Noah Chance is about to graduate from high school and has beaten all the odds stacked against him from birth in order to reach this important milestone. Afflicted with Downs Syndrome, Noah’s high-functioning capabilities are not what make him so special. Rather, it is his endless capacity to love that sets Noah apart from most …that, and his ability to see and talk with the dead. Spencer and Jen are Noah’s closest friends, constant companions, and his fiercest protectors; a triumvirate that works so well until the afternoon when Noah introduces them to “John.”John is a 12-year-old spirit whose flesh was recently taken from him in the most sinister way imaginable. A child-molester named Silas killed him. Led by Noah, the trio head out to track down the murder scene, but soon discover they are on a collision course with something far greater than the murder of a child: an epic battle against the underworld and all of its hellacious inhabitants.

Illustrations and stories bring the music to life. The series showcases music from many composers from 18th century to the present day. Each piece is based on an adventure. Each book includes helpful illustrations and imaginative stories and gives brief details and portraits of composers. There are unusual instruments illustrated and follow-up activities for students. The series comes with accompanying cassettes.

Fortissimo! is a key stage 4 music course to fit the initiatives of the national curriculum with performing, composing, listening and appraising being an integral part. The material in the Fortissimo! CD's covers a wide variety of music from the 13th century to the 1990s and offers the chance to study musical styles and instruments from a variety of cultures. At regular intervals throughout the book, there are double-page colour spreads displaying fascinating visual stimulus material to spark off original ideas for composing and improvising.

This practical introduction is based on the author's own methods of presenting score reading. The emphasis is on 'keeping up' with the music, following the rise and fall in pitch, and interpreting details of the score. The book is accompanied by a cassette (prepared by Decca) of orchestral pieces and extracts which provide complete musical references, and a set of overhead projector transparencies. For groups which do not have easy access to an overhead projector, the book works perfectly well on its own as an expert guide to following and understanding a score.

Learn to use your most precious commodity―time―to truly live.Arnold Bennett’s classic book, How to Live on 24 Hours a Day, has been changing the way people use and consider their time since it was first published in 1910. In the intervening century surprisingly little has changed―we still struggle to make use of our time and are often plagued by the persistent worry that we are not making the most of our lives. Bennett encourages readers to stop merely following the rote patterns of their lives and leverage their free hours by viewing time as a commodity like money―each of us is allotted exactly 24 hours every day to spend as we see fit. What we make of our lives will ultimately be a result of what we make of that time. Bennett’s prescription is simple, but revolutionary: consider the time outside your work day as an entirely separate day, sixteen hours (give or take) during which you are free to do anything you like to grow and improve yourself and your happiness. Building on that premise, he helps readers begin to take control of their time―starting with just 90 minutes three times a week―and use it to truly live. Bennett’s writing is realistic and his advice transcends the years since it was first written. How to Live on 24 Hours a Day is an honest and refreshing perspective on how we can seize control of our time and spend it in the wisest way possible.
