    Series Statement: Languages for intercultural communication and education 4
    Content: "This study raises and answers a number of questions of interest not only to linguists but also to many educators, sociologists and business people. What values are most salient in these mixed cultural groups? Which values appear to be most enduring and which cause clashes between groups? To what extent do participants retain the communication style identified with their first language when speaking English and how do these different styles impact on the communication? What are the causes of success and failure in the interactions? What problems arose in this relatively favourable situational context? Finally, how can training develop both intercultural and lingua-cultural (in this case English) communication competencies? To answer this last question, interactions which took place before, during and after training are compared in order to demonstrate how some of these competencies can be developed and an outline of the methods and materials used in this training is provided."--BOOK JACKET.

    Content: " A deliciously dark, unapologetically funny psychological thriller by the international bestselling author of  The Cry 'It takes a special kind of evil genius to write crime this dark and make it this funny. I feel like ONLY Helen FitzGerald could have created this book. Shocking, gripping and laugh-out-loud hilarious from the first line to the last. Brilliant'  Erin Kelly 'The main character is one of the most extraordinary you'll meet between the pages of a book' Ian Rankin 'Outrageous, extremely funny and ultimately devastating'  Ambrose Parry Mary Shields is a moody, acerbic probation offer, dealing with some of Glasgow's worst cases, and her job is on the line. Liam Macdowall was imprisoned for murdering his wife, and he's published a series of letters to the dead woman, in a book that makes him an unlikely hero – and a poster boy for Men's Rights activists. Liam is released on licence into Mary's care, but things are far from simple. Mary develops a poisonous obsession with Liam and his world, and when her son and Liam's daughter form a relationship, Mary will stop at nothing to impose her own brand of justice ... with devastating consequences. A heart-pounding, relentless and chilling psychological thriller, rich with deliciously dark and unapologetic humour,  Worst Case Scenario  is also a perceptive, tragic and hugely relevant book by one of the most exciting names in crime fiction. 'I've been a fan of Helen FitzGerald's for a long time now. She never, ever disappoints.  WORST CASE SCENARIO  is simply stunning. Dark, uncompromising, funny, and almost impossible to put down'  Luca Veste 'Dark humour and darker truths permeate a thrilling crime novel that is fabulously transgressive and completely unique. The best-case scenario would be her next novel in my hands right now, because nobody writes like Helen Fitzgerald' Mark Billingham 'Very dark, very funny and very original. Helen Fitzgerald is one of a kind, and a welcome breath of fresh air in the world of off-beat but achingly relatable crime fiction'  SJI Holliday 'I'm convinced that Helen FitzGerald is some kind of genius. It's dark, unsettling, shocking and brilliantly funny – often at the same time. It also confirms her as queen of the killer opening line. Loved it'  Paul Burston 'Loved it! Helen recalls in me my deep early-20s love affair with Carl Hiassen ... Gloriously dark, deliciously salacious and laugh out loud funny. I lapped this up and didn't want it to end. Fabulous'  Amanda Jennings 'This book took me on such a journey and a range of emotions!! Laughing, cringing and hesitant all at the same time. Also very grateful I never became a social worker. Totally gripping and so well written' Madeleine Black 'A dark, comic masterpiece which manages to be both excruciatingly tense and laugh out loud funny at the same time. Great stuff!'  Mark Edwards 'Twisted &,utterly contemporary, this is pure, unfiltered noir. From that killer opening line to the dark irony of its final scene. You need to read this'  Russel McLean ' Worst Case Scenario  is a crazy, full-throttle ride, terrifying, hilarious and heartbreaking in equal measure, with the most vivid and brilliant central character I've read in years'  Doug Johnstone 'A seriously fabulous, gritty, and whip-cracking humour filled read ... this is short, sharp storytelling at its very best'  Liz Robinson, LoveReading 'This book really was an emotional rollercoaster'  Macs Book Reviews "

    Content: "As elegant and witty as it is disturbing.' - The Daily Telegraph 'Accomplished and gloriously black comedy' - Allan Guthrie 'Lovely, sparse, elegant writing, highly original plot and ever- building tension make this book irresistible. There's sex and drugs and rock-and-roll, a whiff of true evil and a scream-out loud finale. Wow!' - Australian Women's Weekly 'Scary and stylish slice of urban noir' - Boyd Tonkin, Independent 'Colourful characters, dramatic plot twists and vibrant vernacular ... a great read' The Bookseller 'Brilliant, shocking and unputdownable' - Sydney Morning Herald Bronny, a young Australian, finds herself down and out in London. She's a sweet girl who has spent her teenage years in a fearful, cautious bubble. She's never taken drugs, had sex or killed anyone. Within six weeks she's done all three. A group of backpackers break into an abandoned London townhouse seeking a rent-free life of debauchery. They don't realise someone's already there: a terrified woman bound and gagged in the basement. The Devil's Staircase combines a chick-lit voice and a dark crime noir environment. Not for the faint-hearted, The Devil's Staircase is funny, sexy and disturbing - it will keep you on the edge of your seat from start to finish."

    Content: Nach dem dramatischen Tod ihrer besten Freundin musste Krissie Donald erst einmal zur Ruhe kommen. Jetzt ist sie fest entschlossen, ihr Leben in den Griff zu kriegen: ein glückliches Familienleben mit Chas, ihrer großen Liebe, und mit ihrem kleinen Sohn Robbie, dazu eine neue Wohnung und ein neuer Job. In einer romantischen Anwandlung kauft Krissie sich sogar probehalber ein Brautkleid. Aber der neue Job bringt alles durcheinander. Als Sozialarbeiterin im Sandhill-Gefängnis soll Krissie anhand weniger Gespräche entscheiden, wer auf Bewährung freikommt und wer nicht. Einer ihrer ersten Klienten ist Jeremy Bagshaw: gutaussehend und sympathisch, von grausamen Mitgefangenen schikaniert, mit einer grauenvollen Kindheit, und vielleicht sogar unschuldig. Jeremy soll eine Frau brutal erstochen haben, aber Krissie kommen Zweifel. Sie lernt Amanda kennen, Jeremys Verlobte, und freundet sich mit ihr an. Es dauert nur ein paar Wochen, bis Krissie knietief in einer verzwickten Beziehungsgeschichte steckt und auf eigene Faust versucht, Jeremys Unschuld zu beweisen. Mit fatalen Folgen. Sie verstrickt sich in ein Netz aus Fehltritten, Lügen und Manipulation, das sie und die, die sie liebt, in Lebensgefahr bringt.
