Historias mágicas
by Annemarie Nikolaus Sandra Elisabeth Monge BarthRelatos cortos fabulosos con sentido profundo Una pequeña maga, una liebre con dotes de magia, un espíritu acuático y una bruja buena: Magia e inteligencia, realidad y leyenda, se unen en estas cuatro historias que hacen sonreír y reflexionar. Una historia en la que es importante pensar bien lo que uno desea; dos historias que hablan del poder de la naturaleza y la insensatez de las personas; y un peculiar cuento de Navidad. ''El Arroyo'' y ''Corcho'' fueron publicados hace unos años en antologías de ''Story-Olympiade''; el cuento de Navidad en italiano. A partir de 8 años. Relatos cortos no sólo para niños. DE RESEÑAS: «Las ''Historias mágicas'' forman en el estricto sentido de la palabra un libro para toda la familia. «Los textos son variados, apropiados para niños de todas la edades y, a la vez, entretenidos también para adultos. (...) Todas las historias se basan en una declaración que a todo el mundo interesa: vale proteger a la naturaleza que se ve amenazada por los ánimos de lucro desconsiderados». «Cuatro historias de tipo exquisito y cautivador que no solo divierten a los niños, sino que también hacen sonreír a los adultos. (…) Una experiencia más que entretenida para los niños con pasión por la magia y también para los mayores porque cada cuento está escrito de manera profunda desde una experiencia de la vida». «Descubrir estas historias junto con niños, producen una gran alegría. En este caso no se trata de algo escrito a las prisas y que uno olvida al día siguiente. Una intención fundamental de la autora, la cual se nota claramente, es respetar y proteger la naturaleza. Las historias ofrecen por si solas tema de conversación de manera espontánea sobre el asunto con los niños.» «En las historias no hay ningún dedo índice elevado y, sin embargo, transmiten mensajes del bien y el mal basados en acontecimientos místicos, como en la hist

Historical and Cultural Transformations of Russian Childhood: Myths and Realities (Children's Literature and Culture)
by Marina Balina Larissa Rudova Anastasia KostetskayaHistorical and Cultural Transformations of Russian Childhood is a collection of multidisciplinary scholarly essays on childhood experience. The volume offers new critical approaches to Russian and Soviet childhood at the intersection of philosophy, literary criticism, film/visual studies, and history. Pedagogical ideas and practices, and the ideological and political underpinnings of the experience of growing up in pre-revolutionary Russia, the Soviet Union, and Putin’s contemporary Russia are central venues of analysis. Toward the goal of constructing the "multimedial childhood text," the contributors tackle issues of happiness and trauma associated with childhood and foreground its fluidity and instability in the Russian context. The volume further examines practices of reading childhood: as nostalgic text, documentary evidence, and historic mythology. Considering Russian childhood as historical documentation or fictional narrative, as an object of material culture, and as embodied in different media (periodicals, visual culture, and cinema), the volume intends to both problematize but also elucidate the relationship between childhood, history, and various modes of narrativity.

Historical Heartthrobs
by Kelly Murphy Hallie FrydHistory is about much more than dusty books, dreary dates, and long-forgotten battles. History is also about sex appeal! Historical Heartthrobs compiles photos and life stories of 50 of the sexiest men and women from history and asks the essential question: Would you really want to date them? Consider George Sand, for instance. She was the hottest thing in pants in nineteenth-century France, but would you really want to put up with all that smoking? Or what about Nikola Tesla? His utter brilliance made Victorians swoon, but he seemed incapable of swooning back. Would you endure his indifference in return for that incredible smile? Each entry in Historical Heartthrobs includes a full-page photo, contemporary quotes, and an in-depth explanation of who these people were, why they mattered, and how they managed to be so seductive. Entries also include: Vital stats about the hottie's place of birth, lifespan, and major areas of influence. The inside scoop on peccadilloes, noteworthy liaisons, and long-standing relationships. An overall heat reading that factors in sex appeal, charisma, accomplishments, and of course, moral virtue. (Points are docked for brutality and rudeness!) Everyone included here made their mark on the world--but not everyone did so in an equally admirable fashion. John Wilkes Booth was definitely good-looking, but racist assassins don't generally make for the best life partners. Nellie Bly, on the other hand, did more in her average year than most people do in a lifetime--and she happened to look like a model, too. So review their records, check out their photos, and choose the hottie who makes you swoon.

History Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond
by Bert Bower Jim LobdellHistory Alive! The Medieval World and Beyond is probably unlike any other history program you have ever encountered. Perhaps you have been in history classes where you listen to the teacher and then read a textbook and answer chapter questions. Does this approach make you excited about learning history? Most students would say no, and educational researchers would tend to agree. Researchers have discovered new ways of reaching all students in the diverse classroom. This program relies on three of their theories: 1) Students learn best through multiple intelligences; 2) Cooperative interaction increases learning gains; and, 3) All students can learn via the spiral curriculum.
