  On Travel presents a pyrotechnic display of cracking one-liners, cynical wordplay and comic observation, mining three thousand years of global wit and wisdom: from Pliny to Spinoza and from Albert Einstein to Aunt Augusta. Beyond the mad diversity of opinions and ideas, there is a gradually emerging consensus: that other people are crucial to our understanding of ourselves and that there is more than one right way to be. It also offers occasional practical tips to make the most of your trip, ranging from advice on choosing your companions to the importance of tethering your camel. And it proves that travel – far from being an indulgent escape – is real preparation for the journey through life.

  In this short paper Paula Eleta explores the theme of the value of the puppet in the pedagogical field, mainly in early childhood (0-6 years), as an effective tool to improve the quality of the educational service through play. Under the direction of the educator, the puppet can become an excellent ”assistant” to build new educational contexts, able to offer all those who live in the services different accesses to a common and shared space. The puppet can help to found a more inclusive ”school”, giving voice and listening to the past, experiences, knowledge and skills of the various actors involved: children (first of all), families, educators, pedagogical coordinators and other subjects of their own territory. ”The puppet as an educational tool value” is a written text in an accessible and immediate form. Furthermore, the topics covered have been elaborated on the basis of the author`s long experience in the field. The content is therefore full of concrete and enlightening examples and, among the many proposed activities to be carried out, there is an easy and quick technique to build puppet characters: an activity that can be performed, at the various educational services, both together with families and children (with the support of adults).

  ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
  Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood tells the fictionalized story of Grace Marks, a young housemaid convicted of murder in 1843. The novel explores the complexities of truth, memory, and identity as a doctor, Simon Jordan, attempts to uncover the truth about the crime. As Dr. Jordan delves into Grace's story through interviews and a hypnotic session, he struggles with her shifting narratives and his own emotional involvement. The story examines how narratives are shaped by personal perspectives and social expectations. The narrative also portrays the challenges faced by women in the 19th century. The book presents a narrative filled with fragmented memories, conflicting accounts and social commentary that questions the nature of truth itself.

  There is hope in Alzheimer's disease, but it isn't where most people look for it... 
  Any form of dementia is terrifying and lonely for both the one suffering it and for those close to them. How do our relationships with those we love change with loss of memory or clarity of thought? What happens to our relationship with God? 
  For those suffering from early-stage Alzheimer's, for their friends and family, community and church, this book will help you understand the disease itself, how to love and care for those affected by it, and how to see the hope that's greater than it: we may forget, but God always remembers. 
  With pastoral tenderness and gospel confidence, Dr. Benjamin Mast shares his expertise on the subject and displays the power of the gospel that remains intact even when memory fades. Second Forgetting provides:Up-to-date answers to common questions about the disease and its effect on personal identity and faith.Personal stories of those affected and the loved ones who care for them and what their experiences were like—where they found hope and how they most needed support.Practical suggestions for how the church can come alongside families and those struggling or hurting. 
  When a person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's, they face great uncertainty, knowing that they can expect to live their remaining years with increasing confusion and progressively greater reliance upon other people to care for them. Dr. Mast will help you see how Alzheimer's disease cannot have the final say on God's unforgotten children. 
  Reflection questions are included in the audiobook companion PDF download.
