Marie only likes TV, and Keith doesn't like to brush his teeth, but what if they made a different choice? From sharing to trying new foods to getting exercise, Oh No! Ah Yes! helps young readers discover how making good choices is the right thing to do. "Oh no, the book has ended! Ah yes, we can read it again! Oh No! Ah Yes! introduces young children to dilemmas they face in their everyday lives. It presents them with opportunities to make the best choices. Children may recognise themselves in some of the scenarios included in this brightly illustrated story. The message that it feels good to do the right thing, comes through loud and clear!" - Diane Flynn-Hahn, Professor/Program Director, Child and Family Services Department, Schoolcraft College.
TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS is a series of books that open new perspectives in our understanding of language. The series publishes state-of-the-art work on core areas of linguistics across theoretical frameworks as well as studies that provide new insights by building bridges to neighbouring fields such as neuroscience and cognitive science. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS considers itself a forum for cutting-edge research based on solid empirical data on language in its various manifestations, including sign languages. It regards linguistic variation in its synchronic and diachronic dimensions as well as in its social contexts as important sources of insight for a better understanding of the design of linguistic systems and the ecology and evolution of language. TRENDS IN LINGUISTICS publishes monographs and outstanding dissertations as well as edited volumes, which provide the opportunity to address controversial topics from different empirical and theoretical viewpoints. High quality standards are ensured through anonymous reviewing.
One works. One looks around. One meets people. But very little communication takes place . . . That is the nature of this little island. As five apparently unrelated characters meet in a seemingly insignificant garden, the autumnal sun shines overhead and everybody waits for rain. What they discuss is superficially anything that can pass the time. What is portrayed is the very essence of England, Englishness, class, unfulfilled ambition, loves lost and homes that no longer exist. Storey's timeless play is a beautiful, compassionate, tragic and darkly funny study of the human mind and a once-great nation coming to terms with its new place in the world.
We’ve Got A Body In The Bath This is the 2nd edition of the fully annotated “The Complete, Annotated Whose Body?” with revised and added footnotes and essays, a gallery of book covers, and more contemporary reviews.

Sayers and Lord Peter Wimsey's cases. When a church architect finds a naked man in his Battersea bathroom, Lord Peter Wimsey is on the case! The aristocratic amateur detective, accompanied by his camera-bearing manservant Bunter, follows a trail of blood as he pursues stock market manipulation, medical malpractice, and Lord Brocklebury’s edition of Dante. But the curious case of the bathing body turns darker and deadlier as Lord Peter uncovers a ghastly crime. Published in 1923, Whose Body? was Dorothy L. Sayers’ debut novel. Bill Peschel provided hundreds of footnotes to guide the reader through Lord Peter's world, describing words, objects and ideas that were familiar to Sayers' readers but obscure or unknown today.
