If I told you that the 'happily-ever-after' romantic relationship that many of us desire is a real possibility, would you be interested in knowing how? Of course, you would And as such, I would like to invite you to take a blissful stroll with me down memory lane as I recount to you my incredible journey of how that happened for me. And in so doing, I will share with you my heart's conviction that this incredible blessing is not just for a select few, but a reality waiting to happen for everyone who understands how it is designed to start. Let the arrow of love soften your heart for a few moments and go with me on this exciting adventure as I tell you of "The Engagement Chronicles: How A Love Story Written In Heaven Began On Earth"...
Selected by The Atlantic as one of THE GREAT AMERICAN NOVELS. ("You have to read them.") The New York Times best-selling author's time-travel classic that makes us feel the horrors of American slavery and indicts our country's lack of progress on racial reconciliation "I lost an arm on my last trip home. My left arm." Dana's torment begins when she suddenly vanishes on her 26th birthday from California, 1976, and is dragged through time to antebellum Maryland to rescue a boy named Rufus, heir to a slaveowner's plantation. She soon realizes the purpose of her summons to the past: protect Rufus to ensure his assault of her Black ancestor so that she may one day be born. As she endures the traumas of slavery and the soul-crushing normalization of savagery, Dana fights to keep her autonomy and return to the present. Blazing the trail for neo-slavery narratives like Colson Whitehead's The Underground Railroad and Ta-Nehisi Coates's The Water Dancer, Butler takes one of speculative fiction's oldest tropes and infuses it with lasting depth and power. Dana not only experiences the cruelties of slavery on her skin but also grimly learns to accept it as a condition of her own existence in the present. "Where stories about American slavery are often gratuitous, reducing its horror to explicit violence and brutality, Kindred is controlled and precise" (New York Times).

Comparative Psychology and Educational Outcomes is designed to empower educators to lead with wisdom, strengthen their belief that all students can learn at high standards, and create a vision of excellence that becomes actionable, allowing us to be difference makers in the lives of all learners.The framework of the Logic Model creates a road map for how to analyse the effectiveness of our instruction. This model offers a systematic approach for determining the root cause analysis of an identified challenge, avoiding the pitfall of enacting a solution before we have named the challenge, thereby perpetuating inadequate learning outcomes. This text presents case studies to demonstrate how this analytic process can be used to examine and strengthen literacy and social intelligence skills, including the exploration of a variety of teaching and learning frameworks. This text builds a bridge between the research and a school’s identified challenge, allowing for systemic and systematic change that meets the needs of the identified challenge, guided by the experts in our field.Connecting evidence-based strategies with day-to-day practice, this book is aimed at educational leaders (principals, superintendents, special education directors, teachers) in their role as practitioners and those working toward their certifications in the university setting.

The follow-up to Kindred, the #1 bestseller, comes Octavia E. Butler’s groundbreaking dystopian novel In this graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s Parable of the Sower, by Damian Duffy and John Jennings, the award-winning team behind the #1 bestseller Kindred: A Graphic Novel Adaptation, the author portrays a searing vision of America’s future. In the year 2024, the country is marred by unattended environmental and economic crises that lead to social chaos. Lauren Olamina, a preacher’s daughter living in Los Angeles, is protected from danger by the walls of her gated community. However, in a night of fire and death, what begins as a fight for survival soon leads to something much more: a startling vision of human destiny . . . and the birth of a new faith.
This gripping graphic novel adaptation of Octavia E. Butler’s groundbreaking dystopian novel stands beside the acclaimed previous graphic novel adaptations, Kindred, a #1 New York Times bestseller, and Parable of the Sower, winner of the Hugo Award Set against a background of a war-torn continent under the control of a Christian fundamentalist fascist state, Parable of the Talents is a modern masterpiece that resonates powerfully.

Asha searches for answers about her past while struggling to reconcile with her mother’s legacy—caught between her duty to her chosen family and her calling to lead humankind into a better future among the stars.
