Summary: Late on a hot summer night in the tail end of 1965, Charlie Bucktin, a precocious and bookish boy of thirteen, is startled by an urgent knock on the window of his sleep-out. His visitor is Jasper Jones, an outcast in the regional mining town of Corrigan. Rebellious, mixed-race and solitary, Jasper is a distant figure of danger and intrigue for Charlie. So when Jasper begs for his help, Charlie eagerly steals into the night by his side, terribly afraid but desperate to impress. Jasper takes him through town and to his secret glade in the bush, and it’s here that Charlie bears witness to Jasper’s horrible discovery. With his secret like a brick in his belly, Charlie is pushed and pulled by a town closing in on itself in fear and suspicion as he locks horns with his tempestuous mother, falls nervously in love and battles to keep a lid on his zealous best friend, Jeffrey Lu. And in vainly attempting to restore the parts that have been shaken loose, Charlie learns to discern the truth from the myth, and why white lies creep like a curse. In the simmering summer where everything changes, Charlie learns why the truth of things is so hard to know, and even harder to hold in his heart. ‘If we see a more entertaining, heartfelt piece of Australian literature in the next 12 months, it will be a rare year indeed – an Australian To Kill a Mockingbird.’ – The Monthly ‘It’s genius.’ – West Australian ‘. impossible to put down . There’s tension, injustice, young love, hypocrisy . and, above all, the certainty that Silvey has planted himself in the landscape as one of our finest storytellers.’ – Australian Women’s Weekly ‘Jasper Jones confronts inhumanity and racism, as the stories of Mark Twain and Harper Lee did. Silvey’s voice is distinctive: astute, witty, angry, understanding and self-assured.’ – Weekend Australian ‘Jasper Jones is a riveting tale, studded with laugh-out-loud and life-affirming moments yet underpinned by a clear-eyed examination of human weaknesses and misdemeanours.’ – Adelaide Advertiser show more

One of the major changes in this edition is the modernization of material about electrical and electronic equipment to reflect current practices. “Anatomy & Physiology Revealed” is the ultimate interactive cadaver dissection experience. Covering a broad range of clinically-relevant topics, including color vision and its defects, spatial vision, temporal aspects of vision, psychophysics, physiology, and development and aging, the Fourth Edition of Visual Perception has been updated to include full-color figures and many new clinical images. With emphasis on merchandising in the FTAR complex, the book looks at the entire process from strategic planning, to product creation, to product preparation, to a buyer’s shopping of the market weeks, to product delivery and presentation to the consumer. New articles covering environmental and post-Katrina issues provide the reader with information about recent concerns of Americans living in the United States. The text is organized in four parts: Part One: Understanding Services, which provides a historical context as well as distinguishes the distinctive characteristics of service operations; Part Two: Designing the Service Enterprise, which covers designing the service enterprise to support the competitive strategy; Part Three: Managing Service Operations that details topics such as Managing Capacity, Demand and Waiting Lines and Service Supply Relationships and; Part Four: Quantitative Models for Service Management that addresses forecasting and managing service inventory. *Learn better: The enhanced exercise sets and new pedagogy, like the Concept Checks, mean that students have the tools they need to learn successfully. This text focuses on problem-solving (applications) rather than theory, using MATLAB, and is intended for Numerical Methods users; hence theory is included only to inform key concepts. Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey Students will find the material more relevant and interesting because of the book’s unique emphasis on the Five Core Principles, the early introduction of risk, and an integrated global perspective. These changes may be divided into three categories: new organization, new material, and new pedagogical features. The writing style of the ten previous editions has been highly praised. Filled with over 200 detailed illustrations and tables, the book examines short-, medium-, and long-term energy options for the remainder of the twenty-first century. “Experience Reading” engages students personally, actively, and critically through an integrated print and digital program designed to prepare them for college–and lifelong–reading. It fills an appropriate and important niche by giving proper emphasis to what “actors” and activities can influence the quality of the planning process and its eventual impact on a community.
