Young Ethan does things every day that show he doesn't know how they may be causing harm to the Earth, like wasting water in the bathroom and drinking with straws. His friend John teaches him how he can save more of the Earth's resources by taking quick showers instead of baths, avoiding plastics and paper waste, and recycling. Ethan then tells his parents that by being more careful, everyone can help save the Earth-one straw at a time. It's a great picture book to remind readers of the lasting impression our daily choices can have on earth.

David Liu's memoir, written in a series of small stories.

In recent years the international community has begun to scrutinize and, in many cases, condemn the atrocities that took place at Nanking in late 1937. This is all part of a larger worldwide movement in which both nations and multinational groups are attempting to reach closure regarding past atrocities and inhumanities. As represented by the contributors to this book, these activities have an importance reaching far beyond aggressors or victims, beyond admission or vindication, but rather are a search for the common causes of all human atrocities and for solutions that would set humanity on a path toward a more peaceful and harmonious international community.
