Corre para huir de las miradas de la gente cuando la ven con su &“madre&” blanca: una mirada de lástima. Corre para huir de la razón por la que ya no puede vivir con su mamá &“real&”: su mamá tiene &“el azúcar&”, y Patty tiene terror de que la enfermedad que se llevó las piernas de su madre regrese un día y se la lleve de una vez y por siempre. Así que Patty también corre por su mamá, que no puede hacerlo. Pero ¿acaso es posible en verdad huir de todo esto? El estrés aumenta, y con el también se ha asentado una actitud bastante negativa. Y el entrenador no tolera actitudes negativas. Ni hoy ni mañana. ¿Y ahora quiere que Patty corra la carrea de relevo… en donde hay que depender de los demás? ¿Y cómo se supone que Patty haga ESO?

Patterns of World History Combined Volume
by Peter Von Sivers George B. Stow Charles A. DesnoyersPatterns of World History comes to the teaching of world history from the perspective of innovation as the engine driving historical change. If we consider innovation to be a driving force of history, it helps satisfy an intrinsic human curiosity about origins - our own and others. Perhaps more importantly, seeing patterns of innovation in historical development brings to light connections and linkages among peoples, cultures, and regions that might not otherwise present themselves. At the same time such patterns can also reveal differences among cultures that other approaches to world history tend to neglect. Through a distinct framework for understanding the global past through the study of origins, interactions, and adaptations, this text examines the full range of human ingenuity over time and space in a comprehensive, even-handed, and critical fashion.
Patterns Of World History (Second Edition)
by Peter Von Sivers Charles A. Desnoyers George B. StowEncouraging a broad-based understanding of continuity, change, and innovation in human history, Patterns of World History presents the global past in a comprehensive, even-handed, and open-ended fashion Patterns of World History offers a distinct framework for understanding the global past through the study of origins, interactions, and adaptations. Authors Peter von Sivers, Charles A. Desnoyers, and George Stow--each specialists in their respective fields--examine the full range of human ingenuity over time and space in a comprehensive, even-handed, and critical fashion. The book helps students to see and understand patterns through: ORIGINS - INTERACTIONS - ADAPTATIONS These key features show the O-I-A framework in action: * Seeing Patterns, a list of key questions at the beginning of each chapter, focuses students on the 3-5 over-arching patterns, which are revisited, considered, and synthesized at the end of the chapter in Thinking Through Patterns * Each chapter includes a Patterns Up Close case study that brings into sharp relief the O-I-A pattern using a specific idea or thing that has developed in human history (and helped, in turn, develop human history), like the innovation of the Chinese writing system or religious syncretism in India. Each case study clearly shows how an innovation originated either in one geographical center or independently in several different centers. It demonstrates how, as people in the centers interacted with their neighbors, the neighbors adapted to--and in many cases were transformed by--the idea, object, or event. Adaptations include the entire spectrum of human responses, ranging from outright rejection to creative borrowing and, at times, forced acceptance.
Patty's Got a Gun: Patricia Hearst in 1970s America
by William GraebnerPatty Hearst's life changed abruptly at 9 p.m., February 4, 1974, when her fiancé , philosophy graduate student Steven Weed, opened the front door of their Berkeley, California, apartment.

by Preeti ChhibberThis laugh-out-loud debut romance introduces perfectly imperfect Payal Mehta, whose plan to get her longtime crush to finally notice her is destined for success, but only if she ignores her budding feelings for her archnemesis...Payal Mehta has had a crush on popular, athletic, all-around perfect Jonathan Slate ever since he smiled at her in freshman–year Spanish class. At a party during spring break of her junior year, Payal finally works up the courage to ask Jon to hang out. However, her romantic plans are derailed when he vomits on her Keds. Twice. But when Jon offers to take her out to lunch as an apology, Payal is convinced this is the start of their love story. Over chalupas and burritos at Taco Bell, Payal's best jokes are landing as planned. Jon is basically choking on his Coke—and then it happens. "Do you have a boyfriend?" Payal is (finally) about to get the guy. And then he tries to set her up with his Indian friend. Payal's best friends, Neil Patel and Divya Bhatt, are just as mad about the microagression as Payal is, but they think she&’s a little too hung up on him. Determined to teach Jon a lesson by making him fall for her, Payal ropes in her archnemesis, Philip Kim, to help. It&’s the perfect plan. Minus Philip&’s snarky, annoying quips and lack of faith in its success. But as Payal lies to the people she loves, hides the too-Indian parts of herself in front of her crush, and learns that maybe Philip isn't the worst, she starts to wonder if what she's been looking for has been scowling at her all along...

The Peaceable Kingdom: A Primer in Christian Ethics
by Stanley M. HauerwasWhile this book is meant to be a primer or introduction to Christian ethics which I hope can be used both in introductory courses in college and by adult study groups, I am not providing a survey of what various ethicists think on current issues in the field. Nor will I offer any extensive analysis of past and current figures in Christian ethics. Instead this book is an introduction in the sense that it attempts to present one straightforward account of a Christian ethic.
Pearl Harbor: FDR Leads the Nation Into War
by Steven M. GillonWritten in simple language for general readers in high school and up, this book chronicles President Franklin D. Roosevelt's decisions and actions in the 24 hours after the Japanese attack on the US Navy's base at Pearl Harbor, culminating in his declaration of war to Congress on the day after the attack. Even as he declared war, FDR kept the worst details of the attack from the American public and Congress in order to boost morale and head off criticism. Focusing on the first 24 hours allows the author to provide a new perspective on the inner workings of the presidency in the face of crisis. The book's type size is larger than many books, although not officially 'large print. ' The publication of the book coincides with a December 2011 TV special on The History Channel. Gillon (history, U. of Oklahoma) is resident historian for The History Channel. He has written eight other books on history for general readers.
