BBC Learning English: London Life
Another BBC World Services Learning English program. The London Life series ran from September 2005 to April 2007. The series covers 83 programs, ranging from ethnic groups living in London to the waxwork museum. Each program is accompanied by an audio recording, the transcript of the program, the summary of the program with a glossary. There is also a comprehension quiz with some of the articles. Excellent listening and vocabulary practice.
Jack Reacher. The ultimate loner. An elite ex-military cop who left the service years ago, he’s moved from place to place…without family…without possessions…without commitments. And without fear. Which is good, because trouble—big, violent, complicated trouble—finds Reacher wherever he goes. And when trouble finds him, Reacher does not quit, not once…not ever. But some unfinished business has now found Reacher. And Reacher is a man who hates unfinished business.
Return to a darker Oz with Gregory Maguire. In A Lion Among Men, the third volume in Maguire’s acclaimed, New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, a fuller, more complex Cowardly Lion is brought to life and gets to tell his remarkable tale. It is a story of oppression and fear in a world gone mad with war fever—of Munchkins, Wizards, and Wicked Witches—and especially of a gentle soul and determined survivor who is truly A Lion Among Men.
