Tails from the Bushveld
Africa is a vast, exciting, varied - and at times, dangerous continent. It remains untamed in large parts and one of the few places left on Earth for those with an adventurous spirit. Richard Phillips, together with his wife Ann, has spent a lifetime in search of adventure across the continent. From the desert of the Namib to the delta of the Okavango, from seeking out the mystery of the giant kingfish that swim up the Mtentu River each year to perform their strange ritual, to becoming a millionaire and hitting the jackpot in Zimbabwe, Tails from the Bushveld is a book full of adventure. It is a story of charging elephants, being surrounded by monkeys, and seeing a 'UFO' - usually accompanied by a good glass of wine, and always with lots of friendship and humour. Tails from the Bushveld will excite, fascinate, and inspire the travel spirit inside you. But remember - there's always a twist in these tales.
(Out) on the Road
Queer people spend around $100 billion annually on travel, and are twice as likely as the general population to hold a passport. In short, they love to travel! Despite their lavish spending, queer travelers are often underserved. They are either overlooked when it comes to travel guides, or are encouraged to stick to a handful of "safe" destinations. This conventional wisdom doesn't build their confidence or validate their identities. Nor does it teach them how to advocate for themselves as travelers or plan off-the-beaten-path adventures to new places. And, with the advent of anti-LGBTQ+ policies across the United States and elsewhere, travel has become more fraught than ever for queer individuals. Weaving personal experience with data and interviews, (Out) On the Road empowers LGBTQ+ travelers to face their fears, expand their comfort zones, find community, and thrive on the road. This book provides readers with a framework for planning travel, navigating risks, and becoming self-reliant. Written in a tone that centers female and nonbinary points of view, (Out) On the Road offers a deep dive into the queer travel experience.
Into the Fog: Sherlock Holmes' London
Into the Fog: Sherlock Holmes' London leads readers through the capital as Holmes and Watson knew it -- a city of gaslight, theatres, grand hotels and shadowed alleys. This guide sets Arthur Conan Doyle's stories against the map of London, tracing their adventures from Baker Street to Brixton, from Pall Mall to Paddington. Real addresses stand beside the fictional: vanished lanes, demolished halls and invented squares, all layered onto the living city. Each entry places a story in its setting, exploring both the history and the imagination that shaped it. Whether stepping into a Turkish bath on Northumberland Avenue, following a Christmas goose to Covent Garden, or glimpsing fragments of the Red-Headed League off Fleet Street, readers walk the blurred line between fact and fiction. An essential companion for Sherlockians and London-lovers alike, Into the Fog reveals a city elusive, atmospheric and steeped in intrigue.
Bringing Innovation to EFL Writing Through a Focus on Formative E-assessment
As education systems worldwide grapple with the challenges of preparing students for the demands of the 21st century, the integration of technology in learning and assessment has taken a crucial stage. This pioneering study delves into the potential of Automated Writing Evaluation (AWE) as a transformative tool for formative assessment in English as a Foreign Language (EFL) writing. Set in Oman, where English is taught as a foreign language and traditional testing methods dominate, this research offers an in-depth exploration of student experiences with AWE technology. Grounded in socio-constructionist and constructivist theories, the study examines the diverse perspectives of 22 student participants through a mixed-methods approach, employing cutting-edge tools like NVivo, SPSS, and Microsoft Excel for analysis. The findings reveal that while AWE fosters holistic writing improvement and self-regulated learning, challenges such as overemphasis on minor errors persist. This book not only underscores the pedagogical benefits and limitations of AWE but also offers actionable recommendations for educators and policymakers, advocating for the redesign of EFL curricula to align with 21st-century skills. Exploring Automated Formative Assessment in EFL Writing is an essential resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers eager to harness technology for transformative learning and assessment in diverse linguistic contexts.

Buried El Dorado
In 1915, the discovery of oil in El Dorado had a massive impact on not only the area, but the entire oil industry. But what about the people who lived and died here before "the oil field that won World War I" was discovered?Long before Stapleton #1 appeared on the horizon, a new town in Butler County called El Dorado was founded, named after a legend that tells of a golden city somewhere in the Americas. Pioneers flocked to Butler County in the 1870s, lured by the cheap prairie land and big promises.The cemeteries of El Dorado tell the quiet stories of perseverance and hardship of these early pioneers' lives. Small family cemeteries, forgotten graves in vanished settlements, and a cemetery relocated to make way for El Dorado Lake serve as silent reminders of the individuals who shaped this land.This book explores El Dorado's early days through the cemeteries that preserve the memory of the pioneers who made it their home, long before oil reshaped the landscape.
