The State of the American Empire: How the USA Shapes the World

As the United States casts an increasingly dominant shadow in world affairs, resentment from the international community widens. In The State of the American Empire, Stephen Burman lays bare the global scope of the political, economic, cultural, and military might of a country that, paradoxically, was founded in a rebellion against imperialism. Combining forensic analysis with detailed full-color graphics, Burman provides a comprehensive overview of the countries that are dependent on U.S. trade or investment, or are inhabited by U.S. troops. Liberally illustrated with maps that display America's global footprint, from its military interventions to its trading partners, The State of the American Empire interrogates every aspect of this new empire to reveal its roots, its likely duration, and, most important, its impact on the rest of the world.Copub: Myriad Editions

Being "different" is difficult to accept at any age, but for a very young child it is particularly challenging and upsetting. "Reading Lights" is a set of four comic books for four- to seven-year-olds which address in a simple but creative way what it is like to be "different", and they follow the motto "Stop! Think! Understand!" They are accompanied by a poster with four photocopiable resource sheets that suggest activities and provide a helpful discussion framework. The set is made up of the following titles. "Little Raja - The Elephant with the Troublesome Trunk" by Woodrow Phoenix. Raja upsets every animal in town - until he learns how to squirt and splash and save the day. "Peaches - the Puppy who Screeches" by Corinne Pearlman. No one will play with Peaches, but when she puts her bark to the rescue, everything changes. "Streaky - the Annoying Little Piglet" by Ed Hillyer. Life is good to Streaky - if he "thoinks" before he acts. "Quackerline - the Duck who wanted to be a Swan" by Graham Higgins. Being yourself is hard work - but it's easier than trying to be someone else.
