A riveting new biography of America's greatest all-around athlete by the bestselling author of the classic biography When Pride Still Mattered.Jim Thorpe rose to world fame as a mythic talent who excelled at every sport. He won gold medals in the decathlon and pentathlon at the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, was an All-American football player at the Carlisle Indian School, the star of the first class of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, and played major league baseball for John McGraw's New York Giants. Even in a golden age of sports celebrities, he was one of a kind. But despite his colossal skills, Thorpe's life was a struggle against the odds. As a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, he encountered duplicitous authorities who turned away from him when their reputations were at risk. At Carlisle, he dealt with the racist assimilationist philosophy ';Kill the Indian, Save the Man.' His gold medals were unfairly rescinded because he had played minor league baseball. His later life was troubled b

Before they can figure up from down, strange, impossible things start happening: snowstorms form inside the B terminal; jungles sprout up in the C terminal; and earthquakes split the ground apart in between. And no matter how hard they try, it seems no one can find a way in or out of the airport. James and Michelle team up to

Academic attention has focused on America's influence on European stage works, and yet dozens of operettas from Austria and Germany were produced on Broadway and in the West End, and their impact on the musical life of the early twentieth century is undeniable. In this ground breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period - from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media - and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

This is the story of how I became Anne of Greenville. It’s also the story of how I found my true true, and how I needed to maybe come to Greenville, of all places, to make that happen.In this modern reimagining of Anne of Green Gables, Anne is an ABBA-loving singer/actor/writer of disco-operas, queer, Japanese-American who longs to be understood for her artistic genius. Recently relocated to middle-of-nowhere Greenville and starting at a new school, Anne has a tendency to A) fall in love quickly, deeply, and effervescently and B) fly off the handle in the face of jerks. Both personality quirks quickly come into play when the soccer team boos the premiere of her disco performance, which—in a roundabout way—introduces her to her new BFF, Berry, and she soon after meets the girl of her dreams, Gilly.Falling quickly into that age-old trap of ignoring the best friend for the new crush, Anne soon becomes embroiled in a series of dramatic and unfortunate events, and quickly finds herself wrap

A deep journaling tool for becoming less reactive, and more responsive and open to loveIn her highly anticipated new book, How to Be Loving, Danielle LaPorte teaches that “resiliency is our capacity to respond from the heart―it has everything to do with love and inclusiveness, and nothing to do with getting tougher. Resilience is a foil to the ego’s way of dividing everything into ‘right or wrong.’”This journal is a resilience tool.Yearly vision quests are great, but regular reflection keeps us close to our life force―and to each other. And the more often we reflect on what’s meaningful in our life, the more light we will find to steer by. Every passage in this journal feels like a portal to your inner knowing.Reflection prompts take the individual on a journey from seeing themselves as “separate” to recognizing that we’re each part of the Divine Plan. The experience is punctuated by micro teachings on the virtues of Loving Kindness, Compassion, Forgiving, Wisdom, and Radiance.How to B

He must not only produce a work of art in his own language but also devise means of giving his Chinese version a specifically Chinese touch....At first b

When a ghost ship is discovered, its crew presumed dead after trying to reach the storm-shrouded island Akinah, Navani Kholin must send an expedition to make sure the island hasn't fallen into enemy hands.

The literary arts represent and provoke experiences of understanding and emotion, and this open access study examines how the practical pursuit of well-being in healthcare reveals purposes at the core of our engagements with and understanding of literature itself.During the past twenty years, much admirable work in the “health humanities” has focused upon what studies of literature contribute to the understandings and the practical work―the “worldly work”―of healthcare. Such a project aims at developing healthcare practitioners who bring greater care to those who come to them ailing or in fear or faced with terrible suffering.

The Tārīkh al-fattāsh is one of the most important and celebrated sources for the history of pre-colonial West Africa, yet it has confounded scholars for decades with its inconsistences and questions surrounding its authorship. In this study, Mauro Nobili examines and challenges existing theories on the chronicle, arguing that much of what we have presumed about the work is deeply flawed. Making extensive use of previously unpublished Arabic sources, Nobili demonstrates that the Tārīkh al-fattāsh was in fact written in the nineteenth century by a Fulani scholar, Nūḥ b. al-Ṭāhir, who modified pre-existing historiographical material as a political project in legitimation of the West African Islamic state known as the Caliphate of Ḥamdallāhi and its founding leader Aḥmad Lobbo. Contextualizing its production within the broader development of the religious and political landscape of West Africa, this study represents a significant moment in the study of West African history and of the evol

Accelerate your toddler's education in first words and colors using this engaging book designed by a professional artist and licensed speech pathologist. Wishy Washy takes your young child on an adventure as they learn new words through life-like paintings, bright colors, and an animal friend who guides them along the way. This book is more dynamic than other basic first words or color books because its pictures and words were strategically chosen to start with early developing phonemes (b, p, m, d, t) and to teach your child words they can easily say or approximate at a very young age (9 months to 2 years old) like puppy vs. elephant. Wishy Washy also provides tips for parents to help them encourage verbal approximations (acceptable substitutes). Plus, this engaging book comes with an attached wooden paintbrush and faux paint palette--a tactile, interactive tool that will provide your child with multi-sensory learning and help them better retain information on each page.

