Sign Language Companion: A Handbook of British Signs
British Sign Language (BSL), Britain’s fourth native language, is thriving across the length and breadth of the country, and its use is spreading far beyond the members of the deaf community for whom it is the most fluent way of communicating. Increasingly, many hearing people are learning and using BSL, either because they have deaf relatives or friends or because they simply enjoy the expressive freedom of the language. ‘Sign Language Companion’ is intended for all BSL students. It presents signs with young people in mind, grouped in topics and linking ideas and concepts that will enable them to construct their own combinations and everyday conversations. The topics covered include: Getting to know you – Family, people and other animals – Conduct and behaviour – Sharing ideas and interests – Sharing feelings and relationships – Food and drink – Colour and time and this and that. More than 400 sign illustrations, with over a thousand entries of English translations and descriptions of variations, show the enormous diversity of this living language, and each section ends with puzzles for practice and entertainment.Read more

The Fleeting Target: A night-time mission to assassinate the enemy… (Spitfire Mavericks Thrillers Book 3)
Another terrifying fight in the skies for the Maverick Squadron! For fans of Derek Robinson, James Holland, Frank Barnard and Jack Higgins.Who is leaking secrets to the enemy…?
1941
Flying Officer Angus Mackennelly is flying over Northern France when his tank is holed and he’s forced to crash-land.
Luckily, he is picked up by the French Resistance before the enemy can get to him and, after a tense few days moving between safe houses, he escapes back to Blighty.
Reunited with his squadron, Angus expects to return to flying duties. However, Squadron Leader Bentley informs him that he’s not going to be flying sorties. He is singled out to lead a top-secret mission.
The special mission is to conduct a low flying night operation with six blacked out Spitfires to strafe a convoy carrying a top general from the German High Command and assassinate him.
Training quickly commences but a spate of unexpected enemy fighter attacks leads the team to suspect that a spy is trying to leak details of the upcoming mission to the Germans.
Angus is put on the case to squirrel out the informer and protect the rest of the men from the enemy within.
Will Angus succeed in his secret mission? Can he identify the mole?
Or will the lives of all the men in Maverick Squadron be compromised…?
THE FLEETING TARGET is the third book in the Spitfire Mavericks Thrillers series: action-packed aviation adventures set during the second world war and featuring a team of vigilante pilots.
