Designed to complement any Key Stage 4 French course, this series of large-format French readers has a photo-roman style. This third book in the series, like each of the others, contains three stories of increasing length which are presented with manageable amounts of everyday spoken language in the form of speech-bubbles. The photographs complement the text and aim to bring an element of fun to the learning process. Also included are vocabulary lists and exercises, for which the answers are available separately.

Every generation or so, a team comes along whose march toward victory is so improbable that you can''t help but root them along. The 1950 Philadelphia Phillies was that kind of team; young and spirited, the Whiz Kids played a raw, emotional brand of baseball, nipping the Brooklyn Dodgers on the final day of the season to bring the National League''s perennial doormat its first title in 35 years. Hall-of-Fame member Robin Roberts, the team''s ace starter, peppers his recollections with snippets of oral history from his teammates to produce a book as lively as the team itself.--

Route Nationale is a French language course in four stages for teenagers. It is based on collaborative and independent learning opportunities and provides insights into the francophone world.

"What does the end of the Cold War mean for world peace? What kind of new world is being constructed out of the former East-West confrontation? The opportunities now exist to create a genuinely peaceful and just new world order. Paul Rogers and Malcolm Dando, widely respected defence analysts, show how this can be achieved." "A Violent Peace begins by examining threats to global stability in the post Cold War era. It looks at the transformation of the nuclear arms race in the 1980s. Do the current arms control processes really curb the development and deployment of the new weapons or will the armaments momentum built up in the last four decades result in more pressure for proliferation throughout the world?" "Recent events have focussed on the spread of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, ballistic missiles and area-impact munitions. As the East-West rivalries appear to diminish, will the industrialised countries of the North slip into a new pattern of confrontation, with the development of military force projection capabilities designed to ''keep the violent peace'' in the Middle East and other parts of the Third World?" "Above all, in a world of finite resources and increased environmental limitations on economic growth, will conflict between the haves and the have-nots usher in a new world disorder just as the ending of the Cold War appeared to be offering a chance of international peace?" "The agenda set by the authors for coping with the challenges now facing the world community includes not only traditional security issues such as arms control but also the wider issues of poverty, the destruction of the environment and the North-South axis of conflict. The intense East-West confrontation over the past 40 years has dominated strategic thinking and excluded large sections of the world''s population from consideration. It is now time to develop new thinking on international security to deal effectively with a changing but not necessarily a less dangerous world."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
