Jade está a punto de comenzar el octavo grado en una nueva ciudad––Atlanta. Ella solo quiere regresar a Chicago, donde…
están sus amigos y donde vive su abuela. Pero Jade disfruta caminar a su nueva escuela por el camino en el bosque detrás de su casa, donde las flores florecen y las hojas se mueven debajo de sus pies. En el bosque, Jade se siente segura, como si el bosque la estuviera escuchando. Es ahí donde Jade conoce a Itztli, un cuentacuentos que existe entre los sueños y la realidad. Durante el atardecer, Itztli aparece transformado en un jaguar. Pero cuando habla con Jade, es un anciano sabio que hace intrincadas obras de arte y le cuenta las historias ancestrales de México. Al principio, las historias de Itztli se sienten muy alejadas de la vida de Jade. Pero cuando su abuela se enferma repentinamente, dos torres se derrumban en la ciudad de Nueva York, y Jade se convierte en alguien o algo que aún no logra comprender, las historias de Itztli toman un nuevo significado. Jade debe aprender a tener la paciencia y la fuerza para convertirse en quien siempre estaba destinada a ser, cuando un antiguo poder empieza a despertar dentro de ella.

Christopher Marlowe, a brilliant aspiring playwright, is pulled into the duplicitous world of international espionage on behalf of Queen Elizabeth…
I. A many-layered historical thriller combining state secrets, intrigue, and romance.England, 1585. In Kit Marlowe's last year at Cambridge, he receives an unexpected visitor: Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, who has come with an unorthodox career opportunity. Her Majesty's spies are in need of new recruits, and Kit's flexible moral compass has drawn their attention. Kit, a scholarship student without money or prospects, accepts the offer, and after his training the game is on. Kit is dispatched to the chilly manor where Mary, Queen of Scots is under house arrest, to act as a servant in her household and keep his ear to the ground for a Catholic plot to put Mary on the throne.While observing Mary, Kit learns more than he bargained for. The ripple effects of his service to the Crown are far-reaching and leave Kit a changed man. But there are benefits as well. The salary he earns through his spywork allows him to mount his first play, and over the following years, he becomes the toast of London's raucous theater scene. But when Kit finds himself reluctantly drawn back into the uncertain world of espionage, conspiracy, and high treason, he realizes everything he's worked so hard to attain--including the trust of the man he loves--could vanish before his very eyes.Pairing modern language with period detail, Allison Epstein brings Elizabeth's privy council, Marlowe's lovable theater troupe, and the squalor of sixteenth-century London to vivid, teeming life as Kit wends his way behind the scenes of some of Tudor history's most memorable moments. At the center of the action is Kit himself--an irrepressible, irreverent force of nature. Thrillingly written, full of poetry and danger, A Tip for the Hangman brings an unforgettable protagonist to new life, and makes a centuries-old story feel utterly contemporary.

This Routledge Handbook takes a truly global and multidisciplinary approach to exploring all facets of employee communication.Beginning with two key…
disciplinary approaches—organizational communication and public relations—scholars capture and define employee communication from both perspectives, addressing commonalities and bridging disciplinary differences. This volume places importance on the everyday communicative behaviors by internal members such as leaders, managers, inter/generational cohorts, employees, and those working on behalf of organizations, such as social media influencers, and on expansive conceptualizations of employee communication such as chatbots, environment, and global supply chain members involved in organizing. With a focus on employees in situ, the authors respond to these key questions: in what ways is employee communication relevant today? What does employee communication entail? How, why, and to what extent does employee communication influence or become influenced by organizational processes?Investigating antecedents, organizational contexts and processes, and consequences of employee communication, and offering key theoretical information and empirically driven recommendations for practice, this handbook will be an essential resource for students, researchers, and industry practitioners in employee communication, organizational communication, business and management, leadership communication, and public relations more generally.

Designed for introductory-level survey courses in the History of Western Civilization. The West: Encounters & Transformations takes a new approach…
to telling the story of Western civilization. Rather than looking at Western civilization only as the history of Europe from ancient times to the present, this groundbreaking book examines the changing nature of the West-how the definition of the West has evolved and has been transformed throughout history. It explores the ways Western civilization has changed as a result of cultural encounters with different beliefs, ideas, technologies, and peoples, both outside the West and within it. Presenting a balanced treatment of political, social, religious, and cultural history, this text emphasizes the ever-shifting boundaries of the geographic and cultural realm of the West.
