by Amy OlberdingIn this study, Olberding proposes a new theoretical model for reading the Analects.

More About Paddington (Paddington Bear #2)
by Michael BondIn this new book about him, Paddington is still living with the Brown family in London and still filling their lives with near disasters that somehow manage to end up as almost triumphs. There is the time Paddington sets out to redecorate his room and imprisons himself in an indescribable chaos of paint and wallpaper, but at least he saves Mr. Brown the trouble of doing the job himself. Or the time he turns detective only to succeed in bagging a London policeman. With Paddington around, the traditional Guy Fawkes Day celebration takes on far more excitement than the usual fireworks. And when Paddington sets out to do his Christmas shopping, and ends up in a display window, nothing less than the entire department store is thrown into confusion. But his Christmas surprise for the Browns is more than recompense for the daily strain of coping with his good intentions. This book contains picture descriptions.
