Gender Violence in Twenty-first-century Latin American Women's Writing
How do contemporary female authors in Latin America tackle gender violence in their writings? This book analyses the portrayal of violence against women in the works of ten contemporary Latin American female authors: Alejandra Jaramillo Morales, Laura Restrepo, Ena Lucia Portela, Wendy Guerra, Selva Almada, Claudia Pineiro, Diamela Eltit, Carla Guelfenbein, Lydia Cacho and Fernanda Melchor. Governments in Latin America have routinely failed to protect women from abuse, threats, censorship, repressive policies on reproduction rights, forced displacement, sex trafficking, disappearances and femicides, and this book beats a new path through these burning issues by drawing on the knowledges enca...
My Little Cities
In this delightful series written by BabyLit author Jennifer Adams and illustrated by kidlit darling Greg Pizzoli, each book showcases a different city with sweet baby-appropriate text, ridiculously charming illustrations, and a light introduction to rhyme and opposites. High-chair travelers can explore the City by the Bay: cruise along the majestic Golden Gate Bridge, play with the sea lions at Pier 39, ride cable cars up steep hills, and have a picnic in lovely San Francisco.
Deer Island In Autumn
“Deer Island is a real place! Though fictionalized, the characters portray life in the lower Atchafalaya Basin (specific to Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana) and its tributaries from 1840 – 1921.” “The Addison family legacy is expressed in the meticulously kept diaries of three generations of the family’s matriarchs.” “Each of the two volumes can stand on its own merits, but the story invites the reader to experience both.” “Deer Island is a place where the fabric of life is tightly woven; mutual interests are cultivated. Each shared expression of some heartfelt emotion, each account of some uncommon event, each expounded detail of some ideal or conviction, each celebration of life and living communicated unashamedly and in a forthright manner, produces a colored fiber. The hues of these threads may be brilliant and appealing, or they may be dim and dismal, but each is applied to the pattern of the weave for all to witness.”

Continuum: Time Rep

Now comes a sequel with even more excitement! Even more romance! Even more danger! And maybe some better jokes! Imagine you just saved the world from an alien invasion. If it wasn’t for you, everyone would be dead. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it? That’s exactly what happens to Geoffrey Stamp, but there’s just one problem—he can’t tell anyone. You see, Geoffrey is a Time Rep—a tour guide for the 21st Century, meeting people from the future who travel back in time for their vacation. Everything he does needs to be kept a secre...
