Runner-up YA in the inaugural Diverse Book Awards 2020. 16-year-old Mehreen Miah's anxiety and depression, or 'Chaos', as she calls it, has taken over her life, to the point where she can't bear it any more. So she joins MementoMori, a website that matches people with partners and allocates them a date and method of death, 'the pact'. Mehreen is paired with Cara Saunders and Olivia Castleton, two strangers dealing with their own serious issues. As they secretly meet over the coming days, Mehreen develops a strong bond with Cara and Olivia, the only people who seem to understand what she's going through. But ironically, the thing that brought them together to commit suicide has also created a mutually supportive friendship that makes them realise that, with the right help, life is worth living. It's not long before all three want out of the pact. But in a terrifying twist of fate, the website won't let them stop, and an increasingly sinister game begins, with MementoMori playing the girls off against each other. A pact is a pact, after all. In this powerful debut written in three points of view, Yasmin Rahman has created a moving, poignant novel celebrating life.

Despite claims made by the "no significant difference" literature that learning in asynchronous web based (AWB) media is the same as learning in face to face environments, there is evidence to the contrary. For example, AWB learning is a more "learner controlled" environment compared to face to face learning. Moreover, recent research has suggested that two specific characteristics; self regulated learning (SRL) and epistemological beliefs (EB) are key factors that can predict achievement in learner controlled environments, such as AWB undergraduate college courses. However, few studies to date have used predictive modeling in order to explain the effect of these two sets of factors on learner achievement in AWB environments. The present study looked at their influence as well as that of covariate factors such as reason for taking an online course, self-efficacy for using computer technology, and prior academic achievement on learning achievement in AWB undergraduate courses. The result was a predictive model headed by expectancy for learning as a predictor of learning achievement in AWB environments. This book is addressed to post secondary education professionals as well as researchers who are involved in the planning, design, and administration of AWB undergraduate courses.

"It was I who removed de P- this morning." With these chilling words Victor Haldin shatters the solitary, industrious existence of Razumov, his fellow student at St Petersburg University. Razumov aims to overcome the denial of his noble birth by a brilliant career in the tsarist bureaucracy created by Peter the Great.
