Book Description
Inside a tree in the outskirts of Missionville, Texas, orange ladybugs Trey and Shelly Bopper snore peacefully in their twiggy bed, unaware that swarms of hungry aphids are moving outside their home. Just as they are awakened by the strange humming sound, Trey and Shelly realize that their pupae are hatching; they have just become the proud parents of Leggy, Antenny, and Tribeetleye, who are each unique and beautiful in their own way. Thrilled that he and Shelly now have three helpers to assist in fending off the invaders, Trey still cannot help but worry about his little ones ability to fight the aphids and predators because of their unusual features. Even so, Shelly convinces him to train Leggy, who has thick furry legs; Antenny, who has unusually long antennae; and Tribeetleye, who has an extra eye but is missing one leg. When theyre ready, they all embark on a dangerous mission to gobble the aphids. In this delightful childrens tale, the Bopper family must draw on their love of family and trust in each others strengths as they courageously confront dragonflies, wasps, a jumping spider, and a pirate bug in a brave attempt to save their home and one of their own.

Urban Policy in the European Union
Author: Maria Tofarides
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351767003
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 295
Book Description
This title was first published in 2003.This book examines the development of urban policy instruments at the level of the EU primarily by the use of Structural Funds under the European Commission's Directorate-General for Regional Policy. This is the first book-length analysis of the politics of EU urban policy. The first section of the book concentrates on how and why the European Commission, with no clear mandate from the Treaties for an urban policy, has ventured into this area. The second section examines in detail the implementation of one of these instruments in two specific cases: London and Marseilles. This highlights the role of central, and other levels of government, in policy implementation. The comparison between the cases brings important insights into the differences in local political structures and practices in France and the United Kingdom. The book demonstrates in-depth knowledge and analysis of the policy area and relevant theoretical works. This includes a large volume of published and unpublished materials as well as valuable information obtained through a series of interviews. The findings have general implications for relations between the Commission and localities, particularly the difficulties of involving ordinary people in European issues.
