Critical introductions to a range of literary topics and genres. The Literature of Love is designed to introduce students to one of the central themes in literature. Focusing first on different types and aspects of love - physical, emotional, spiritual - it then offers a chronological coverage, aiming to illustrate ways in which attitudes to the representation of love in literature have evolved from Chaucer to the present time. Other sections of the book examine particular genres such as the love sonnet, the love letter and 'romantic' fiction; and the differing reception of this literature over time is also considered. The book includes extracts from a range of authors.

20-year-old Veterinary Nurse/Trainee Medical Officer Eva Hughes is junior officer on SS Moraturi, transporting 500 colonists to New Eden. Eva's responsibility is the domestic and farm animals they are bringing, but she is working towards qualifying as both a veterinary and a medical doctor. When you're 2.5 million lightyears from any other help, you can't afford people who only have single skill... After a gamma burst in the wormhole, Eva finds herself looking after colonists whose cryobeds failed, and who now show memory loss for specific things... After another wave of radiation, the ship slips out of the wormhole, somewhere, sometime... and Eva finds herself in charge of an impossible mission.

On 11th May 2009, Ward left Kirkham prison in Lancashire, the one-time top-flight winger had spent four years at Her Majesty's pleasure for drugs offences. His crime was renting a property in which cocaine with a street value of ?645,000 was found during a police raid in May 2005. Ward never denied his involvement. Broke and with no permanent home at the time, he had accepted ?400 a week from an acquaintance to rent a house for an unspecified "stash". He was sent down for eight years. He has always acknowledged his "stupid, terrible mistake". A footballer who was once spoken of as England material, Ward was ever-present in the best league season West Ham ever had (1985-86), and a top-flight player with Manchester City and Everton. In the first ever week of the Premier League in 1992, he helped Everton win 3-0 at Old Trafford. Later he was player-coach at Birmingham in a promotion season that saw silverware at Wembley. He had a beautiful wife, now former wife, who Ward jokes was "the original WAG", and part of "the good life of a footballer" which included a big house, flash car, nice clothes, foreign holidays, and a ?2,000-a-week contract, which in the early 1990s still seemed a lot of money in the Premier League. But the playing days ended, and a desperate fight to stay in the game - at lower-league clubs, then in Hong Kong and Iceland- eventually had to be given up. The decline led to crime, and prison. Ward occupied himself by writing his life story, by hand, on prison paper. He says: "I'm proud of my book. It's just an honest account of my life, no bullshit." Ward is outspoken about current players who have achieved notoriety for the wrong reasons. He talks about the escapades and run-ins with numerous well-known names, inside and outside football. In one astonishing chapter, "Shooting the Pope", Ward reveals how, at a 1992 fancy dress Christmas party at Everton, he shot team-mate Barry Horne, dressed as the Pope, at close range, in the chest, with a real gun; this incident was never before made public, nor were many others, until now.

Short but powerful story for older middle-grade readers about a service dog and her handler by educator and coiner of the term “faction” (fiction based on fact) Ward (Letters Home, 2004).On her second birthday, yellow Labrador retriever Maddie was awarded to Tom Ward, a Marine Corps veteran with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. Trained as a service dog since she was 5 weeks old, Maddie spent an additional two weeks training with Tom before they traveled to his home in North Carolina. The story details the ways Maddie assists Tom—opening the kitchen drawers and refrigerator, picking up things he has dropped, sensing when he is tired or cold, etc.—while also providing guidelines for young children on how to behave around a service dog. Through photographs and text (sometimes told from Maddie’s point of view), the reader learns that a service dog should never be approached or touched when working with a handler unless the handler gives permission. Some information on the progression of ALS also emerges in the story. As fitting for a children’s book, the story not only shows how Maddie helps Tom, but provides a glimpse into their life together—going to the beach, dining out, playing ball, and having a late afternoon snack. The author—Tom’s spouse—also provides information on the service organization that provided them with Maddie as well as other useful links. While the text is well-written and provides important, heartfelt information, the photographs elevate this work. More than words possibly could, they convey the close relationship shared by Tom and Maddie. In addition, seeing Maddie in action clarifies how she provides various services to Tom.Affecting, insightful, and informative account of a lovely service dog and her handler. ~ Kirkus Review Faction (fiction based on fact), Creative Non-fiction, ages 10+

Our Bible Fun Factory Lesson Plans are ”the essentials”. The lessons that every single Christian child between 4-12 needs to be taught.David was called “a man after my own heart” by the Lord God. Therefore we’ll be looking at some of his shining moments as portrayed in 2 Samuel. We’ll see that David’s actions can be a guiding light to us in school, at home, and in the neighborhood, and we’ll find ways that we can be like him. David is loyal (lesson #1), generous (lesson #2), not embarrassed by his faith (lesson #3), great at apologies (lesson #4), and he bridles his tongue (lesson #5). Students will learn to stretch and grow in all these areas.We have 3 core beliefs when we create Bible Lesson Plans:1) They should be EASY for the teacher to teach. 2) They should be FUN for the child.3) They should actually TEACH the child bedrock principles of the Christian Faith and the Bible.------------------------------------------------------------------Each of the Lessons Include:-Materials List (Don't worry, nearly everything can be gathered up at a moments notice from your own house. For example, you might need to grab a big spoon)-Complete Lesson (Including our much loved “teaching script” that tells you exactly what to say!)-Scripture Reading (we put the scripture reading in the lesson, to make it easy!)-2 Games (Kids LOVE games, each game teaches an important element of the overall lesson and lets the kids get up out of their seat and move around. Typically one game is geared to young children 4-7 and another for the 8-12 year olds)-2 Intro Activities (These activities get the kids engaged in the lesson and help to fill the time as kids trickle in.)-2 Lesson Activities (These activities vary from object lessons, crafts, treasure hunts, and more)-Closing Prayer (Our closing prayers are each designed to leave the kids with a positive message and reminder of the lesson).------------------------------------------------------------------Class Length:The lessons are designed to run for one hour, but can easily be expanded to cover more time if needed.Age Level:The lessons include age-appropriate activities, discussion, and questions for children ages 4-12. Equally effective with mixed age groups or single age classes.Prep Time:Each lesson was designed to be taught after only 5-10 minutes of prep time. You don't need to go around collecting craft materials or spending an hour before class getting organized. You can literally “glance & go”.Denomination:Our lessons can be used by churches of all denominations, as the topics covered are truly the foundation of Christian faith. In addition, any Bible translation can be used.
