Dear Primo (0810938723)

From first-time Mexican author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh comes the story of two cousins, one in America and one in Mexico, and how their daily lives are different yet similar. Charlie takes the subway to school; Carlitos rides his bike. Charlie plays in fallen leaves; Carlitos plays among the local cacti. Dear Primo covers the sights, sounds, smells, and tastes of two very different childhoods, while also emphasizing how alike Charlie and Carlitos are at heart. Spanish words are scattered among the English text, providing a wonderful way to introduce the language and culture of Mexico to young children.Inspired by the ancient art of the Mixtecs and other cultures of Mexico, Tonatiuh incorporates their stylized forms into his own artwork.F&P Level: MF&P Genre: RF Product details For ages 0-5 ...

Seeds of Stability : Land Reform and US Foreign Policy (9781316636640)

Chartist Fiction : Volume 2: Ernest Jones, Woman's Wrongs (9781138702363)

This title was first published in 2001. When the Chartist leader Ernest Jones emerged from prison in 1850, he was determined to capture the public's attention with a controversial and topical novel. The result of his endeavours was the remarkable Woman's Wrongs, a series of five tales exploring women's oppression at every level of society from the working class to the aristocracy. Each story presents a graphic, often harrowing account of the social, economic and emotional victimisation of women, and taken together the tales comprise a devastating indictment of Victorian patriarchal attitudes and sexual inequalities. But Jones also shows women's refusal to accept this subjugated role, and he creates some of Victorian literature's most subversive and unruly heroines. He draws on sensationalism, reportage, melodrama and political analysis in order to expose the wrongs done by and to women. Product details ...

Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs : The Making of a Surgeon (9780312532932)

It looked for a while like Michael Collins would spend his life breaking concrete and throwing rocks for the Vittorio Scalese Construction Company. He liked the work and he liked the pay. But a chance remark by one of his coworkers made him realize that he wanted to involve himself in something bigger, something more meaningful than crushing rocks and drinking beer. In his acclaimed first memoir, Hot Lights, Cold Steel, Collins wrote passionately about his four-year surgical residency at the prestigious Mayo Clinic. Blue Collar, Blue Scrubs turns back the clock, taking readers from his days as a construction worker to his entry into medical school, expertly infusing his journey to become a doctor with humanity, compassion and humor. From the first time he delivers a baby to being surrounded by death and pain on a daily basis, Collins compellingly writes about how medicine makes him confront, in a very deep and personal way, the nature of God and suffering—and how delicate life can be. ...

The Master Key to Success at Golf : Direct Instruction Which Will Make You Improve Your Game (9781533311788)

The Master Key to Success at Golf, first published in 1962, is a classic teaching guide for improving your golf skills. Author Leslie King began a long-term study of the golf swing when he was an aspiring young club professional. For five years he followed the greatest players of his age around the course, sometimes traveling hundreds of miles on an old motor bike to watch them play on his days off from work. Without the modern aid of video tape or video cameras to help him, he had to rely on his quick eyes and his extremely sharp analytical mind. After five years of careful research King defined what he called 'the basic model of the golf swing and it's defining principles.' His findings are documented in this book. Gary Player, who won The Open in 1974 after taking advice from King says: "Leslie King, the founding father of the Swing Factory method, was one of the greatest students of the golf swing." King's method of teaching consistently produced intern...
