Описание:

The best of friends are often found in the most unexpected places.

Miss Henrietta, a cranky recluse who lives in the Ozark backwoods, and Lillian, an eleven-year-old girl, become friends despite their rock-throwing, bone-chilling introduction. Miss Henrietta doesn't like people--especially kids--and Lil fears the old woman is the Woodsy Witch rumored to live in that holler.

Both their lives are changed by a series of hilarious adventures, disasters, and impossible situations. Whether rescuing Lillian's brother from dreadful Aunt Bertha in Oklahoma, yelling down a black bear, understanding problematic parents, scaring the pee out of Great Unknown, dancing for tips at the farmers' market, learning French, cooking on an open fire, or pondering the meaning of love, Miss Henrietta has a bizarre and crusty way of looking at life. Half the time, Lillian believes the ol' woodsy woman is truly crazy because of belief in magic and wild tales of world travel. Lillian earns Miss Henrietta's respect and admiration by her perseverance and fearlessness in challenging the logic of anyone or anything.

Together they make sense of the world and find a sense of kinship neither anticipated.

Описание: Quantitative Literacy shows students that they use math in their everyday lives more than they realize, and that learning math in real-world contexts not only makes it easier to get better grades, but prepares them for decisions they’ll face about money, voting and politics, health issues, and much more. The authors draw on a wide range of examples to give students basic mathematical tools? from sports to personal finance to sociopolitical action to medical tests to the arts?with coverage that neatly balances discussions of ideas with computational practice.

Описание: This book analyses 10 C.F.R. 37, a new rule promulgated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to protect radioactive material. "By-product material" includes specified types of radioactive material other than uranium or plutonium. The rule regulates by-product material of types and in quantities that could be used to make a "dirty bomb". Congress attaches great importance to protecting the United States against terrorist threats and this rule will affect the many industrial, research, and medical activities nation-wide that use radioactive materials, thereby affecting many constituents and raising cost-benefit issues. There is wide concern also about regulation and radiation.

Описание: The concept of Jim Crow, or rather the written and unwritten racist codes and laws used to oppress black people, can be abstract to most. Or something that may have only affected people under it every once in a while. However, if you were a poor, single parent, Black family in the 50's, Jim Crow and his 'kin folk' permeated every part of your existence. In his narrative, Andrew Johnson tells the story of his family's sojourn under this system. Told from the prospective of being the youngest child of ten, the reader is taken through stories that will bring tears, laughter and pride. Yes. Jim Crow was an awful scourge on this family as well as the country. However, through this book, the family through tears and terror shall triumph and show the reader how 'Momma Slapped Jim Crow.'

Описание:

The movie Jeremiah Johnson introduced millions to the legendary mountain man, John Johnson. The real Johnson was a far cry from the Redford version. Standing 6'2" in his stocking feet and weighing nearly 250 pounds, he was a mountain man among mountain men, one of the toughest customers on the western frontier. As the story goes, one morning in 1847 Johnson returned to his Rocky Mountain trapper's cabin to find the remains of his murdered Indian wife and her unborn child. He vowed vengeance against an entire Indian tribe. Crow Killer tells of that one-man, decades-long war to avenge his beloved. Whether seen as a realistic glimpse of a long ago, fierce frontier world, or as a mythic retelling of the many tales spun around and by Johnson, Crow Killer is unforgettable. This new edition, redesigned for the first time, features an introduction by western frontier expert Nathan E. Bender and a glossary of Indian tribes.
