Описание:

Bullying is no good," Roy stated with conviction, as a classroom full of fourth-graders stared at him in rapt attention. "Other kids can be mean. They make fun of you for anything that is different. They call you names and make you feel bad about yourself. And that's no good. They tell you things that aren't true, but it still hurts."

They told him he was stupid. They told him he was worthless. They were wrong.

Roy Irwin was institutionalized as a child and bullied throughout his young life because of learning disabilities and a speech impediment. Most people thought that he would never amount to anything. But Roy proved his critics wrong when he learned to read at the age of fifty.

A decade later, Lauren Filarsky got to know Roy Irwin when he fulfilled a life dream by learning to train horses in the round pen on her parents' ranch. Roy used his accomplishments to inspire hundreds of students to never give up on their dreams. He became an inspirational speaker in the local schools, explaining bullying to kids and helping them deal with bullies. These are Lauren's memories of her friendship with this remarkable man.

NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST

"Vivid and ethereal" -New York Times

"Radioactive is quite unlike any book I have ever read--part history, part love story, part art work and all parts sheer imaginative genius."
-- Malcolm Gladwell

Radioactive is the mesmerizing, landmark illustrated biography of Marie Curie, by acclaimed author and artist Lauren Redniss. Through brilliant visual storytelling, Redniss walks us through Curie's life, which was marked by extraordinary scientific discovery and dramatic personal trauma-- from her complex working and romantic relationship with Pierre Curie, to their discovery of two new scientific elements, to Pierre's tragic death, to Marie's two Nobel Prizes. A haunting and wondrous portrait of one of history's most intriguing figures, Radioactive combines archival photos, images, and clippings with dazzling line drawings and a compelling narrative to tell Curie's story. Far more than an art book or a graphic novel, Radioactive is a stunning visual biography and a true work of art.

Описание:

Ruling the moon, Luna the Star Horse

Helped human sailors keep on their course.

But a challenge arose for control of the moon,

Creating on Earth a terrible typhoon.

A difficult decision had to be made--

Keep what she had, or go to friends' aid.

A story of friendship and doing what's right,

No matter what challenges rise in the night.

Описание:

"The Necessary Poetics of Atheism" collects poems and essays by three award-winning contemporary poets who demonstrate how atheism informs their poetics: as "a vehicle of political protest" in the work of Mart n Espada, as a form of activism and secular goodness in Lauren Marie Schmidt's poems, and as an aesthetic confrontation of a theistic worldview in J. D. Schraffenberger's writing. An enlightening foreword by the atheist philosopher Andrew Sneddon and a compelling introduction by poet Heid E. Erdrich invite us to read these "uneasy, contentious, complex, powerful, triumphant voices that allow goodness to shine without God." Espada asks, "Where, then, does an atheist poet put his or her faith? Where do we find our salvation? Some poets would say: Poetry." Put your faith in "The Necessary Poetics of Atheism" and find salvation in these provocative pages.
