Lititz
Lititz may be just a speck on the map, but its historical impact is a match for any of the nation's biggest cities. Shaped by history, today Lititz sparkles as the village jewel of Lancaster County. Set against the breathtaking beauty of the surrounding countryside, this little town offers a thriving downtown, slow-paced atmosphere, and abundant recreational areas and cultural events. Lititz is the proud home of Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery, the nation's oldest pretzel bakery; Linden Hall, the oldest girls' boarding school in the United States; and the oldest continuous celebration of the Fourth of July. The vintage photographs in Lititz present a rare insider's view of a town of historical firsts in America, and they show why visitors always leave Lititz with the feeling of nostalgia for the hometown of their childhood.

Learning Together with Young Children
Many curriculum books treat teaching as something teachers do to or for children. Deb Curtis and Margie Carter, best-selling authors in the early learning field, believe teaching is a collaborative process in which teachers reexamine their own philosophies and practices while facilitating children’s learning. Each chapter in this curriculum framework includes a conceptual overview followed by classroom stories and photographs to illustrate the concepts. The book helps teachers create materials and a classroom culture reflective of their values: Teach through observation, reflection, inquiry, and action, and encourage children to represent their learning in multiple ways, including songs, stories, and drama.

Reflecting Children’s Lives is your work in progress—use it to record the development of your own thinking and practice.
The Zhivago Affair
The story of a forbidden book that became a symbol of freedom and rebellion in the battle between East and West. 1956. Boris Pasternak presses a manuscript into the hands of an Italian publishing scout with these words: ‘This is Doctor Zhivago. May it make its way around the world.’ Pasternak knew his novel would never be published in the Soviet Union as the authorities regarded it as seditious, so, instead, he allowed it to be published in translation all over the world - a highly dangerous act. 1958. The life of this extraordinary book enters the realms of the spy novel. The CIA, recognising that the Cold War was primarily an ideological battle, published Doctor Zhivago in Russian and smuggled it into the Soviet Union. It was immediately snapped up on the black market. Pasternak was later forced to renounce the Nobel Prize in Literature, igniting worldwide political scandal. With first access to previously classified CIA files, The Zhivago Affair gives an irresistible portrait of Pasternak, and takes us deep into the Cold War, back to a time when literature had the power to shake the world.

Prečo má mama všetko v...
Mama sníva o osobitej vidieckej chalúpke s dverami obrastenými ružami a so zhovorčivými sliepkami v záhrade. No život – ako vždy – neubieha podľa jej predstáv. Sliepky Paxo, Oxo a Bisto sú veľmi nepríjemné, ani zamak zhovorčivé, a ruže majú ostré tŕne. A aby toho nebolo málo, zo vzácnych zlatíčok sú teraz desiví tínedžeri. Celé dni a noci trávia na snapchate, bezcieľne sa pofľakujú po neveľkej chalupe a komunikujú výhrade vrčaním – teda až na prípady, keď práve od mamy nepožadujú taxikárske služby v skorých ranných hodinách alebo nestrúhajú prehnané pózy a grimasy do svojich príbehov na instagrame. V dome stále chýba mlieko a nenásytný Peter v momente zhltne každé jedlo, ktoré sa ocitne v jeho zornom poli. Podarí sa mamičke nájsť si aspoň chvíľu pre seba a užiť si ju? Obzvlášť teraz, keď sa presťahovala od manžela a na všetky problémy ostala sama? A nájde konečne spôsob, ako mať všetko v ****?
