Benjamin Franklin, American Genius

A$ 28.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Brandon Marie Miller
Published by:
Chicago Review Press
Capturing the essence of this exceptional individual through his original writings and hands-on activities from his era, this resource tells the rich story of one of America's most celebrated Founding Fathers. Beginning with his time as a young printer, this engaging narrative details how Benjamin Franklin became a celebrity with the publication of "Poor Richard: An Almanack" and how he founded the colonies' first lending library, volunteer fire company, and postal service.

Black Civil Rights Champions
order quantity
A$ 33.95 each
Author:
Kimberly Hayes Taylor
Published by:
The Oliver Press
Gr 6-8-A good introduction to the history of the civil rights movement. In a clear, objective style, Taylor covers the early life, education, and accomplishments of seven black leaders, emphasizing the various social movements each spearheaded. The author also includes peripheral information about other influential players in the battle for equality. The chapter on Malcolm X, for example, has brief introductions to Marcus Garvey, Elijah Muhammed, John F. Kennedy, and the Ku Klux Klan. While all of this is helpful, it could prove confusing to less competent readers. The last section contains short bios of other notable figures-Mary McCleod Bethune, Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson, Carol Moseley Braun, and Clarence Thomas. Black-and-white photographs appear throughout

Boom Bust
order quantity
A$ 51.95 each
Paperback
Author:
Fred Harrison
Published by:
Shepheard-Walwyn (Publishers) Ltd
Updated 2nd Edition
In the two and a half years since the first edition appeared, events have unfolded as predicted. In 2005 the consensus among forecasters was that the boom in house prices would cool to an annual 2 or 3% rise over the following years. In fact, in keeping with the 'winner's curse' phase of the cycle described by the author, prices have risen by more than 10% per annum.
The author reveals that the government's monetary policy only has a marginal impact on land speculation, but as the Bank of England raises interest rates to curb house price inflation, the main victim is the first-time buyer and the productive economy, especially small businesses. The only way to neutralise the boom bust cycle is through a reform of taxation, he claims.

C.S. Lewis
order quantity
A$ 23.95 each
Author:
M. Coren
Published by:
Fitzhenry & Whiteside
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Horse and His Boy, and the other books in C.S. Lewis's Narnia Chronicles are among the most beloved in children's literature.
In a strong and moving narrative, Narnia's readers are introduced to "Plain Jack" Lewis and are able to explore his life as a scholar, his friendships with writers such as J.R.R. Tolkien, the Christianity that underlies his writing, and the great love story of his final years. Lewis's personal story is as fascinating as the books with which he has delighted generations of readers.
Photographs of C.S. Lewis's world, from the grimy streets of Belfast and the horrors of trench warfare to the grandeur of Oxford and Cambridge, bring his story to vivid life and make this book as exciting to look at as it is informative to read.
