Nice or Nasty: A Book of Opposites

From Publishers Weekly
This is a funny book about opposites with immediate appeal, one that makes the concept readily understandable. Readers will find a memorable roller-coaster ride between up and down; first and last finishings of a race that also evoke the joy of victory and the agony of defeat; offerings of hamburgers or escargots that muster up either appetite or the lack of; hard and soft candy; hot dogs and ice cream; outdoor activities for day and indoor activities for nighttime. The humor in the illustrations is recognizable instantly, and the process of comparing and contrasting one picture with another will stay with readers. Ages 3-8.

From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 2 The wry humor of this concept book of opposites makes it an appealing choice. Some pages may be slightly confusing (often both word choices are illustrated on the same page, and ``Quiet and loud,'' showing characters who look like Laurel and Hardy playing instruments, could also apply to the preceding page, ``Big and little''). However, children will delight in discovering the differences in the large, amusing watercolors on each page. The zany nice and nasty an elegant waiter holding one platter of hamburgers and one platter of snails, slugs, and wormswill surely tickle funny bones, and even those libraries not needing books on antonyms may consider purchasing this one for the humor shelves.

The Catcher In The Rye - J.D. Salinger

Since his debut in 1951 as The Catcher in the Rye, Holden Caulfield has been synonymous with "cynical adolescent." Holden narrates the story of a couple of days in his sixteen-year-old life, just after he's been expelled from prep school, in a slang that sounds edgy even today and keeps this novel on banned book lists. It begins,

"If you really want to hear about it, the first thing you'll probably want to know is where I was born and what my lousy childhood was like, and how my parents were occupied and all before they had me, and all that David Copperfield kind of crap, but I don't feel like going into it, if you want to know the truth. In the first place, that stuff bores me, and in the second place, my parents would have about two hemorrhages apiece if I told anything pretty personal about them."

His constant wry observations about what he encounters, from teachers to phonies (the two of course are not mutually exclusive) capture the essence of the eternal teenage experience of alienation. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

Book Description
Ever since it was first published in 1951, this novel has been the coming-of-age story against which all others are judged. Read and cherished by generations, the story of Holden Caulfield is truly one of America's literary treasures.

The Witch Cult in Western Europe

The mass of existing material on this subject is so great that I have not attempted to make a survey of the whole of European ' Witchcraft \ but have confined myself to an intensive study of the cult in Great Britain. In order, however, to obtain a clearer understanding of the ritual and beliefs I have had recourse to French and Flemish sources, as the cult appears to have been the same throughout Western Europe.

Introducing World Religions

Introducing World Religions offers an exciting new approach to the study of the world's religions. Taking its inspiration from performance studies and using an innovative dramatic metaphor, it enables students to explore religious ideas and culture in terms of the players (key figures), the script (foundational texts) and performance (religious practices). The discussion of key players treats human and non-human figures on the world stage, including the principle (God, Dharma, Dao), imaginal figures (angels, baals, bodhisattvas), exceptional persons (founders, prophets, gurus), and historical persons (significant players in the drama of religions). The discussion of the foundational texts includes materials that balance or challenge mainstream texts with an alternative perspective. The section on performance explores non-verbal religious activities such as pilgrimage, icon painting, dance, divination, and meditation.

Those concerned with introducing "post-colonial" discourse to students without losing the classic category of "the sacred" should find this textbook to be balanced and evocative. It presents workable concepts from the camps of both "religionists" and "reductionists" and students are challenged to move between "inside" and "outside" positions as they survey what have been called (controversially) "world religions".

Specially designed to assist learning it includes:

* chapter timelines showing key persons, events and dates
* themed boxes to encourage methodological enquiry
* key-point chapter summaries to support understanding and review
* study questions to assist classroom discussion
* maps, charts and photographs
* glossary of key terms and concepts
* key reading, a comprehensive bibliography and index

The God Beyond Belief

Why would a loving God who is all-powerful and all-knowing create a world like ours which is marred by all manner of evil, suffering and injustice? This question has come to be known as ‘the problem of evil’ and has troubled both ordinary folk and specialist philosophers and theologians for centuries, with no answer seemingly in sight. However, in a series of publications from the late 1970s onwards, Professor William Rowe – one of the leading philosophers of religion today – has put forward a powerful case in support of the view that the horrors littering our planet constitute strong evidence against the existence of God. In this book, the first extended study of Rowe’s defense of atheism on the basis of evil, Nick Trakakis comprehensively assesses the large body of literature that has developed in response to Rowe’s work, paying particular attention to two strategies employed by critics: firstly, the appeal to mystery – the idea that God may well have reasons for permitting evil that lie beyond our comprehension; and secondly, the appeal to theodicies, where this involves offering explanations as to why God allows evil to abound in his creation (free will theodicies, for example, argue that God could not prevent us from acting wrongly without at the same time curtailing or removing our free will). Trakakis unearths significant difficulties in both strategies, and concludes that – absent any evidence in support of theism – the God of theism must be judged to be "beyond belief".
