Good things happen when you stand up for yourself! Petronius is the funniest clown in the world, but he's tired of being told what to do by the ringmaster. The animals are tired of being bossed around too. So, Petronius and his friends--Theodore the donkey, Ferdinand the horse, Gustav the lion, Luise the giraffe, and Otto the dog--leave the circus. With a little patience and creativity, the friends realize just what it would take to make them happy. They may not have a big top, but Petronius can tell his wonderful stories, the dog can run free without his collar, and the horse can nap through the waltz if he's getting sleepy. And soon the band of friends perform the show they've always dreamed of doing. This picture book classic from 1961 has been newly illustrated by award winner Torben Kuhlmann for a whole new generation to enjoy.

Introduction to Materials Science and Engineering: A Design-Led Approach is the perfect text for a first course in materials for engineering students majoring in mechanical, civil, biomedical, aerospace and other engineering disciplines. The authors' systematic method of first analyzing and selecting properties to match materials to design through the use of real-world case studies, then examining the science behind the material properties, better engages students whose primary job responsibilities after graduation will be centered on engineering design or applied industrial research. As with Ashby's other leading texts, the book emphasizes visual communication through material property charts and numerous schematics to help students better understand the origins of properties, their manipulation and fundamental limits, and to provide a tool for selection of materials and for understanding the ways in which engineering materials are used.

Willow has never felt like she belonged anywhere and is convinced that the only way to find a true home is to travel the world. But her plans to act on her dream are put on hold when her aloof and often absent mother drags Willow to Salem, Massachusetts, to wrap up the affairs of an aunt Willow didn’t even know she had. An aunt who may or may not have been a witch.There, she meets Mason, a loner who’s always felt out of place and has been in and out of foster homes his entire life.

明亮的色彩與炙熱的心，荷蘭後印象派大師一生中只賣出一幅畫，生活全依靠弟弟接濟，十年燃燒生命，血淚鑄就不朽名作！「有些人的靈魂懷著火焰，卻沒有人藉此取暖，路人除了看見煙囪中冒出的一點煙之外渾然未覺，兀自前進，我們能做的只有讓火焰繼續在體內燃燒，然後等待……」──出自梵谷寫給弟弟西奧的信身為傳教士，他的宗教熱誠反而招來教會反感；想做個戀人，卻又總是在求愛時碰壁。即使被戀人接納，也受到雙方家長的反對，他滿腔的愛無處可去，卻越來越炙熱，終於化為大火，將自己熊熊燃盡。▎〈吃馬鈴薯的人〉（De Aardappeleters）陰暗、深綠的畫面色調中，油燈是唯一的光源，農夫一家人擠在狹小空間中，以憂愁嚴肅的表情分食著馬鈴薯，微微扭曲的肢體是費力支撐起生活的結果。年輕時，梵谷曾懷著宗教熱誠走入礦區布道，礦工們艱苦、危險的生活觸動了梵谷的心靈，對中下階層的刻畫貫穿了他繪畫生涯中的大部分時光。也許因幾乎是自學成才，梵谷早期對人體結構的掌握並不夠精準，也可能，因為梵谷此時總是畫礦工、農夫、妓女，而這些人因為貧困與過度勞動的緣故，早已使得肌肉骨骼的生長變形。▎〈唐吉老爹像〉（Portrait of Père Tanguy）老人從容和藹端坐畫面中央，身後數幅繪畫滿溢日本浮世繪風情，輕柔、粉嫩，豔麗的用色與從前的梵谷大不相同，他來到巴黎，發現人在創作的路上也需要同伴的友誼與刺激。〈唐吉老爹像〉創作於梵谷受弟弟西奧邀請前往巴黎以後，唐吉老爹是當地深受藝術家喜愛的畫具店老闆。梵谷在巴黎結識了許多藝術家朋友，置身在當時正興起的印象派與新印象派潮流中，也因為愛上浮世繪的大膽設色，梵谷用色逐漸明豔，這樣的特徵便展現在他為唐吉老爹畫的肖像之中。▎〈向日葵〉（Sunflowers）梵谷畫了一系列的向日葵，當中並非沒有飽滿盛開的輕盈花朵，但我們印象最深的卻總是另外幾張中焦黃、猙獰的垂死姿態，委靡、花瓣零落，卻充滿生命力地怒張著，對抗過度明亮的世界。南法的陽光多麼刺眼。約從搬到亞爾左右開始，梵谷陷入對黃色的狂熱愛好之中，此後經常可以在他的作品中看見大片黃色，以及完美襯托黃色的深藍色。在巴黎時，好友高更向梵谷要了兩幅〈向日葵〉，他在亞爾再次描繪這個主題，也抱著能以此打動高更的念頭。▎〈綁繃帶的自畫像〉（Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear）邀請高更造訪亞爾並未迎來好結果，這對朋友並不適合「

Can Merli and his friends help Marky to occupy his fun-loving (and sometimes inconsiderate) younger cousin?
