![]() Gibbs never scrimps on creating belly-laughing hullabaloo for his white protagonists. They begin to work together, making some headway into narrowing down the suspects (which include the mythical chupacabra) of this monkey-wrenching whodunit. When a villain dressed as a panda throws Teddy into the freezing-cold water of the polar-bear exhibit, Teddy and Marge forge a new dimension to their relationship. No such luck, because his bungling park-security nemesis, Marge, blackmails him into investigating the official investigation. Having learned from past mistakes and at the behest of the FBI, Teddy tries to avoid getting involved. However, when the guarded truck reaches FunJungle, Li Ping is gone, replaced by a ransom note. ![]() ![]() Middle schooler Teddy, his girlfriend, Summer, and hundreds of panda fanatics anticipate the arrival of a rare panda from China named Li Ping. ![]() In this fourth roller coaster of an endangered-species mystery, Teddy is still living at the giant zoo/amusement park called FunJungle, and he’s still smack dab in the epicenter of the brouhaha. ![]() ![]() I still don't understand his motivations for wanting Robyn dead-especially in such a public way. The worst part was Kyon-he was more plot device than character, which is unusual for McConnell. The timeline was hard to follow because it felt like it took place in a week when the story and dialogue were telling me it was actually three weeks. There were some missing letters and extra words-enough to be noticable, but not enough to ruin the story. ![]() ![]() The jarring notes of the book came from editing, timing, and the antagonist Kyon. I liked seeing Robyn finally comfortable in her place, but wouldn't have minded seeing a little more of her struggle over losing the position of Santa she'd been groomed for. The characters are endearing and it's so much fun to read the dialogue between Robyn and Gabe. His bother Nick is troubled and worried about finding a true home. ![]() Gabe is too busy parenting his brother to make time for love or Christmas, but is drawn to Robyn regardless. Unfortunately, she'd more attracted to the studio security guard than to any of the contestants they've selected for her. It's finally time for the eldest Kringle to find her true love-on a television game show. Not her best Kringle book, but very enjoyable ![]() ![]() ![]() The early part of the twentieth century saw a series of books published, many of them written by Marxist theorists, on the nature of imperialism and its impact on other societies. It is therefore timely, after half a century, to reassess Rodney’s text and to locate its place within Africa’s economic historiography. Time has not diminished the ideas propounded in the book nor the power of the argument. The gulf of inequality between Africa and the West has widened, while poverty in Africa is worse today than it was fifty years ago. Many of the issues that Rodney raised and addressed in his book are still with us. Far from being a mere historical document, the book is of contemporary relevance. ![]() Many contemporary Africanist scholars, particularly those working in developmental studies, African politics and culture are treading the same grounds that Rodney trod half a century ago. Not only was the book ground-breaking in the area of African studies, it became required reading not only in universities across Africa but also in secondary schools. Walter Rodney published How Europe Underdeveloped Africa in 1972, to wide acclaim. ![]() ![]() ![]() Romancing the Folk: Public Memory & American Roots Music by Benjamin Filene ![]() ![]() EpsteinĪfrican Banjo Echoes in Appalachia by Cecelia Conway Sinful Tunes and Spirituals: Black Folk Music to the Civil War by Dena J.

RESOURCE LIST: HISTORY OF AMERICAN FOLKWAYS We invite you to join in the learning and growth. Part of loving something is seeing it for what it has been and is, and we believe it’s critical to examine the ways folk dance and music have been used as oppressive tools in order to genuinely practice these folk arts in new, transformative ways that enable social justice. We’re continually asking ourselves these questions, and doing a lot of reading to better understand the true history of the folkways we practice. What is the hidden history of American Folkways? Why was it hidden? ![]() ![]() ![]() His works demonstrate insight, profundity, and sensitivity that he seems to have gained after tapping into his spiritual side. The Alchemist, Brida, The Zahir are but a few examples. On the verge of turning 40, his life changed for the better, when he took a religious pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and found his calling of becoming a writer.Įver since Paulo Coelho has written several masterpieces on the themes of philosophy and spirituality. A decade later, in his twenties, he dropped out of law school, became a hippie, and wandered about in South America, Mexico and Europe. As a teenager, his parents committed him to a psychiatric hospital for his rebellious attitude. Paulo Coelho’s life is an extraordinary story in itself, worthy of being penned down as a full-fledged novel. ![]() ![]() ![]() But he'll learn his greatest lessons at the hands of his own family, the Endless, who-like him-are walking embodiments of the most influential aspects of existence. His journey to find his place in a world that's drastically changed takes him through mythical worlds to retrieve his old heirlooms, the back roads of America for a twisted reunion, and even Hell itself-to receive the dubious honor of picking the next Devil. Upon his escape from an embarrassing captivity at the hands of a mere mortal, Morpheus finds himself at a crossroads, forced to deal with the enormous changes within both himself and his realm. Regardless of cultures or historical eras, all dreamers visit Morpheus' realm-be they gods, demons, muses, mythical creatures, or simply humans who teach Morpheus some surprising lessons. The Sandman is the universally lauded masterwork following Morpheus, Lord of the Dreaming-a vast hallucinatory landscape housing all the dreams of any and everyone who's ever existed. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() "Poddy" gets to travel the solar system with her smaller brother Clarke and her old uncle Tom - they get into all kinds of trouble and adventure. Podkayne of Mars is a juvenile or "young adult" story about a 16 year old mars girl (she's not a martian - there's a race of native martians that's called martians - therefore humans on mars is not called martians). I've always had strange feelings about Heinlein - I love most of his stories, but almost all of them leave me with a strange taste in my mouth, maybe it's because I agree with a lot of the opinions that are to be found in his stories, but at the same time I hate some of them (his ideas about women and children for example). One that I for some strange reason hadn't read before. One of the good old stories from the golden age of SF. Podkayne of Mars is a science fiction novel by the legendary author Robert A Heinlein. ![]() ![]() ![]() His wit and unapologetic idealism disarm and spark renewed life into her-until she discovers that he’s completely unavailable.

The once cancer-stricken mother lives in the basement, the father is married to the mother’s former nurse, the little half-brother isn’t allowed to do or eat anything fun, and the eldest siblings are irritatingly perfect.
