"A fun-filled, original story worthy of inclusion." —School Library Journal"Highly recommended." —Jewish Book Council"A lively, joyful story." —Sydney Taylor Shmooze"Ingenuity and community win the day." —Association of Jewish LibrariesIn a story about community, problem-solving, and flexibility, young Benjy helps bring everyone together to share in the Passover holiday, even if it isn't how they planned to hold their seder.When a fallen palm tree blocks a highway in Israel on the afternoon before Passover, Benjy’s family is stuck in a massive traffic jam. Benjy's family tries to move the tree, but it won't budge. They get help from the other travelers, but still no luck. Everyone is resigned to give up and accept that Passover is ruined.But Benji saves the day! Why is this night different from all other nights? Because they can celebrate Passover together on the side of the road! Everyone pitches in their food and supplies, sharing in their diverse Jewish cultures, to have Seder on the trunk of this pesky palm tree.When the prickly palm table was set, and everybody was seated, Benjy took the stage. “Welcome one and all to this roadside Passover seder. Like our ancestors who had to make do—we had to, too!"

The Child in the City (Vol. II)

University of Toronto Press
1979
pokkari
What do we know about the implications of the major changing forces in urban life for children? What should be our priorities for new policies and practices for children in cities? The traditional view of children as ‘dependants’ obscures the complexity of the urban experience children face. Their social environment is not limited strictly to institutions such as the family and the church. But neither do children have access to the full range of societal offerings. This volume evaluates the basis of current issues of public concern and debate and constructs an agenda for future research, policy, and practice concerning children and families. The perspectives of many disciplines are brought together and integrated in the consideration of such factors as family structure and child care arrangements, urban dilemmas for adolescents, legal structures and practices, urban social organization and service delivery systems, housing and neighbourhood contexts, and ethnic diversity.The book as a whole identifies the fundamentals of a broad issue of concern and offers guidelines for shaping a humane future.

АННА ЛЕВИНА ЗНАЙ НАШИХ Обычно люди фотографируются, когда они счастливы. Наверное поэтому вся прошлая жизнь на фотокарточках кажется сплошным праздником. Родные лица - молодые, смеющиеся, радостные. Памятные места. Застолья... За каждой фоткой - своя история, которая передается из поколения в поколение, а за каждой улыбкой - невидимые миру слезы. Если вы читали роман Александры Бруштейн Дорога уходит в даль, то наверно помните впечатления маленькой докторской дочки о жизни ее родителей. Книга Анны Левиной также, как и книга Александры Бруштейн, построена на автобиографическом материале и охватывает периоды истории России c XIX-ХХI вв. В книгу вошли повести Анны Левиной Знай наших и Гера и рассказы. Читателю очень легко почувствовать себя автором, человеком, с которым произошло почти то же самое, что и с героями повествования. Левина рассказывает о людях, сыгравших важную роль в ее жизни. Какие-то истории, какие-то события - ничего экзотического. Впечатления и переживания, которые много важнее событий. И у читателя внимание обращается уже не к героям, а к своей собственной жизни. К себе. CODE-ART]
АННА ЛЕВИНА ПРИХОДИТЕ СВАТАТЬСЯ УЛЫБКИ И ОШИБКИ Трагикомические злоключения эмигрантки, пытающейся найти спутника жизни в современном Нью-Йорке. Повествование от лица одинокой женщины, эмигрировавшей из России в Нью-Йорк, сфокусировано на отношении героини с мужчинами, и на её бесплодных попытках найти несуществующий романтический идеал и любовь. Так или иначе, но первая встреча героини с новым знакомым оказывается последней. Забавные и смешные, часто несущие разочарование и даже опасность, похождения героини описаны до боли откровенно и самоотверженно. Чем глубже мы погружаемся во внутренний мир героини, тем полнее перед нами открывается весь ужас одиночества этой симпатичной и легкоранимой женщины, как результат её несбывшихся надежд. Приходите свататься является первой книгой в трилогии Брак по-эмигрантски, Развод по-эмигрантски. CODE-ART]
Light is changing, dramatically. Our world is getting brighter - you can see it from space. But is brighter always better? Artificial light is voracious and spreading. Vanquishing precious darkness across the planet, when we are supposed to be using less energy. The quality of light has altered as well. Technology and legislation have crushed warm incandescent lighting in favour of harsher, often glaring alternatives. Light is fundamental - it really matters. It interacts with life in profound yet subtle ways: it tells plants which way to grow, birds where to fly and coral when to spawn. It tells each and every one of us when to sleep, wake, eat. We mess with the eternal rhythm of dawn-day-dusk-night at our peril. But mess with it we have, and we still don't truly understand the consequences. In Incandescent, journalist Anna Levin reveals her own fraught relationship with changes in lighting, and she explores its real impact on nature, our built environment, health and psychological well-being. We need to talk about light, urgently. And ask the critical question: just how bright is our future?
In a pet dog you have your own personal trainer, your most loyal companion, your friendliest welcome, your uncritical friend. Yes, there are the muddy paws, the walks in the rain, the wet fur and the chewed footwear ... but let's look at the big picture! In a tribute to Man's Best Friend, Anna Levin's delightful short poem is a homage to our pet dogs, each line illustrated with a moving photograph of someone's mutt: funny, heart-wrenching, loving, exasperating and paying back their owners a hundred times over.
The darkness of the night represents something unknowable – even frightening – to many. But when we really look up and into it, we can find celestial light shows, whole ecosystems, and, perhaps, a new perspective. The night sky offers something essential – a connection to something bigger than ourselves that can, in turn, help us understand ourselves and each other better. Humans have recognised and tried to make sense of this feeling since ancient times. For so many – from physicists and astronauts to astrologists and artists - the night sky has been a source of inspiration, wonder and exploration. But now our relationship to dark skies is changing as our access to them is depleted. Light pollution all over Earth can be seen from space, altering the landscape and outlining the coasts. And if we look from Earth into space, we can see artificial light there, too. In this short volume, Anna Levin looks at how we can learn from and nurture our relationship with the night sky even and especially in the context of our changing world. As you learn how to see and treasure the night sky, a sense of wonder about the universe will help you to understand more about our own pale blue dot.

