"The Stuff on the Inside" is a coming-of-age novel that follows a young student named Leslie Barclay. During his journey through college, Leslie battles with the finite nature of life, the collapsing health of those closest to him, and struggles to mask his identity crisis. The more the outside world fails him, the more refuge Leslie seeks within the walls of his college. Pursuing any means to cheat death and stay young forever, Leslie sells his soul to the masters that rule on campus. In this attempt to stave off the coming tide of adulthood, Leslie finds himself drowning in a sea of adolescence that he helped create. Only to discover a horrifying truth... you either get old, or you die. This novel touches on many adult conversations surrounding topics such as mental health, self-harm, death denial, and sexual assault. It is not intended for readers under the age of eighteen.

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The internet is a medium that produces disagreement by design. People are becoming more offensive and offended, and they do less listening than they do talking. #2 The American anthropologist Edward T. Hall introduced a distinction between two types of communication culture: high-context and low-context. High-context cultures are those in which little is said explicitly, and most of the message is implied. In low-context cultures, communication is explicit and direct. #3 The world we live in today is one of high- and low-context communication. We are more temperamentally egalitarian than ever, and as a result, we are encountering more people with different values and customs. #4 The low-context shift is being accelerated by communication technologies. We are losing our ability to discern someone’s intent from their eyes, posture, and movement, and we are relying on conflict-resolution tactics that were developed for the world in which humans lived 200,000 years ago.

Now in its second edition, this volume offers a strong synthesis of classic and current work in conversation analysis (CA), usefully encapsulated in a model of interactional practices that comprise interactional competence. Through this synthesis, Wong and Waring demonstrate how CA findings can help to increase language teachers’ awareness of the spoken language and suggest ways of applying that knowledge to teaching second language interaction skills. The Second Edition features: Substantial updates that include new findings on interactional practices Reconceptualized, reorganized, and revised content for greater accuracy, clarity, and readability Expanded key concepts glossary at the end of each chapter New tasks with more transcripts of actual talk New authors' stories The book is geared towards current and prospective second or foreign language teachers, material developers, and other language professionals, and assumes neither background knowledge of conversation analysis nor its connection to second language teaching. It also serves as a handy reference for those interested in key CA findings on social interaction.

With her signature warmth, hilarity, and tendency to overshare, Leslie Gray Streeter gives us real talk about love, loss, grief, and healing in your own way that "will make you laugh and cry, sometimes on the same page" (James Patterson). Leslie Gray Streeter is not cut out for widowhood. She's not ready for hushed rooms and pitying looks. She is not ready to stand graveside, dabbing her eyes in a classy black hat. If she had her way she'd wear her favorite curve-hugging leopard print dress to Scott's funeral; he loved her in that dress! But, here she is, having lost her soulmate to a sudden heart attack, totally unsure of how to navigate her new widow lifestyle. ("New widow lifestyle." Sounds like something you'd find products for on daytime TV, like comfy track suits and compression socks. Wait, is a widow even allowed to make jokes?) Looking at widowhood through the prism of race, mixed marriage, and aging, Black Widow redefines the stages of grief, from coffin shopping to day-drinking, to being a grown-ass woman crying for your mommy, to breaking up and making up with God, to facing the fact that life goes on even after the death of the person you were supposed to live it with. While she stumbles toward an uncertain future as a single mother raising a baby with her own widowed mother (plot twist!), Leslie looks back on her love story with Scott, recounting their journey through racism, religious differences, and persistent confusion about what kugel is. Will she find the strength to finish the most important thing that she and Scott started? Tender, true, and endearingly hilarious, Black Widow is a story about the power of love, and how the only guide book for recovery is the one you write yourself.
