This guide is designed to help anyone involved with the preparation
of language tests, and particularly those wishing to make use of the Council of
Europe's "Common European Framework of Reference for languages: Learning,
,teaching, assessment". The
aim has been to make the content of the guide relevant not only to test
constructors preparing tests in a more formal context such as state
examinations, but also to teachers working on school tests. Achieving the
correct balance in trying to meet the needs of these two groups has presented
something of a challenge; for this reason, readers are encouraged to consider
and implement the advice contained in this guide in the light of their purpose
in preparing tests and the amount of time and resources they have available.
The focus is largely on matters of process
rather than those of product, in the belief that suitable products emerge from
clear principles and well-designed processes rather than the other way round.
The Complete Beatles Chronicle Probably the greatest and most authoritative document about The Beatles ever written. Every working day of the Beatles career covered. This book reconstructs each day of their career, encompassing every stage appearance, all of their film, video, TV, and radio work, and, of course, every recording session. The content is arranged on a chronological basis with an introduction to each year providing an overview to the twelve months developments. Then a diary section describes every working days events.The Complete Beatles Chronicle is the first to tell the whole story, from their very first tentative performances in 1950's Liverpool church halls and social clubs through the beat boom and psychedelia to their irrevocable split in 1970. In between they had, in the words of John Lennon, "Given everything on God's earth" - as this book so clearly demonstrates - and created a body of work which will never be rivalled.
For every Beatles fan, past, present of future, this is the one and only indispensable guide to those remarkable Beatles years.

In Cell King taps into readers fears of technological warfare and terrorism. Mobile phones deliver the apocalypse to millions of unsuspecting humans by wiping their brains of any humanity, leaving only aggressive and destructive impulses behind. Those without cell phones, like illustrator Clayton Riddell and his small band of "normies," must fight for survival, and their journey to find Clayton's estranged wife and young son rockets the book toward resolution.

"I have written this book, and made it free, as a way of giving back to the writing community. I have already heard back from many writers that, as a result of reading it and applying its principles, they have found representation and launched their careers. Nothing could make me happier. I hope that you will put it to use, and find much success with your career." - Noah Lukeman
