Breath of Angel
The stranger’s cloak had fallen back, and with it, a long, white, blood-stained wing. When Melaia, a young priestess, witnesses the gruesome murder of a stranger in the temple courtyard, age-old legends recited in song suddenly come to life. She discovers wings on the stranger, and the murderer takes the shape of both a hawk and a man. Angels. Shape-shifters. Myths and stories—until now.
Unlike most ESL software out there, this software is specifically designed with the classroom and teacher in mind. Most software takes control out of the teacher’s hand almost to where the teacher becomes a hand model. I found this to be very impersonal and a bit of a boring experience for the students.
Keep Up ESL takes a completely different approach. The software is controlled by the teacher and incorporates over 20 different kinds of games to keep young learners interested for longer periods of time. No longer is learning English a chore. Students will want to come to your class and will be easily motivated to participate and have fun.
Impeached - The Trial of President Andrew Johnson and the Fight for Lincoln's Legacy
Fresh from his masterful The Summer of 1787, Stewart takes on one of the seamiest events in American history: the vengeful impeachment of Lincoln's successor as president; the Senate failed to convict Andrew Johnson by a single vote. At issue was the continuation of Lincoln's plans to reintegrate the South into the union after the Civil War. But also at stake, as always, was party politics. Stewart takes readers through a tangled web of motives and maneuverings in lively, unadorned prose. He's skilled at characterizing his large cast of characters and, as a lawyer, has a practiced nose for skullduggery, of which there was much.
