Hardback. Zustand: Good. In this superb debut collection of short stories, Mathieu Cailler weaves tales which bring to life the deeply-human experience with loss and its range of outcomes. From loneliness to recovered relationships, from despair to redemption, from heartbreak to humor, these fifteen stories illuminate the sadness, bewilderment, conflict and ultimate hope which can come from each human being's inevitable encounters with loss. Author Laurie Alberts writes: LOS ANGELES doesn't focus on the bright lights of Tinseltown, but rather on the quiet day-to-day pain of marginalized people paralyzed by loss, poor choices, obsessions, and love.

Paperback. Zustand: Good. One of the most frequently taught slave narratives, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass is assigned in many courses, including American and African American literature, African American studies, women's studies, and even composition. Regularly excerpted in introductory American literature and composition anthologies, Douglass's classic first-person account is ideal for exploring the artistic accomplishment of the slave narrator. In this Approaches to Teaching World Literature volume, sixteen essays on teaching the work testify to the complexity of such accounts and their possibilities in the classroom.Like other books in the MLA's Approaches series, this one is divided into two parts. The first part, "Materials," discusses the reference works, historical and critical studies, and other materials most commonly used and recommended by teachers of Douglass's work. In the second part, "Approaches," a diverse group of scholars describe methods of presentation that they have found effective for enlivening classroom discussion and enhancing students' appreciation of the text. Their essays outline the challenges posed by Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass and the fundamental literary and historical debates surrounding the narrator's account. They also evaluate problems of cultural authority and historical record, provide examples of teaching the text alongside other slave narratives, and suggest ways to incorporate it into introductory courses such as humanities and world literature.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Happy Mamas is a lyrical read aloud that pays tribute to the universal joys of mothering in the animal and human kingdoms. Charming illustrations depict all the activities that bring joy to a mama and her baby over the course of a day: feeding her cubs bundles of bamboo shoots; teaching her calf how to trumpet a loud jungle cheer; playing peek-a- boo; watching her chicks fly from the nest; singing a serenade to the man in the moon; or crooning owly lullabies through the deep, dark woods. But as the moon glows and the stars shine, what is it that makes all mamas from desert to jungle, from forest to field, from land to sea happiest by far? Mamas and babies everywhere will delight in this happy romp a perfect ode to motherhood. Ruth E. Harper (illustrator).…
