The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Vocabulary From Literature (Clydesdale Classics #Vol. 8)
by Mark TwainPackaged in handsome, affordable trade editions, Clydesdale Classics is a new series of essential literary works. The series features literary phenomena with influence and themes so great that, after their publication, they changed literature forever. From the musings of literary geniuses such as Nathaniel Hawthorne in The Scarlet Letter, to the striking personal narratives from Harriet Jacobs in Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, this new series is a comprehensive collection of our history through the words of an exceptional few.Ernest Hemingway once said: "All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn. American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.” Often referred to as "the great American novel,” The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn defined American literature with its richness of characters, colorful vernacular, and vibrant depictions of the American Midwest. Told in the first-person from the viewpoint of the classic protagonist, the satirical narrative follows young "Huck” Finn as he searches for escape and adventure along the Mississippi River.The story begins where Twain’s previous novel, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, left off: Huck and his friend Tom Sawyer come into a large sum of money, and Huck is adopted by a middle-class widow who attempts to civilize him. Accustomed to a poor, destitute existence and vagabonding with his abusive alcoholic father, Huck quickly becomes dissatisfied with the confines and rigidity of his new life. When his father returns and begins to harass him for money, Huck is kidnapped and taken to his father’s cabin, where he longs to escape. After faking his own death, Huck escapes to Jackson’s Island where he meets a slave named Jim, who is also running away. Together, they travel on a raft up the Mississippi River in search of freedom.An absolute, uncontested classic, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the greatest coming-of-age adventure tales of our time.

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
by Mark Twain Paul Moliken<p>This Prestwick House Literary Touchstone Edition includes a glossary and reader's notes to help the modern reader contend with Twain's language, allusions, and deliberate misstatements and malapropisms. <p>The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain's sequel to The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, became an instant success in the year of its publication, 1884, but was seen by some as unfit for children to read because of its language, grammar, and "uncivilized hero." The book has sparked controversy ever since, but most scholars continue to praise it as a modern masterpiece, an essential read, and one of the greatest novels in all of American literature. <p>Twain's satiric treatment of racism, religious excess, and rural simplicity and his accuracy in presenting dialects mark Huck Finn as a classic. His unswerving confidence in Huck's wisdom and maturity, along with the well-rounded and sympathetic portrayal of Jim draw readers into the book, holding them until Huck's last words rejecting all attempts to "sivilize" him.</p>

by Elizabeth HowardAfter running away from their guardians to search for their older brother, Hugh, Alison and her twin, Gavin, find themselves aboard the Caroline, heading toward the colonies. They have heard that Hugh, because of his loyalty to the Stuart cause, has had to take refuge somewhere in the new world and they are determined to find him. It is not until they reach Boston that they realize they are to be sold as bond servants. Gavin is apprenticed to a bookseller and Alison is obliged to fit herself into the role of lady's maid to the spoiled Henrietta. Her life is no longer as carefree and easy as it was in Scotland, but her duties are not too difficult. After escorting Henrietta to Mrs. Bassett's school for young ladies she frequently has time to stop at the bookseller's shop to discuss plans with Gavin for finding their brother. On one occasion, while on an errand that leads her through Old Boston's narrow, winding streets, to her great dismay, Alison suddenly recognizes a familiar profile and she and Gavin are once more faced with the possibility of having to run away. Elizabeth Howard has chosen Old Boston with its busy streets and ship filled harbor for the background for this pre-revolutionary story and again she has created some convincing characters and an excellent plot.

Advent in Narnia: Reflections for the Season
by Heidi Haverkamp"Walking into Advent can be like walking through the wardrobe. " With its enchanting themes of snow and cold, light and darkness, meals and gifts, temptation and sin, forgiveness and hope--and even an appearance by Father Christmas--C. S. Lewis's The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe fits naturally into the Advent season. As the reader seeks a storied king and anticipates the glorious coming of Christmas, these twenty-eight devotions alternate between Scripture and passages from the novel to prompt meditation on Advent themes. Each devotion also includes questions for reflection. The book also provides several resources for churches, including four sessions for small group discussion and ideas for creating a "Narnia Night" for families. Readers will ultimately come to know God better while journeying through Narnia.

Adolescents and Their Families: An Introduction to Assessment and Intervention
by Terry S Trepper Mark WordenThis comprehensive book introduces and integrates adolescent developmental themes and family system theory into a coherent assessment and intervention model. Author Mark Worden views the adolescent as active in shaping the family interactions as much as the family is influential in shaping the adolescent’s behavior. He takes a pragmatic approach to therapy, emphasizing what best explains the clinical phenomena and what works best for change. To this end, a heavy emphasis is placed on the process of evaluation and intervention of adolescents and their families with typical therapeutic dilemmas. This practical book is organized to take the reader through the first evaluation interview, through the planning of intervention strategies, and through the beginning, middle, and termination phases of treatment. Case examples bring Adolescents and Their Families to life, highlighting conceptual discussions. Topics discussed in this important book range from the integration of adolescent and family psychology, to the employment of a contextual-dialectic (“goodness-of-fit”) paradigm to evaluate adolescent-family interface, to matching the intervention with the family. A step-by-step discussion of the first interview and diverse intervention strategies are discussed, as are frequent clinical syndromes--acting-out, underachievement, eating disorders, divorce/single parenthood, depression, and suicide. Graduate students and clinicians will find this appealing book an ideal resource, as will experienced therapists beginning to work with adolescents and families. The book will also serve as an excellent primary or ancillary text for graduate courses in psychotherapy with adolescents and in family therapy courses. High school guidance counselors, social workers, and psychologists will also find many valuable applications in this timely book.

Adolescentes: Y sus Cosas (Como... #45)
by Owen JonesAdolescentes Y sus Cosas Los niños frecuentemente copian lo que ven. Son buenos aprendices y están programados para ser exactamente eso. Una vez que pueden caminar tienen unos diez años para aprender tanto como puedan antes de que se les de mucha libertad para caminar solos en el mundo. Esto difiere de país en país y de siglo en siglo, pero el principio es el mismo. Aunque la mayoría de los niños son duramente supervisados durante esos diez años, muchos niños pasan algo de tiempo solos o únicamente en compañía de otros niños. Esto significa que es una gran idea enseñar a los niños algunos datos de emergencia. En días tempranos, el entrenamiento de Primeros Auxilios para niños puede ser tan fácil como enseñarles el número de emergencias por si se ven involucrados en algún problema. Treinta años atrás mientras estaba viviendo en los Países Bajos, presencié un intento de suicidio por sobredosis. Mi amigo le estaba haciendo PCR y me pidió que fuera a la casilla telefónica y llamará una ambulancia. Fui, pero para cuando llegué ahí, 999 (el número del Reino Unido para emergencia no hacía nada). Miré alrededor en la casilla, pero no pude ver un número de emergencia y aunque mi holandés era fluido. Tuve que salir y parar a un transeúnte para preguntarle. Perdí algunos minutos y el murió. Antes de que un niño vaya a la escuela a los cinco o seis años, los niños deben conocer principios como: el número de emergencia, no hablar con extraños, no subir al auto de ningún desconocido, que la sangre es peligrosa y debe ser tratada y que los huesos se rompen, a tener cuidado cuando corren. Cualquier cosa adicional será un bono. Tú también puedes crear un kit de Primeros Auxilios con tu hijo. Pueden sentarse, discutir el contenido práctico, personal de un kit de Primeros Auxilios y luego llevar a tu hijo a la farmacia para comprar lo necesario. De vuelta en casa, puede
