Nibbling Your Nails is a sunny, imaginative story that will make the little ones understand, in a fun way, the importance of developing good habits. Sara is an expert in nail-biting. She practices many times during the day: when she waters the plants, when she looks at the stars with her giant telescope, even when she’s in math class! Sometimes she puts so much effort into it that she bites her finger! However, no matter how much she hurts herself, Sara does not stop biting her nails. But she does it unwittingly! Sarah’s teeth and stomach don’t seem to like that habit. They would be much happier eating real food, like apples or peppers... at least they don’t scratch! One afternoon Grandma comes home with a great idea... She always arrives with a big laugh on her face, games, and endless conversations, but this time she brings her an unexpected gift. A gift that will make Sara use the clippers once and for all!

But asking God for help always brings us the strength to get through anything. Emme Muñiz shares her own daily prayers to offer families a way to embrace the peace and power of everyday faith.

The emergence of voluntary corporate codes of conduct since the early 1990s is both a manifestation of and a response to the process of globalization. They have been part of a more general shift away from state regulation of transnational corporations towards corporate self-regulation in the areas of labour and environmental standards and human rights. This work provides a critical perspective on the growth and significance of corporate codes with a particular focus on working conditions and labour rights. It brings together work by academics, practitioners and activists.

An Equal Place is a monumental study of the role of lawyers in the movement to challenge economic inequality in one of America's most unequal cities: Los Angeles. Breaking with the traditional focus on national civil rights history, the book turns to the stories of contemporary lawyers, on the front lines and behind the scenes, who use law to reshape the meaning of low-wage work in the local economy. Covering a transformative period of L.A. history, from the 1992 riots to the 2008 recession, Scott Cummings presents an unflinching account of five pivotal campaigns in which lawyers ally with local movements to challenge the abuses of garment sweatshops, the criminalization of day labor, the ge...
