Carol Miller

BOOK DESCRIPTIONWhat is this book about? "This and that, here and there", her childhood, her travels, her husband and children, told with verve and shared with joy. There is always something remarkable lurking just ahead, down the road, around a bend, inside the history of a little-known culture, into the background or the mirror image that enhances as much as it reveals. Much of the book is set in Los Angeles where she was born and grew up, a great deal has to do with Mexico where she lives, "the world beyond the mirror", of mysteries and secrets and shifting shadows, "where the sun shines and the wind blows". Carol Miller is probably one of the most interesting women of her time, with a life right out of a fairy tale. This is her most personal book to date.

When a rival fortune teller holds a s�ance to determine the identity of the Hermit's murderer, Hope and Summer find themselves accused of the crime. Can they clear their name and figure out who the real culprit is before the book falls into the wrong hands?

The second entry in the fun-filled The Fortune Telling Mysteries series sees the Bailey sisters offering light-hearted fortune telling for charity that soon turns deadly. Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. The annual charity festival is approaching, and the sisters are roped in to offering fortune telling to raise money. Before proceedings can begin, Summer receives a bad Tarot card reading. She fears she'll be left destitute from her upcoming divorce battle as the realtor charged with selling her and her soon-to-be ex-husband's home, Davis Scott, keeps making unwelcome appearances. Davis's most troublesome appearance comes when he's found dead at the festival. Davis had a bad reputation amongst the Ashville community, but who would go to the lengths of killing him . . . and during a charity event, no less! The Tarot cards predicted a death, but do they hold clues to who the murder is?

The Bailey sisters may be the only ones able to interpret the meaning behind a bizarre series of murders in the first entry in the hilarious The Fortune Telling Mysteries series. Sisters Hope and Summer Bailey run Bailey's Boutique, a mystic shop in Asheville, North Carolina. While Hope's performing a palm reading a local doctor, Dylan Henshaw, bursts in, accusing them of trying to kill his patient with a tincture. The confrontation is interrupted by the arrival of the sisters' grandmother, Gram, who announces that one of her friends has died suddenly. It looks like a simple allergic reaction . . . but why has a solitary Tarot card - the Fool - been placed on the body? When another of Gram's friends dies in similar circumstances, with the Fool card also left at the scene, it's surely no coincidence. Although Hope is hesitant to read the Tarot again following a recent tragedy, she might be the only one capable of deciphering the clues. Can she overcome her fear and uncover the card's meaning before the killer strikes again?

In 1994, BRAC, the world's largest NGO, made headlines by putting women's rights centre stage in Bangladesh, one of the poorest countries in the world. The Gender Quality Action Learning (GQAL) Programme was one of the very first large-scale efforts to mainstream gender equality and aimed to weave objectives of gender equality throughout its own microfinance, education and health services. Advancing Gender Equality in Bangladesh describes the history, implementation, and outcome of this major 20-year initiative and discusses the lessons learnt throughout the fight to achieve gender equality outcomes in an effort to provide a tangible framework for future organizations interested in promoting gender equality and social inclusion. At a time when many gender equality programmes are still relatively young, this book offers a unique opportunity to track 20 years of intervention within a theoretical and cultural context and provides a platform for ongoing discussion about the roles of empowerment and gender transformation as agents for social change. This book provides an in-depth analysis of how strategies for change have operated in practice and will be of considerable interest to students, researchers and practitioners of international development, gender studies and social justice theory as well as those interested in a new practical methodology of the gender role framework.

Book DescriptionBoth the scientist and the layman tend to assume a distinction between the visual and the cognitive, but for the dyslexic the cognitive is visual. He learns from what he sees because he registers knowledge visually. But to benefit from both or apply the one to the other he must cease to see them as opposing forces; they are balance scales, each with benefits. Only then will he find harmony instead of torment. Carol Miller, journalist, artist, scholar and traveler (Ancestral, The World Over, The Bookcase, The Winged Prophet from Hermes to Quetzalcoatl, Other Stories), has given us her books on comparative religion and mythology, on Syria and the Ancient Near East, on Africa and the origins of humans, with their foibles, their fanaticism, their gentle devotion, their bellicose imperative. The journey now leads within, to the mysterious wiring in the right hemisphere of the brain, its perceptions, imagination, intuition and creativity, along with its painful vulnerability, and its persecution through history. Here we explore the nature of dyslexia, not as a curse but as a gift, of limitless potential. Dyslexia, left-handedness, invincible.

First Published in 1999. This book takes examples from the work of practising teachers and speech and language therapists who have reflected on the appropriateness and success of their teaching with learners who have speech and language difficulties. The chapters focus on central issues concerning the relationship between language, learning and the curriculum. The practitioners chart their cycle of planning, teaching, evaluating, planning and teaching again. They discuss their perceptions and reflections on the effectiveness of their teaching and the children's learning.

BOOK DESCRIPTIONCarol Miller has lived a story book life. From her travels across the real world, captured in reportage and chronicle, to her sojourn through the world of film as a critic and reviewer, from her uproarious childhood in Los Angeles to her years in Mexico as a sculptress, writer and translator, she has extracted the very substance of life, every moment, every page and paragraph, including a long-term battle with clinical depression. How did she survive it? She presents us here with another anthology to complement her previous The World Over (2015) and The Bookcase (2016), diverse texts, always surprising, ever entertaining.
