Описание:
The chilling autobiography of the notorious female serial killer who was recently the subject of a two-hour Investigation Discovery special.
Between 1989 and 1990, Aileen Wuornos, a hitchhiking prostitute, shot, killed, and robbed seven men in remote Florida locations. Arrested in 1991, she was condemned to death on six separate counts and executed by lethal injection in 2002.
An abused runaway who turned to prostitution to survive, Wuornos has become iconic of vengeful women who lash out at the nearest target. She has also become a touchstone for women's, prostitutes', and prisoners' rights advocates. Her story has inspired myriad books and articles, as well as the 2003 movie Monster, for which Charlize Theron won an Academy Award. But until now, Wuornos's uncensored voice has never been heard.
Dear Dawn is Wuornos's autobiography, culled from her ten-year death row correspondence with beloved childhood friend Dawn Botkins. Authorized for publication by Wuornos and edited under the guidance of Botkins, the letters not only offer Wuornos's riveting reflections on the murders, legal battles, and media coverage, but go further, revealing her fears and obsessions, her rich humor and empathy, and her gradual disintegration as her execution approached. A candid life story told to a trusted friend, Dear Dawn is a compelling narrative, unwaveringly true to its source.
"It is both empowering and heartbreaking, because Wuornos represents the fury of a wronged girl-gone-wild, whose rage was unleashed on men." --The Rumpus
"Condenses ten years of obsessive correspondence into a fragmented, sometimes funny, sometimes nightmarish, often paradoxical portrait of Wuornos." --Muzzle Magazine

Описание: How do we understand children and young people’s lives in ways that do not rely on nostalgic romantic ideals or demonising prejudices? Can the geographical concepts of space, place and spatiality enhance our understanding of childhood and how children experience their lives as social actors? This book draws on a rich and growing academic literature concerned with the spatiality of childhood and the spaces and places in which children live, learn, work, and play. It examines changing ways of seeing space, place and environment and how these can promote rethinking about children’s lives across local and global scales. In common with other texts in the “New Childhoods” series, it asks for a reappraisal of modernity’s assumptions about childhood and for a move towards full participation of children and young people in matters that concern us all. Combining critical discussion of theory with examples drawn from research, Rethinking Children’s Spaces and Places offers readers a language to facilitate rethinking and catalyse active responses to the challenges of 21st-century childhoods.

Описание:
Thrown into freezing Southern Ocean waters on a stormy, moonless night as a boy Chas from Tas survived and was fated to live a life of adventure as a renegade at sea. Swearing never to take an ordinary job, it's a promise he has kept, voyaging more miles than to the moon one and a half times and back. He has not lived in one country for more than six months for the last forty years, carries his worldly possessions in three small sea bags, takes on missions no man in his right mind would consider, has been searching for Captain Kidd's lost treasure for twenty-five years, survived typhoons and sinking yachts and drunk half the bars in the known world dry. A living legend at sea and an unmitigated disaster on land, his deeply lined, craggy face makes Keith Richards look like Doris Day. Unrepentantly Australian and piratical a sea dog as you'll ever meet, this is the first volume of much requested memoirs - the roller-coaster begins and adventure is at the heart of it. Reviews: "People say you don't find characters today the way you used to. Well, Chas from Tas proves they still exist. The most amusing storyteller from his own experiences and telling them in a way that always brings a grin to one's face". Sir Robin Knox Johnston. "Shipwrecked Marooned .......I know from personal experience that sailing with Chas from Tas can be a dangerous undertaking. If you want to experience the thrill of it all without risk to your life read this book now " Simon Le Bon. "Renegades at Sea is chock-a-block with the kind of hilarious and hair-raising experiences that provoke either gales of laughter or head-shaking incredulity. Chas from Tas is a one-off original. There is no one else quite like him and there probably never will be again. Which is a very good reason to buy this splendid book". Bruce Stannard, journalist. "What never ceases is the string of stories delightfully regaled. 'Renegades at Sea', volume one of this trio, kept me glued to the pages" Bob Fisher, Yachts & Yachting.

Описание: Task Listening aims to develop the listening skills of students who have had little exposure to authentic spoken English. It is suitable for lower-intermediate and also more advanced students whose listening has been developed primarily as a means to a grammatical or structural end. Each of the twenty-six units consists of a short tape recording and related tasks. The recordings are of people speaking at normal speed in everyday situations. Each unit has as its theme a setting or situation in which listening plays a major part, for example, at an airport listening for flight announcements or at a travel agency being told about different means of transport. In each case, having completed the necessary language work, students listen to the tape and extract the information necessary to complete a simple task, such as labelling a picture or filling in a grid. Related reading and writing tasks are provided as a follow-up to each listening task. Task Listening aims to help students to sift out utterances of relevance and ignore redundant features, a skill vital to efficient listening at all levels of language learning.

Описание:
Architecture and Ritual explores how the varied rituals of everyday life are framed and defined in space by the buildings which we inhabit. It penetrates beyond traditional assumptions about architectural style, aesthetics and utility to deal with something more implicit: how buildings shape and reflect our experience in ways of which we remain unconscious.
Whether designed to house a grand ceremony or provide shelter for a daily meal, all buildings coordinate and consolidate social relations by giving orientation and focus to the spatial practices of those who use them. Peter Blundell Jones investigates these connections between the social and the spatial, providing critical insights into the capacity for architecture to structure human ritual, from the grand and formal to the mundane. This is achieved through deep readings of individual pieces of architecture, each with a detailed description of its particular social setting and use. The case studies are drawn from throughout architectural history and from around the globe, each enabling a distinct theoretical theme to emerge, and showing how social conventions vary with time and place, as well as what they have in common. Case studies range from the Nuremberg Rally to the Centre Pompidou, and from the Palace of Westminster to Dogon dwellings in Africa and a Modernist hospital. In considering how all architecture has to mesh with the habits, beliefs, rituals and expectations of the society that created it, the book presents deep implications for our understanding of architectural history and theory. It also highlights the importance for architects of understanding how buildings frame social space before they prescribe new architectural designs of their own. The book ends with a recent example of user participation, showing how contemporary user interest and commitment to a building can be as strong as ever.
