Author Michael De Feo is a teacher and artist who achieved a certain amount of fame when his work was featured in The Art of Rebellion, the world's best-selling international survey of street art. But it was in his role as educator that De Feo came to the conclusion that the market was lacking in good art books for children and that's what inspired him to crate one himself. Alphabet City encourages both children and parents to pay attention to their everyday surroundings by placing De Feo's joyful images in the context of art in the streets. Witty and whimsical it is bound as a children's board and features high quality photographic reproductions throughout.
At the conclusion of World War II, Americans anxiously contemplated the return to peace. It was an uncertain time, rife with concerns about demobilization, inflation, strikes, and the return of a second Great Depression. Balanced against these challenges was the hope in a future of unparalleled opportunities for a generation raised in hard times and war. One of the remarkable untold stories of postwar America is the successful assimilation of sixteen million veterans back into civilian society after 1945. The G.I. generation returned home filled with the same sense of fear and hope that most citizens felt at the time. Their transition from conflict to normalcy is one of the greatest chapters in American history. ""The Greatest Generation Comes Home"" combines military and social history into a comprehensive narrative of the veteran's experience after World War II. It integrates early impressions of home in 1945 with later stories of medical recovery, education, work, politics, and entertainment, as well as moving accounts of the dislocation, alienation, and discomfort many faced. This book includes the experiences of not only the millions of veterans drawn from mainstream white America but also the women, African Americans, Latinos, and Asian Americans who served the nation. Perhaps most important, this book also examines the legacy bequeathed by these veterans to later generations who served in uniform on new battlefields around the world.

Island of the World is the story of a child born in 1933 into the turbulent world of the Balkans and tracing his life into the third millennium. The central character is Josip Lasta, the son of an impoverished school teacher in a remote village high in the mountains of the Bosnian interior. As the novel begins, World War II is underway and the entire region of Yugoslavia is torn by conflicting factions: German and Italian occupying armies, and the rebel forces that resist them--the fascist Ustashe, Serb nationalist Chetniks, and Communist Partisans. As events gather momentum, hell breaks loose, and the young and the innocent are caught in the path of great evils. Their only remaining strength is their religious faith and their families. For more than a century, the confused and highly inflammatory history of former Yugoslavia has been the subject of numerous books, many of them rife with revisionist history and propaganda. The peoples of the Balkans live on the border of three worlds: the Islamic, the orthodox Slavic East, and Catholic Europe, and as such they stand in the path of major world conflicts that are not only geo-political but fundamentally spiritual. This novel cuts to the core question: how does a person retain his identity, indeed his humanity, in absolutely dehumanizing situations? In the life of the central character, the author demonstrates that this will demand suffering and sacrifice, heroism and even holiness. When he is twelve years old, his entire world is destroyed, and so begins a lifelong Odyssey to find again the faith which the blows of evil have shattered. The plot takes the reader through Josip's youth, his young manhood, life under the Communist regime, hope and loss and unexpected blessings, the growth of his creative powers as a poet, and the ultimate test of his life. Ultimately this novel is about the crucifixion of a soul--and resurrection.

Michael D. LeBow, PhD.is a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology. One of his specialties is helping overweight and extremely overweight people. But of course, long before he learned how to do that, he had to finish high school. Harsh years for him. Harsh, because in high school he was extremely heavy, and this very visible fact unleashed a horde of weight bullies. They were often slim or muscular teenagers who acted as if they had license to regularly belittle, torment, and tease. Weight bullies enjoyed hurting. Like them, but not intent on damaging, were the weight blamers. They could be teenagers but usually were adults-family members, teachers and doctors. Blamers freely advised Michael to stop being so weak and to stop being such a glutton in order to stop being so fat. Some even promoted their favorite "obesity cures," pseudo-remedies that varied from worthless to harmful.Over the years, Dr. LeBow has tried to uncover answers to the weight puzzle confronting teenagers. He has written this book for you, a teenager who needs, not criticism, but practical information: -what "too heavy" really means and how it is measured -why some teenagers become too heavy and some do not-where online is the best advice on eating smarter and moving more -what drives weight bullying and what to do about weight bullies-how to uncover personally troublesome places involving eating-eating hotspots -how to train the brain to be satisfied with smaller portions and fewer helpings -how to become active for at least 60 min a day, and earn money for doing so-why it's important to talk to a doctor before trying to manage weight-how to accept responsibility for managing weight-how to be upbeat about who you are-how to lose overweight without losing any weight-how to avoid the 10 snakes of weight mismanagement-and much much more...

