Interpreting Literature With Children

By: Shelby A. Wolf

Clearly organized and beautifully written, Interpreting Literature With Children is a remarkable book that stands on the edge of two textbook genres: the survey of literature text and the literary criticism text. Neither approach, however, says enough about how children respond to literature in everyday classroom situations. That is the mission of this book. It begins by providing a solid foundation in both approaches and then examines multiple ways of developing children's literary interpretation through talk, through culture, class, and gender, as well as through creative modes of expression, including writing, the visual arts, and drama. The result is a balanced resource for teachers who want to deepen their understanding of literature and literary engagement. Because of its modest length and price and its ongoing focus on how to increase student engagement with literature, either pre-service or practicing teachers can use this text in children's literature, language arts, or literacy and language courses.

Of Gods and Kings Part 1

The Wolf and the Valkyrie

By: Logan Shelby

Northern Europe, AD 1107 Aela, the brave and beautiful teen set on joining the ranks of the Valkyries. Ivar, a young and innocent teen, tried and punished for doing what he thought was right. Once both inseparable in their small warrior village of Vassa. Now they are only memories to each other as Ivar runs away to find a better life for himself in a world he doesn’t know or understand. All the while, Aela remains behind to achieve her dreams as a shield-maiden. But as the threat of the cruel and mysterious western king draws ever nearer, both of their worlds will change. As Aela’s world seems to fall apart at the hands of a village she thought she knew, Ivar will come face-to-face with dangerous encounter after dangerous encounter in a deadly new environment. Can they find the strength to overcome these obstacles? Will Aela learn that winning a fight doesn’t make you righteous? Will Ivar hold on to the innocent young man or succumb to a world where injustice seems to thrive? Will Aela ever see her once best friend again, or will he merely be a memory to hold on to? Will Ivar die as the runaway orphan, or will he become something more? This story spans a continent in the early stages of war. It will see characters change and die as mistakes are made and lessons are learned. A story that will see cities rise and kingdoms fall. A story of a young wolf and a brave Valkyrie who will change the world around them.

The Wolf at the Door

By: Graham Shelby

The country needs a strong king in this thrilling historical adventure of The Crusader Knights As Richard Coeur de Lion’s empire crumbles and castle after castle falls to the French, there is one man who can save England – but King John will not send for him. England is in disarray: William Marshal, the King’s battle-scarred champion is left to dally at home with his new wife. King John himself is newly wed to Isabell of Angoulême, who will vie to outdo her husband with cruelty and spite. Called Lackland by some, as a measure of his wealth, Soft-sword by others, as the measure of his military prowess, King John is reckoned a poor choice to succeed his heroic brother, Richard the Lionhearted. But his terrible cunning can strike fear into the heart of the most courageous of men... The fifth fascinating instalment of The Crusader Knights Cycle is perfect for fans of David Gilman and Bernard Cornwell. ‘Vivid visual moments and all the technology of medieval warfare’ Observer

The Civil War: A Narrative

Volume 1: Fort Sumter to Perryville

By: Shelby Foote

This first volume of Shelby Foote's classic narrative of the Civil War opens with Jefferson Davis’s farewell to the United Senate and ends on the bloody battlefields of Antietam and Perryville, as the full, horrible scope of America’s great war becomes clear. Exhaustively researched and masterfully written, Foote’s epic account of the Civil War unfolds like a classic novel. Includes maps throughout. "Here, for a certainty, is one of the great historical narratives…a unique and brilliant achievement, one that must be firmly placed in the ranks of the masters."—Van Allen Bradley, Chicago Daily News "A stunning book full of color, life, character and a new atmosphere of the Civil War, and at the same time a narrative of unflagging power. Eloquent proof that an historian should be a writer above all else." —Burke Davis "To read this great narrative is to love the nation—to love it through the living knowledge of its mortal division. Whitman, who ultimately knew and loved the bravery and frailty of the soldiers, observed that the real Civil War would never be written and perhaps should not be. For me, Shelby Foote has written it.... This work was done to last forever." —James M. Cox, Southern Review

Crimson Kids

By: Shelby Jehn

Just like Romeo and Juliet say, my one true love descends from my one true hate. Werewolves, Vampires, Angels and Witches are all in one world. And when Amanda Sparrow, soon to be leader of the Lycanthropes (werewolves) finds out that a love story for her wont be possible, she tries to hide from it. But when boy after boy, offers her their hearts, she gives up and goes for the boy that she really shouldnt be with, James Jen, a smart, funny, respectable, old fashioned, utterly handsome guy. She tries to make it work with him, but James just happens to be her cultures worst enemy, a vampire. And when she gets kidnapped by the Day Walker Crimsons (good vampires), she finds out that her culture, her mother and everything she even knew was a lie. And the vampires wont let her leave till the Blood Moon is over. Because if the Blood Moon (a ritual that will take place of a baby being born, and will kill all the vampires) and if the Crimsons die there is no way to save the human race. There will just be a massacre of werewolves killing humans. And as Amanda and James try to stay as far away from the Lycanthropes as possible, they find Amanda, and horror strikes the Crimsons.

French Inventions of the Eighteenth Century

By: Shelby T. McCloy

The eighteenth century, age of France's leadership in Western civilization, was also the most flourishing period of French inventive genius. Generally obscured by England's great industrial development are the contributions France made in the invention of the balloon, paper-making machines, the steamboat, the semaphore telegraph, gas illumination, the silk loom, the threshing machine, the fountain pen, and even the common graphite pencil. Shelby T. McCloy believes that these and many other inventions which have greatly influenced technological progress made prerevolutionary France the rival, if not the leader, of England. In his book McCloy analyzes the factors that led to France's inventive activity in the eighteenth century. He also advances reasons for France's failure to profit from her inventive prowess at a time when England's inventions were being put to immediate and practical use.

Love in a Dry Season

By: Shelby Foote

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Love in a Dry Season

By: Shelby Foote

Shelby Foote's magnificently orchestrated novel anticipates much of the subject matter of his monumental Civil War trilogy, rendering the clash between North and South with a violence all the more shocking for its intimacy. Love in a Dry Season describes an erotic and economic triangle, in which two wealthy and fantastically unhappy Mississippi families—the Barcrofts and the Carrutherses—are joined by an open-faced fortune hunter from the North, a man whose ruthlessness is matched only by his inability to understand the people he tries to exploit and his fatal incomprehension of the passions he so casually ignites. Combining a flawless sense of place with a Faulknerian command of the grotesque, Foote's novel turns a small cotton town into a sexual battleground as fatal as Vicksburg or Shiloh—and one where strategy is no match for instinct and tradition.
