When John and Mildred Adams arrived in Baghdad in 1955 with their two small children to teach in a girls' college there, Iraq was enjoying a rare period of comparative peace, prosperity, and progress. A new nation, a constitutional monarchy created by England from three Ottoman provinces just after World War I, Iraq was still only superficially united, torn by political and religious tensions. But the liberal, pro-Western monarchy and the pervasive Western influence had endured, and the abundant flow of Iraq's oil was supporting the government's efforts to improve every area of life in Iraq. who cold have predicted the tragic events that would soon sweep that vibrant world away? - the bloody revolution of 1958, the repressive rule od Saddam Hussein, the Persian Gulf War, the sanctions, the preemptive was of 2003 amd its turbulent aftermath, and throughout those years, the emigration and exile of millions of Iraqi people. This lively memoir ( a sequel to Harding's Waking Up In Egypt) will increase modern readers' understanding of Iraq and their sympathy for the long suffering Iraqi people.

By the time she was four, Beverly, or "Bubbles" was performing in public. She learned to sing opera by imitating her mother's records. When her soon to be voice teacher heard Bubbles sing, she laughed out loud. But the teacher agreed to take Bubbles, and the rest is history. At a time when virtually all major opera singers were European, Bubbles became internationally famous because of her spectacular soprano voice and her sparkling and bubbly personality. Now back in print, this new edition, revised and updated, will enchant readers seeking narrative biographies.

Biographies

Samuel Morse was a painter and an American inventor who invented the telegraph key which forever changed communication. The biography describes his childhood, his life as a painter and inventor, and includes information on the Morse code and making a telegraph key. All quotations in the book are from Morse’s writings. Now back in print, this new edition, revised and updated, will enchant readers seeking narrative biographies. REVIEWS “An appealing biography and an introduction to the telegraph and Morse code. Kerby describes how Morse overcame opposition and changed the world, emphasizing his persistence and spirit of experimentation. Clearly written instructions for the construction of a simple telegraph follow the narrative . . . An excellent choice, especially for those struggling to find quality nonfiction for younger and reluctant readers.” School Library Journal

One rainy night in 1888, a stray dog wandered into the U.S. Post Office in Albany, New York. Workers found him the next morning asleep on a pile of mail pouches. The dog seemed to like the post office and the smell of the mailbags and the men's wool uniforms. When no one came to claim him, they named him Owney and made him their pet. However, Owney's loyalty and sense of adventure soon made it clear he wasn't just an average mutt. Over the course of nine years, Owney guarded the mail―not only in Albany but on mail trains that traveled all over the United States.
