Can I Sit With You Too? is the second collection of stories from the Can I Sit With You? project. These new tales represent an even wider range of schoolyard experiences, including best friend disappointments, new kid fears, harsh discrimination, living with disabilities, and emerging sexuality. By sharing moments from kindergarten through high school, these stories once again remind us that we are not alone: chances are, if it happened to you, it happened to someone else, too. The Can I Sit With You? project has been featured on NPR, and in live shows and readings from Seattle's Annex Theatre to the San Francisco Bay Area's Book Passage. Proceeds from this book benefit SEPTAR, the Special Education PTA that Jennifer and Shannon helped found in 2007.

This handbook presents a series of essays that captures not the past of criminology, but where theoretical explanation is headed. The volume is replete with ideas, discussions of substantive topics with salient theoretical implications, and reviews of literatures that illuminate avenues along which theory and research evolve.
Il romanzo ufficiale di uno dei più grandi fenomeni di tutti i tempi. È estate nella piccola cittadina di Astoria. I Goonies – un gruppo di giovani ragazzi del quartiere Goon Docks – devono dare addio alle case dove sono nati e cresciuti: i signorini del club del golf hanno dato lo sfratto alle loro famiglie per radere al suolo il quartiere e costruire nuovi, esclusivi campi da gioco.

Se i Goonies riusciranno a mettere le mani sul bottino del vecchio corsaro potrebbero ancora salvare le loro case! Con una postfazione di Alessandro “DocManhattan” Apreda

When polio paralyzed Franklin Roosevelt at thirty-nine, people wept to think that the young man of golden promise must live out his days as a helpless invalid. He never again walked on his own. But in just over a decade, he had regained his strength and seized the presidency. This was the most remarkable comeback in the history of American politics.

Tobin's dramatic account of Roosevelt's ordeal and victory offers central insights into the forging of one of our greatest presidents"--
