Women Suffragists
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Helmer, Diana Star, PUBLISHER: Facts on File, Each volume in the American Profiles series provides middle and high school students with concise information on eight to thirteen important and influential figures in a particular field of endeavor. Profiles are organized around a movement, event, or profession that has had a significant, lasting impact on American history and contemporary life. Essential biographical information is included for each figure, but the heart of each profile describes the critical achievements and contributions of the individual under consideration and assesses the subject's significance, not only in the context of the person's own lifetime, but in the broader sweep of American history. Placing each figure's achievements and contributions in a historical context makes each profile the ideal source for preparing reports. Students can use this framework as a basis for comparisons and contrasts, which will give them a better understanding of how individuals shape, and are shaped by, the times in which they live. Profiles: Sojourner Truth; Elizabeth Cady Stanton; Lucy Stone; Amelia Jenks Bloomer; Susan B. Anthony; Victoria Woodhull; Carrie Chapman Catt; Mary Church Terrell; Jeannette Pickering Rankin; and Alice Paul.
The Sisters Eight Book 9: The Final Battle... for Now
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Baratz-Logsted, Lauren, PUBLISHER: Houghton Mifflin Harcourt (HMH), It's the final book Each of the Eights has received her power and gift and they even know where Daddy is--inside a snowglobe-shaped Christmas tree ornament. Now all they have to do is get inside the ornament and rescue Daddy. Hopefully, Mommy's in there with him. For heaven's sake, how are they supposed to shrink all of them (plus the cats) down to a size small enough to fit in the globe and then actually get inside it? Of course, through magic or just shear will power--who really knows which--the girls have done quite a few things that, to be honest, they really shouldn't have been able to do. But this seems like asking too much even for these intelligent and talented girls. But the Eights are also a very determined group. Now that they know where Daddy is, they will--and they do--find a way to him. But they never would have guessed what else awaits them inside the snowglobe.
Slobodan Milosevic-CL
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sell, Louis / Louis Sell / Sell, PUBLISHER: Duke University Press, In "Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia" former U.S. foreign service officer Louis Sell fills a gap in the literature on the Yugoslav conflicts by covering both the domestic Yugoslav side of the collapse and the history and consequences of international interventions in the wars in Slovenia and Croatia in , Bosnia in , and Kosovo from . Sell focuses on the life and career of Milosevic, from the perspective of both a diplomatic insider intimately familiar with the region and a scholar who has researched all the available English and Serbo-Croatian sources. Sell spent much of his diplomatic career in Eastern Europe and Russia, including eight years in Yugoslavia between and , and witnessed the events that contributed to the dissolution and ultimate destruction of Yugoslavia. In "Slobodan Milosevic and the Destruction of Yugoslavia "he provides first-hand observations of Milosevic from the heady days of his rise to power and, later, in the endgame of the Bosnian war, including the Dayton Peace Conference. Drawing on a wide range of published material as well as interviews with Yugoslav and foreign participants, Sell covers such areas as Milosevic's relationship to the military, his responsibility for war crimes, his methods of persuasion and negotiation, and his notoriously explosive personality.

The Mad Trapper of Rat River
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: North, Dick, PUBLISHER: MacMillan of Canada, They called it The Arctic Circle War. It was a manhunt the likes of which we will never see again. The quarry, Albert Johnson, was a loner working a string of traps in the far reaches of Canada's Northwest Territories, where winter temperatures average forty degrees below zero. The chase began when a Mountie came to ask Johnson about allegations that he had interfered with a neighbor's trap. No questions were asked. Johnson shot Officer Millen dead through a hole in the wall of his log cabin. A vicious firefight ensued. When the Mounties returned with reinforcements, Johnson was gone, and The Arctic Circle War had begun. It was a forty-eight-day odyssey across the harshest terrain in the world. On Johnson's heels were a corps of Mounties and an irregular posse on dogsled, supplied by airplanes dropping food. Johnson, on snowshoes, seemed superhuman in his ability to evade capture. The chase stretched for hundreds of miles, and during a blizzard crossed the Richardson Mountains, the northernmost extension of the Rockies. It culminated in the historic shootout at Eagle River. There will never be another chase like it.
Shaken
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Ferrier, Sade', PUBLISHER: Xulon Press, Shaken I know, I know, you're disappointed; the goody two-shoes Christian girl got pregnant. If it's any consolation, I think I received my punishment. Raheem Rodriguez, my amazing boyfriend, disappeared. It was almost like a magic trick, except I didn't clap at the end. I got used to the whole "single parenthood" deal pretty quickly, I suppose. Four years after Raheem's infamous vanishing act, I was doing just fine. Everything was looking up - that is, until he came back. Who would've known that his return would set off a series of - for lack of a better word - interesting events? All I know is that things went from better to worse in a flash, and I wasn't prepared at all. Sade' Ferrier fell in love with the Arts at a very young age, writing her first short story when she was only eight years old. She draws inspiration from both her faith and the many controversial issues she observes in society. Singing, dancing, and acting also hold regal thrones in her heart, fueled only by her love for God.

