From the third century A.D. until the 1920s, the ancient city of Dura, which the Greeks called Europos, lay covered by the sands of time. Today, hardly a book that touches on the ancient Eastern Mediterranean or on the development of art and religion in the West is without reference to the spectacular discoveries made at this site on the western bank of the Euphrates River. The Parthian Temple, the painted Christian Chapel, and the standing Jewish Synagogue with its four walls covered with paintings from the Old Testament are vital sources for the understanding of pagan religions, Judaism in the early centuries of the Christian Era, and early Christianity. The chance discovery of Dura by British troops in 1920 and its subsequent study of French and American archaeologists resulted in one of the most famous archaeological recoveries of the twentieth century. Scholarly publication of the finds at Dura has been copious, but here the exciting story of the actual campaigns is revealed. As Dura’s riches are gradually uncovered through these chapters, a deeper understanding of their meaning emerges.
This book attends to four poets – John Clare, Gerard Manley Hopkins, Edward Thomas, and Ivor Gurney – whose poems are remarkable for their personal directness and distinctiveness. It shows how their writing conveys a potently individual quality of feeling, perception, and experience: each poet responds with unusual commitment to the Romantic idea of art as personal expression. The book looks closely at the vitality and intricacy of the poets’ language, the personal candour of their subject matter, and their sense, obdurate but persuasive, of their own strangeness. As it traces the tact and imagination with which each of the four writers realises the possibilities of individualism in lyric, it affirms the vibrancy of their contributions to nineteenth and twentieth-century poetry.

This is the third volume in this highly praised series (the first won the World Fantasy Award). Previous works have been praised for their eclectic mix of stories, offering a panorama of themes and styles. For instance, the 2021 edition included a story about a woman struggling with her identity and relationship in the face of a thought-recording device, a tale of a man fostering a rapidly evolving robot, and an adventurous narrative about a sentient robot dog engaging in space piracy. These stories not only explored advanced technologies and speculative scenarios but also delved deep into human emotions, relationships, and societal issues.Themes of personal struggles, such as dealing with depression, anxiety, and feelings of alienation, were also prominent. These were manifested through unique and powerful metaphors, like a woman whose detachable body parts symbolized her sense of disintegration and invisibility, or a story that portrayed the torment of self-contempt through the constant barrage of negative thoughts from imaginary entities.The anthology also ventured into mythic dimensions, echoing the voices and histories of entire cultures through concise yet profound storytelling. For example, flash fiction pieces in the collection reached the heights of epic poetry, encapsulating the journey of human life and cultural evolution.With such a backdrop, the 2023 volume continues this tradition of blending speculative elements with profound human experiences and cultural narratives. It's likely to feature stories that push the boundaries of imagination while staying grounded in the complexities of the human condition. Readers can anticipate a collection that entertains, provokes thought, and offers new perspectives on the future and the present. The anthology is not just a showcase of speculative fiction; it's a celebration of African storytelling, creativity, and the endless possibilities within the realm of speculative fiction.

I våra flerspråkiga samhällen är kommunikation och samverkan mellan människor viktigare än någonsin. Ett av skolans viktigaste uppdrag är därmed att ge eleverna möjlighet att utveckla sina språkliga förmågor, utveckla interkulturell och flerspråkig kompetens samt lära sig navigera i varierande kulturella kontexter. Denna antologi är tänkt att erbjuda inspiration, värdefulla kunskaper och praktiska råd till lärare och andra aktörer i skolan som ansvarar för språkundervisning och språkutbildning samt vara en resurs för lärarstudenter, lärarutbildare och forskare som arbetar med språk i en utbildningskontext. Antologin samlar texter som belyser språkundervisning ur både teoretiska och praktisk-didaktiska perspektiv. Med bidrag från verksamma lärare, lärarutbildare och forskare riktar antologin blicken mot dagens språkundervisning och belyser den spännvidd som finns inom den nordiska skolkontexten. Författarnas bidrag berör ett brett spektrum av klassrumspraktiker, såsom undervisning av språkliga kompentenser, bedömningspraktiker samt faktorer för språkundervisning och -inlärning. Idéen till antologin föddes i samband med att Fortbildningsavdelningen för skolans internationalisering (FBA) vid Uppsala universitet år 2024 fyllde 60 år.

It is the first publication to give the whole story of Theatre for Children and Young People and its development in the UK.

He went on to develop Drama School training for actors in TIE, then as Director of the Cockpit Theatre was involved in theatre in schools and the community.
