Written Language Production | SENTENCE STRUCTURE
A Step-by-Step Guide to Developing Sentence Writing Skills
by Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc
Support written language production through structured, leveled practice and visual scaffolding. Written Language Production – Sentence Structure by Alice Kassotaki, MSc, BSc, is the first book in the comprehensive Written Language Production series, designed to strengthen the foundation of written expression in children aged 7 and up. With a concise theoretical introduction and 206 carefully structured worksheets, this resource guides learners through six progressive stages of sentence construction—starting with basic sentence formation and moving toward independent writing without visual prompts. The book begins by introducing the distinction between oral and written language, emphasizing the unique challenges of written expression, which lacks the paralinguistic cues present in speech. It then systematically supports students as they develop sentence structure skills: from forming simple sentences, to using compound elements, to generating sentences based on visual stimuli, and finally composing sentences independently. Ideal for educators, speech-language pathologists, and special education professionals, this resource offers a practical, evidence-based pathway to improving written language skills. With its clear progression and user-friendly format, Written Language Production – Sentence Structure is a valuable tool for international publishers looking to expand their portfolio of structured writing interventions.

A Practical Foundation for Early Language Development
by Alice Kassotaki - Speech Language Pathologist MSc, BSc
Help young children build their first 100 words through structured, playful, and sound-based learning. First 100 Words | A Guide to Developing Speech and Language by Alice Kassotaki, MSc, BSc, is an expertly designed resource that supports the earliest stages of speech and language acquisition. Featuring a core vocabulary of 100 essential words grouped into 14 meaningful categories, this book provides a structured framework for helping children recognize, store, and reproduce speech sounds while gradually moving toward expressive language use. The first part of the book emphasizes sound awareness—guiding children to become familiar with phonetic elements, store them in memory, distinguish between them, and begin producing them. The second part moves into phrase-level language activities, encouraging progression through listening, imitation, supported production, and finally, spontaneous speech. At this developmental stage, the goal is not articulation perfection, but consistent use and understanding of words within context. Designed for early interventionists, speech-language therapists, and educators, this guide is a powerful tool for building a strong linguistic foundation in toddlers and preschoolers. Its clear structure and engaging approach make it an excellent candidate for international publishers seeking evidence-based, practical resources for early childhood language development.

Humanities & Social SciencesNovember 2024US public diplomacy in socialist Yugoslavia, 1950–70
Soft culture, cold partners
by Carla Konta
The first comprehensive account of the public and cultural diplomacy campaigns carried out by the US in Yugoslavia during the height of the Cold War, this book examines the political role of culture in US-Yugoslav bilateral relations and the fluid links between information and propaganda. Tito allowed the US Information Agency and the State Department's cultural programmes to enter Yugoslavia, liberated from Soviet control. The exchange of intellectual and political personnel helped foster the US-Yugoslav relationship, yet it posed severe ideological challenges for both sides. By providing new insights into porous borders between freedom and coercion in Tito's regime, this book shows how public diplomacy acted as an external input for Yugoslav liberalisation and dissident movements. Using extensive archival research and interviews, Konta analyses the links between information and propaganda, and the unintended effects of propaganda beyond the control of producers and receivers.

Literature & Literary StudiesJuly 2022Nordic Gothic
by Maria Holmgren Troy, Johan Hõglund, Yvonne Leffler, Sofia Wijkmark
Nordic Gothic traces Gothic fiction in the Nordic region from its beginnings in the nineteenth century, with a main focus on the development of Gothic from the 1990s onwards in literature, film, TV and new media. The volume gives an overview of Nordic Gothic fiction in relation to transnational developments and provides a number of case studies and in-depth analyses of individual narratives. It creates an understanding of this under-researched cultural phenomenon by showing how the narratives make visible cultural anxieties haunting the Nordic countries, their welfare systems, identities and ideologies. Nordic Gothic examines how figures from Nordic folklore function as metaphorical expressions of Gothic themes and Nordic settings are explored from perspectives such as ecocriticism and postcolonialism. The book will be of interest to researchers and post- and- undergraduate students in various fields within the Humanities.

Humanities & Social SciencesMarch 2017The harem, slavery and British imperial culture
Anglo-Muslim relations in the late nineteenth century
by Diane Robinson-Dunn
This book focuses on British efforts to suppress the traffic in female slaves destined for Egyptian harems during the late-nineteenth century. It considers this campaign in relation to gender debates in England, and examines the ways in which the assumptions and dominant imperialist discourses of these abolitionists were challenged by the newly-established Muslim communities in England, as well as by English people who converted to or were sympathetic with Islam. While previous scholars have treated antislavery activity in Egypt first and foremost as an extension of earlier efforts to abolish plantation slavery in the New World, this book considers it in terms of encounters with Islam during a period which it argues marked a new departure in Anglo-Muslim relations. This approach illuminates the role of Islam in the creation of English national identities within the global cultural system of the British Empire. This book would appeal to those with an interest in British imperial history; Islam; gender, feminism, and women's studies; slavery and race; the formation of national identities; global processes; Orientalism; and Middle Eastern studies.