A photographic celebration of the return of otters to our rivers and freshwater wetlands after a drastic decline.Ripples of excitement are spreading through Europe’s rivers and wetlands. A generation ago, otter watching was a wildlife highlight restricted to remote coastal areas – otter populations had been decimated over the previous century by pesticide poisoning and habitat disturbance. Now we are seeing the positive effect of determined conservation efforts over recent decades. As our waterways improve, otters are returning and spreading throughout their former habitats.One of the UK’s leading natural history photographers, Laurie Campbell got to know otters while working in Scotland’s Highlands and Islands, but he had never seen these elusive predators on his home beat. Then, in the early 1990s, he was delighted to find otters back on the Tweed and its tributaries, a river system he has lived close to for most of his life. The discovery launched him on a quest to create a photographic account of their lives on his home river.More than two decades later, otter numbers continue to increase, and new generations of otters have become more confident around people, sometimes appearing in broad daylight and in town centres. Laurie continues his long-standing study, still photographing the otters through the changing seasons – always with an eye on the bigger picture of the river itself and the plants and animals that share the otters’ habitat.Wildlife journalist and writer Anna Levin accompanies Laurie to the riverbank and learns of his working philosophy and fieldcraft. Together they weave a wealth of information into the stories that the pictures tell. While extracts from Anna’s notebooks offer a vivid glimpse of the photographer at work and the otters that enchant them both.

A unique collection of essays that provides theoretical basis for the value of using creative teaching assignments in Medieval and Renaissance history and literature classes and offers a whole toolbox of practical suggestions that allow students to connect course material to their own experiences and help them care more about the material they are seeking to master. First and foremost for teachers of the pre-modern to adapt and use in college courses of all levels, many of the assignments are also adaptable for a high school classroom. In addition, this volume reaches into broader questions of pedagogical methodology, philosophy, and theory. The contributors reflect on the value and necessity of creative teaching and learning, on using non-traditional classroom activities to tether the students to the material in a more intimate, deeper conceived, and often transformative engagement.
