![]() This dwindling concern is on the brink of an aggressive buyout by a sparring partner of Lucy’s (Scott Speedman). Meanwhile, they seem to have nothing useful to put out – at least, until documents surface with Shaw’s signature on them, which prove he has owed the company another novel all these years. One such person is Lucy Stanbridge ( Aubrey Plaza), the new head of the boutique firm she’s inherited from her father, who was responsible for Shaw’s fame way back when. He’s equal parts Hemingway, Salinger and Lowry, and few in the publishing industry even know he’s still around. He has spent the ensuing decades becoming a cantankerous recluse, swigging Black Label at the typewriter. ![]() ![]() ![]() This isn’t just a prestige cameo but a meaty leading role: he plays Harris Shaw, a British novelist fêted for one runaway success in the 1970s. Nearing 90, Michael Caine is still a force, and the prospect of watching it unleashed justifies watching even Best Sellers, an ambling literary comedy. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Someone had pounded a series of heavy-duty nails all around the room, then tangled a string of fairy lights around them. The ceiling here was a dark, bare wood, sloped until it almost touched the equally bare wooden floors. We emerged in that familiar attic warmth. The stairs-more ladder than stairs, really-shuddered and creaked with each step. We just had to relax.Īddie pressed our lips together and moved forward. But an attic we could handle, especially if it had windows and wasn’t too cramped. I’d said as much back at Nornand, when we’d been forced to climb into a torturously small machine for testing. Having a panic attack here, in front of everyone, would be devastating. “Go on,” Jackson said, gesturing up the stairs. He’d lowered the heavy lid, his friend watching behind him. So Addie and I crawled inside, curled up to fit in the darkness. But more than anything, I remembered the biggest trunk, because that boy, he’d said, No one will look in there. There had been an ornate, old-fashioned trunk. A dead sort of heat, the kind that sucks all the air from a room. Because he’d picked us to go with him, and I’d been hopeful. Addie had hesitated, but I’d said Go.īecause he’d beckoned. Two boys had headed for the attic, one pausing halfway up the stairs to beckon us up with them. I’d told Addie to follow the others into the house. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The suspension-of-disbelief Kool-Aid he serves goes down so easy that every piece of the story-no matter how outlandish-makes perfect sense. As in his previous efforts ( The Monstrumologist, 2009, etc.), Yancey excels in creating an alternative world informed by just enough logic and sociology to make it feel close enough to our own. She then embarks on a mission to rescue her brother. Cassie escapes, only to see her dad (and everyone else) brutally executed by their so-called protectors. Cassie, her dad and the rest of the adults are then divested of their weapons and marched into a bunker by their protectors. Together, the three wait out the titular fifth in a military base for survivors until school buses arrive to take all children to safety, including her brother Sam. Sixteen-year-old Cassie, her brother Sam and her dad survived the first four gruesome waves of the attack. The challenge? Surviving the genocide of the human race when aliens attack Earth in the not-too-distant future. ![]() ![]() ![]() Drawing on concepts of action research promoted by Stephen Kemmis and Batchelor Institute, the authors seek to renew the value and purpose of action research as underpinning the both-ways philosophy applied to early childhood education teaching, learning and research at the Institute. ![]() This has continued in some form despite the fact that many decisions affecting community life have been dominated by policies and programs which have originated from outside the communities concerned. The early childhood education pedagogy and curriculum at the Institute has been driven by community-based action research for over 30 years. In this chapter, the authors reflect on the contribution that action research has made to their teaching and research in the sphere of early childhood education at the Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BI). Action research has been adopted as an ethical and effective way of working with remote Indigenous communities in the Northern Territory (NT) of Australia because of its capacity to engage people in defining and addressing issues of local concern. ![]() ![]() attempt to outline some principles which will assist humanity to continue to live with biodiversity. In a similar vein, the Kari-Oca Declaration and the Indigenous Peoples’ Earth Charter begins with the following statement in its preamble: “We, the Indigenous Peoples, walk to the future in the footprints of our ancestors” (in Posey and Dutfield 1996: 189).1 Wild politics is the view that diversity is central to the existence of life, to the sustenance of the planet, and to the health of human society. ![]() In that case, she said, we have a 40,000-year plan. This idea comes from a talk originally given in Australia by Lilla Watson in 1984 on “Aboriginal Women and Feminism.” Watson commented that to Aboriginal people in Australia, the future extends as far forward as the past.

Her understanding of the world and her prejudices shift, as do social attitudes.
