Book Description
My Home Too is a fictional story based on actual interactions with nature that reflect the trials, embrace, and joy in sharing community with nature, as Coco and Mango realized after the shock of discovering all the animals living at their home. Mango and Coco, two beautiful little girl house dogs, enjoyed the comfort and security of their home inside and outside and the freedom to run, jump, and play with each other. Until one day at twilight, they noticed what they thought was an intruder sitting on their fence. It was Mr. O, an owl. Unknown to the girls, the owl had been living in the tree in the backyard. Coco and Mango questioned Mr. O to find out what he was doing there sitting on their fence. They knew about the birds and squirrels that they encounter daily. But they had never seen an owl, especially at their home. It seemed like every day they were discovering some new creature they had not seen in their backyard. With each encounter, Mango and Coco became more frustrated. Once Mr. O made his acquaintance with Coco and Mango, the other nocturnal creatures came out and greeted the girls, making their acquaintance and assuring them that they weren't there to invade their home. However, they all had to adapt because of all the modern development of their lands for human consumption and because of that they were uprooted from their natural homes in the wild. So they have to adapt to living among the humans. The animals also explained to Coco and Mango the importance of sharing outdoor space and maintaining a healthy ecological system. Mango and Coco became acceptive of their new acquaintances and gained more knowledge and understanding. In addition to a great story, the author presents activities such as vocabulary list, questionnaire, and Venn diagram that aid parents and teachers in their children's early child development that supports children's academic learning.

Book Description
A love letter from two Americans to their adopted city, Tasting Rome is a showcase of modern dishes influenced by tradition, as well as the rich culture of their surroundings. Even 150 years after unification, Italy is still a divided nation where individual regions are defined by their local cuisine. Each is a mirror of its city’s culture, history, and geography. But cucina romana is the country’s greatest standout. Tasting Rome provides a complete picture of a place that many love, but few know completely. In sharing Rome’s celebrated dishes, street food innovations, and forgotten recipes, journalist Katie Parla and photographer Kristina Gill capture its unique character and reveal its truly evolved food culture—a culmination of 2000 years of history. Their recipes acknowledge the foundations of Roman cuisine and demonstrate how it has transitioned to the variations found today. You’ll delight in the expected classics (cacio e pepe, pollo alla romana, fiore di zucca); the fascinating but largely undocumented Sephardic Jewish cuisine (hraimi con couscous, brodo di pesce, pizzarelle); the authentic and tasty offal (guanciale, simmenthal di coda, insalata di nervitti); and so much more. Studded with narrative features that capture the city’s history and gorgeous photography that highlights both the food and its hidden city, you’ll feel immediately inspired to start tasting Rome in your own kitchen. eBook Bonus Material: Be sure to check out the directory of all of Rome's restaurants mentioned in the book!

Book Description
Architects and artists have always acknowledged over the centuries that Rome is rightly called the 'eternal city'. Rome is eternal above all because it was always young, always 'in its prime'. Here the buildings that defined the West appeared over more than 2000 years, here the history of European architecture was written. The foundations were laid even in ancient Roman times, when the first attempts were made to design interiors and thus make space open to experience as something physical. And at that time the Roman architects also started to develop building types that are still valid today, thus creating the cornerstone of later Western architecture. In it Rome's primacy remained unbroken -- whether it was with old St Peter's as the first medieval basilica or new St. Peter's as the building in which Bramante and Michelangelo developed the High Renaissance, or with works by Bernini and Borromini whose rich and lucid spatial forms were to shape Baroque as far as Vienna, Bohemia and Lower Franconia, and also with Modern buildings, of which there are many unexpected pearls to be found in Rome. All this is comprehensible only if it is presented historically, i. e. in chronological sequence, and so the guide has not been arranged topographically as usual but chronologically.This means that one is not led in random sequence from a Baroque building to an ancient or a modern one, but the historical development is followed successively. Every epoch is preceded by an introduction that identifies its key features. This produces a continuous, lavishly illustrated history of the architecture of Rome -- and thus at the same time of the whole of the West. Practical handling is guaranteed by an alphabetical index and detailed maps, whose information does not just immediately illustrate the historical picture, but also makes it possible to choose a personal route through history.
