Stay hidden or be hunted. Possessing a magical Curse is a criminal offense, making every day a challenge for thirteen-year-old Mason Davis. Blowing up the Christmas tree, tearing off the car door, giving the neighbors' dog three heads-his unpredictable power changes every twelve hours, and he has no idea what it will conjure next. Mason yearns for a normal life, but when the authorities pay the Davis family an unexpected visit, he is exposed and hauled away to a prison for the magically Cursed.As he plans his escape from the gloomy corridors, Mason comes face-to-face with a terrifying truth: someone dangerous knew his secret all along.With help from a shape-shifting boy, and a girl with secrets tattooed on her skin, Mason uncovers an ominous prophecy that is either the key to their freedom or the end of Mason and the Cursed forever.
On the Battleground, only one thing sets heroes and villains apart: choice. Thirteen-year-old Mason Davis and his friend, Abigail, are two of the mysterious Four Hexed3/4the most powerfully Cursed people in the world. After their narrow escape from prison, they must go into hiding as the authorities ramp up their efforts to recapture the fugitives. But when Mason's careless choices result in the discovery and imprisonment of another member of The Four Hexed, he must rely on an old enemy to find a way into the impenetrable prison, Hydra Solaris, to rescue her. What Mason uncovers inside is more horrifying than he ever imagined: a battleground that pits inmates against each other in epic Cursed contests for the entertainment of the world's most wealthy and elite. To save his new friends and return home, Mason and his unpredictable Curse must outwit the devious Commander-in-Chief and outlast the perilous tournaments on the Battleground. If he fails, he will come face-to-face with Hydra Solaris' greatest threat: the Curse-stealing creature lurking within the prison. And if it catches up to Mason, it could end both his magic and his life.
When Francis Schmidt, a bow tie–wearing law school graduate with a bombastic personality, got started as a volunteer high school coach, football still followed Victorian tenets of caution and simplicity and often employed fewer than fifty plays. By the time "Frantic Francis" had risen through the ranks of small colleges on the plains to one of the top coaching jobs in America—head coach at Ohio State University in the 1930s—football was a wild, wide-open game, largely because of Schmidt's own daring style. With a mind that never stopped thinking about football, he created a playbook ten times larger than those previously used during his era and filled it with daring, complex plays that broke all the decades-old golden rules of offense. This book tells the little-known story of the man who forever changed the way football is played—and whose coaching lineage can be traced to such current names as Bill Walsh, Al Davis, and Mike Holmgren. Frantic Francis offers an unforgettable portrait of an eccentric character whose paranoid, manic, brusque, and profane ways shocked and confused even his players, but whose speedy, deceptive, and imaginative plays remade the sport of football. Although Schmidt's mania eventually sabotaged his career, his legacy was secure and the style he introduced continues to make football one of the most popular spectator sports in America.

Vi er i dag 13 000 mennesker i Norge som har parkinson. Hver dag møter vi mennesker som tror at parkinson er synonymt med skjelving. Men parkinson er så mye mer enn det du ser. Denne boken er skrevet for alle som behøver kunnskap om parkinson. Håpet mitt er at nydiagnostiserte og andre med sykdommen kan få råd og tips som kan gjøre hverdagen litt enklere. Jeg selv har hatt parkinson i 20 år. I boken skriver jeg om hvordan man kan leve et godt liv selv med en slik kronisk sykdom. Jeg vet at jeg ikke kan sammenligne meg med andre, for som det heter: «Har du sett en, har du sett en.» Det er den som har skoen på, som vet hvor den trykker, sier et gammelt ord. Altså er det vi som kjenner sykdommen på kroppen, som vet best hvordan det er å leve med parkinson. Derfor syns jeg det er viktig at våre behandlere lytter til det vi forteller.

Varför älskar media en Lasse i toppen? Hur bryts teorier om klass, kön och etnicitet mot varandra och vad betyder det för den feministiska kampen? Varför gav Kommunals strejk för sina lågavlönade kvinnor så klent resultat? Hur mycket beror kvinnors underordning i arbetslivet på att de stannar hemma med barn? Är det stora problemet att oskyldiga män döms till fängelse för påstådda sexuella övergrepp mot barn eller är det ett större problem att få skyldiga döms? Tidningen Arbetaren samlar här ett tjugotal texter kring några av vår tids mest brännande feministiska frågor. Texter som både ställer nya frågor och ger svar, utan att förenkla de motsättningar som faktiskt finns inom den feministiska rörelsen. En bok ämnad att väcka din kamplust!

Brett McCarthy lives for vocabulary words, soccer, and her larger-than-life grandmother, Nonna. Unfortunately, Brett's got a big mouth she can't seem to tame and opinions she can't keep to herself. And she's obsessed with the moment she became redefined and went from good student, bestfriend-to-Diane to twice-suspended, friendless, and deadest meat in Maine. Soon her world has turned upside down, and she's not sure where she fits, what she should do, or how to make right what she, and her big fat mouth, have made wrong. Brett's fresh and funny voice will keep readers laughing out loud at her plights, groaning in sympathy at every misstep, and rooting for her as things go from bad to worst ever possible.

Brett Whiteley was one of the most dynamic and talented artists in the history of Australian art, an artist whose recognition had spread worldwide before his untimely death in 1992. Early in his career he established a name for himself in London, exhibiting at the Whitechapel Art Gallery and coming into contact with many British painters - Francis Bacon and David Hockney among others. His early paintings startled critics and fellow artists, but even at that point, two basic subjects were evident: the landscape and the nude, elements which became the mainstay of his oeuvre. At the root of all Whiteley's work was a draughtsmanship of stunning virtuosity, capable of capturing all the poetic arabesque of a river in a single sweeping line of brush and ink, or the erotic curves of the human body in a few searching strokes of charcoal. This volume presents an illuminating evaluation of Whiteley's achievement. Works dating from the 1950s to the last years of his life, illustrated in over 180 colour plates, allow Whiteley's career to be surveyed in its entirety. Barry Pearce, Head Curator at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, provides a comprehensive overview of Whiteley's life and art; Bryan Robertson offers an impression of the artist's years in London; and Wendy Whiteley, the artist's wife and companion for over three decades, contributes an intimate portrait of the man behind the work. Superbly illustrated and produced, Brett Whiteley: Art & Life is a fitting tribute to one of Australia's most significant artists, a man whose outstanding work excites, amazes and impresses us no less now than it did when first created.
