Explores iconic works from The Cat in the Hat to The Twilight Zone to explain cultural trends in parenting and how we conceptualize childhood The 60s produced a Baby Boom generation that catalyzed the dawn of a new eraâ ”the space age, the age of television, the global age, and the beginnings of civil rights. At the same time, a new paradigm for parenting was unfolding that put emphasis on permissiveness, defined by what it permitted â “ the free and unfettered impulses of children. Others worried that the wildness of children, personified by the characters in Maurice Sendak s 1963 classic children s book, Where the Wild Things Are, was destructive, disruptive and disrespectful. Where the Wild Things Were centers on the exploding, contentious national conversation about the nature of childhood and parenting in the postwar US emblematized by Dr. Spock s Baby and Child Care. Renowned scholar Henry Jenkins demonstrates that the language that shaped a growing field of advice literature for parents also informed the period s fictionsâ ”in film, television, comics, children s books, and elsewhereâ ”produced for and consumed by children. In particular, Jenkins demonstrates, the era s emblematic child was the boy in the striped shirt: white, male, suburban, middle class, Christian, and above all, American. Weaving together intellectual histories and popular texts, Jenkins shows how boy protagonists became embodiments of permissive child rearing, as well as the social ideals and contradictions that permissiveness entailed. From Peanuts comic strips and TV specials to The Cat in the Hat, Dennis the Menace, and Jonny Quest, the book reveals how childhood and the stories about it became central to Cold War concerns with democracy, citizenship, globalization, the space race, science, race relations, gender, and sexuality. Written by a former boy in a striped shirt, Where the Wild Things Were explores iconic works, from Mary Poppins to Lost in Space, contextualizing them through a critical but respectful engagement with the core animating ideas of the permissive imagination.

The charming sequel to the runaway classic GnomesIn this republication of the charming sequel to Gnomes, Rien Poortvliet and Wil Huygen collaborate once again to recount their long, arduous journey through the forest at the request of the gnomes. The 200 hand-illustrated pages overflow with the authors’ on-the-scene sketches and firsthand observations. Poortvliet and Huygen are invited as more than mere observers though. After a meal of mushrooms and cream (which tastes as if it were made of “everything that light, air, sun, moon, and earth could produce”), they find that they have been turned into gnomes themselves! The authors take a penetrating look at their subjects: they learn of the tender emotional life of a gnome; they see and diagram the mechanics of ingenious gnome technology; they observe how gnomes administer justice in the wild; they are told how fairy tales first began (Little Red Riding Hood was actually a gnome!); and, best of all, they are allowed to see parts of the gnomes’ fabled Secret Book. Endowed with gnome characteristics such as exceptional vision and heightened senses of touch, smell, taste, and hearing—and decked in peaked gnome caps—Poortvliet and Huygen are led from Lapland across the Siberian wilderness by Nicolas, the gruff but kindly guide who teaches them the secrets of survival in the icy north. The three travel across varied modes of transportation—in a troika pulled by lemmings, on a fox’s back, and on the head of a moose. They are even carried by the abominable snowman! Lovers of gnomes will celebrate the arrival of this new volume and delight in the opportunity to know these elusive creatures better. Scores of enchanting illustrations by Poortvliet record the comings and goings of gnomes and the loving interaction with nature for which they are so famous.

It is a rollercoaster of an autobiography of Colin Maclachlan, known for his appearances on shows like Channel 4⠙s SAS: Who Dares Wins and Channel 5⠙s Secrets of the SAS. His autobiography starts with his troubled childhood and escape to the military where, as a fifteen year- old boy, he grows up and matures into the SAS soldier we now recognise. Early chapters describe physical, mental and sexual abuse and Colin could easily have ended up in a home but despite the odds and with the help of both the Children⠙s Panels, NSPCC and some diligent schoolteachers, Colin escaped to the army. Colin had to get special permission to join the army at only fifteen years of age and goes from being a young vulnerable and damaged boy to a capable soldier through preparation for the first Gulf War and joining the oldest and most senior infantry regiment in the British Army, The Royal Scots. From operations in Northern Ireland to being the Queen⠙s Butcher to Colin⠙s first TV cameos on Soldier Soldier and Gladiators, Colin⠙s stories and anecdotes are both exhilarating and hilarious. Colin then describes the arduous SAS selection process, the hardest and most gruelling military selection process in the world. Colin describes in some detail what most have never even heard in this secretive world where Colin goes from a course of what seemed hundreds down to only six percent in six months! The reader is then taken on a never seen before description of life as an SAS operator. Daily life in an operational squadron and the operations, missions and training involved all described in detail. Colin was part of Mountain Troop, D Squadron who were to be involved in some of the most high-profile and dangerous missions in SAS history.

Dětskou operu Brundibár napsali hudební skladatel Hans Krása a spisovatel Adolf Hoffmeister v roce 1938. V Praze se představení hrálo pouze dvakrát a navíc tajně, protože kulturní činnost byla už v té době Židům zakázaná. Operu se následně podařilo nazkoušet v Terezíně, kde se od roku 1943 do podzimu 1944 odehrálo asi 55 repríz. V roce 2003 vyšel Brundibár v převyprávění Tonyho Kushnera s ilustracemi oceňovaného tvůrce knih pro děti Maurice Sendaka, který byl právě na ni ze své tvorby nejvíc hrdý.

For a timeI rest in the grace of the world, and am free. The poems of Wendell Berry invite us to stop, to think, to see the world around us, and to savour what is good. Here are consoling verses of hope and of healing; short, simple meditations on love, death, friendship, memory and belonging; luminous hymns to the land, the cycles of nature and the seasons as they ebb and flow.
