Amy's eyes are blue as the ocean and bright as buttons. In fact, they are buttons, for Amy is a doll. Once she was a flesh-and-blood orphan child at St. Anne's Home for Girls. But her beloved sailor doll turned into a real little man and went off to seek his fortune, becoming Captain of the frigate Ariel. So Amy pined away and-behold! She turning into a doll herself."Why, this means that almost anything could happen!" says the Captain upon his return.And almost anything does, as the two set out on the Ariel with a crew that includes rabbits, dogs, cats, monkeys, and other animals (who were all once dolls themselves) on a dangerous quest for gold treasure. This new edition of Amy's Eyes enhances the original text with more than 100 illustrations, adding a whole new dimension to the reading experience. The first edition received widespread positive reviews; Kirkus Review described it as "a treasure hunt of true and false clues and intriguing puzzles, and reads like a breeze".

Conscience Place

Bartholomew, the limbless one, who records the life of his brothers...Lucas, the bodiless, who gives his brothers names...Brother Alice, who delivers the words of the Fathers to Conscience Place. To the outside world, they are monsters. To themselves, they are simply the People. America has cast them out of sight, out of mind. But you will never forget them. Since 1984, Conscience Place has been published in seven languages and 12 editions. Thirty-five years later, it remains shockingly timely and deeply moving.The Library Journal said Conscience Place is: "A thought-provoking gem. A beautifully told story stark in its simplicity, timely in its dealing with the results of nuclear exposure, and universal in its treatment of humans' inhumanity to their fellows." Joyce Thompson was born and raised in Seattle. She is a graduate of Cornell University and the author of six published novels, two collections of short stories, and a memoir. Since 1994, she has worked as a technology product marketer. She lives with her husband in Oakland, California. Her work was recently shortlisted for a Lambda award and for the Staunch Book Prize.

Meticulous research exposes deception and outright fraud by chemical companies to keep profiting from herbicides they knew were toxic and government complicity in covering up severe human health problems and environmental damage.Carol Van Strum, one of two women featured in the award-winning PBS documentary film The People vs. Agent Orange, tells a compelling story of a quest for justice in A Bitter Fog. The book was awarded the Christopher Award, which is presented to writers whose works "affirm the highest values of the human spirit."This new edition of A Bitter Fog adds a brief update on the fight for environmental justice and numerous photographs that add a new perspective to the story."A real life Toxic Avenger.

The year was 1960. The place, Paris. They met by chance on the street in front of the small hotel where they both had taken lodging-the author, an American newspaperman; and a pretty girl with light brown hair cropped short, unruly. Her voice was low pitched, her accent unmistakably English but modulated, restrained, an echo of class, though not of the working class. In profile the sharp line of her jaw tipped upward and her forehead, high and straight, offered a classical image of startling beauty and febrile intensity.Her name was Caroline. For whatever reasons, or for no particular reason at all unless escape from unpleasantness and tedium was a reason, she and the author had drifted into this ancient city. Paris then was magic. Paris was that almost mythical idyll of youth and freedom, and Paris had seduced and bewitched them.Thus begins Alan Littell's memoir of the early years of the girl he one day would marry, from her birth as a British colonial in Cairo in 1939 to their life together in the Europe, England and America of the 1960s.
