We're Not from Here
Author: Geoff Rodkey
Publisher: Crown Books for Young Readers
ISBN: 1524773069
Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 256
Book Description
Imagine being forced to move to a new planet where YOU are the alien! From the creator of the Tapper Twins, New York Times bestselling author Geoff Rodkey delivers a topical, sci-fi middle-grade novel that proves friendship and laughter can transcend even a galaxy of differences. The first time I heard about Planet Choom, we'd been on Mars for almost a year. But life on the Mars station was grim, and since Earth was no longer an option (we may have blown it up), it was time to find a new home. That's how we ended up on Choom with the Zhuri. They're very smart. They also look like giant mosquitos. But that's not why it's so hard to live here. There's a lot that the Zhuri don't like: singing (just ask my sister, Ila), comedy (one joke got me sent to the principal's office), or any kind of emotion. The biggest problem, though? The Zhuri don't like us. And if humankind is going to survive, it's up to my family to change their minds. No pressure.

Ever since the fin de siecle Austrian literature has been fertile ground for fantasy in the widest sense and the genre was taken up again by new generations after the Second World War. The Dedalus Book of Austrian Fantasy: 1890-2000 contains stories from authors of the 1890s (Schnitzler, Hofmannsthal), the years around the First World War (Kafka, Meyrink), the post-war era, when Kafka was rediscovered, (Jeannie Ebner, Ilse Aichinger) to the present day (H C Artmann, Michael Koehlmeier).

Monsters
Author: Charles Eisenmann
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781550225327
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 142
Book Description
During the 1880s (America¿s Gilded Age), New York¿s Bowery roared day and night like no other street in the world. Home to countless beer halls, melodrama theatres, and dime museum exotic shows, this strip of diversions entertained the newly arrived immigrant masses - the first generation to work in corporate factories, live in high-rises, eat processed food, and banish the night with electric lights. As city population densities swelled to a third of a million per square mile, these urban workers took a certain Darwinian pleasure in staring at freaks-living proof that life could be even worse. Photographer Charles Eisenmann¿s studio at 229 Bowery stood right in the middle of it all. As &;ldquo;the oldest, the largest, and the best," Eisenmann practised photography at a time when it was still a black art - a series of mysterious and complex procedures executed in darkness. Working in his studio of elaborate high Victorian sets, Eisenmann acted as court photographer to all of the era¿s most famous giants, dwarfs, and exotics. Classified as "monsters" by doctors of the day, Eisenmann¿s sitters included the four-legged lady (Myrtle Corbin), the Sacred Hairy Family of Burma, the diminutive Admiral Dot, a thousand- pound fat-man, Zip the Pin-head, and even the biggest hoaxer of them all - the inventor of the travelling circus and modern advertising - the great P.T. Barnum. Eisenmann¿s beautifully crafted photographs made his weird clients as famous and successful as any rock star or royalty.

Tumult
Author: Hans Magnus Enzensberger
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780857423702
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Hans Magnus Enzensberger, widely regarded as Germany's greatest living poet, was already well known in the 1960s, the tempestuous decade of which Tumult is an autobiographical record. Derived from old papers, notes, jottings, photos, and letters that the poet stumbled upon years later in his attic, the volume is not so much about the man, but rather the many places he visited and people whom he met on his travels through the Soviet Union and Cuba during the 1960s. The book is made up of four longform pieces written from 1963 to 1970, each episode concluding with a poem and postscript written in 2014. Tumult is based on Enzensberger's personal experience as a left-wing sympathizer during that tumultuous decade and focuses on political events and their participants. Translated by Mike Mitchell, the book is a lively and deftly written travelogue offering a glimpse into the history of leftist thought. Dedicated to "those who disappeared," Tumult is a document of that which remains one of humanity's headiest times. "Enzensberger is the most important postwar writer you have never read."--London Review of Books

Book Description
The Middle East is spinning out of control, but what does that mean to a simple fast-order cook in Central California? Everything-his family, his love life, his future, his purpose. And it may be that he means a great deal to the Middle East. Some are willing to kill him and others are willing to risk their lives to protect him. This adventure takes the reader to Turkey, Iran, and Arabia. Themes of historical religions of the Middle East, modern interpretations, truth, understanding, and what the future holds for this volatile region are interwoven throughout the book. Romance and its seeming impossibility provide a metaphor for all that is wonderful about this region, and all that may be suffocating hope. The unspoken question through most of the book asks is something more happening as this adventure unfolds?

Except for Palestine
Author: Marc Lamont Hill
Publisher: The New Press
ISBN: 1620975939
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
A bold call for the American Left to extend their politics to the issues of Israel-Palestine, from a New York Times bestselling author and an expert on U.S. policy in the region In this major work of daring criticism and analysis, scholar and political commentator Marc Lamont Hill and Israel-Palestine expert Mitchell Plitnick spotlight how holding fast to one-sided and unwaveringly pro-Israel policies reflects the truth-bending grip of authoritarianism on both Israel and the United States. Except for Palestine deftly argues that progressives and liberals who oppose regressive policies on immigration, racial justice, gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and other issues must extend these core principles to the oppression of Palestinians. In doing so, the authors take seriously the political concerns and well-being of both Israelis and Palestinians, demonstrating the extent to which U.S. policy has made peace harder to attain. They also unravel the conflation of advocacy for Palestinian rights with anti-Semitism and hatred of Israel. Hill and Plitnick provide a timely and essential intervention by examining multiple dimensions of the Israeli-Palestinian conversation, including Israel's growing disdain for democracy, the effects of occupation on Palestine, the siege of Gaza, diminishing American funding for Palestinian relief, and the campaign to stigmatize any critique of Israeli occupation. Except for Palestine is a searing polemic and a cri de coeur for elected officials, activists, and everyday citizens alike to align their beliefs and politics with their values.
