Описание:
"She was the one believed to fulfill the prophecies, you see. She was the long-awaited one. That is why she was killed, no doubt. And that is why there are those who swear she lives."
A single kiss saved their fabled love, but the same magic that saved them might also destroy them. Prince Ferryl knows that war is coming for the kingdom of Navah. It doesn't help that he is betrothed to the niece of the enemy king. But now that the memories of the love of his life have been restored, the real questions begin: who has magic? Who is using it against them? And who is Elizabeth, really?
When a dying prophet insists that the answers lie in the peaceful kingdom to the north, Ferryl and Elizabeth--with the help of a few friends--set off on a journey to the mountains in search of an absolution that will save the kingdom...and hopefully their love, once and for all.
But there, a prophecy long-since forgotten awaits them...and an unexpected twist of fate may damn their love forever.
The Purloined Prophecy is the second book in the highly-acclaimed Chalam F rytales series. Packed with page-turning mystery, breathtaking imagery, and swoon-worthy romance, this epic f rytale will enthrall readers from the very first page.

Описание:
Sara R. Farris examines the demands for women's rights from an unlikely collection of right-wing nationalist political parties, neoliberals, and some feminist theorists and policy makers. Focusing on contemporary France, Italy, and the Netherlands, Farris labels this exploitation and co-optation of feminist themes by anti-Islam and xenophobic campaigns as “femonationalism.” She shows that by characterizing Muslim males as dangerous to western societies and as oppressors of women, and by emphasizing the need to rescue Muslim and migrant women, these groups use gender equality to justify their racist rhetoric and policies. This practice also serves an economic function. Farris analyzes how neoliberal civic integration policies and feminist groups funnel Muslim and non-western migrant women into the segregating domestic and caregiving industries, all the while claiming to promote their emancipation. In the Name of Women's Rights documents the links between racism, feminism, and the ways in which non-western women are instrumentalized for a variety of political and economic purposes.
Описание: Lately, our nation's strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to "getting tough" with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers' behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success? Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectively--with their colleagues--make the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and whom to hire. Teachers with decision-making authority create the schools that many of us profess to want. They individualize learning. Their students are active (not passive) learners who gain academic and life skills. The teachers create school cultures that are the same as those in high-performing organizations. They accept accountability and innovate, and make efficient use of resources. These promising results suggest: it's time to trust teachers.