The Martini Diet: The Self-Indulgent Way to a Thinner, More
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sander, Jennifer / Neft, Martin G., PUBLISHER: Fair Winds Press (MA), There's a yet another new Harvard study out that shows that regular moderate drinking can lower your risk of heart attack. This study, which followed men for twelve years, found out that those who drank one or two alcoholic drinks 5 to 7 days a week lowered their risk of heart attack 30 percent. (Women also benefit but they must weigh those benefits against the risk of breast cancer. Still, far more women die of heart disease than breast cancer.) Similar studies show that caffeine is good for you, as is red meat and salmon and red wine and anything dipped in olive oil. The truth is, good food and drink is good for you. So why deprive yourself? Think of the most self-indulgent people you know the ones who never miss their morning lattes and their evening martinis, dine at the best restaurants, hire personal trainers, indulge in weekly massages and facials. Odds are they're as thin as they are spoiled. This book will uncover the reasons why some of the most indulgent people are also the healthiest (like the French Paradox, which explored why French people can eat so much rich food and drink so much wine and still be thin and have low rates of heart disease). So spoil yourself thin with The Martini Diet. Inside you'll find all the ways in which you can indulge yourself and get into shape at the same time. Not only will you live longer, you'll have a heck of a lot more fun.

No More Tears...: Struggles for Land in Mpumalanga, South
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levin, Richard / Weiner, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Africa World Press, Three years after South Africa's first nonracial democratic elections, the difficult process of social and economic transformation continues. About one-half of South Africa's 41 million people -- and two-thirds of the African population -- still live in deep poverty. Eight million live in shacks. Land hunger is widespread. Land dispossession caused by colonialism's and apartheid's forced removals and alienation of land and water rights lie at the heart of the repressive regime which the national liberation movement struggled against. In South Africa, land and agrarian reform policy is presently being developed as a top-down exercise increasingly informed by a neo-liberal macroeconomic policy orientation. In the book, this elite driven transition is contrasted with a proposed popular program of radical transformation. The specific role of the World Bank is criticized, and the results of a uniquely participatory research and policy development project recently undertaken in the Eastern Transvaal are presented. The book demonstrates why incorporating extensive knowledge that exists in poor rural areas into development of land and reform policies is essential for truly democratic social and economic transformation. This is an important book that will be useful for policy-makers, academics and the general public alike.
Wish I Could Be There: Notes from a Phobic Life
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Shawn, Allen, PUBLISHER: Viking Books, A droll, inquisitive, and poignant memoir of agoraphobia from a member of one of New Yorkas premier literary families Allen Shawn is afraid of heights, water, fields, parking lots, tunnels, and unknown roads. He avoids taking subways, using elevators, or crossing bridges. In short, he is afraid of both closed and open spaces and of any form of isolation. Yet this is a memoir of enormous bravery. Shawn grew up in a lively but mysterious world. He is the son of the famous, longtime "New Yorker" editor William Shawn and brother to the brilliant playwright and actor Wallace Shawn. His twin sister is autistic, and when they were eight years old, she was put in a home. Though it was kept from him until he was in his thirties, his father led a double life that introduced strict taboos to his household. Shawn examines these influences, his fatheras and motheras phobias, and his own struggle with agoraphobia with generosity, wit, and insight, attempting to decipher the psychological and biological puzzles that have plagued him for so long. Interwoven with both Freudian psychology and cutting-edge brain research, Shawn has written a profound examination of familial love and the universal struggle to face our demons.

