Fantasy fans of Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson and K.L. Armstrong and M.A. Marr's Loki's Wolves series will enjoy this action and adventure-filled series launch from Donna Galanti. Stay away from the window, don’t go outside when it’s storming and whatever you do, do not touch the orb. Twelve-year-old Joshua Cooper’s grandpa has always warned him about the dangers of lightning. But Joshua never put much stock in his grandpa’s rumblings as anything more than the ravings of an old man with a vast imagination. Then one night, when Joshua and his best friend are home alone during a frightful storm, Joshua learns his grandpa was right. A bolt of lightning strikes his house and whisks away his best friend—possibly forever. To get him back, Joshua must travel the Lightning Road to a dark place that steals children for energy. But getting back home and saving his friend won’t be easy, as Joshua must face the terrifying Child Collector and fend off ferocious and unnatural beasts intent on destroying him. In this world, Joshua possesses powers he never knew he had, and soon, Joshua’s mission becomes more than a search for his friend. He means to send all the stolen children home—and doing so becomes the battle of his life.

Unicorn Island: Beyond the Portal

By: Donna Galanti

The secrets of Unicorn Island are all revealed in the final book in Epic's middle-grade fantasy series! When Sam and Tuck discover a way to unlock the answers they've been seeking, they must set out to discover the truth... For Sam, knowing a little about her mother's disappearance through the portal is almost worse than knowing nothing at all. Determined to distract herself, she tries to learn everything possible about caring for the herd on Unicorn Island. But when she and her friend Tuck stumble on a coded verse in The Unicorn Protector Creed, they are faced with an even greater task. With no way of knowing what's beyond it, Sam, Tuck, and Barloc the unicorn step through the portal and find that not only is Sam's mother no longer a unicorn protector, she also lives in a world plagued by its own problems--and convinced that the only solution to them rests in the horn on Barloc's head. With the portal closing at sundown on the third day, Sam and Tuck are in a race to rescue their friend, reunite their families, and save another world from a terrible fate of its own making!

The canzone villanesca alla napolitana

Social, Cultural and Historical Contexts

By: Donna G. Cardamone

The printed debut of the canzone villanesca alla napolitana occurred on 24 October 1537, in Naples. Fifteen anonymous 'rustic songs' were published by Johannes de Colonia in a pocket-sized anthology with a cover featuring three women with hoes tilling the soil. The adjective villanesca (from villano or peasant) in the strict sense of the word means rustic or crude, but in this new context it also intimates that Neapolitan poet-musicians had been affected by the instinctive lyrical traditions of everyday people. The articles in this volume trace the Neapolitan origins of this song form, and its subsequent development as it spread quickly throughout Italy in a succession of editions published in Venice and Rome, providing a diverse repertory of lively songs to amuse the privileged that held and attended academies. Several studies focus on key figures in this process, notably Ferrante Sanseverino, Prince of Salerno, and Orlando di Lasso. At the same time the author relates these developments to the contemporary political context, notably the rivalry of Spain and France for control of the Kingdom of Naples.

By: Donna Frownfelter,Elizabeth Dean

Edited by Donna Frownfelter and Elizabeth Dean, recognized leaders in cardiovascular and pulmonary rehabilitation, this resource is ideal for clinicals and for practice. - Evidence-based practice is demonstrated with case studies, and the latest research supports PT decision-making. - Real-life clinical cases show the application of concepts to evidence-based practice. - Holistic approach supports treating the whole person rather than just the symptoms of a disease or disorder, covering medical, physiological, psychological, psychosocial, therapeutic, practical, and methodological aspects. - Coverage includes both primary and secondary cardiovascular and pulmonary conditions. - An integrated approach to oxygen transport demonstrates how the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems function together. - Emphasis on the terminology and guidelines of APTA's Guide to Physical Therapist Practice keeps the book consistent with the standards for practice in physical therapy. - Key terms and review questions in each chapter focus your learning on important concepts. - The Evolve companion website includes additional resources such as a case study guide, Archie animations, color images, video clips, WebLinks, and references with links to MEDLINE abstracts. - Full-color photos and illustrations enhance your understanding of the book's concepts. - Two new Mobilization and Exercise chapters cover physiologic principles along with application to practice. - Information on airway clearance techniques is revised and condensed into one comprehensive chapter. - New reference style makes it easier to find resources by replacing the old author-date references with numbered superscripts linked to MEDLINE abstracts.
