Noah Webster: Man of Many Words
by Catherine ReefNoah Webster may be best remembered the enormous and ambitious task of writing his famous dictionary, but for him, this accomplishment was a means to an end. His true goal was to streamline the language spoken in our newly formed country so that it could be used as a force to bring people together and be a source of national pride. Though people laughed at his ideas, Webster never doubted himself. In the end, his so-called foolish notions achieved just what he had hoped. Here, in the only account of Noah Webster for teens, the seasoned biographer Catherine Reef guides us through Webster's remarkable life, from boyhood on a Connecticut farm through the fight for American independence to his days as a writer and political activist who greatly influenced our Founding Fathers and the direction of the young United States.

Nobody's Law: Legal Consciousness and Legal Alienation in Everyday Life (Palgrave Socio-Legal Studies)
by Marc HertoghNobody’s Law shows how people – who are disappointed, disenchanted, and outraged about the justice system – gradually move away from law. Using detailed case studies and combining different theoretical perspectives, this book explores the legal consciousness of ordinary people, businessmen, and street-level bureaucrats in the Netherlands. The empirical research in this study tells an original and alternative narrative about the role of law in everyday life. While previous studies emphasize the law’s hegemony and argue that it’s ‘all over’, Hertogh shows that legal proliferation makes it harder for people to know, and subsequently identify with, the law. As a result, official law has become increasingly remote and irrelevant to many people. The central finding presented in this highly topical text is that these developments signal a process of ‘legal alienation’— a gradual and mundane process with potentially serious consequences for the legitimacy of law. A timely and original study, this book will be of particular interest to scholars in the fields of law and society, socio-legal studies and legal theory.

Nocturne: A Journey in Search of Moonlight
by James Attlee“Nobody who has not taken one can imagine the beauty of a walk through Rome by full moon,” wrote Goethe in 1787. Sadly, the imagination is all we have today: in Rome, as in every other modern city, moonlight has been banished, replaced by the twenty-four-hour glow of streetlights in a world that never sleeps. Moonlight, for most of us, is no more. So James Attlee set out to find it. Nocturne is the record of that journey, a traveler’s tale that takes readers on a dazzling nighttime trek that ranges across continents, from prehistory to the present, and through both the physical world and the realms of art and literature. Attlee attends a Buddhist full-moon ceremony in Japan, meets a moon jellyfish on a beach in Northern France, takes a moonlit hike in the Arizona desert, and experiences a lunar eclipse on New Year’s Eve atop the snowbound Welsh hills. Each locale is illuminated not just by the moonlight he seeks, but by the culture and history that define it. We learn about Mussolini’s pathological fear of moonlight; trace the connections between Caspar David Friedrich, Rudolf Hess, and the Apollo space mission; and meet the inventors of the Moonlight Collector in the American desert, who aim to cure all kinds of ailments with concentrated lunar rays. Svevo and Blake, Whistler and Hokusai, Li Po and Marinetti are all enlisted, as foils, friends, or fellow travelers, on Attlee’s journey. Pulled by the moon like the tide, Attlee is firmly in a tradition of wandering pilgrims that stretches from Basho to Sebald; like them, he presents our familiar world anew.

Nomeolvides Armenuhi (Edición actualizada): La historia de mi abuela armenia
by Magda TagtachianLa conmovedora historia de Armenuhi, abuela de la autora, que sobrevivió a la persecución y muerte en el Genocidio Armenio y llegó sola a la Argentina a los 14 años. Armenuhi enhebró en Buenos Aires el presente y futuro de toda la familia. Fue paciente, amorosa y determinada. Protegió y guió a cada uno de los suyos, como lo había hecho su padre cuando escapaban por el desierto con hambre, frío y sed. Cuando se desencadenó la feroz persecución contra el pueblo armenio, en 1915, Armenuhi tenía un año y medio y vivía con su familia en el pueblo de Aintab, por entonces parte del Imperio Otomano. Como muchos de sus compatriotas, viajó oculta en alforjas cuando, en su huida, los padres cruzaron a pie el desierto Der Zor, sin alimentos ni agua. Tres años después regresaron, pero el sueño duró poco. Esta vez, para salvarse debieron arrojarse de un tren en movimiento que los llevaba a un destino siniestro donde los armenios morían extenuados, calcinados por el sol, o vejados a manos de los soldados otomanos. Apenas adolescente, Armenuhi (que significa "mujer armenia") fue enviada a Buenos Aires para casarse con Yervant, un hombre que doblaba su edad y a quien jamás había visto. Con él convivió cincuenta años, y juntos fundaron una familia que se hizo enorme y permanece hasta hoy entrelazada. Incansable, Armenuhi transitó durante años los pasillos de consulados, embajadas y la Cruz Roja para traer a sus padres y sus hermanos desde Oriente medio y ayudar a su hermana a salir de la Armenia soviética. Hurgando en recuerdos propios y familiares, Magda Tagtachian reconstruye en Nomeolvides Armenuhi la vida de una mujer que sobrevivió al genocidio de su pueblo y que, con amor y determinación, dedicó su vida a proteger y guiar a cada uno de los suyos.
