"Come to my side of town."

The students of Ballou High School know a different Washington, DC than do the more than 18 million tourists who visit our nation's capital each year. They live in Southeast DC, across the Anacostia River, and the tour buses don't go through their neighborhoods. Some travel guides explicitly call the communities East of the River "areas to avoid." Even some residents of the District don't often visit Wards 7 and 8, as the river acts as not only a literal boundary, but a metaphorical one. The bridge that should connect these two Washingtons...

Dear reader,

Sharing this letter was very difficult for me being that it's extremely personal. Although it was written many years ago, the process of doing so required me to step completely outside of my comfort zone (which I don't do often). As I typed each word and reminded myself of the bigger picture, I prayed for every set of hands that will ever come in contact with this book. I may or may not know you personally, but yes, I've prayed for you. God sees you, He knows you and He loves you so much more than you could ever even imagine. That's all it takes. Therefore, I've asked...

The 1862 Bartenders Guide is the FIRST cocktail book, in its FIRST version, now in an affordable reprint as it first appeared, in Hardback.

It was first known as -How to Mix Drinks, or the Bon Vivant's Companion- and published in 1862 with -A Manual for the Manufacture of Cordials, Liquors, Fancy Syrups, etc, etc- by Christian Schultz appended at the back, since any good bartender was supposed to know how to both mix and make.

Today's parents feel pressured to spend "quality time" preparing their child for success in school and life. This landmark book shows parents how and why everyday moments they share with their child, for instance preparing and eating dinner, giving the child a bath, and changing a child's diaper, are the most valuable educational activities of all.

Stuff Teens and Young Adults Need to Know is just good old-fashioned grandmotherly advice for teens and adolescents. It provides some common sense answers to the questions they want to ask, as well as, down to earth honest experiences both suffered and cherished by the author.

This book draws on a wealth of evidence including young people's own stories, to document how they are now faring in increasingly unequal societies like America, Britain, Australia, France and Spain. It points to systematic generational inequality as those born since 1980 become the first generation to have a lower standard of living than previous generations. While governments and experts typically explain this by referring to globalisation, new technologies, or young people's deficits, the authors of this book offer a new political economy of generations which identifies the central role...

The much heralded growth and transformation of many economies in sub-Saharan Africa over the last decade continues to receive prominent attention in academic scholarship and among policy practitioners. An apparent feature about this transformation, however, is that Africa s youth appear to have been left out. This book critically examines the extent and consequences of the marginalization of African youth. It questions conventional wisdoms about data trends, aspirational goals, and common policy interventions surrounding Africa s youth that have been variously propagated in both the...