A.慢性萎縮性胃炎：慢性萎縮性胃炎經常被作為篩選胃癌高危人群的手段，臨床上要盡量掌握其普通白光內鏡所見，以及萎縮黏膜病灶分界線，當前的臨床實踐中已達成以下共識：①內鏡萎縮分界線的定義為正常胃底腺黏膜與萎縮胃底腺黏膜的分界線；②木村、竹本的論文原著有需要改進的方面，有收集相關資料重新編輯的需要；③為明確普通白光內鏡所見／萎縮邊界線，有必要將普通白光內鏡所見與切除標本的組織病理學結果進行比較。期待通過放大內鏡對胃小區進行的診斷，向病灶區域診斷方向發展。 B.胃癌：放大內鏡是發現病灶、評判疾病性狀及診斷浸潤程度的必要手段。對於A、B共同的“臨床實踐（clinical practice）”而言，確立正確的普通內鏡檢查方法重要，同時，要在保證相關訓練的基礎上，普及和發展放大內鏡檢查。

如果工作是一種樂趣，人生就是天堂。 嗨社畜們，快來一起見上帝！ ▶要加入社畜行列了好緊張！我該怎麼開始？ A.先求有再求好 B.客觀分析對工作的適應情況 C.正確評估自己的能力 D.對未來的事業進行完整規劃 ▶那些好傻好天真的想法，能丟多遠就丟多遠！ 「可、可是我好像還沒準備好……」 如果總是希望準備得完美、再完美一些，才開始行動，那麼，可能永遠都無法開始了。 「我覺得Ａ方案好像比較好，但Ｂ方案似乎比較快……！啊那個Ｃ方案老闆應該會喜歡！」 在職場中，老闆需要的是「做」的人，而不是總是「想」的人。總之快去做就對了！ 「跟著這前輩看起來就能吃香喝辣的，我要黏著他！」 人脈是一種相互間的「共榮」關係，你在利用別人之前，要先創造自己的「可利用價值」。 ▶自尊是什麼？能吃嗎？ 沒人會在乎你的自尊，這個世界期望你先做出成績，再去強調自己的感受。如其自怨自艾，不如忍辱負重，讓自己先拔尖。

A powerful, uplifting and moving story of a teenage girl's battle against losing her sight and keeping her friendships. Mafalda is 13 and has been blind since she was 10. Her best friend is the cheerfully rule-breaking Filippo, and she is accompanied everywhere by Ottimo Turcaret, her devoted cat. Mafalda is always looking on the bright side, thinking of things she can do both now and in the future despite her loss of sight. But other things are worrying her too: her father who has lost his job and is now in the depths of depression, refusing to leave his bed; and the horrible girl in school, Debbie, who seems very interested in Filippo . . . So now Mafalda has to start thinking what Filippo really means to her . . . Then two new adults come into her life: Elsa, a homeless young woman, and Signor Nino, the elderly upstairs neighbour with an awful temper and a great passion for Charles Dickens. Little by little, Mafalda learns their stories, and how their lives had also been shaped by b

Spanish monarchs recognized the jurisdictions of many self-governing corporate groups, including Jews and Muslims on the peninsula, indigenous peoples in their American colonies, and enslaved and free people of African descent across the empire. Republics of Difference examinesfifteenth-century Seville and sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Lima to show how religiously- and racially-based self-governance functioned in a society with many kinds of law, what effects it had on communities, and why it mattered. By comparing these minoritized communities on both sides of theSpanish Atlantic world, this study offers a new understanding of the distinct standings of those communities in their urban settings. Drawing on legal and commercial records from late medieval Spain and colonial Latin America, Karen B. Graubart paints insightful portraits of residents' everydaylives to underscore the discriminatory barriers as well as the occupational structures, social hierarchies, and networks in which

W. E. B. Du Bois was one of the most significant American political thinkers of the twentieth century. This volume collects 24 of his essays and speeches on international themes, spanning the years 1900-1956. These key texts reveal Du Bois's distinctive approach to the problem of empire and demonstrate his continued importance in our current global context. The volume charts the development of Du Bois's anti-imperial thought, drawing attention to his persistent concern with the relationship between democracy and empire and illustrating the divergent inflections of this theme in the context of a shifting geopolitical terrain; unprecedented political crises, especially during the two world wars; and new opportunities for transnational solidarity. With a critical introduction and extensive editorial notes, W.E.B. Du Bois: International Thought conveys both the coherence and continuity of Du Bois's international thought across his long life and the tremendous range and variety of his preoc
