A former Providence Journal columnist introduces you to the quintessential Rhode Island―its iconic foods (coffee milk, the Awful Awful, Del's lemonade, and Yacht Club Soda); its iconic monuments (the two-ton termite known as The Big Blue Bug, the Superman Building, and Mr. Potato Head); and its iconic events (Parade of the Ancients and Horribles, Best Dressed State Trooper Awards, and the Fools Regatta).

"From God To Verse" is a faithful line-by-line translation of the Five Books of Moses -- Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy -- into verse. The content of the original is all there, but the language has been modernized for greater accessibility, and presented in iambic heptameter. The book also contains a child-friendly summary of each chapter, written in 4-8 lines of iambic tetrameter that precede each chapter's main text. The book is, essentially, a Torah/Bible that has been made friendlier without losing a single line of content. Four sources were used in creating this translation: 1) The Five Books of Moses, by Everett Fox (Schocken Books) 2) The JPS (Jewish Publication Society) Torah - (1962 edition) 3) New Oxford Annotated Bible with Apocrypha (expanded edition, revised standard version). 4) King James Version Bible

This raw, vulnerable, and beautifully written book has its roots in a tragedy that would understandably turn anyone's world upside down: the death of a child; in this case, Niki's son Seth. Niki's unfathomable strength, the love of a supportive family, a relentless desire for answers and a deep spiritual awareness result in a remarkable collaboration between her funny, sensitive son - from the heavens to the earth - as she channels the profound and comforting insights that Seth offers to her from the other side. This book is an essential read for anyone who is trying to make sense of life and the afterlife, especially those who are struggling with the loss of a loved one. "Your homeland is love," Seth tells his mother from the other side. That is made crystal clear, as it is love that transcends time and space and keeps the communication alive between them.

There once was a very normal house, that wasn't exciting at all. It had a normal ceiling, a normal floor, and four normal walls. But one thing about the house was slightly less normal than that. Because Norman wasn't normal, he was a Super-Cat. Have you ever come home to find your house in shambles and the cat acting blissfully unaware? From puking on the carpet to knocking over a glass, colorful action-packed photos and a dynamite rhyming text reveal the surprising truth about what cats do while we're away. Featuring photography by Brooke Arnold and her sphynx cat, Norman.

This book makes an innovative, sociologically informed contribution to academic and policy discussions about informal work, skills and training for lifelong learning (LLL) and the promise of decent work and just transitions for sustainable development. It does so with an explicit focus on challenges and opportunities as they shape informal economies and the experiences of informal workers in Latin America and the Caribbean, the Middle East and North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Asia Pacific. The authors highlight historical and contemporary characteristics of informality in different regions from a political economy of LLL perspective. This political economy approach draws on theories of post- and neo- colonialism, space, place and globalisation, critical accounts of curriculum and pedagogy in skills and vocational education and training. The book will appeal to students and scholars of education, particularly adult education and LLL and technical and vocational education and training, as well as sociology, labour economics, and international and sustainable development.
