The World Needs a Mensch... But Stewie Blueschwitz will have to do. A somewhat nebbishy twelve year old, Stewie would have been a curious choice to be a novel's protagonist, were it not for the one unique and hidden ability he discovers. Devoting it at first to his preadolescent fantasies, he comes to realize the potential for greater good. Against all odds, mostly his overbearing yenta of a mother, he aspires to become the first Jewish superh...

This is a book for children ... and for those who teach them. It's a sensitive, respectful alternative to the traditional Columbus Day and Thanksgiving related books and lessons that stereotype, objectify and otherwise do injustice to Indigenous Americans.

I do not expect a good reception from professional philosophers" wrote Whitehead in 1929, immediately after the publication of Process and Reality. Indeed, it took nearly thirty years before scholars seriously started to try to decipher the book taken as a whole. And there remains today "professional" Whiteheadians who claim that this work can - or even should - be bracketed by anyone wishing to get a clear picture of Whitehead's true speculat...

This is an entirely unique and perhaps the definitive children's book on the subject of war. It is written by a concerned author with forty years expertise in child development and children's literature. This is not the kind of book that is designed for light bedtime or story time reading.

In this definitive collection of mountain lore, Alan Weber exhibits forty-three essays by artists and adventurers to whom climbing was more a mission than a sport. Beginning with the fabled tale of Hannibal's Roman invasion-men, horses, and elephants in tow-through the hitherto impassable Alps, the accounts progress to recent descriptions of high-peaks m...
