The award-winning creator of Eberron presents the final installment of a series that combines the mystery of James Bond with the magic of J.R.R. Tolkien The prince of Cyre has been a monarch in name only ever since his country was destroyed by the Mourning, a mysterious cataclysmic event that obliterated the nation. Now, it is Thorn—no stranger to tragedy and loss himself—who must protect the prince from those who still wish him harm. In the same cataclysm that devastated Cyre, seven cities of the Feywild—the feyspires—were trapped on the plain of Eberron. The eladrin who rule the feyspires insist this concurrence is no coincidence and that, with the right pieces, they can repair the devastation of the Mourning. All that''s needed are two missing pieces—one that lies in the heart of a mysterious Cyran soldier and one that’s lodged in Thorn’s spine, carrying the soul of the Angel of Flame.

Massachusetts is one of only nine states in the country to require bilingual education in all school districts where there is a sufficient number of limited-English-proficient (LEP) students. Moreover, Massachusetts has set the lowest threshold for mandatory bilingual education in the country. Observations of actual classroom practice demonstrates that these students are not all receiving the same style of education. Generally, only Spanish-speaking students are taught to read & write in their native language, while also receiving some native language instruction in other academic subjects, as existing law requires. Students from virtually all other groups, though enrolled in "bilingual education," receive instruction almost exclusively in English, with at most a few hours per week of enrichment in their native languages & cultures. Twenty-five years after passage of the bilingual education law in Massachusetts, there is still no proof that the mandated approach to teaching works better than other approaches, such as intensive English instruction. Not only is there no proof from Massachusetts, but there is none from the many studies that have been conducted in other states. If one can draw any conclusion, it is that teaching a LEP student in their native language is at least marginally detrimental to their acquisition of English.

The long-overlooked story of a number of adventurous Britons who left their homeland before World War I to inspire and shape the growth of modern soccer in continental Europe and South America. Drawn from widely different backgrounds, their motivations and contributions were diverse-helping to form legendary clubs now supported by millions across the globe; bringing revolutionary changes to the way soccer was taught and played; and laying the foundations on which the game would continue to flourish. Full of entertaining accounts and anecdotes from the birth of the global game, Fathers of Football places the lives of these innovators soundly in historical and social context. They all left a deep and lasting impression on soccer in the countries they worked in; yet for too long Britain turned its back on their lessons and achievements.
