The instant New York Times bestseller featured on NPR's Weekend Edition with Scott Simon! B. J. Novak (bestselling author of The Book With No Pictures) described this groundbreaking poetry collection as "Smart and sweet, wild and wicked, brilliantly funny--it's everything a book for kids should be." Lauded by critics as a worthy heir to such greats as Silverstein, Seuss, Nash and Lear, Harris's hilarious debut molds wit and wordplay, nonsense and oxymoron, and visual and verbal sleight-of-hand in masterful ways that make you look at the world in a whole new wonderfully upside-down way. With enthusiastic endorsements from bestselling luminaries such as Lemony Snicket, Judith Viorst, Andrea Beaty, and many others, this entirely unique collection offers a surprise around every corner. Adding to the fun: Lane Smith, bestselling creator of beloved hits like It's a Book and The Stinky Cheese Man and Other Fairly Stupid Tales, has spectacularly illustrated this extraordinary collection with nearly one hundred pieces of appropriately absurd art. It's a mischievous match made in heaven! "Ridiculous, nonsensical, peculiar, outrageous, possibly deranged--and utterly, totally, absolutely delicious. Read it! Immediately!" --Judith Viorst, bestselling author of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

In addition to classic concoctions like a Mint Julep, Prince of Wales Punch, and Ginger Beer, this collection features character-specific variations such as Downton Heir, Turkish Attaché, The Valet, and The Chauffeur. The recipes reflect drinks concocted and served upstairs and down, as well as libations from village fairs, cocktail parties, and restaurant menus typical of the time. The book also includes tips, historical trivia, and over forty color photographs featuring cocktails and cast members.

Ce premier vrai dictionnaire de l'école élémentaire offre des définitions simples mais rigoureuses, des exemples qui sont le reflet de l'univers familier des enfants et des compléments d'information sur le monde. Rédigé dans le respect des objectifs fondamentaux définis par les programmes, il contribue à la compréhension de notions indispensables comme le repérage dans l'espace et dans le temps ou comme la vie en société. Mais le Larousse des Débutants est avant tout le dictionnaire qui accompagne l'enfant dans sa découverte de la langue écrite et qui lui donne les moyens de développer ses capacités d'expression, grâce : à l'abondance des mots définis (mots du vocabulaire courant, mais aussi mots plus rares, issus de contes, comptines et chansons) ; à la place accordée aux mots-outils, indispensables pour construire des phrases ; à la présence de très nombreux synonymes et contraires ; aux renvois analogiques et aux renvois vers les planches illustrées qui apportent un vocabulaire supplémentaire ; à l'illustration, conçue pour susciter la découverte des mots, l'observation de situations ou d'activités et provoquer ainsi le commentaire oral et le passage de l'oral à l'écrit. Pour bien préparer l'accès aux classes suivantes, le Larousse des Débutants initie aux notions de famille de mots et de niveau de langue, attire l'attention sur les difficultés d'orthographe, de prononciation et sur les mots à ne pas confondre même s'ils se ressemblent. Tout en couleurs : 6 200 mots, 750 dessins, 32 pages de planches thématiques illustrées et, en annexe, les lettres et les autres signes d'écriture, les sons, les conjugaisons, un atlas.

Jacques Derrida and the Institution of French Philosophy

Genre: Philosophy
ISBN: 1351194895

"Jacques Derrida (1930-2004) was unquestionably one of the most celebrated and reviled French thinkers of the last thirty years. Outside France his influence in comparative literature circles, through deconstruction and other ideas, has been so profound that his personal role as a leader of contemporary French philosophy has been almost overlooked. Perhaps because there is no equivalent in English-speaking countries to the timetabling of philosophy in the French education system, writers on Derrida outside France have not fully appreciated the importance of this political and cultural struggle. In this ground-breaking book, Orchard examines a hard-fought debate of great importance not only to Derrida himself, but also to France's idea of what studying 'philosophy' might mean after the student uprisings of 1968."
