Paperback. Condizione: Good. Enter the Land of Metrica where the SI Metric Kids go on a water adventure that leaves them with a huge problem. They embark on their journey the same day the water department prepares to drain all the water in the river to prepare for a more modern water facility and a dam. They had no idea Unfortunately, this leaves them marooned in an unknown territory where the ogre, Dradnats, lives. The SI Metric Measurement Kids belong to three families: Mr. and Mrs. Meter, Mr. and Mrs. Liter, and Mr. and Mrs. Gram. Each family has the same names for their daughters: Milli, Centi, and Deci. They have the same names for their sons: Deka, Hecto, and Kilo. This makes eighteen kids facing the daunting task of how to get back to their parents and escape Dradnats The Millis are the first to tackle the problem. They put a milliliter of water and a milligram of sand under their raft hoping to propel their boat across the sun-baked river bottom. The vessel moves forward a millimeter. Each set of cousins finds more water and more sand, but the raft just won't go far enough One set of brothers finally solves the problem but just in the nick of time. Dradnats, the ogre, is running toward all of them eager to bring them back to his cave We, in the United States, are now finding so many products that show SI metric measurements of the meter, liter, and gram. We see the variations (such as mm, cg, dL to name a few). Many of our industries here in the U.S. are using SI for trade/commerce. Yet, most adults and children do not have a full understanding of what these abbreviations mean. With each prefix either increasing 10X or getting 10X smaller, the reader will soon discover how this pattern makes the understanding of the prefixes and conversions in this measurement system so much easier. This book has it all. There is a story which is very easy to remember and two charts which greatly help remembering the prefixes and how to convert. Lots of activities and guided practice are provided -- starting with very easy problems and graduating to harder ones. The author has taken much time on the printed page to give step by step directions all the way in making sure one can memorize all the parts to the meter, liter, and gram, and tackle conversions very easily. About 95% of the world has changed over completely or partially to the System of International Units (SI). This is their preferred system of measurement. Yet, we, in the United States, do not have SI as our preferred measurement system. We continue to use Standard/Customary. Although the meter, liter, and gram are just a subset of the larger measurement system of SI, the author believes that knowing about the meter, liter, and gram is a good place to start; hence, the focus of this book is just on the three. There is no children's book out there that shows the concept of a family with the proportions CORRECTLY stated. The author mentions several times that big brother, Kilo, is a million times bigger than his smallest sister, Milli. This presented a problem to the author -- how can an ogre (or person for that matter) SEE all of them if they are a million times different in size? But, the author solved the problem. The illustrations are done by a most talented artist and add so much to the story and the activities/problems. Visit www.rivard.art to see some of her amazing illustrations. Every day, no matter what our age, we should learn something. This is your chance to learn all about the meter, the liter, and the gram. Rivard, Lisa (illustratore).…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. The unillusioned, effervescent new collection by David Rivard, whose poetry "leaves me with a desire to be permanently friends with this mysterious kind of grace" (Tomaz Salamun) That the sun stands apart from all that it abuts, unwilling to judge it, may be our only real hope. --from "We Either Do or Don't, But the Problem Evolves Anyway" InSugartown, David Rivard's fourth collection, the poems unwind with the speed of urgent talk, detailing with mischievous humor and fierce candor the catch-as-catch-can experience of American existence. Language and merchandise pass over us in continual feed, and Rivard adeptly, subtly renders this predicament and its costs, while offering in these poems the alternative of paying attention--to one's self, to others, to the seemingly misbegotten world. The shards of experiences inSugartown are glimpsed out of the corner of one's eye, in a blur of speed. The shapes are often familiar: the happy candy of cell-phone chatter, menus built to comfort the wealthy, emotions turned into intellectual property rights. Underneath this stream of experience, and traveling at exactly the same speed, is the clarity and surprise that our lives--our small triumphs and failures--seem to matter so much more than anyone would have expected.…

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. In December 1998, San Antonio Express-News reporter Philip True vanished during a solo backcountry trek in western Mexico, home of the reclusive Huichol Indians and the Chapalagana, the Twisted Serpent Canyon, a 150-mile long gash that twists and plunges through the heart of the Sierra Madre. Five days later his editor, Robert Rivard, was part of a small search party that, nearly miraculously, tracked a trail of feathers that had leaked from True's sleeping bag to find his body. Trail of Feathers is the story of the search for True and of the quest to bring his killers to justice. It is also the story of another perplexing mystery: Why had True taken such a dangerous trip, into such a raw, uncivilized wilderness, alone and without sufficient safety preparations, in the first place? After an unhappy and unsettled youth, True was at the age of fifty finally settling down to a career and a wife he loved. His first child was about to be born. What was he running from, or to? Rivard's search for answers to these questions leads him deep into the Sierra Madre Occidental, one of Mexico's last true wildernesses, and deep into the secrets of Philip True's past. It also leads him into his own past, and an acknowledgment of the ways in which his life and True's mirrored each other. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and moving, Trail of Feathers is more than a true crime tale it's a classic tragedy about how the past reverberates destructively into the present , for individuals, for cultures, for nations.…
