Описание:
Professor Pippy P. Poopypants may be the greatest scientific genius the world has ever known. Unfortunately, he has such a silly name that nobody takes him seriously! He`s been laughed out of every major university in the world.
In fact, the only place that`ll hire him is Jerome Horwitz Elementary School. Hopefully, nobody at the school will laugh at his name (or make a comic book about him)....
...Because if just one more person makes fun of Poopypants, it might just drive him OFF THE DEEP END!
Needless to say, George and Harold poo-poo Poopypants`s pride -- practically pulverizing it to pieces -- and, hence, Poopypants is preparing to pounce!
Step up to witness a brief encounter of the cottony kind. This looks exactly like a job for The Amazing CAPTAIN UNDERPANTS!
Jorge y Berto no son malos chicos. Lo que pasa es que les gusta animar las cosas de vez en cuando. Asi, sin proponerselo, estan a punto de hacer que el profesor Pipicaca, un cientifico enloquecido y sin escrupulos que se encuentra a bordo de un robot gigantesco, se apodere del planeta entero. Quien desbaratara los perversos planes de Pipicaca? Un nuevo trabajo para el Capitan Calzoncillos!

Описание: Book Love: Twenty Essays on an Affair without End is about book love (or bibliophilia) and book lovers (or bibliophiles). It discusses the subject from multiple angles and perspectives. Why do some people (the author included) become bibliophiles? Why do they love, purchase, collect, and cherish books, write about them, and build, support and donate to libraries? Who are some of the worlds great book collectors, past and present. Where can you find the worlds most beautiful libraries, and the most famous or unusual booksellers? What have some of the book lovers or experts said about their book love and book acquiring experiences? Where and how can book lovers and professionals learn more about rare books? The text is accompanied by illustrations of the people, events and achievements relayed. It discusses what makes books old, rare and beautiful from the authors perspective and presents samples of each. And it closes with timely speculation about the future of the printed book, booksellers, and libraries in the digital age. Bibliophilia has sometimes been compared to a disease without cure. The essays between these covers help us appreciate why.
Описание: Uncovers the long history of how Latino manhood was integral to the formation of Latino identity
In the first ever book-length study of Latino manhood before the Civil Rights Movement, Before Chicano examines Mexican American print culture to explore how conceptions of citizenship and manhood developed in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. The year 1848 saw both the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo that ended the U.S. Mexican War and the year of the Seneca Falls Convention, the first organized conference on women's rights in the United States. These concurrent events signaled new ways of thinking about U.S. citizenship, and placing these historical moments into conversation with the archive of Mexican American print culture, Varon offers an expanded temporal frame for Mexican Americans as long-standing participants in U.S. national projects.
Pulling from a wide-variety of familiar and lesser-known works--from fiction and newspapers to government documents, images, and travelogues--Varon illustrates how Mexican Americans during this period envisioned themselves as U.S. citizens through cultural depictions of manhood. Before Chicano reveals how manhood offered a strategy to disparate Latino communities across the nation to imagine themselves as a cohesive whole--as Mexican Americans--and as political agents in the U.S. Though the Civil Rights Movement is typically recognized as the origin point for the study of Latino culture, Varon pushes us to consider an intellectual history that far predates the late twentieth century, one that is both national and transnational. He expands our framework for imagining Latinos' relationship to the U.S. and to a past that is often left behind.
Описание: El ap stol Pablo incluye una frase muy impresionante cuando define la meta del ministerio de la iglesia: hasta que todos lleguemos a...un var n perfecto, a la medida de la estatura de la plenitud de Cristo (Efesios 4:13). As dice la Reina Valera; una traducci n mejor puede ser "var n maduro," o, simplemente, "la madurez," para incluir la mujer tambi n. Pero el prop sito de Pablo era ayudar a los hermanos de esta iglesia alcanzar la madurez en su vida espiritual y su vida diaria. La triste realidad es que pocos de nosotros la hemos alcanzado. El autor lleva 40 a os en el ministerio, 21 de ellos ministrando como capell n en el sistema federal de prisiones en los Estados Unidos y Puerto Rico. Actualmente l vive en Costa Rica, donde tiene un ministerio internacional como padre espiritual, y una p gina en el internet, UnPadreEspiritual.com. De esa rica experiencia con miles de hombres, l escribe con el coraz n de un pastor y padre. Este libro no es un comentario, sino un estudio comprensivo de la iglesia en feso, con el mismo prop sito pr ctico que ten a Pablo cuando escribi a esta iglesia amada. Comienza con el historial de la iglesia en el libro de Hechos, y termina con la triste advertencia de Apocalipsis a esta iglesia que hab a dejado su primer amor. En los primeros tres cap tulos de Efesios vas a ver como nunca antes las riquezas de lo que Cristo ha hecho para nosotros, y su prop sito para la iglesia. Lo que este libro desarrolla para la primera vez es la clara progresi n hacia la madurez en los cap tulos 4 a 6; los cuatro pasos al var n perfecto: 1. El fundamento de toda la vida cristiana: participar en una iglesia sana conforme al plan de Dios. 2. Caminar en victoria sobre pecado, en el poder del Esp ritu Santo. 3. Ordenar el matrimonio, familia, y trabajo conforme a la voluntad de Dios. 4. Triunfar en la guerra espiritual contra el diablo. Para un matrimonio feliz, por ejemplo, es necesario tener el fundamento de los primero dos pasos. A diferencia de muchos libros para los hombres, este libro es basado completamente en la Palabra de Dios. Es la clara voluntad de Dios, y todo su poder est a tu disposici n para ayudarte ponerla en pr ctica.

Описание: Mozart (1759-1791), in whose shadow Mr. Varon is shown above, was (together with Bach and Beethoven) one of the fathers of classical music.

Описание:
For the past eight years Chicago television Traffic Anchor Roz Varon has been recording her travels in words and images. This book is designed to be a keepsake for those readers who enjoy vicarious adventures, and for those who seek ideas for their own trips across the U.S. and in foreign lands. Written with honesty, enthusiasm, and a grateful sense of wonder, Roz and her family enlighten her audience with little known facts, humorous anecdotes, and heartwarming insights into her personal life. We are Roz's awestruck travel companions at the inauguration of President Barack Obama, students of history while roaming the Jewish Deep South, and gleeful visitors to Walt Disney World - which our author considers "The Happiest Place on Earth."
As we venture to other continents, we move through sacred places in Israel, joyous sites in Ireland, and legendary landmarks in the southern United Kingdom.
Perhaps the most fun we have with Roz and her family is the traveling the famous Route 66, a treasured Americana road trip that will surely have readers packing their maps and bags.
While all appears sunny and careful in these pages, we also learn that Roz Varon is a more than 10-year Metastatic Breast Cancer Survivor. This medical facts adds poignancy, courage, and inspiration for all those whose lives have been touched by the illness.
