Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A searing account of gang violence and its consequences...Macedo's grim story, expertly documented by Katz, cries for a documentary series to follow his fortunes as, after years in prison, he strives for redemption. A masterful work of true crime—and, to be sure, true punishment."—Kirkus Reviews (Starred review) Baby-faced teen Giovanni Macedo is desperate to find belonging in one of LA’s most predatory gangs, the Columbia Lil Cycos—so desperate that he agrees to kill an undocumented Mexican street vendor. The vendor, Francisco Clemente, had been refusing to give in to the gang’s shakedown demands. But Giovanni botches the hit, accidentally killing a newborn instead. The overlords who rule the Lil Cycos from a Supermax prison 1,000 miles away must be placated and Giovanni is lured across the border where, in turn, the gang botches his killing. And so, incredibly, Giovanni rises from the dead, determined to both seek redemption for his unforgivable crime and take down the gang who drove him to do it. With The Rent Collectors, Jesse Katz has built a teeth clenching and breathless narrative that explicates the difficult and proud lives of undocumented black market workers who are being extorted by the gangs and fined by the city of LA—in other words, exploited by two sets of rent collectors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Powerful Ring-Witches, Mayra and Wolfe have fled their kingdom with the dragons they rescued, accompanied by their witch-warrior friends. But once they reach the dragon’s icy homeland, they find an empty Aerie. Where are the female dragons and their younglings? Barely do the witches have time to rest before they are winging their way to rescue the stolen dragons. But the dragons are keeping a secret from Mayra and Wolfe, and the witches quickly find themselves trapped in a vast system of caverns with Hagan, an evil, fanatical dragon. Having found a powerful talisman so horrifying that Mayra can scarcely believe it, Hagan knows he has the upper claw, and Mayra is running out of time. The female dragons and their tiny offspring will be killed unless Mayra permits Hagan to collect his terrible treasure from its hiding place. But if she doesn’t wrest the talisman from Hagan before he can use it, he will take control of all the dragons. Can Mayra and Wolfe rescue the dragons—large and small—and find the talisman before all that the mighty dragons hold dearest to them is destroyed? Mayra and Wolfe once battled with dragons at their sides and easily won against humans. But they know the tides have turned; Hagan is a wielder of dark dragon magic. And he dares the humans to battle him—the most savagely horrific dragon ever hatched—a dragon that even other dragons fear.

Book excerpt: The dramatic story of how an American housewife discovered that the Guatemalan child she was about to adopt had been stolen from her birth mother Over the last decade, nearly 200,000 children have been adopted into the United States, 25,000 of whom came from Guatemala. Finding Fernanda, a dramatic true story paired with investigative reporting, tells the side-by-side tales of an American woman who adopted a two-year-old girl from Guatemala and the birth mother whose two children were stolen from her. Each woman gradually comes to realize her role in what was one of Guatemala’s most profitable black-market industries: the buying and selling of children for international adoption. Finding Fernanda is an overdue, unprecedented look at adoption corruption—and a poignant, riveting human story about the power of hope, faith, and determination.

This book was released on 2016-07-22 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By now it’s a given: if we’re to help our ELLs and SELs access the rigorous demands of today’s content standards, we must cultivate the “code” that drives school success: academic language. Look no further for assistance than this much-anticipated series from Ivannia Soto, in which she invites field authorities Jeff Zwiers, David and Yvonne Freeman, Margarita Calderon, and Noma LeMoine to share every teacher’s need-to-know strategies on the four essential components of academic language. The subject of this volume is conversational discourse. Here, Jeff Zwiers reveals the power of academic conversation in helping students develop language, clarify concepts, comprehend complex texts, and fortify thinking and relational skills. With this book as your roadmap, you’ll learn how to: Foster the skills and language students must develop for productive interactions Implement strategies for scaffolding paired conversations Assess student’s oral language development as you go It’s imperative that our ELLs and SELs practice academic language in rich conversations with others in school, especially when our classrooms may be their only opportunities to receive modeling, scaffolding, and feedback focused on effective discourse. This book, in concert with the other three volumes in the series, can provide both a foundation and a framework for accelerating the learning of diverse students across grade levels and disciplines.

Download or read book Children Living in Transition written by Cheryl Zlotnick and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-21 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharing the daily struggles of children and families residing in transitional situations (homelessness or because of risk of homelessness, being connected with the child welfare system, or being new immigrants in temporary housing), this text recommends strategies for delivering mental health and intensive case-management services that maintain family integrity and stability. Based on work undertaken at the Center for the Vulnerable Child in Oakland, California, which has provided mental health and intensive case management to children and families living in transition for more than two decades, this volume outlines culturally sensitive practices to engage families that feel disrespected by the assistance of helping professionals or betrayed by their forgotten promises. Chapters discuss the Center's staffers' attempt to trace the influence of power, privilege, and beliefs on their education and their approach to treatment. Many U.S. children living in impoverished transitional situations are of color and come from generations of poverty, and the professionals they encounter are white, middle-class, and college-educated. The Center's work to identify the influences or obstacles interfering with services for this target population is therefore critical to formulating more effective treatment, interaction, and care.

