THE COUNTRY CHILD is a semi-autobiographical story about a girl growing up in the country. Alison Uttley has drawn on her own youth to produce memories so vivid and nostalgic that you can almost smell the honeysuckle and hear the owls calling at dusk. She writes about the small intense joys and sorrows of life on a small farm: the fun of haymaking, the sadness of favourite animals being slaughtered, and the close sweetness of Christmas celebrations in the farmhouse kitchen. Also in A Puffin Book: A Traveller in Time by Alison Uttley
Are some of the world's most talented writers of children's books essentially children themselves? In this engaging series of essays, Pulitzer prize-winning author Alison Lurie considers this theory, exploring children's classics from many eras and relating them to the authors who wrote them, including Louisa May Alcott, creator of Little Women, and Salman Rushdie and his Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Dr Seuss and J. K. Rowling. In analysing these and many other authors, Alison Lurie shows how these gifted writers have used children's literature to transfigure sorrow, nostalgia and the struggles of their own experience.

Two favorite thrillers from #1 New York Times bestselling author Christopher Pike are now available in one bone-chilling collection. When Alison first got the chain letter signed “Your Caretaker,” she thought it was a sick joke. But then it became clear that someone, somewhere knows about that awful night when she and six friends committed an unthinkable crime. And now that person is determined to make them pay. One by the one, the chain letter comes to each of them, demanding dangerous, impossible deeds. No one wants to believe that this nightmare is really happening, but then the accidents start. And the deaths. Finding the truth behind the stalker’s identity seems to be the only option, but even that might not be enough. The Caretaker has a prodigy who is even more frightening than the first, and this time he wants more than retribution. He’s out for blood.
Boy built a wall to keep himself safe. Behind it he felt strong and more protected. Then Someone Kind came along. She bounced a ball, sang and painted on the other side of the wall, and Boy began to wonder if life on the other side might be better after all. Written for children aged 4 to 9, this gentle full-colour picture book uses a simple metaphor to explain how children who have had painful or traumatic experiences can build barriers between themselves and other people. It will help children explore their feelings and encourage communication.
No ano de 2021, uma iniciativa pioneira trouxe ao cenário acadêmico algumas das principais pesquisas desenvolvidas no território da Área de Proteção Ambiental de Macaé de Cima. Neste ano a unidade de conservação completava duas décadas de sua criação. Nossa homenagem se materializou com a publicação do livro 20 anos da Área de Proteção Ambiental de Macaé de Cima: Trajetórias e caminhos na pesquisa ambiental.

Este movimento, que teve início no ano anterior, não se restringia exclusivamente às investigações acerca dos aspectos físicos da paisage...
Em 2020, começou um esforço coletivo para reunir em uma obra a produção científica conhecida sobre a Área de Proteção Ambiental de Macaé de Cima, que viria a completar duas décadas de sua criação no ano seguinte. A proposta de aproximar pesquisadores, debater resultados e proporcionar conhecimento para a resolução dos problemas socioambientais cresceu mais que o inicialmente esperado e a obra precisou ser dividida em três volumes. Assim, após alguns anos e muito trabalho, chegamos aqui, no terceiro livro.É hora de analisar a gestão do território. Uma unidade de conservação de uso sustentável, com objetivos específicos e uma delimitação espacial, é um instrumento da ...
