Jovens ao volante
A partir do convívio diário com jovens universitários por mais de três décadas, Sonia Chébel percebeu o fascínio que automóveis e motos exercem sobre esse grupo, sobretudo levando em consideração o quanto foram se tornando símbolos de status e ascensão social ao longo do tempo. Na mesma medida, também observou o crescente número de jovens em licença médica prolongada, em decorrência de acidentes de trânsito. Por considerar que esse problema é parcialmente prevenível, a autora se debruça sobre o comportamento desses jovens a partir do conflito existente entre o respeito às normas e as transgressões a elas, utilizando a entrevista reflexiva realizada de maneira coletiva, porque toda entrevista tem um caráter de intervenção. A obra também apresenta pesquisas na área de psicologia no trânsito, nas perspectivas comportamental e sistêmica (homeostase de risco), e traz uma proposta de educação para o trânsito como desenvolvimento de consciência.

Nasreddine
It's time to go to market, so Nasreddine loads up the donkey and sets off with his father. But when onlookers criticize his father for riding while Nasreddine walks, the boy is ashamed. The following week, Nasreddine persuades his father to walk, and let him ride — but then people criticize the boy for making his father walk! No matter what Nasreddine tries, it seems that someone always finds something to disapprove of. Nasreddine is a legendary character popular in stories told throughout the Middle East, and this clever story will bring him to a new audience. Accompanied by stunning artwork, this tale offers a gentle reminder to readers that it isn't always necessary to listen to the world's criticisms.
Civilization
"From the beginning of human history, the one thing that has defined us is our talent for making things, from basic technology and everyday objects, such as bowls and hand axes, to high-tech inventions, such as supersonic aircraft, smart devices, and Mars rovers. Objects speak volumes about a civilization, telling us how our ancestors lived - as well as what they believed in and valued. A bronze cat mummy shows us how highly the ancient Egyptians valued their feline companions, while a mechanical tiger toy tells the story of rising tensions between an Indian sultan and European colonisers. With stunning, specially commissioned photography, Civilization shows you the objects that our ancestors treasured - from the jewellery worn by the Mesopotamians to the prized ritual vessels used by the people of the Shang dynasty - and gives you an insight into what gave each culture its own identity. From astrolabes and aeroplanes to vacuum cleaners and X-rays, DK uses its hallmark visual style to weave the extraordinary legacy of our creativity into a unique view of world history that will change the way you see the objects all around us."--Publisher.
