In this powerful and thought-provoking book, author May Francis delves into the complex and deeply entrenched issue of racism, exploring its history and how it continues to manifest in society today. Through personal anecdotes, historical analysis, and a call to action, May Francis urges readers to confront their own biases and actively work towards creating a more equitable and just world. The book begins by examining the roots of racism, tracing its origins back to the transatlantic slave trade and the systemic oppression that has been perpetuated for centuries. May Francis then discusses the various forms of racism that exist today, including institutional racism, microaggressions, and colorism, and how these systems of discrimination continue to impact marginalized communities. But "Antiracism: From Personal Awareness to Collective Action" is not just a book about the problems of racism. It is a call to action, urging readers to take responsibility for their own role in perpetuating or challenging systems of oppression. May Francis provides practical steps for individuals to become antiracist, including learning about and supporting marginalized communities, speaking out against injustice, and advocating for change. This book is a must-read for anyone seeking to understand and dismantle racism in all its forms. It is a powerful call to action for everyone to work towards a more just and equitable society.Zum Buch
When seventh grade enemies research a missing set of jewels for a class project, they realize that the answers to the unsolved case might be much closer to home than they thought. If you told Sloane Osburn and Amelia Miller-Poe that they'd be hiding in their town cemetery from an evil mastermind, they would have been hard-pressed to believe you. If you also told them that person was intent on beating them to a cache of long-lost jewels using nothing more than a slingshot and wicked aim, they'd have been sure you got your facts wrong. Finally, if you told them they'd be doing this as friends . . . well, they would have been sure you needed medical attention. Whether through serendipity or zemblanity, someone tricked their teacher into using their seventh-grade class to investigate the mystery of their town's long-missing treasure. From there, things have escalated. Now, the girls are stuck hiding behind a gravestone, dodging acorns, and just a few clues short of those jewels. It's up to these enemies-turned-partners to uncover centuries-old clues to find the treasure at the end of this book before the mysterious person on their trail can get to it first . . .Zum Buch
The Boss is back… And he’s brought his Big Brother with him! With his hidden microphones and numbered gang members, a devious criminal mastermind known only as “the Boss” has broken out of prison and has been working behind the scenes to topple the financial institutions of the world. His plan appears to have something to do with computers. And, possibly, potatoes. In any case, it’s up to super sleuth Agaton Sax - along with Aunt Matilda and the long-suffering Inspector Lispington - to stop them in their tracks… If they can. The Agaton Sax series of books were first published in Sweden, later being translated into English and printed with illustrations by much-loved artist Quentin Blake (perhaps best known for his work on the books of Roald Dahl). The English translations became immensely popular, achieving the status of the most re-issued mystery & detective series in the history of Nordic children's literature. Now, for the first time, Oak Tree Books is proud to publish the entire Agaton Sax series in audio format, newly translated for the next generation and expertly narrated by Barnaby Eaton-Jones.Zum Buch
