Buffalo Creek Disaster

This is a continuation of the last edition's strengths of teaching students the principles of macroeconomics by tying economic concepts and theory to provocative illustrations and examples from contemporary world events. Schiller maintains a well-constructed narrative, relating the fundamental concepts and theory of economics to contemporary world events with which students are likely to be familiar. Throughout, global competitiveness motivates cost analysis - a trademark of Schiller's past editions and a proven pedagogical technique for the exploration of microeconomic topics. Schiller's careful, step-by-step examination of topics along with an extensive graphics programme and interesting boxed features encourage students to think critically about economics.

Deux mondes, third edition is widely regarded as the most communicative text available for beginning French courses. Based on the Natural Approach, developed by Tracy Terrell and Stephen Krashen, Deux mondes, third edition offers a way of teaching beginning language students that helps them develop proficiency, especially in listening and speaking, and allows students to participate in real discussion at a very early stage. The Natural Approach in general, and Deux mondes, third edition in particular, present material inductively (so that the activities drive the grammar) and in the context of culturally rich themes and topics. Overall, the third edition of Deux mondes offers users a streamlined presentation, with less material on each page, somewhat less vocabulary per chapter, and shorter and clearer grammar explanations. Changes to the new edition include all new readings and culture notes, two new chapter themes, marginal annotations for the grammar sections, a clearer, more attractive design, and video integrated with the Cahier.

Snow Country

Shimamura is tired of the bustling city. He takes the train through the snow to the mountains of the west coast of Japan, to meet with a geisha he believes he loves. Beautiful and innocent, Komako is tightly bound by the rules of a rural geisha, and lives a life of servitude and seclusion that is alien to Shimamura, and their love offers no freedom to either of them. "Snow Country" is both delicate and subtle, reflecting in Kawabata's exact, lyrical writing the unspoken love and the understated passion of the young Japanese couple.
