  Young Sunnie Rae is contemplating what could be so important about using a silent letter E. Sure, E starts words of big things, like elephant, but when it ends words, most of the time it makes now sound at all, so who needs it? 
  This children's book shows how with the change of just one silent letter, words can drastically change to entirely different words. For example, instead of being cute, you'd be cut. Ouch. That would hurt. Or maybe your robe would rob or Superman would wear a cap instead of a cape. What would be so super about him then? Sunnie Rae realizes in the end how wrong she was to think it unimportant and finishes with "Thank Goodness for Silent E!" 
  Children and adults alike laugh as they read and see the changes that occur when using, or not using a silent ? All ages enjoy coming up with new words to make changes to. 
  This is a great addition to any elementary classroom or library. It is extremely helpful for teaching reading skills to student who are learning English as a first or second language.

  Hygiene in World History

  Peter N. Stearns

  This book features a global, historical analysis of the changes and continuities in one of society's basic functions: seeking to protect itself from disease. 
   
  Hygiene offers an important lens for major aspects of world and comparative history. The volume explores the ways different regions and major religions approached hygiene both before modern times and through the present with the more recent uses of germ theory. Topics in "premodern" hygiene include toilet practices, remarkably varied views about bathing, and different levels of commitment to investments in hygiene infrastructure. The "sanitary revolution" of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries forms a major dividing line in the book, including the variations introduced by developments like colonialism or communism and various forms of resistance to "modern" hygiene. The book links current, often bitter, debates about hygiene, around practices such as masking, both to the larger history and to recent issues like COVID-19. 
   
  Hygiene in World History is an accessible overview aimed at undergraduate and non-specialist listeners interested in world history, public health, and the history of health and disease.