Lifestyle, Sport & LeisureFebruary 2012Foreign players and football supporters
The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain
by David Ranc
'Mercenaries', 'cheats', 'destroying the soul of (English) football', 'destroying the link between football clubs and their supporters': foreign football players have been accused of being at the origin of all the ills of contemporary football. How true is this? Foreign players and football supporters: The Old Firm, Arsenal, Paris Saint-Germain is the first academic book to look at supporters' reactions to the increase in the number of foreign players in the very clubs they support week in week out. It shows that football supporters identify with their club through a variety of means, which may change or be replaced with others, and provides the most comprehensive view on football supporters' attachment to their club in the European Union, following the increase in European legislation. Divided into three case studies on Glasgow (Celtic and Rangers), Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal in London, the book adopts a multidisciplinary approach to chart the evolution of the link between supporters and club between 1995 and today. It is based on extensive research through the press of three nations, as well as interviews with officials and supporters. It provides an excellent read for students and researchers in Sports Studies, Politics, European Studies, French Studies and other Social Sciences, or to anyone interested in one of the most original institutions of contemporary western societies: mass spectator sports. ;

Biography & True StoriesMay 2025Mrs Dalloway
Biography of a novel
by Mark Hussey
A compelling biography of one of the most celebrated novels in the English language. The fourth and best-known of Virginia Woolf's novels, Mrs Dalloway is a modernist masterpiece that has remained popular since its publication in 1925. Its dual narratives follow a day in the life of wealthy housewife Clarissa Dalloway and shell-shocked war veteran Septimus Warren Smith, capturing their inner worlds with a vividness that has rarely been equalled. Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel offers new readers a lively introduction to this enduring classic, while providing Woolf lovers with a wealth of information about the novel's writing, publication and reception. It follows Woolf's process from the first stirrings in her diary through her struggles to create what was quickly recognised as a major advance in prose fiction. It then traces the novel's remarkable legacy to the present day. Woolf wrote in her diary that she wanted her novel 'to give life & death, sanity & insanity. to criticise the social system, & to show it at work, at its most intense.' Mrs Dalloway: Biography of a novel reveals how she achieved this ambition, creating a book that will be read by generations to come.

Humanities & Social SciencesOctober 2021Ireland and the European Union
Economic, political and social crises
by Michael Holmes, Kathryn Simpson, Dimitris Papadimitriou, Kathryn Simpson, Paul Tobin
This book examines how Ireland's relationship with the EU was affected by a succession of crises in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The financial crisis, the Brexit crisis and the migration crisis were not of equal significance on the island of Ireland. The financial crisis was a huge issue for the Republic but not Northern Ireland, Brexit had a major impact in both polities, the migration and populism issues were less controversial, while foreign policy challenges had a minimal impact. The book provides a summary of the main features of each of the crises to be considered, from both the EU and the Irish perspective. Ireland and the European Union is the first volume of its kind to provide a comprehensive analysis on British-Irish relations in the context of Brexit. It assesses the Withdrawal Agreement and Protocol on Ireland/Northern Ireland, the devolution settlement and the 1998 Agreement, as well as the European dimension to Northern Ireland's peace process. The contributors explore a number of policy areas that are central to the understanding of each of the crises and the impact of each for Ireland. Chapters examine issues such as security, migration and taxation as well as protest politics, political parties, the media, public opinion and the economic impact of each of these crises on Ireland's relationship with the EU.

Humanities & Social SciencesApril 2020The British political elite and Europe, 1959-1984
A higher loyalty
by Bob Nicholls
This book offers an original interpretation of Britain's relationship with Europe over a 25 year period: 1959-84 and advances the argument that the current problems over EU membership resulted from much earlier political machinations. This evidence based account of the seminal period analyses the applications for EEC membership, the 1975 referendum, and the role of the press. Was the British public misled over the true aims of the European project? How significant was the role of the press in changing public opinion from anti, to pro Common Market membership? Why, after over 40 years since Britain became a member of the European community, does the issue continue to deeply divide not only the political elite, but also the British public? These, and other pertinent questions are answered in this timely book on a subject that remains topical and highly controversial.

Literature & Literary StudiesJune 2025Contemporary Slavic horror across media
Cursed zones
by Agnieszka Jezyk
In the Western cultural production that puts individual or collective fear at its center, East/Central Europe has been portrayed as an othered space of horror - lawless, frightening zones where anything can happen. Incorporating articles on literature, film, visual arts, video games, music videos, and music festivals, Contemporary Slavic horror across media: Cursed zones is a pioneering anthology of academic essays devoted to Slavic horror fiction. The book focuses on works from the mid-20th century through the present, particularly the post-Soviet period. Assessing current trends in Czech, Polish, Russian, Slovak, Ukrainian, and East/Central European horror media, the book looks at similarities and idiosyncrasies of the genre in its Slavic variant. With this anthology we hope to tame 'the Easterner Other' and start exorcising 'monstrous' East/Central Europe.
