West are settling into their new lives as students at the Academy for the Exploratory Sciences when Kit finds another mysterious map left for him by their father, the brilliant, famous — and presumed dead — explorer Alexander West. Why did Alexander leave the maps behind, and why are government agents so determined to seize them? What is really going on in a mysterious and unknown stretch of the Caribbean, famous for its violent storms and shipwrecks? And what is the huge contraption M. K. is building in her workshop? As two world powers come to the brink of war, Kit must find a deadly hidden island and unlock its secrets, hoping he has the courage to follow the trail of maps, wherever it may lead.

Book Description
A New York Times bestseller! They burned her home. They stole her brother and sister. But vengeance is following. Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country the past never stays buried. Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into an alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust . . . Red Country takes place in the same world as the First Law trilogy, Best Served Cold, andThe Heroes. This novel also represents the return of Logen Ninefingers, one of Abercrombie's most beloved characters.

Book Description
A brilliantly observed prep school novel about fraught teacher-student relationships--and about coming into adulthood. Ben Jameson begins his teaching career in a small private school in Northern Virginia. He is idealistic, happy to have his first job after graduate school, and hoping some day to figure out what he really wants out of life. And in his two years teaching English at Glenn Acres Preparatory School, he comes to believe this really is his life's work, his calling. He wants to change lives. But his desire to "save" his students leads him into complicated territory, as he becomes more and more deeply involved with three students in particular: an abused boy, a mute and damaged girl, and a dangerous eighteen-year-old who has come back to school for one more chance to graduate. In the Fall They Come Back is a book about human relationships, as played out in that most fraught of settings, a school. But it is not only a book about teaching. It is about the limits and complexities of even our most benevolent urges--what we can give to others and how we lose ourselves.

"Man, she's smoking hot and so adorable! There's just something about her that attracts me like gravity.

William... "You give your children everything and what do you get in return? Disappointment & heartburn!

"The story was great. Girl gets hurt in high school and years later plans her revenge, what can go wrong? Ohh my, so much! It was funny and sweet all at the same time. If someone asked me for a good vacation book, this would be on the top of my list." "Loved, loved, loved Her Perfect Revenge... Absolutely loved this book! The plot has more twists and turns than a mountain highway." "A true page turner... I read a lot of romance books. I started reading romance books in 7th grade . This one will be one of my favorites." "Could Not Stop Laughing; A Must Read... On a scale from 1 to 5, this book was a 10. This book is filled with scams that will have you laughing and shaking your head." "Perfect revenge... I absolutely loved this book! im usually into "vampire" books but i decided to try something different for a change and so i picked this book and i couldnt put it down!" "Bad Boyz, Bad Boyz..whatcha gonna do?... This book was great read. I actually stayed up until 3am this morning reading the book (resulting in lack of sleep last night and lack of focus today at work). However it was well worth it." "I loved this angsty read!... I read Her Perfect Revenge in one day, I couldn't put it down. Holy Mackerel was this an emotional ride!"

This guidebook provides ideas and strategies, as well as some background, to help with the effective revitalization of endangered languages. It covers a broad scope of themes including effective planning, benefits, wellbeing, economic aspects, attitudes and ideologies. The chapter authors have hands-on experience of language revitalization in many countries around the world, and each chapter includes a wealth of examples, such as case studies from specific languages and language areas. Clearly and accessibly written, it is suitable for non-specialists as well as academic researchers and students interested in language revitalization.
