Sinossi

The Hand of Ethelberta Thomas Hardy - The Hand of Ethelberta: A Comedy in Chapters is a novel by Thomas Hardy, published in 1876. It was written, in serial form, for the Cornhill Magazine, which was edited by Leslie Stephen, a friend and mentor of Hardy's. Unlike the majority of Hardy's fiction, the novel is a comedy, with both humour and a happy ending for the major characters and no suicides or tragic deaths. The late nineteenth century novelist George Gissing, who knew Hardy, considered it 'surely old Hardy's poorest book'

    This book was written to educate, motivate and encourage not just children but parents also to aid and bring comfort to settle anxieties regarding starting school. To achieve this, a mother and son diligently worked together to address some concerns that most children have before their first day of school. The story depicts a nervous four-year-old boy expressing his concerns to his mom, who gave him advice that helped him to overcome his fears. Their conversations are filled with rhymes, words and phrases to assist with the improvement of your child's vocabulary and develop their ability to understand and express themselves. At the end of the book, the boy is ready for his first day of school; he has an eagerness to learn and to meet new friends. His mom was able to make him understand how awesome and important it is to go to school. He now knows that school is a safe, exciting and happy place. The story highlights the use of words that have multiple meanings, and words that sound the same but have different spellings and meanings. It emphasises the value of learning words with their meanings and use. The book includes a glossary of words and phrases that were used throughout the book, which may be new to your child and perhaps even you. A lot was learned during the process of writing this book. Learning is an ongoing event. Learning never gets old and you are never too old to learn.

    Ever since she could remember, thirteen-year-old Imani has wanted to be a fashion designer. 
    But fashion designers are bold, out-there, and in your face. And despite her unique sense of style, Imani has trouble fitting in, let alone standing out. Entering her new school’s design competition for a scholarship to the nearby arts high school seems like the perfect way to make new friends and get closer to her dream of being a designer. 
    Then Imani’s designs are stolen by one of her classmates, and Imani is forced to enter the competition anonymously, under a virtual persona of her own creation—“Estelle.” When Estelle then goes viral, Imani must figure out how to be her “real” self as she finds her true friends and her voice... all while hoping to win the competition.

    Export Commodity by Irving Cox Jr. - Henig was sent to obtain a soil sample of the planet. It was a routine assignment, but not necessarily the only method for discovering an—Export Commodity 
    Three of the hairless bipeds stood in front of the frame building talking. Concealed by the brush beyond the road, Henig studied them carefully. These were the dominant species on this primitive world, unspeakably grotesque things. The pale, white skinned animals had a culture of sorts—their language, their buildings, their wheeled vehicles testified to that—but an animal society was very different from the rational civilization Henig knew. 
    He was naked and he carried no weapons. That was the logic of the computers. But Henig was a Fleet Lieutenant, not one of the scientists. He put his faith in arms rather than computer logic. Stripped of his weapons, he lost a fundamental part of himself. The computers had said he would be safe, but too many things could go wrong. Too many factors might have been left out of the observer data submitted to the machines. 
    Henig inched cautiously toward the three white things standing near the wooden structure. The telecommunicator, which the surgeons had planted in his skull, caught the sound of alien voices and made a conceptual translation in terms Henig understood. He could have used the same device to communicate directly with the alien minds, but the Scientist-General had warned him against that. 
    "The hairless bipeds," he told Henig, "are only an animal species. They have no civilization. Make no mistake about that, Lieutenant." 
    "And if we decide we need their planet, sir—" 
    "We'll set up reservations for them, so they can't interfere with our operation." 
    "They won't have weapons to match ours," Henig suggested hopefully. 
    "If you go in uniform, Lieutenant, even these witless things would recognize you as an alien.
