She and her older brother are best friends. She is a bright and brave little girl, despite her weak constitution. The graphic novel focuses more on his (unnamed in the radio series) sister, Roberta. The Adventures of Superman radio show focused on a young boy from a Chinese American family, Tommy Lee, and what he went through because of the Clan of the Fiery Cross. As a white person, I think this subject matter is important to feel uncomfortable about. It was serious to the point where it was uncomfortable to read, but also very necessary. I was surprised to see that even though this novel is for young readers (ages 13+), the writing treated the complex topic of racism very seriously. There were also many heartwarming moments and character growth, especially with Superman. What I discovered was a gut-wrenching story that pulled at my heartstrings. All I knew before reading the book was that it was based on a radio show. I must admit that I had no idea what to expect from Superman Smashes the Klan. I was provided with an eARC of Superman Smashes the Klan from DC Entertainment. It may be one of the most meaningful and important graphic novels I have read. Like the radio show, this novel does not shy away from how reprehensible the Ku Klux Klan is. Image Provided by DC Entertainment Superman Smashes the Klan is a young adult graphic novel based on the “Clan of the Fiery Cross” story arc from 1940s radio show Adventures of Superman. “You are so eager to help your friends, but you treat yourself so poorly.

Titanic Survivor Hardcover Jby Violet Jessop (Author), John Maxtone-Graham (Editor) 76 ratings Hardcover 22.00 71 Used from 1.58 8 New from 16.80 4 Collectible from 13.95 Paperback from 33.91 1 New from 33.91 After a childhood in Argentina and formative years in England, Violet Jessop spent her entire career at sea. Category: Biography & Autobiography Britain/UK ISBN: 0646352776. Only two or three chapters are spent on the Titanic, so it really is mis-titled, but well worth the read for all her other experiences, adventures and perspectives. It seems unfortunate that she spent her life serving the wealthy on ocean-liners rather than as an author, as I expect she could have been one of those being served. Violet Jessop is an extra-ordinary writer and an engaging storyteller. This book is available and ready to be shipped. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting.

Twenty Years After" is a novel written by Alexandre Dumas and first published in 1845. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. A thought-provoking journey into emotion science.”-The Wall Street Journal “A singular book, remarkable for the freshness of its ideas and the boldness and clarity with which they are presented.”-Scientific American “A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin.”-Daniel Gilbert, best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Preeminent psychologist Lisa Barrett lays out how the brain constructs emotions in a way that could revolutionize psychology, health care, the legal system, and our understanding of the human mind. |