This full-color book provides a compendium of stimulating facts about the states, presented graphically, and covering a wide array of topics including demographic, economic, environmental, health, and crime variables. Hundreds of attributes are compared side-by-side, from life expectancy to murder rates; from fourth-grade math proficiency scores to the number of food stamp recipients, and from illicit drug use to the rate of firearm background checks per state. Through meticulous organization and use of graphic formats, retrieval of specific information the reader may seek has been greatly facilitated. In addition to the graphs comparing the fifty states for each individual metric, a summary table is provided at the beginning of each chapter along with highlights of pertinent data found in the chapter. While we are one, indivisible nation, at the same time Americans are as diverse from state-to-state as many nations are when compared with other nations. For example: in 2010, 95 percent of Vermont residents were white compared with only 24 percent of residents in Hawaii and 1-in-12 New York residents were Jewish compared with less than 1-in-1,000 Arkansas residents. In Texas, 464 prisoners have been executed over the past 35 years while 16 states have not executed any. More interesting facts found in ranking America's Fifty States include: ·Alaska ranked highest or lowest in 31 metrics—more than any other state—followed by Mississippi at 25 and Texas at 20. ·Alaska is the only state that does not have a state income tax or a state sales tax. It had the highest revenues per capita from taxes levied on businesses for the extraction of oil and gas and receives the highest federal aid per capita. Alaska had the lowest percent of households with annual income below $15,000. ·Over the past decade, over 100 million firearms background checks have been performed nationally, with the highest rate in Utah and the lowest rate in New Jersey ·Mississippi had the lowest personal income per capita, median household income, gross domestic product per capita, and lowest male life expectancy rate. Additionally, it had the highest food stamp recipient rate, rate of persons below the poverty level, and infant mortality rate. ·Florida had the highest rate of identity theft victims in 2010 followed by Arizona, California, and Georgia. ·Texas had the most extreme environmental metrics including the highest major disaster, storm, and wildfire emergency declarations. Texas also had the highest summer air temperature and carbon dioxide emissions level. In addition to extreme environmental metrics, Texas also had the highest property crime rate and high school dropout rate.
How does the United States compare when objectively measured shoulder-to-shoulder against the world’s two most influential autocracies? This full-color book provides a solid foundation to enable the reader to create informed opinions about China, Russia, and the United States through comparative examination of their global status and the quality of their peoples’ lives. Data resources—created by many respected organizations including the World Bank, the United Nations, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and Freedom House, to name a few—have been mined to provide direct comparisons between many key characteristics including health, wealth, poverty, education, employment, crime, imprisonments, freedoms, happiness, natural resources, infrastructure, debt, taxes, trade, military assets, and nuclear warheads. It is the author’s mission to present meaningful data—all with attributed sources—in an inviting, graphic format to convey much more information than would be possible in tabular form. By directly displaying data the usual biases and filters are bypassed enhancing your ability to draw your own conclusions. This visual approach very effectively reveals trends and makes differences between nations and their people self-evident. In the United States (2016): ·64,100 people died of drug overdose and 2.2 million people were in prisons ·The top twenty percent of households received 51.5 percent of all income ·1.2 trillion dollars were added to debt and 241 billion was paid in interest ·Foreigners held one-third of federal debt including 1.1 trillion by China In comparison with the United States Russia had: ·12.5 years lower life expectancy for males born in 2016 (only 65.0 years) ·Double the homicide rate and 40 percent higher suicide rate ·60 percent higher alcohol consumption per capita ·An economy one-fifth as large, measured by GDP in international dollars ·Equivalent number of nuclear warheads (approximately 7,000) ·Double the crude oil reserves and five times the natural gas reserves ·Repressive government—rated within the worst 10 percent by Freedom House ·14 times as many residents (67,000) seeking asylum In comparison with the United States China had: ·An economy 15 percent larger, measured by GDP in international dollars ·Three times as many patent applications filed by residents ·One-fifth the homicide rate and one-half the poverty rate ·58 percent more outbound international tourists ·61 points higher scores in mathematics literacy for students aged 15 years ·Double the total carbon dioxide emissions ·Repressive government—rated within the worst 10 percent by Freedom House ·44 times as many residents (212,000) seeking asylum

In their book, Become Unmistakable: Start the Journey from Commodity to Oddity, Novakoski and Parker examine how business leaders can tap into their “right-brained leadership” to foster a creative and employee-centric culture.
