Queste poesie, scritte da Angela Wilson nell'arco di 17 anni, dal 2008 al 2024, sono la testimonianza, non solo, della sua sensibilità e della sua raffinata cultura ma anche del suo stato d'animo: fragile e allo stesso tempo infervorato dalla vita, dal desiderio di amare ed essere amata. Sono, soprattutto, un potente 'cri de coeur' nato da una ingiustizia subita che la spinse ad allontanarsi da Roma e causò, come lei stessa dice, «il suo esilio».

Helicopter pilot Sara Denning joins an all-male navy battle group with little fanfare—and that’s just the way she likes it. Her philosophy is simple—blend in, be competent, and above all, never do anything to stand out as a woman. But somewhere along the way, she lost herself—her feminine, easy-going soul now buried under so many defensive layers, she can’t reach it anymore.

When she meets the strong, self-assured Lieutenant Eric Marxen, those defenses start to falter. He coordinates flight operations for SEAL Team One and they begin to request Sara exclusively as the pilot for their training exercises. The end mission is so secret, even she doesn’t know the reason behind her mandated participation. With her career on the line she is able to compartmentalize her feelings, but when her life is on the line, can she follow the orders of her heart?

• Represents a major contribution to the field of early modern Netherlandish art and to general debates about the status and functions of descriptive art
• Features essays addressing a variety of aspects of the field, from the historiography of Dutch art to closely attentive readings of particular works

Teaching children to develop as language users is one of the most important tasks of a primary school teacher. However, many trainee teachers begin their career without a sound knowledge base.

Language Knowledge for Primary Teachers is the reader-friendly guide designed to address this. This book provides a clear explanation of the knowledge and understanding required by teachers to implement the objectives of the National Curriculum for English. It reveals how an explicit knowledge of language can enrich their own and their children's spoken English. It will give teachers confidence in developing children's enjoyment and comprehension of reading and writing so that they can use their language skills in the real world.

This book will appeal to all trainee and newly qualified teachers needing to achieve both the demands of subject knowledge for Qualified Teacher Status, and a firm understanding of the expectations of the National Curriculum for English.
