"In soccer and baseball, each player has their own job. They each do their part to contribute to the team. Teamwork is also important outside of sports. We use teamwork in our classroom, in our community, and at home with our family. In this book, readers are presented with different scenarios in which young people use teamwork to achieve a certain goal: When Nicole's neighbor becomes ill, everyone in the neighborhood takes on a job with the goal of helping their neighbor. Each spread contains a color photo that will teach readers the importance and rewards of working as a team"--

Since the end of the Second World War, the United States has sunk hundreds of billions of dollars into foreign economies in the hope that its investments would help remake the world in its own image - or, at the very least, make the world "safe for democracy." So far, the returns have been disappointing, to say the least. Pushing for fair and free elections in undemocratic countries has added to the casualty count, rather than taken away from it, and trying to eliminate corruption entirely has precluded the elimination of some of the worst forms of corruption. In the Middle East, for example, post-9/11 interventionist campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq have proved to be long, costly, and, worst of all, ineffective. Witnessing the failure of the utopian vision of a world full of market-oriented democracies, many observers, both on the right and the left, have begun to embrace a dystopian vision in which the United States can do nothing and save no one. Accordingly, calls to halt all assistance in undemocratic countries have grown louder. But, as Stephen D. Krasner explains, this cannot be an option: weak and poorly governed states pose a threat to our stability. In the era of nuclear weapons and biological warfare, ignoring troubled countries puts millions of American lives at risk.

"There are a million ABC books for kids out there (and some even for adults!), but surprisingly, very few are about the universal topic of love. The ABCs of Love combines two evergreen categories: alphabet and, of course, love! From A to Z, express your love to the ones most precious to you in the whole world!"--

"This book examines the role of dominance of market economy in the convergence of conservative and liberal ideologies. It also explores how the emphasis on performance in governance also contributed to the diminishing role of ideology in neoliberal party system"--
