A hard-hitting and honest memoir from Michael Fuller, Britain's first black Chief Constable, who reflects on his astonishing life growing up in care and his extraordinary experience of the race and cultural barriers in his career.

The second edition of An Introduction to Literary Chinese incorporates recent developments in linguistics and has been expanded to include a lesson on Buddhist texts. Ranging from basic syntax to advanced pre-modern writings, the thirty-six lessons in this textbook provide students practice in reading a variety of increasingly complex works.
From the Canon of Poetry to the Lyrics of the Song Dynasty
Focusing on classical Chinese poetry, this innovative textbook offers a fresh approach by immersing readers in the original language's texture rather than relying solely on translated anthologies. It is designed for a diverse audience, including those unfamiliar with Chinese, aiming to enhance the understanding and appreciation of the poetic form through a more authentic experience.
