From its greatest heroes to its darkest villains...the Bible as never seen before! The men and women of the Bible were not perfect, but nor were they ordinary. Faith gave some power. To lead. To save. To destroy evil. Others succumbed to the darkness. But still more was required. An ultimate hero. To fight the ultimate battle. Internationally recognised artists Jeff Anderson (Transformers, award-winning Angouleme Graphic Bible) and Siku (Judge Dredd, Manga Bible) recreate the epic stories of the Bible through their powerful and arresting illustrations.

A fun Tell the Time book for United youngsters and their anxiously competitive parents. The book tells the story of a United crazy kid preparing for and then going to a big match at Old Trafford. From the moment he gets up, the young Red pesters a succession of adults about the time (his mum and dad, grandma, the next-door neighbours, the railway station ticket seller, etc.), and when he eventually gets to the game he repeatedly calls out to the match officials about the time. Each double-page artwork features a different type of clock (i.e. alarm clock, kitchen clock, hall clock, station clock, stadium clock, etc.), and there is advice at the back of book about the half hours and the quarter hours. The book also has a clock with moveable hands cut through the front cover and all the pages, so the eager youngster (ably assisted by parent or guardian) can move the big hand and little hand as necessary to get the appropriate configuration on the dial. Educational and Red to boot!

If it weren''t for John Houlding Liverpool Football Club would never have been born. But even Houlding could not have predicted how successful Liverpool FC would become: no English club can match The Reds'' roll of honour at home and abroad: Five European Cup/Champions Leagues, three UEFA Cups, 18 Football League championships, six FA Cups; eight Football League Cups, plus numerous others. The Official Liverpool FC Illustrated History charts rise of Liverpool FC to the very summit of English and European football, from the struggles of the early years in the nineteenth century, through the domination of the late twentieth century, to the great cup successes in the new millennium. It tells the story of a club that is rich in tradition: the famous Boot Room ethic that has permeated every corridor of Anfield; plus the awesome support offered by the Kop, still a hotbead of football fanaticism. This updated edition recalls the deeds of legendary managers such as Bill Shankly, Bob Paisley and Kenny Dalglish, and salutes the achievements of more recent bosses, Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez and the current incumbent Brendan Rodgers. It also celebrates the litany of players whose names are etched in Liverpool FC folklore: from Alex Raisbeck and Billy Liddell to Roger Hunt and Kevin Keegan; through Kenny Dalglish, Alan Hansen and Graeme Souness, to the modern legends, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard and young guns Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Raheem Sterling. This is a fascinating journey through almost 125 years of sporting heroics, incredible victories and emotional near-misses; stories of triumph and tragedy; but, most of all, a tale of incredible passion and pride.

For courses in Reading Methods, Content Area Reading (Middle/Secondary), and Social Studies Methods (Secondary) American history teachers get the tools they need to teach students to use academic vocabulary and language to read, write, and think like historians. In this new practical professional resource, middle and secondary level American history teachers see how to engage in history in order to ignite student debates over topics or issues; read, write and think like historians to help students organize the domain-specific vocabulary words into ways that make sense; use general academic vocabulary and language to help students explore and learn about the past; and tap into the powerful roots of English to become equipped with the tools to help students become independent word learners for the rest of their lives. After setting the stage for teaching vocabulary in history, 12 independent American history units cover the four stages in domain-specific vocabulary instruction and related core activities and strategies, including building background knowledge, thinking like a historian, connecting vocabulary in context, and assessing vocabulary knowledge. The units parallel eras in American history and the related chapters generally found in American history textbooks. They provide flexibility for use as the teacher sees fit, with an eye to students'' needs and instructional objectives. Three helpful appendices include a look at the big picture graphic organizers customized for teach of the 12 units, three generative vocabulary assessments, and history teachers'' favorite go-to generic graphic organizers and ready-to-use blank templates.

Loin d''être parfaits, les hommes et les femmes de la bible n''étaient pas des gens ordinaires pour autant. Dans la foi, certains ont trouvé de la puissance pour diriger. Pour sauver. Pour vaincre le mal. D''autres ont cédé à l''attrait des ténèbres. Mais il fallait plus : un héros ultime. Pour mener le combat ultime.
