More Than 100 Signs That Prove... Nobody's "Purrfect"!
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Silicato, Carolyn Stevenson, PUBLISHER: Trafford Publishing, People have no excuse to write using incorrect grammar-especially if their writing will be seen by the public. A little proofreading goes a long way. For Carolyn Stevenson Silicato, a retired elementary school teacher, this carelessness has always been a pet peeve. In fact, it became part of a tradition in the district where she taught: anyone spotting a misspelling in a public place would be sure to tell her about it. Those collected missteps form the genesis for "More than 100 Signs That Prove Nobody's Purrfect." She began taking pictures of misspellings that she saw along the roadways. After she retired from teaching, she carried her camera with her all of time and quickly gathered over one hundred pictures of highway misspellings. She divides them into the types of grammatical mistakes that people frequently make, from "Which Vowel Was That?" to "Wrong Words"-thus inviting readers and students to detect the errors in each of the one hundred signs. Enjoy this completely interactive, learning experience, and remember that nobody's perfect

Here, whooping cough threatens George's life, yet the disease will be the key to his future. Unable to work in the fields, he spends his days studying plants.

Sorcery and Sovereignty: Taxation, Power, and Rebellion in
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Redding, Sean, PUBLISHER: Ohio University Press, Rebellions broke out in many areas of South Africa shortly after the institution of white rule in the late nineteenth century and continued into the next century. However, distrust of the colonial regime reached a new peak in the mid-twentieth century, when revolts erupted across a wide area of rural South Africa. All these uprisings were rooted in grievances over taxes. Rebels frequently invoked supernatural powers for assistance and accused government officials of using witchcraft to enrich themselves and to harm ordinary people. As Sean Redding observes in Sorcery and Sovereignty, beliefs in witchcraft and supernatural powers were part of the political rhetoric; the system of taxation--with all its prescribed interactions between ruler and ruled--was intimately connected to these supernatural beliefs. In this fascinating study, Redding examines how black South Africans' beliefs in supernatural powers, along with both economic and social change in the rural areas, resulted in specific rebellions and how gender relations in black South African rural families changed. Sorcery and Sovereignty explores the intersection of taxation, political attitudes, and supernatural beliefs among black South Africans, shedding light on some of the most significant issues in the history of colonized Africa.

Perversions of Justice: Indigenous Peoples and Angloamerican
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Churchill, Ward / Chichetto, James William / Venne, Sharon Helen, PUBLISHER: City Lights Books, The United States is readily distinguishable from other countries, Chief Justice John Marshall opined in , because it is "a nation of laws, not of men." In "Perversions of Justice," Ward Churchill takes Marshall at his word, exploring through a series of 11 carefully crafted essays how the U.S. has consistently employed a corrupt from of legalism as a means of establishing colonial control and empire. Along the way, he demonstrates how this "nation of laws" has so completely subverted the law of nations that the current America-dominated international order ends up, like the U.S. -itself, functioning in a manner dia-metrically opposed to the ideals of freedom and democracy it professes to embrace. By tracing the evolution of federal Indian law, Churchill is able to show how the premises set forth therein not only spilled over onto non-Indians in the U.S., but were also adapted for application abroad. The trajectory of America's imperial logic can be followed all the way to the present New World Order in which "what we say goes" at the dawn of the third millennium.

Jihad in the Arabian Sea
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pecastaing, Camille, PUBLISHER: Hoover Institution Press, The lands and coasts across the Bab el Mandeb--the tiny strait that separates the Red Sea from the Indian Ocean--at the southern tip of the Red Sea, have for centuries had a forbidding reputation as lands of piracy and privation. In "Jihad in the Arabian Sea, " Camille Pecastaing examines the twenty-first-century challenges facing this troubled and treacherous region. He looks at the past and present of the key players in the area, including Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea, Djibouti, the Sudan, and Ethiopia, reviewing the terrorist activities of Al Qaeda, the state of lawlessness that has led to the rise of piracy in the western Indian Ocean, the rise of the radical Shabab group, and the spread of extremist forms of Islam in the south. Pecastaing displays a real feel for the land, seamlessly blending history and current headlines to paint a picture of a region that, for most of the past two thousand years, has never quite evolved into the era of the modern state. He shows how the current challenges of civil war, piracy, radical Islamism, and terrorism, along with a real risk of environmental and economic failure on both sides of the strait, could lead to still more social dislocation and violence in this strategically important area.

The Animator's Survival Kit: A Manual of Methods, Principles
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Williams, Richard, PUBLISHER: Faber & Faber, The definitive book on animation, from the Academy Award-winning animator behind "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Animation is one of the hottest areas of filmmaking today--and the master animator who bridges the old generation and the new is Richard Williams. During his fifty years in the business, Williams has been one of the true innovators, winning three Academy Awards and serving as the link between Disney's golden age of animation by hand and the new computer animation exemplified by "Toy Story." Perhaps even more important, though, has been his dedication in passing along his knowledge to a new generation of animators so that they in turn could push the medium in new directions. In this book, based on his sold-out master classes in the United States and across Europe, Williams provides the underlying principles of animation that every animator--from beginner to expert, classic animator to computer animation whiz --needs. Urging his readers to "invent but be believable," he illustrates his points with hundreds of drawings, distilling the secrets of the masters into a working system in order to create a book that will become the standard work on all forms of animation for professionals, students, and fans.

No Good Deed: A Story of Medicine, Murder Accusations, and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cohen, Lewis Mitchell, PUBLISHER: Harper Paperbacks, On a blustery night, detectives from the Massachusetts State Police knocked on Amy Gleason's door. Gleason, along with fellow nurse Kim Hoy, had helped a patient deal with pain and suffering at the end of her life. Now the patient was dead, and the two nurses were being investigated for murder. Both believed they had done the right thing, but they had no idea what it would cost them. In this captivating and powerful true story, Dr. Lewis M. Cohen uses the experiences of Gleason, Hoy, and the nursing assistant who accused them of murder to explore what happens when decisions about end-of-life care shift from the hospital to the courtroom and the church. Tracing this issue from the uproar over Terri Schiavo's feeding tube to the controversial figure of Jack Kevorkian, and to the legitimate threat of serial killer medical professionals, Cohen goes behind the scenes on both sides of this debate. He examines how advances in modern medicine have given us tremendous tools for prolonging life but have also forced us to address how we treat patients who are dying and suffering.
