The Pigs think they have found an easy way to steal some eggs, but sweet-looking Stella has a surprise for them.

Sharon M. Draper presents “storytelling at its finest” (School Library Journal, starred review) in this New York Times bestselling Depression-era novel about a young girl who must learn to be brave in the face of violent prejudice when the Ku Klux Klan reappears in her segregated southern town. Stella lives in the segregated South—in Bumblebee, North Carolina, to be exact about it. Some stores she can go into. Some stores she can’t. Some folks are right pleasant. Others are a lot less so. To Stella, it sort of evens out, and heck, the Klan hasn’t bothered them for years. But one late night, later than she should ever be up, much less wandering around outside, Stella and her little brother see something they’re never supposed to see, something that is the first flicker of change to come, unwelcome change by any stretch of the imagination. As Stella’s community—her world—is upended, she decides to fight fire with fire. And she learns that ashes don’t necessarily signify an end.

In this fully illustrated, easy-to-read Angry Birds story book, Stella and Bubbles go on an adventure to rescue Matilda’s jade egg from the Bad Piggies. In this entertaining adventure, Stella, the spunkiest of the Angry Birds flock, takes center stage. When the jade egg from Matilda’s powerful necklace goes missing, it’s up to Stella and Bubbles to rescue it from the Bad Piggies’ grasp! Red thinks the colorful duo is too young to handle the responsibility, but they are determined to prove him wrong. Disguised as pigs, they sneak into Pig City to retrieve the special egg. But soon the whole city is on high alert, and Stella and Bubbles must figure out a way to find the egg, steal it back, and escape the clutches of the pigs! Fun, colorful illustrations accompany this clever story about not letting grumpy naysayers like Red bring you down. Young readers will love this daring tale of bravery and wit!

In 2009 Rovio Entertainment wowed the world when it unleashed an unlikely phenomenon, 'Angry Birds'. This book goes behind the scenes to deliver in-depth insight into the remarkable artistry that goes into creating each game. It also features artwork and revealing interviews with the game's creators.

This book must not be ignored. It really is our final warning. Mark Lynas delivers a vital account of the future of our earth, and our civilisation, if current rates of global warming persist. And it’s only looking worse.

These essays on nine women artists are framed by the question, born of feminism, "What evaluative criteria can be applied to women's art?" Since the 1970s Rosalind Krauss has been exploring the art of painters, sculptors, and photographers, examining the intersection of these artists concerns with the major currents of postwar visual culture: the question of the commodity, the status of the subject, issues of representation and abstraction, and the viability of individual media. These essays on nine women artists are framed by the question, born of feminism, "What evaluative criteria can be applied to women's art?" In the case of surrealism, in particular, some have claimed that surrealist women artists must either redraw the lines of their practice or participate in the movement's misogyny. Krauss resists that claim, for these "bachelors" are artists whose expressive strategies challenge the very ideals of unity and mastery identified with masculinist aesthetics. Some of this work, such as the "part object" (Louise Bourgeois) or the "formless" (Cindy Sherman) could be said to find its power in strategies associated with such concepts as écriture feminine. In the work of Agnes Martin, Eva Hesse, or Sherrie Levine, one can make the case that the power of the work can be revealed only by recourse to another type of logic altogether. Bachelors attempts to do justice to these and other artists (Claude Cahun, Dora Maar, Louise Lawler, Francesca Woodman) in the terms their works demand.
