tom's childhood home in the Vale of the White Horse, where he spends his days out in the fields with his pony. This early idyllic setting it set up as a contrast to the stresses that Tom undergoes later at Rugby boarding school when he encounters the bully Flashman. Tom is helped through his struggles by his friends Harry 'Scud' East and the frail but brilliant George Arthur, whom Tom protects, and who ultimately helps Tom develop into a young gentleman ready for Oxford university.

Now they have drawn a shipboard assignment off Central America—an easy day. But for a Navy SEAL, the only easy day was yesterday. In a powerful story of global anti-terrorism inspired by real life missions, Act of Valor combines stunning combat scenes, up-to-the minute battlefield technology, and heart-pumping emotion for the ultimate action adventure. Act of Valor takes you deep into the secretive world of today’s most elite, highly trained group of warriors. When the rescue of a kidnapped CIA operative leads to the discovery of a deadly terrorist plot against the United States, a team of SEALs is dispatched on a worldwide manhunt. As the men of Bandito Platoon race to stop a coordinated attack that could kill and wound thousands of American civilians, they must balance their commitments to country, team, and their families back home. But each time they accomplish their mission, a new piece of intelligence reveals another shocking twist to the plot, which stretches from Chechnya to the Philippines and from Ukraine to Somalia. The widening operation sends the SEALs across the globe as they track the terrorist ring to the U.S.-Mexico border—where they engage in an epic firefight with potentially unimaginable consequences for America…

This takes the form of Tom's battered homework diary - crammed with his doodles and stories. Exciting News! Mr Fullerman announces that class 5F are going on an 'Activity Break'! Which should be fun. As long as I don't ge stuck in a group with anyone who snores or worse still with ...Marcus Meldrew. Delia is already threatening to paint my room funny colours while I'm away. Which is annoying. I just hope the only surprise I hae when I get home is the new pet that I hear Mum and Dad talking about. Because I've always wanted a pet!

Papa veut qu'on fabrique un cerf-volant et qu'on profite du grand air. Ça ne me dérangeait pas de sortir dehors, si on avait un chien. Mais ça ne risque pas d'arriver, parce que Délia est « allergique » aux chiens (moi je suis allergique à Délia). En plus j'avais prévu de répéter avec mes copains pour le concours de groupes.
