He''s a barrister - specialising in murder trials - and he''s just too busy to look after her alone. Having previously been home-schooled, the transition is a shock.

'A delight for its warmth and humour, but principally because the writing is alive and stunning.’ The Sunday Times Children's Book of the Week. For readers aged 9+ comes a sparkling new series about family, friends and finding the joy in life! From award-winning author Jenny Valentine, this is the perfect series for fans of Jacqueline Wilson, Cath Howe and Lara Williamson! Meet ten-year-old Joy Applebloom, a girl with a knack for finding the silver lining in even the darkest of rainclouds. After years of travelling the world with her parents and older sister, Claude (Claude rhymes with bored, which is just about right), Joy and her family move to suburbia – back to school, back to her grumpy, rule-obsessed grandad and back to normality. Joy soon finds her usual irrepressible positivity and zest for life waning, but when the powers that be threaten to pull down a mighty oak tree, Joy decides to fight back, and realizes that not all magic requires wands and spells, and perhaps the most important sort of magic is the power, resilience and courage that was there all along . . .Includes beautiful illustrations from Claire Lefevre

V knize se bývalý americký prezident podrobně zabývá předsudky, diskriminací, násilím, zkresleným výkladem náboženských textů (Bible, Koránu a dalších), fyzickým a duševním týráním, chudobou, nemocemi a válkami z hlediska ženské nerovnosti, existující dnes na celém světě. Carter ukazuje, že muži sice s tímto stavem věcí mnohdy nesouhlasí, ale mlčí, aby si zachovali dominantní postavení. Jimmy Carter navštívil se svou ženou Rosalynn 145 zemí světa a společně založili neziskovou organizaci The Carter Center, která aktivně působí v polovině z nich. Měl příležitost seznámit se s lidmi z často velmi odlehlých vesnic v džunglích i pouštích. Dozvěděl se mnoho z jejich osobního života, zvláště to, že nerovnost mezi pohlavími roste stále rychleji a platí to stejnou měrou pro země bohaté i chudé. Carter si sice uvědomuje, že ekonomická nerovnost ve světě představuje čím dál větší problém, ale zároveň již dospěl k pevnému přesvědčení, že nejvážnějším a všeobecně opomíjeným problémem se celosvětově staly deprivace a týrání žen i dívek, jež převážně povstaly z falešného výkladu některých náboženských textů a rostoucí tolerance vůči násilí a válkám - podle jeho slov naneštěstí tento příklad světu poskytly samotné Spojené státy americké.

A modern fable, a post-apocalyptic romance, a gothic horror story; Angela Carter''s genre-defying fantasia Heroes and Villains includes an introduction by Robert Coover in Penguin Modern Classics.Sharp-eyed Marianne lives in a white tower made of steel and concrete with her father and the other Professors. Outside, where the land is thickly wooded and wild beasts roam, live the Barbarians, who raid and pillage in order to survive. Marianne is strictly forbidden to leave her civilized world but, fascinated by these savage outsiders, decides to escape. There, beyond the wire fences, she will discover a decaying paradise, encounter the tattooed Barbarian boy Jewel and go beyond the darkest limits of her imagination.

How resistance to extraction shaped Indigenous demands for autonomy, integration, or assimilationFrom the onset of colonialism, Indigenous communities have faced seizure of their land, labor, and resources by non-Indigenous actors. In The Long Shadow of Extraction, Christopher Carter argues that the native groups’ resistance to extraction took distinct forms, and that this variation explains why some communities demanded autonomy while others demanded integration or assimilation. Countering existing scholarship that assumes a universal demand for autonomy, Carter shows that some Indigenous communities in fact refused government offers to recognize their local political authority and longstanding economic institutions. Carter argues that contemporary Indigenous demands were forged in early twentieth-century efforts to resist extraction. Drawing on two emblematic Latin American cases, Peru and Bolivia, Carter shows that in communities where traditional Indigenous leaders organized resistance, ethnic mobilization occurred and gave rise to enduring demands for autonomy, or state recognition of Indigenous identities and institutions. In communities where unions and leftist parties organized resistance, class-based mobilization became the norm. This led communities to reject autonomy and demand instead integration (state recognition of Indigenous identities but not Indigenous institutions) or assimilation (state recognition of neither Indigenous identities nor institutions).
