Ablaze, LLC Manix Abrera's 14
Book SynopsisABLAZE proudly presents "14", the second silent graphic novel created by Filipino comic artist, Manix Abrera. This graphic novel is also his first work to achieve a National Book Award (Category: Wordless Graphic Literature) in 2015, awarded by the National Book Development Board and Manila Critics Circle.14 tells the story of a human who mysteriously discovers a 13th floor on his building and finds himself in the middle of a storytelling session among different mythological creatures of Philippine folklore. Together with a partying crowd of supernatural beings, he listens to stories narrated by creatures such as the Manananggal, Diwata, Tikbalang, Kapre, Tiyanak, and even by a White Lady and a Doppelganger. With each creature taking the stage, describing wild stories spurred by their unique, terrifying traits and abilities, 14 is a grand narrative of weird yet wonderful tales, humorous albeit dark and spooky, surreal but unarguably true to the emotions of the heart. Stories like finding love then losing it, searching for happiness, getting lost, staying trapped, wanting to belong, dying to be born again – may all sound too human, but are also being experienced by these mythological creatures.Using absolutely no words in this graphic novel, Manix successfully tells the stories through careful planning of each scene and sequence. Frame by frame, panel by panel, Manix effectively renders each scene in detail and maximizes the power of images to completely convey the stories and emotions he wants to evoke in his readers. It is now up to you, the reader, to notice these details, to savor each frame, page by page until the big picture and meaning unfold sans the usual text balloons. Sounds mind-blowing!Reading without words is like talking without a voice, almost supernatural but not impossible. Let Manix Abrera’s 14 talk to you visually and take you into a truly exciting and totally unforgettable literary experience.

Fogarty, University at Albany, SUNY " Van der Meersch' s beautiful novel tackles the war from every angle: the violence of combat, the severity of occupation, the bravery and cowardice of a people. Better than any other account, this text captures the experience of war for civilians." - Yves " Brian Newsome' s thoughtful new translation of Maxence Van der Meersch' s acclaimed 1935 novel Invasion 14, which focuses on the French civilian experience of German military occupation in the Nord from 1914 through 1918, offers an invaluable complement to

Open University Press Understanding Behaviour 14
Book SynopsisDealing with challenging behaviour is normally the number one concern of trainee teachers and even more so for those who are training to work with pupils age 14+ whether within a secondary school context or post-compulsory college context. The aim of this book is to help the reader approach behavioural problems through meaningful self evaluation and reflection. This will equip the practitioner with the skills required to implement change within problematic relationships and environments and to explore a range of possible reasons as to 'why students behave in the way they do'. It challenges existing paradigms in order to break down barriers; substituting and encouraging professional responsibility for promoting positive relationships rather than the passive acceptance of unwanted behaviours, or a reliance on a culture of 'blame'.The idea is to move away from thinking about difficult or 'bad' students towards thinking about difficult relationships or environments.

Pan Macmillan Escape from Camp 14
Book SynopsisBlaine Harden is a reporter for PBS Frontline and a contributor to the Economist, based in Seattle, having completed a tour as the Washington Post's bureau chief in Tokyo. He is the prize-winning, acclaimed author of two books: Africa: Dispatches from a Fragile Continent and A River Lost: The Life and Death of the Columbia and the author of Escape from Camp 14.Trade ReviewThis is a story unlike any other because Shin is one of the few, if not only, long-term prisoners to have escaped from the North Korean gulag . . . The integrity of this book, shines through on every page. -- Barbara Demick, author of Nothing to Envy: Ordinary Lives in North Korea‘Harrowing . . . Harden’s account of Shin’s extraordinary, perilous journey through North Korea and into China (which has a history of sending asylum seekers back to North Korea) and later to South Korea is gripping stuff . . . bearing witness will be Shin’s legacy’ Daily Mail‘Harden sheds light on the horrors of North Korea, with a gripping account of the story of Shin In Geun’ Financial Times - Favourite Books of 2012'Until recently, full accounts of life in this famine-riven dystopia were hard to come by. Then a couple of years ago, Barbara Demick's Nothing to Envy provided excoriating testimonies of refugees who had managed to escape into China and then on to South Korea. The picture those witnesses drew of North Korea was of one vast and brutal gulag. Now comes Escape From Camp 14, a still more harrowing account of the gulag within the gulag, the huge prison camps that litter the more remote provinces of this benighted country. Written by Blaine Harden, an experienced American journalist, it tells the extraordinary story of Shin Dong-hyuk, the only person born in the gulag to have escaped’ Guardian‘Harden knows a lot about North Korea and he wears his knowledge lightly . . . Harden deserves a lot more than ‘wow’ for this terrifying, grim and, at the very end, slightly hopeful story of a damaged man still alive only by chance, whose life, even in freedom, has been dreadful’ Literary ReviewHarrowing story of a young man’s flight from one of the slave labor camps where as many as 200,000 political unreliables — a category that includes not just those who run afoul of authority but their relatives for three generations — are sent to be starved, tortured and ultimately worked to death. Harden’s book, besides being a gripping story, unsparingly told, carries a freight of intelligence about this black hole of a country’ * New York Times *‘A skilfully researched piece of book-length journalism uncluttered, as far as seems reasonable, with emotion. It is old now, the saying that for evil to exist, good men must do nothing. And that is what you take away, more than anything, from Harden's book. More than why the crimes against humanity are happening in the first place, more than whose responsibility it is to stop them, the question is why — for the sake not of politics but of mankind — is nobody in power doing anything about it?’ SpectatorIn depicting the depravity of North Korean prison life, Harden’s book is an important portrait of man’s inhumanity to man’ Washington Post

Booket 14 La autobiografa
Book SynopsisConsiderado como una de las figuras más extraordinarias de la historia del fútbol, su estilo futbolístico y su filosofía han influido en entrenadores y jugadores de la talla de Pep Guardiola, Arsène Wenger, Eric Cantona y Xavi. Los recientes éxitos del fútbol español, tanto a nivel de club como a nivel internacional, han sido considerados por muchos como el evidente resultado del impacto de Cruyff en el fútbol contemporáneo.14. La autobiografía, de Johan Cruyff, cuenta la historia personal y profesional de Cruyff, y nos revela la filosofía que definió su juego y que tanto ha marcado a generaciones de futbolistas, entrenadores y seguidores.El lenguaje de Cruyff es tan universal como su lógica, así que su obra trasciende a su persona, hasta convertirse en una religión cuya arma es inocua: se explica a partir de un balón y de un rondo de la misma manera que el juego depende de un centímetro y de un segundo, como se advierte en cada partido del Barça. El cruyffismo está más expandido que nunca desde que no está Cruyff. No hay un entrenador más cruyffista que Guardiola. Hasta Messi tira los penaltis como Cruyff Ramon Besa, El País

Un encuadernador en paro se desangra lentamente en la madrugada del 14 de abril. Su vida se apaga tras haber sido herido en una manifestación que pedía el fin de la monarquía.Así comienza este relato sobre la llegada de la Segunda República a todos los rincones de España. Una mirada humana que busca tanto a los grandes protagonistas del momento como a los anónimos participantes en esa jornada trascendental. Un solo día en el que caben, como en una tragedia shakespeariana, todos los sentimientos: la ilusión de las masas, el miedo de la familia real, la ansiedad de los presos, la ambición por el poder, la lealtad a unas ideas, la esperanza colectiva y el dolor de las víctimas. Las minúsculas vidas olvidadas por la Historia.Ganadora del II Premio de No Ficción Libros del Asteroide, esta cróni
