  History's Greatest Battles -...

  Great battles mark history's turning points, occurring where cultures and ideologies clash. While some battles have been won by the superior force, others have been won by a sheer dogged refusal to surrender in the face of overwhelming odds. Superior weaponry has sometimes brought victory, as at Plassey, while the extraordinary generalship of a Napoleon, a Wellington, or a Marlborough has won the day on other occasions. 
   
  From the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC, when the vastly-outnumbered Athenian army turned back an invasion of the mighty Persian empire, up to the Vietnamese defeat of the French army at the battle of Dien Bien Phu, the battles in this book demonstrate that fate is not always on the side of the big battalions.

  How do colors make you feel? This brilliantly illustrated, delightfully fun children's book dives into the colors of the rainbow, introducing young children to not only colors but the emotions, and the FEELINGS of color. 
  Little ones learn to relate to the beauty and uniqueness of colors and how colors can define how they feel. 
  "Yellow is a bright color! It is the color of the big, beautiful sun! Bananas, lemons, sunflowers, and bees are yellow. It may make you feel warm and excited." 
  Teaching feelings to young children is imperative for their development. Also, validating their feelings and discussing them empowers children and teaches self-awareness. Making connections, enhancing vocabulary, and problem-solving are all areas in which children build self-esteem. 
  This concept has always been part of the author's philosophy, which birthed the idea of developing this book.

  The Revolutionary Self - Social...

  An illuminating exploration of the tensions between self and society in the age of revolutions. 
   
   
   
  The eighteenth century was a time of cultural friction: individuals began to assert greater independence and there was a new emphasis on social equality. In this surprising history, Lynn Hunt examines women's expanding societal roles, such as using tea to facilitate conversation between the sexes in Britain. In France, women also pushed boundaries by becoming artists, and printmakers' satiric takes on the elite gave the lower classes a chance to laugh at the upper classes and imagine the potential of political upheaval. Hunt also explores how promotion in French revolutionary armies was based on men's singular capabilities, rather than noble blood, and how the invention of financial instruments such as life insurance and national debt related to a changing idea of national identity. Wide-ranging and thought-provoking, The Revolutionary Self is a fascinating exploration of the conflict between individualism and the group ties that continues to shape our lives today.
