You can see from the list below that I have read a lot by this author and generally really enjoyed them. I can't believe that I have never come across the Inspector Ramsay series before, but then it pre-dates both the Vera and the Shetland series. This story is typical of her later books. Very character based but with a compact group involved they are all brought tolife in the story. The style of writing , although much the same as the more popular later books felt, I thought, less well developed, but eminently readable nonetheless. The concept of the coursebook – its multimedia dimension – is a result of previous activities conducted by the Foundation: building the story of Global South for the recipients from Global North, told to a significant extent by the reportages, which document the events from the world. Apart from the substantive and informative values, its multimedia form is an undoubtful advantage of the coursebook. Visually attractive form and innovative looks will surely meet the expectations of a contemporary reader, who not only looks for information of global importance, but also for comprehensive presentation of data in the same, multi-dimensional, even global form. This is why, the chapters in seven big parts of the coursebook contain photographs, which are also didactical material themselves. But, it is great to see an author who has progressed so much in the last 28 years. Much better than to keep going making the same mistakes.The local schoolteacher, narrator, and the protagonist of A Lesson Before Dying, Grant Wiggins is initially reluctant when Miss Emma Glenn and Tante Lou give him the task of talking to Jefferson before he’s… As well as fiction, Cleeves has written a non-fiction title about Shetland and, in November 2015, she hosted the inaugural Shetland Noir festival. She is a passionate supporter and champion of libraries and was named CILIP's National Libraries Day Ambassador in 2016. The coursebook “Global Studies – Introduction to Global Education” was prepared by the HumanDoc Foundation together with the scientists from the Institute of Political Science of the Institute of Opole. The project was co-financed from the funds of Polish Aid programme of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Maya Angelou’s autobiography, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings tells of her life until she turned seventeen. The content of this book reveals that Angelou did experience immense pain and suffering in her life. It is not surprising that her poetry should talk about pressing on through difficult times, for she was forced to be strong through the most trying of circumstances. Throughout her life, Angelou was well known for fighting for civil rights. This is yet another reason that life was a challenge to her, as she stated in The Lesson. Life was a challenge, but it was one worth facing. There are a lot of similarities between the two sets. I was going to say ,except for the central characters, but on reflection there are likenesses there too. I am looking forward to seeing how the character of Ramsay matures through the series. The defendant at the trial for the murder of Alcee Gropé, Jefferson is sentenced to death by electrocution. During the trial, his defense attorney argues that the jury should show Jefferson mercy because killing…

Our open workshop by Katarzyna Boni, Polish reporter, attracted a lot of interest as well. Boni is interested in the problem of global education, especially in the area of ecology. At the same time, she is the co-author of the book “Kontener”, written with Wojciech Tochman. The book tells the story of Syrian refugees and their life in Jordan. The workshops by Bani opened students’ eyes to global education, making them realise that their personal choices and local actions, have their consequences in the global structure of the world. Multimedia coursebook “Global Studies – Introduction to Global Education”, prepared by the HumanDoc Foundation in cooperation with the scientists from the Institute of Political Science at the University of Opole, is the first holistic approach to global topics in our country. The material presents, how the problems of Global South and Global North are interconnected. Mutual relations and interdependencies have been depicted on seven different global dimensions, such as economy, politics, ecology, culture, media, new technology and society. All the materials have been prepared by five authors – young scientists, whose work and publications have already received recognition. What’s important, authors’ knowledge is based not only on theoretical materials, but was also obtained during practical study visits – in one of the biggest refugee camps, Zaatari in Jordan or from the scientists in Scandinavia, who share the authors’ interest in the field of global education.