Download or read book Reciprocals and Semantic Typology written by Nicholas Evans and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08-18 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reciprocals are an increasingly hot topic in linguistic research. This reflects the intersection of several factors: the semantic and syntactic complexity of reciprocal constructions, their centrality to some key points of linguistic theorizing (such as Binding Conditions on anaphors within Government and Binding Theory), and the centrality of reciprocity to theories of social structure, human evolution and social cognition. No existing work, however, tackles the question of exactly what reciprocal constructions mean cross-linguistically. Is there a single, Platonic ‘reciprocal’ meaning found in all languages, or is there a cluster of related concepts which are nonetheless impossible to characterize in any single way? That is the central goal of this volume, and it develops and explains new techniques for tackling this question. At the same time, it confronts a more general problem facing semantic typology: how to investigate a category cross-linguistically without pre-loading the definition of the phenomenon on the basis of what is found in more familiar languages.

Download or read book Children's Play, Pretense, and Story written by Susan Douglas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-12-21 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the heart of this volume is the recognition that children’s engagement with play and story are intrinsically and intricately linked. The contributing authors share a passionate interest in the development and well-being of children, in particular through their use of imagination and adaptation of the everyday into play and stories. Following these principles, the volume explores the connections between play, story, and pretense with regard to many cultural and contextual factors that influence the way these elements vary in children’s lives. In a departure from earlier collections on play and story, the authors take a particular focus on normative as compared with atypical development. This collection begins with an approach to understanding the developmental relationship between play and story, which recognizes their similarities while acknowledging their differences. Much of the collection addresses pretend play and story in children with autism spectrum disorder, an understudied but important group for consideration, as these dimensions of their lives and development have often been considered problematic. The volume also includes sections on play and story in classroom settings and play and story across cultures, including non-English-speaking environments such as Israel, Romania, China, and Mexico. It concludes with a discussion of how play differs across sociocultural and economic contexts, making a unifying claim for the importance of play in children’s lives but also calling for an understanding of what play means to very different groups of children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buckle up for a wild ride through multiple steampunk universes in Steam & Sail, where young heroines navigate treacherous skies of romance and intrigue in three unique series starters. In The Barefoot Barmaid (Book One in the Belles & Bullets series), Kitt Lake is kidnapped by a swashbuckling sky pirate who mistakes her for royalty. Her life is changed by the pirate's greed... and his inconvenient desire for her. Princess Mayra thought she knew the meaning of suffering in Caged Princess (Book One in Whispers of Steam), but nothing could have prepared her for the betrayals and secrets that hide in her path. Will she find a way to break free and reclaim her throne, or will she be forever trapped in a world of steam and shadow? Prepare for a mix of romance and rebellion in An Elven Debutante (Book One in Airships & Dragons), where Stelia, a quiet young noblewoman, defies convention and risks everything to protect a forbidden love. When her act of defiance sparks a chain reaction of danger and intrigue, she must rely on wit and courage to survive.

Book excerpt: Eleven teenagers. Eight planets. Seven Keys. One wronged queen. When Annabelle Garcia and her friends find themselves mysteriously on another planet, they learn that they may only return to Earth after retrieving seven magical Keys for queen Mayra of Eden, who has been stripped of her crown and accused of murdering her husband. With reluctance, Anna and her friends accept Mayra’s offer, but the secrets being kept threaten to tear them apart. An impossible mission, the odds are stacked against them in every way. If they aren’t careful, our heroes and heroines will be pushed to the limits of the psyche, become enemies of nature, and if they’re caught by anyone, they face a high possibility of execution. Danger lurks around every corner in the form of nightmares and monsters too vile for the worst of humans to endure. But with their combined skill and wit, and a little bit of luck, the crew just might be able to succeed and return home. A highly imaginative novel that pushes the boundaries of fantasy, this is a tale that can only be described as epic.

Download or read book The Gothic Girl written by Xavier P. and published by Palibrio. This book was released on 2014-04-11 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mayra is a different gothic girl who returns to her country trying to elude with it the ghost of her best friend who torments her. The point is that comes to a place that despite being a city, most of its inhabitants are dressed in denim clothing. The novel is inspired by the life of a real girl who belonged to such style and is narrated differently like some facts occurred, and others that probably would have passed, if there was existed will. I think the details that are told not differ much from the behavior of people or their imaginations. Although I know that this behavior of fantasy and poetry is not exclusive to them, I think most of them manifest more sensitivity to the things that surround them. I would like that to better understand the novel; reference is made to the details mentioned at the time they are indicated. This English version has been improved in its wording and added some changes in content. Thank you for your attention and I hope you enjoy it.
