Like Mia, Grans has witchcraft running through her veins, and life with her is never boring. Plus, the cause is a good one-helping Grans get the local food bank up and running again.

Summary:

Being accused of treason against the paranormal community on Earth, and getting dragged out of my apartment by ECU soldiers was nothing short of what I deserved. It's why I let them have their way with me, until five masked witches manage to kidnapped me right in front of the soldiers.

They claim I stole a dragon weapon from them together with Jane Dunham, and now they want me to find it. In return, they'll offer me a trial with the ECU, a chance to clear my name and get rid of the death sentence looming over me like an angry cloud. It was all I could have asked for, and I was mere hours from getting my freedom back, when the commander of the Unseelie army comes to find me with some very bad news.

Now, I have a choice to make: save myself, or try to stop my father from killing half the Court and ruining the peace treaty with Earth.

There's a reason why I decided to start working on my own when Finn fired me from his Agency. Somehow, along the way, I forgot all about it, but the time has come to remember who I want to spend the rest of my life fighting for.

Contains mature themes.

Title: Schooltalk: Rethinking What We Say About and To Students Every Day

Author: Mica Pollock

Narrator: Jo Anna Perrin

Format: Unabridged

Length: 13:41:24

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Non-Fiction, Self Development, Health & Wellness, Education

Summary:

Words matter. Every day in schools, language is used-whether in the classroom, in a student-teacher meeting, or by principals, guidance counselors, or other school professionals-implying, intentionally or not, that some subset of students have little potential. As a result, countless students 'underachieve,' others become disengaged, and, ultimately, we all lose.

Mica Pollock, editor of Everyday Antiracism, now turns to what it takes for those working in schools to match their speech to their values, giving all students an equal opportunity to thrive. By juxtaposing common scenarios with useful exercises, concrete actions, and resources, Schooltalk describes how the devil is in the oft-dismissed details: the tossed-off remark to a student or parent about the community in which she lives; the way groups-based on race, ability, and income-are discussed in faculty meetings about test scores and data; the assumptions and communication breakdowns between counselors, teachers, and other staff that cause kids to fall needlessly through the cracks; or the deflating comment to a young person about her college or career prospects.

Schooltalk will empower educators of every ilk, revealing to them an incredibly effective tool at their disposal to support the success of all students every day: their words.

Title: Shifty's War: The Authorized Biography of Sergeant Darrell Shifty Powers, the Legendary Sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers

Author: Marcus Brotherton

Narrator: Graham Halstead

Format: Unabridged

Length: 08:42:39

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: History, Biography & Memoir, Military

Summary:

From D-Day to the Battle of the Bulge and more, here is the authorized biography of one of the most celebrated paratroopers of Easy Company, Sergeant Shifty Powers, the legendary sharpshooter from the Band of Brothers.

As a boy, Darrell 'Shifty' Powers's goal was to become the best rifle shot he could be. His father trained him to listen to the woods, to 'see' without his eyes. Little did Shifty know his finely-tuned skills would one day save his life-and the lives of his fellow paratroopers.

As one of the original men who trained at Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Shifty was one out of only two soldiers in Easy Company to initially earn the coveted expert marksman designation. He parachuted into France on D-day and fought for a month in Normandy; eighty days in Holland; thirty-nine in the harshly cold winter of Bastogne; and for nearly thirty more near Haguenau, France, and the Ruhr pocket in Germany.

Shifty's War is a tale of heroism and adventure, of a soldier's blood-filled days fighting his way from the shores of France to the heartland of Germany, and the epic story of how one man's skills as a sharpshooter propelled him to a life greater than he could have ever imagined.

Title: Institution Building in Weak States: The Primacy of Local Politics

Author: Andrew Radin

Narrator: Christopher Douyard

Format: Unabridged

Length: 09:12:58

Language: English

Release date: 08-25-20

Publisher: Tantor Media

Genres: Global Politics

Summary:

In Institution Building in Weak States, Andrew Radin argues that the international community's approach to building state institutions needs its own reform. This innovative book proposes a new strategy, rooted in a rigorous analysis of recent missions.

In contrast to the common strategy of foreign interveners-imposing models drawn from Western countries-Radin shows how pursuing incremental change that accommodates local political interests is more likely to produce effective, accountable, and law-abiding institutions. Drawing on extensive field research and original interviews, Radin examines efforts to reform the central government, military, and police in post-conflict Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Iraq, and Timor-Leste. Based on his own experience in defense reform in Ukraine after 2014, Radin also draws parallels with efforts to improve state institutions outside of post-conflict societies.

Institution Building in Weak States introduces a domestic opposition theory that better explains why institution building fails and what is required to make it work. With actionable recommendations for smarter policy, the book offers an important corrective for scholars and practitioners of post-conflict missions, international development, peacebuilding, and security cooperation.
