The very diversity that America was founded on now seems to be turning on itself. Instead of seeing our individual differences as a source of national strength, we’re dispatching them as daggers in our American identity. America is steadily splitting along political, gender, color and cultural lines, battling it out over controversial issues like racism, immigration, terrorism, and even patriotism and American pride. What is the verdict for a country of citizens who don blinders and boxing gloves in the face of opposing points of view? What type of “American Identity” will we leave for the next generation? In Red, White, and Latina 3-time Emmy Award winner, 2-time author, entertainment personality, and proud American Latina, Cristina Pérez dissects these issues and proposes a new unified outlook for America based on common sense, common values, and common ground. She delivers a no-holds-barred and non-biased look inside the most heated conversations in America today, examining the headlines, evidence, and hearsay, before delivering her verdict for each one.
Marco Paolini: A Deep Map breaks new ground in the field of Italian political theatre by outlining the unique approach of one of Italy’s most celebrated playwrights, Marco Paolini, whose work has hitherto remained inaccessible to English-speaking audiences. The book is the first substantial study of Paolini’s corpus in English. Additionally, it offers an in-depth analysis of Paolini’s unique methods by focusing on the recovery of collective cultural memory through theatre and in-depth historical and political context. The book engages critically with art and politics in Italy specifically, but has implications and relevance on a global scale. Perissinotto’s multidisciplinary approach simultaneously draws upon memory studies, history, and poetry. She demonstrates how Paolini’s plays evoke themes similar to ancient Greek theatre, which called for the engagement of actors in political commentary from the stage, connecting them directly with the public on social and ethical issues.

Issues including: home -vs- homelessness, sexuality -vs- love, community -vs- personal sovereignty, civil and legal rights, friendship, family, girl power, gender, safety -vs- abuse...and figuring out how to make this world a better place The series was born with the first two foundational titles LIVING IN SECRET and THE SKIN OF WATER: DEFENDING THE DREAMCATCHERS as separate books containing independent characters...followed by subsequent novels which carry on from the juncture where some of these characters begin to meet up -- ESOTERICA, PARADISE FOUND, and the forthcoming potential finale LIVING IN LIGHT. Though the collection itself spans various combo, trilogy, and omnibus editions, now for the first time ever the initial two novels can be savored together under one cover as the perfect introduction for readers new to the series.

INTRODUZIONE: "Le risorse del cuore" Lungamente, per molti anni, ho provato mille volte a pensare ad una presentazione per questo libro. Mi sono chiesta se parlare anche agli altri di un dolore cos grande, potesse avere un perch . Non so esattamente se sia necessario spiegare ma credo che oltre e nonostante la personale visione di ognuno, in qualche modo, tutto ci rappresenti la mia maniera di essere vicina a chi, come noi, si trova a dover affrontare una grave perdita. Adesso che sto scrivendo, seduta sull'ultimo gradino delle scale di casa, penso a quanto sia difficile, giorno dopo giorno, gradino dopo gradino, risalire (non solo perch si deve ma anche perch si pu ), aggrappati ad ogni pi piccola briciola delle proprie forze. A Marcello perch lass , il cielo cosparso di stelle. (Ottobre 2018)
Description of the BookAaaachooo is an exaggerated tale about a little girl named Amanda, whose GREAT BIG SNEEZE causes trouble at school, at the doctor's office, and at home. At the end of the story, with the good example set by her dog Milo, Amanda learns to control her sneeze using her own initiative.The bold and outrageously funny cover, with its depictions of chaos and disarray-all due to Amanda's big sneeze-encourages children to unleash their imaginations as they illustrate the book using the blank pages and space around the text. The scenes depicted in the story also require children to figure out how to draw facial expressions and how to depict movement.The use of alliteration and onomatopoeia (e.g., "everything clanked and crashed") adds a sense of rhythm and playfulness to the vivid descriptions. Parents and teachers can use these and other literary tools in the story to encourage children to use them in their own writing.About the AuthorThe author's interest in writing for children stems from a long career of working with children, first as an elementary teacher, and later as a school psychologist. Now retired, Dr. Palmer continues to help children by writing books that entertain, reinforce basic academic skills, encourage creativity, and foster positive emotional growth.Among Dr. Palmer's published works are her illustrated children's books Ernestina the Ant; Tales from Nestorville, Book 1; A Noble Heart; and El rat n con el mech n and its English translation The Mouse with Spiky Hair.About the IllustratorSirac discovered his passion for art at a young age. Highly skilled in different mediums and styles, he distinguishes himself by his versatility and ingenuity as an artist. He began illustrating children's books in 2017 with his first book Don't Put Gum in the Fish Bowl.Incorporating techniques from his formal training in graphic design, his extensive experience creating artworks for private and commercial clients, and his early work in the comic book industry, his illustrations for this book, Aaaachooo , are sure to generate excitement among young readers and budding artists.
