Still Fighting

My Journey with ALS

By: Lesley Krummel

ALS is a degenerative, always-fatal disease. The average life expectancy after diagnosis is two to five years. It will take away your ability to walk, talk, breathe, and swallow. You will slowly become paralyzed and be dependent on others. Well, that will hit you like a ton of bricks! After about a year and a half of having symptoms and seven months of testing, Lesley was diagnosed with this horrible, nasty, unrelenting disease. This canaEUR(tm)t be true! She had done the Ice Bucket Challenge just four short years ago for another woman her age in her small Southwest Iowa town. This canaEUR(tm)t be happening to her too. It is supposed to be such a rare disease. Soon after her testing had begun, she started a small, closed Facebook group to use as a form of support and a way to communicate with family and friends. But God had something else in mind for this page. Suddenly, LesleyaEUR(tm)s page was reaching so many, and GodaEUR(tm)s Word was being heard. This is a funny, heartwarming, tear-jerking, and honest look at the authoraEUR(tm)s everyday life with ALS. With God and her faith, she is navigating untraveled territory, finding clinical trials for new treatments for ALS. As long as she is able, she will participate in clinical trials to help further research. She has also become an advocate for ALS. We need to get the word out about ALS. We need to create funding to further research. We need to find a cure!

Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene

Re-conceptualising human–nature relations

Hope and Grief in the Anthropocene

Re-conceptualising human–nature relations

By: Lesley Head

The Anthropocene is a volatile and potentially catastrophic age demanding new ways of thinking about relations between humans and the nonhuman world. This book explores how responses to environmental challenges are hampered by a grief for a pristine and certain past, rather than considering the scale of the necessary socioeconomic change for a 'future' world. Conceptualisations of human-nature relations must recognise both human power and its embeddedness within material relations. Hope is a risky and complex process of possibility that carries painful emotions; it is something to be practised rather than felt. As centralised governmental solutions regarding climate change appear insufficient, intellectual and practical resources can be derived from everyday understandings and practices. Empirical examples from rural and urban contexts and with diverse research participants - indigenous communities, climate scientists, weed managers, suburban householders - help us to consider capacity, vulnerability and hope in new ways.

Blossom

What Scotland Needs to Flourish. 2nd edition.

By: Lesley Riddoch

Blossom is an account of Scotland at the grassroots through the stories of people I've had the good fortune to know – the most stubborn, talented and resilient people on the planet. They've had to be. Some have transformed their parts of Scotland. Some have tried and failed. But all have something in common – they know what it takes for Scotland to blossom. We should too... Weeding out vital components of Scottish identity from decades of political and social tangle is no mean task, but it's one journalist Lesley Riddoch has undertaken. Dispensing with the tired, yo-yoing jousts over fiscal commissions, Devo Something and EU in-or-out, Blossom pinpoints both the buds of growth and the blight that's holding Scotland back. Drawing from its people and history as well as the experience of the Nordic countries, and the author's own passionate and outspoken perspective, this is a plain-speaking but incisive call to restore equality and control to local communities and let Scotland flourish.

Task Listening Student's Book

By: Lesley Blundell,Jackie Stokes

Task Listening aims to develop the listening skills of students who have had little exposure to authentic spoken English. It is suitable for lower-intermediate and also more advanced students whose listening has been developed primarily as a means to a grammatical or structural end. Each of the twenty-six units consists of a short tape recording and related tasks. The recordings are of people speaking at normal speed in everyday situations. Each unit has as its theme a setting or situation in which listening plays a major part, for example, at an airport listening for flight announcements or at a travel agency being told about different means of transport. In each case, having completed the necessary language work, students listen to the tape and extract the information necessary to complete a simple task, such as labelling a picture or filling in a grid. Related reading and writing tasks are provided as a follow-up to each listening task. Task Listening aims to help students to sift out utterances of relevance and ignore redundant features, a skill vital to efficient listening at all levels of language learning.
