Sinopse

In "Anne of Avonlea," Lucy Maud Montgomery continues the enchanting narrative of Anne Shirley, now an aspiring teacher and a young adult navigating the complexities of life in the idyllic Prince Edward Island. Montgomery's prose beautifully captures the poignant interplay of whimsy and realism, depicting the challenges Anne faces as she molds her identity within a community that both embraces and scrutinizes her passionate spirit. The novel is imbued with rich descriptions of the landscape and a vivid portrayal of small-town dynamics, firmly rooting it in the early 20th-century literary context of coming-of-age narratives that celebrate individualism against societal expectations. Lucy Maud Montgomery, a Canadian author with a profound love for storytelling, drew inspiration from her own experiences and the local landscapes of Prince Edward Island, where she spent much of her childhood. The themes of imagination, friendship, and resilience reflect Montgomery's understanding of the socio-cultural milieu of her time, as she sought to portray the inner lives of her characters with empathy and depth. Her work often grappled with the dichotomy of tradition and progress, mirroring her own life as a woman writer in a patriarchal society. "Anne of Avonlea" is highly recommended for readers of all ages who yearn for an uplifting tale celebrating optimism, growth, and the enduring power of friendship. Montgomery's ability to weave humor with profound insight offers a timeless reading experience. This book is an essential addition to any literary collection and stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit.

Why talk about water? This vital compound is not equal to anything that gives life to humans, animals and plants; in short, to the entire ecosystem on Earth. How vital can it be to have water to drink to quench your thirst, to accompany our food and to make our environment livable? Many of us ignore the importance of this, either by squandering this common good, or by using it to do business. I will talk about how water is used in various continents and also how it is exploited by some for business, when a common good should belong to all and at low cost. Then we will also address the most important topic, pollution, which today destroys entire seas, lakes and rivers. Sources polluted by the neglect of man towards the environment and towards himself, yes, because those who ruin their territory will also ruin their own future and this is incomprehensible by all those who are defending this planet of ours. We will talk about the various types of water and their characteristics and their qualities. In short, a complete roundup that will bring more knowledge for this immense good that is water.

FINDING THEIR MISSING GRANDMA   WILL BE  NO SMALL FEAT!    Rubi and her much more daring--and skateboard-obsessed--brother, Quinn, are visiting their grandmother on beautiful Vashon Island for the weekend. It's the first time they've taken the ferry from Seattle by themselves. But weirdly, when they arrive, Nana is nowhere to be found!   Then their Uncle James lets them in on a little secret:  Bigfoot  may have been spotted! And their Nana isn't  any  old grandma--she's the most famous Bigfoot hunter around! Trouble is, Nana should've returned by now. And nobody in all of Puget Sound has seen her! At least... nobody  human.   Rubi and Quinn will have to follow the footprints (and scat!), crack the clues, and rely on each other to find their Nana and bring her home... that is, unless Bigfoot finds them  first !
