This book was inspired by conversations and questions I've had with students all over Australia. Conversations about all kinds of subjects in a variety of different contexts. Conversations with students just like you.Each one of these conversations reflects a moment of choice in the life of a student-a decision that student had to make at one time or another.You see, life is full of moments. Every day is full of moments.Some we expect, and some we don't.Some that generate joy, celebration and satisfaction, and some that reflect pain, confusion and grief.The fact is, moments matter. And how we respond and navigate our way through those moments is important because it influences what happens next.As you continue to grow up, there will be moments that are inescapable. My hope is that this book will give you the practical tools to know what to do when these moments arrive.

The breathtaking sequel to the acclaimed The Girl from Everywhere. “Fresh and exciting . . . truly the perfect playground for adventure.”—NPR.org “Thrilling.”—School Library Journal (starred review) Nix has spent her whole life journeying to places both real and imagined aboard her time-traveling father’s ship.

Dr Scott examines the intimate life of words in verse, with all their fluctuations of meaning, mood and tone.

Guillaume's theory of psychomechanics views language as systematic and semiotic, with the use of verb forms governed by the meaning we want to express, which is embedded in the unconscious resources of one's native tongue rather than in rules. Through his application of Guillaume's framework Walter Hirtle provides original insights on such topics as the treatment of the progressive and the perfect in English, the use of 'do' as an auxiliary in questions and negations, and tense and its relation to aspect and mood. Hirtle is the former director of the Fonds Gustave Guillaume, an archive of 60,000 manuscript pages of the theorist's work, housed at Laval University, the world centre for the study of psychomechanics.

Dismissed from her prestigious university job, Dr. Molly Whitcomb travels to a secluded Colorado mountain town where she takes a schoolteacher position and falls in love with the local sheriff, despite pretending to be married.

He had to save the world to redeem his sins. But the world had already ended. So he lurched along through his pointless corporeal existence, awaiting an overdue reunion with his perished family. Bereft of purpose in a man-made apocalypse, Noblé worked in the most suicidal profession, one known to expedite a longed-for reunion with his wife and daughter. They called it couriering, the simple act of escorting people, usually climate refugees escaping famine and drought, from one place to another. Desperate to leverage favor with the fates, he eschewed all material attachments and compensation for his deeds. As he dawdled over the years, playing at living while his mind was lost in the afterlife, a creeping and overwhelming feeling of failure to fulfill his destiny with his family took hold. The contagion of this intractable depression drove him toward suicide. On his way to die, he happens upon a benign, unremarkable young woman, who unknowingly holds the key to saving a once thought to be unstoppable global warming feedback loop. She possesses the one thing humanity needs to repent for its ancestors’ ecocide, and more important to Noblé, the one thing he needs to atone to get back to his family. His mind is mired in the afterlife with his loved ones, and the black hole pull of such a longing has him losing his earthly sanity more every minute. But fate, it seems, is not finished with him yet.