The Awakening
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chopin, Kate / Robinson, Marilyn, PUBLISHER: Bantam Classics, First published in , this beautiful, brief novel so disturbed critics and the public that it was banished for decades afterward. Now widely read and admired, "The Awakening" has been hailed as an early vision of woman's emancipation. This sensuous book tells of a woman's abandonment of her family, her seduction, and her awakening to desires and passions that threated to consumer her. Originally entitled "A Solitary Soul," this portrait of twenty-eight-year-old Edna Pontellier is a landmark in American fiction, rooted firmly in the romantic tradition of Herman Melville and Emily Dickinson. Here, a woman in search of self-discovery turns away from convention and society, and toward the primal, from convention and society, and toward the primal, irresistibly attracted to nature and the senses"The Awakening," Kate Chopin's last novel, has been praised by Edmund Wilson as "beautifully written." And Willa Cather described its style as "exquisite," "sensitive," and "iridescent." This edition of "The Awakening" also includes a selection of short stories by Kate Chopin. "This seems to me a higher order of feminism than repeating the story of woman as victim... Kate Chopin gives her female protagonist the central role, normally reserved for Man, in a meditation on identity and culture, consciousness and art." -- From the introduction by Marilynne Robinson.
Forty Acres and Maybe a Mule
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Robinet, Harriette Gillem / Nickens, Bess, PUBLISHER: Atheneum Books, Could it be true? Pascal's runaway brother was back saying they were free The slaves had been freed by President Lincoln And besides, Gideon said, they could have forty acres of land and maybe a mule just for the asking. Gideon said land meant freedom. That night Pascal, twelve, and his friend Nelly, eight, ran away with Gideon. They were going to get a farm. They had to hide lest they be taken back into slavery. Also, land didn't seem as easy to find as Gideon had thought. What did it mean if you had to run and hide, if you were crippled and couldn't do what others did? Joined by other former slaves, Pascal, Gideon, and Nelly did find a farm. They even found a school that Pascal and Nelly could attend. They learned about dignity and the Freedmen's Bureau and the Union League and the Republicans. But they also discovered it was not easy for former slaves to stay free and to keep their land. Based on the author's research about events in the South in , this is the story of what might have happened to one small group of African Americans.
Stop Being Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself: The
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Barsky, Arthur J. / Deans, Emily C. / Stoll, Walt, PUBLISHER: HarperCollins Publishers, Do you suffer from ongoing pain or other chronic medical symptoms such as fatigue, lower back pain, arthritis, acid indigestion, insomnia, or migraines? Do they interfere with your family time or your work? Have you been forced to give up activities that you enjoy? Do you feel as though your symptoms are taking over your life? Thirty percent of the population suffer from chronic debilitating illnesses and pain that respond only partially to conventional medicine. But this doesn't mean that there is no relief in sight. Dr. Arthur Barsky, psychiatrist and pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine, has found that changing the way you think about your illness can have a remarkable effect on how you experience your symptoms. Two people with the same symptoms can live dramatically different lives because they think about and react to their symptoms differently. At Harvard Medical School, Dr. Barsky developed "Stop Being Your Symptoms and Start Being Yourself," a breakthrough six-week program designed to overcome the symptoms of chronic illnesses of every kind. Based on more than twenty years of firsthand clinical experience, his scientifically tested treatment plan is unique, powerful, and simple to learn. This groundbreaking program teaches patients to master the five psychological factors that make chronic symptoms persist through hundreds of exercises, worksheets, and patient examples. You may not be able to completely eliminate your medical symptoms. But it is possible to control your symptoms rather than letting them control you-- to manage your pain, fatigue, insomnia, and anxiety.

Un nuovo motore pitch-to-MIDI permette l'estrazione di dati MIDI da parti armoniche, ritmiche e di batteria. Live 9 offre numerosi modi per manipolare la musica - la tradizionale registrazione "multitraccia" e un metodo di riproduzione più "on-the-fly" in cui le clip sono attivate, temporizzate automaticamente e mandate in loop. Questo metodo di clip-triggering è ottimo per performance live e per le produzioni in studio. Esistono una serie di controller hardware progettati per controllare Ableton Live 9 in questo modo, tra cui Ableton Push, AKAI APC e Novation Launchpad che rendono Ableton Live un ottimo ambiente di produzione musicale tattile. E' inclusa una gamma completa di suoni, effetti e strumenti virtuali ulteriormente ampliabile con plugin e suoni di terze parti, ognuno dei quali può essere manipolato via MIDI o da input di tastiera con mappatura dei controller istantanea tramite la modalità "Learn".
