Hardcover. Condition: new. Tavares, Matt (illustrator). Hardcover. This "magnificent account" (New York Times) of Helen Keller's life presents a moving portrait of one of the world's great luminaries. When Helen was nineteen months old, an illness left her unable to see or speak. She struggled to make herself understood, and often lashed out when she couldn't. With the help of a teacher named Annie Sullivan, she learned to spell words with her fingers, opening her world immeasurably. She soon learned to write and to read Braille, and even to read lips by touch; with Annie by her side, she went to college, and wrote an autobiography that shared her story with the world. She was lauded as a genius and became an advocate for people with disabilities, workers' rights, women's rights, and racial justice. With her signature style of accessible prose laced with stirring quotes, Doreen Rappaport brings to life Helen Keller's poignant narrative in this addition to the Big Words series of picture book biographies. Acclaimed illustrator Matt Tavares beautifully captures the dynamism and verve of Helen's life and legacy, making Helen's Big World an unforgettable portrait of a woman whose vision for innovation and progress changed America--and the world--forever.

Softcover. Condition: As New. Wat is de overeenkomst tussen Malala en Anne Frank? Beide hebben de wereld bewust gemaakt van het onrecht dat hen als kind is aangedaan. Malala strijdt voor haar recht op onderwijs, terwijl Anne Frank ongewild het effect van oorlog op kinderen symboliseert. Dit boek beschrijft twintig kinderen die ernstige maatschappelijke problemen onder de aandacht hebben gebracht en hebben bijgedragen aan oplossingen. Ze hebben, als kinderen, de wereld een beetje verbeterd. De portretten van kinderen zoals Iqbal Masih, Andrew Adansi, Ishmael Beah en Nujood Ali belichten thema's als kinderarbeid, discriminatie, kindhuwelijken, armoede, uitsluiting van onderwijs, oorlog, ziekten en hongersnood. Ondanks hun jonge leeftijd zijn ze gehoord. Kim Phuc, Ruby Bridges, Wilma Westenberg, Nkosi Johnson en Helen Keller hebben zich niet neergelegd bij hun lot en hebben de strijd aangebonden. Hun doorzettingsvermogen biedt steun aan anderen. Wie zijn deze kinderen? Wat hebben ze gedaan en wat inspireerde hen? Wat is het effect van hun daden en wat moet er nog gebeuren? Dit boek geeft hen een stem en toont aan dat verandering mogelijk is. Het laat zien dat het zinvol is om op te staan tegen onrecht, ongeacht je leeftijd. Dit is de belangrijke les die we van hen kunnen leren.

Softcover. Condition: Fine. Leichte Risse. Kann es beim Bestatter zu viele Leichen geben? Wie bringt man einen Finnen dazu, mehr als drei Worte zu sagen? Ist man in einem Pyjama im Supermarkt underdressed oder kommt es auf die Accessoires an? Alles Fragen, die Maggie Abendroth nicht beantworten will. Sie hat definitiv andere Sorgen. Maggie ist 37, pleite und wohnt wieder in ihrer alten Heimat Bochum auf 22 qm - ohne Aussicht. Ihr neuer Job als Aushilfssekretärin bei einem Beerdigungsinstitut stellt ihre Nerven zusätzlich auf eine harte Probe. Bei "Pietät Sommer" ist alles unheimlich: der schweigsame Kollege Herr Matti, ihr blasierter Chef Herr Sommer - und die tote Kundschaft im Keller sowieso. Als dann auch noch ihre Lieblingsorganistin für Trauerfeiern plötzlich verstirbt, steckt Maggie ihre Nase in Dinge, die sie eigentlich nichts angehen. Gemeinsam mit Freundin Wilma, Herrn Matti und Ex-Kommissar Kostnitz begibt sie sich auf Spurensuche.

Muchos de estos alegatos ofrecen perspectivas fascinantes sobre temas clave como la raza y el sufragio. » The Heroine Collective «La dificultad de recordar los discursos que han hecho historia por parte de las mujeres a lo largo del tiempo y de la geografía da razón suficiente de por qué se necesita un libro como este. » Geek Dad «Ha sido estimulante ver la contextualización que hace Rees de aquellas mujeres que pertenecen a la comunidad científica y del mundo empresarial, y que no suelen estar representados en otros libros de este tipo. » Here Wee Read *** Nota: Los envíos a España peninsular, Baleares y Canarias se realizan a través de mensajería urgente.

Auszug: Pablo Neruda ( 12. Juli 1904 in Parral; 23. September 1973 in Santiago de Chile; eigentlich Neftalí Ricardo Reyes Basoalto) war ein chilenischer Dichter und Schriftsteller, der sich vor allem gegen den Faschismus in seinem Heimatland und in Spanien einsetzte. 1971 erhielt er den Nobelpreis für Literatur. Neruda war Sohn des Lokomotivführers José del Carmen Reyes und der Volksschullehrerin Rosa Neftalí Basoalto; sie verstarb an Tuberkulose, als Neruda einen Monat alt war. Im Jahr 1906 zog die Familie nach Temuco, wo sein Vater ein zweites Mal heiratete, nämlich Trinidad Candia Marverde; sie wird von Neruda in seinen Werken als mamadre bezeichnet. Neruda besuchte die Knabenschule von Temuco bis zum Abschluss im Jahr 1920. In seiner Freizeit und in den Ferien machte er erste experimentelle Schreibübungen und durfte regelmäßig mit seinem Vater im Zug mitfahren. Auch in seinen späten Gedichten entdeckt man häufig den Bezug auf Eindrücke seiner Jugend, geprägt von einer weiten ursprünglichen Landschaft. Im Jahr 1919 gewann er den dritten Preis der Blumenspiele von Maule (Juegos Florales de Maule) mit seinem Gedicht Ideelle Gemeinschaft (Comunión ideal). Ab 1920 benutzte er, zunächst für die Literaturzeitschrift Selva Austral , das Pseudonym Pablo Neruda, der Legende nach in Anlehnung an den tschechischen patriotischen Dichter Jan Neruda, dessen sozialkritische Werke er sich, aus lateinamerikanischer Sicht, zum Vorbild für die eigene Arbeit nahm. Neueren Untersuchungen zufolge hatte aber der junge Neftalí Reyes einmal eine Partitur von Pablo de Sarasate gesehen, die der Violinistin Wilma Norman-Neruda gewidmet war. Es waren die Spanische Tänze für Violine und Klavier, in einer Ausgabe der Berliner Edition N. Simrock aus dem Jahre 1879. Das Deckblatt der Partitur vermerkte eine Widmung an Frau Norman-Neruda . Neftalí Reyes benutzte fortan den Vornamen des spanischen Komponisten und den Nachnamen der tschechischen Geigerin für sein Pseudonym. Anlass für das Pseudonym 30 pp. Deutsch.
