When Ted falls out of bed, three mice whisk him off on a breathtaking adventure. They zoom around in fast cars, go on a balloon ride, and climb a building-block mountain. It's all very exciting, but will Ted ever get back to his bed? This book's counting theme is woven perfectly into a magical, rhythmic text by The Gruffalo author Julia Donaldson.

Marilyn Monroe's status as one of the most recognisable icons of the twentieth century lives on, most recently in the Oscar-nominated film My Week with Marilyn. but the real Marilyn in many ways has remained a mystery. Her life has been pondered by everyone from film scholars and historians to novelists and pop culture experts ever since her death in August of 1962. With astute research and crisp writing, Adam Victor sifts through the competing versions of events throughout Marilyn's life and traces a young woman's path to iconhood. The Marilyn Encyclopedia, the product of many years of research, brings order, clarity and comprehensiveness to the massive amount of material written about Marilyn Monroe. The Marilyn Encyclopedia also offers hundreds of photographs taken by some of the world's top photographers. Some of the images catch Marilyn in rare, unposed moments, in addition to the famous images the world has come to love. Complete with cross-referencing, a full bibliography and an extensive index of names, The Marilyn Encyclopedia surpasses everything that has come before it. A true testament to the legend that is Marilyn Monroe.

This story is not a story at all. It all happened. On New Year's Day Becky Morley begins to write her diary. By March, her world has changed for ever. Foot-and-mouth disease breaks out on a pig farm hundreds of miles from the Morleys' Devon home, but soon the nightmare is a few fields away. Local sheep are infected and every animal is destroyed. Will the Morleys' flock be next? Will their pedigree dairy herd, the sows with their piglets, and Little Josh, Becky's hand-reared lamb, survive? Or will they be slaughtered too? The waiting and hoping is the most agonizing experience of Becky's life...

It has international appeal, combining challenging content, intelligent topics and cross-cultural awareness. It features none of the celebrity-driven lifestyle content often found in typical general English courses for adults. The Global approach is fully aware of the needs of today's learner's, and places an emphasis on effective communication in English between both native and non-native speakers.

Hot Spot 5 is primarily a revision course with a strong focus on skills and vocabulary development. The grammar syllabus is predominantly a revision of levels 1-4 but some new (minor) grammar areas will provide opportunities for further vocabulary expansion. Level 5 is aimed at 15-year-olds and will have a much older feel than the previous levels of Hot Spot. Topics will be suited to the 15-year-old and will expand their knowledge of the world. There will be a lot less illustrated artwork and many more photos to appeal to that age range. Hot Spot 5 will also have the following additional features: word power sections comprising word building exercises (eg make and do, verbs with prepositions, collocations with on/get, verb/noun/adjective prefixes and suffixes, etc); an increase in the amount of skills work in all lessons; extra reading sections that will replace the Extra Specials (projects remain in these sections) and will include a variety of genres including stories, non-fiction, poems and plays — these texts will also be recorded; and, exam practice sections in the style of PET as well as some national state exams. Instead of packaging the CD-Rom with the Student's Book we will be providing an MPO with further exam practice. Please note that the Teacher's Book will not be interleaved with SB pages for level 5 but will still include a Test CD at the back of the book and a photocopiable resources section. In addition to the photocopiables, the Teacher's Book will also contain extra 'grammar lessons' for those classes ready to be introduced to more advanced grammar areas such as present perfect continuous, third conditional.

There is a significant market for a secondary course for students preparing for their school leaving exams. Macmillan does not currently publish specifically for this sector — currently adult courses and FCE courses fill the gap. Gateway is written specifically for upper/secondary students entering their final years of school. An academically rich, text based course, it includes lengthy authentic/semi-authentic texts connected to the school leaving topics and addressing the concerns of the age group. Students will be following an academic path and the progression of the course needs to reflect this. Developing Speaking and Developing Writing pages develop skills needed for success both in exams and for life-long learning through properly staged activities with additional models available online and in the teacher's book. The current trends/interest within ELT teaching in cross-curricular teaching, content-based learning and international culture will be reflected by the CLICK sections — Cross-curricular, Literature & International Cultural Knowledge — at the heart of every unit which examine the theme of the unit in a Cross-curricular, Literary and/ or Cultural light using integrated skills. Whilst not a Cambridge exams course Gateway helps students prepare and practice for their school leaving exams and equips them with life long learning and study skills.
