The Other Side: Stories of Central American Teen R...
The Other Side: Stories of Central American Teen Refugees Who Dream of Crossing the Border Award-winning Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos explores illegal immigration with this emotionally raw and timely nonfiction book about ten Central American teens and their journeys to the United States. You can t really tell what time it is when you re in the freezer. Every year thousands of migrant children and teens cross the U.S.-Mexico border. The journey is treacherous and sometimes deadly but worth the risk for migrants who are escaping gang violence and poverty in their home countries. And for those refugees who do succeed? They face an immigration process that is as winding and multi-tiered as the journey that brought them here. In this book award-winning Mexican author Juan Pablo Villalobos strings together the diverse experiences of eleven real migrant teenagers offering readers a beginning road map to issues facing the region. These timely accounts of courage sacrifice and survival - including two fourteen-year-old girls forming a tenuous friendship as they wait in a frigid holding cell a boy in Chicago beginning to craft his future while piecing together his past in El Salvador and cousins learning to lift each other up through angry waters - offer a rare and invaluable window into the U.S.–Central American refugee crisis. In turns optimistic and heartbreaking The Other Side balances the boundless hope at the center of immigration with the weight of its risks and repercussions. Here is a necessary read for young people on both sides of the issue.

Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of ...
At sixteen Kenn Kaufman dropped out of the high school where he was student council president and hit the road hitching back and forth across America from Alaska to Florida Maine to Mexico. Maybe not all that unusual a thing to do in the seventies but what Kenn was searching for was a little different: not sex drugs God or even self but birds. A report of a rare bird would send him hitching nonstop from Pacific to Atlantic and back again. When he was broke he would pick fruit or do odd jobs to earn the fifty dollars or so that would last him for weeks. His goal was to set a record - most North American species seen in a year - but along the way he began to realize that at this breakneck pace he was only looking not seeing. What had been a game became a quest for a deeper understanding of the natural world. Kingbird Highway is a unique coming-of-age story combining a lyrical celebration of nature with wild and sometimes dangerous adventures starring a colorful cast of characters.

The Forms of Renaissance Thought: New Essays in Li...
The boundaries separating Literary Studies from other kinds of humanistic inquiry are more permeable now than at any moment since the Enlightenment when disciplinary categories began to acquire their modern definition. The Forms of Renaissance Thought celebrates scholarship at a number of these frontiers. The contributors address works of the European Renaissance as they relate both to the textured world of their origins and to a modern scholarly culture that turns to the early moderns for methodological provocation and renewal. In this way the volume charts the most important developments in the field since the turn towards cultural and ideological features of the Renaissance imagination.

Modern Marketing Communications (Paperback)
Marketing communications is a subject which has become popular in both marketing and public relations circles but sometimes with different parameters. There are those who prefer to confine marketing communications to promotional activities which is mostly an academic point of view and there are those who see the subject in broader terms embracing every form of communication used in marketing which is how the subject is practised in the business world. While the author has long experience as a teacher and examiner he also continues to be a professional practitioner. Consequently the book aims to serve those concerned with both the academic and the professional in terpreta tions of marketing comm unica tions. I t is of course hoped that those who adopt the academic approach to the subject will eventually acknowledge that there is more to marketing communi- cations than advertising sales promotion selling marketing research and public relations. It is also necessary to realise that public relations embraces much more than the publicity in the 4Ps promotion box. Without wishing to be contentious this broad approach is proposed so that communications of all kinds throughout the marketing strategy can have maximum effect. Very little has been published on this subject and the book is therefore a pioneer attempt to establish the practical parameters of modern marketing communications. There are so many broad and narrow interpretations of marketing communications but it is hoped that this book will be useful to teachers students and practitioners of the subject.
