Such fun kids won't even know they're learning!
What is this thing called love? What color is it and what shape? Is
it sweet or savory? Is it big or small? Like a lot of kids, Emma
would really like to know. The problem is: everyone Emma asks--Mom,
Dad, Grandma, and Grandad--seems to have a different idea of what
love is. Can love really be in a piece of cake or a game of
football? It seems there's a lot more to this love thing than Emma
ever imagined! In this entertaining and ultimately touching tale of
questions and answers, Davide Cali and Anna Laura Cantone remind us
that, for a child, the most important love is that which lies at
the heart of your own family.

Discover Little Pea's debut in this gentle, joyous story about
embracing what makes us uniqueLittle Pea was born tiny, but with
big aspirations. As he grows up, he loves to climb, explore, swim,
daydream-just like any other kid his age. But when Little Pea
starts school, the realization of how small he is sets in.
Suddenly, he's too small to sit at his desk, play the flute, or
even join classmates at recess. What will become of Little Pea?
The past few decades have witnessed an increase in the number
international human rights treaties, their incorporation into
domestic jurisdictions as well as the proliferation of wider public
discourse on human rights. 'Human rights' has taken centre stage as
an international political goal, however much of this talk is
actually about human rights law.
This book starts from a new and provocative premise: that the
relationship between human rights and their legal expression is not
a straightforward one, but needs to be examined more closely. The
volume, therefore, scrutinises the extent to which legalisation
shapes the human rights ideal, and surveys its ethical, political
and practical repercussions. The expert contributors to the volume
approach these issues from a variety of different perspectives:
political theory/moral theory, anthropology, sociology,
international law, international politics and political science and
demonstrate a diversity of methodologies.
This book invites students and researchers of human rights to
question the gap between human rights as a moral and political
concept, and human rights law, provoking the reader to consider the
possibilities of deliberation on human rights outside of their
legal manifestations.

Sehrengiz is an Ottoman genre of poetry written in honor of various
cities and provincial towns of the Ottoman Empire from the early
sixteenth century to the early eighteenth century. This book
examines the urban culture of Ottoman Istanbul through Sehrengiz,
as the Ottoman space culture and traditions have been shaped by a
constant struggle between conflicting groups practicing political
and religious attitudes at odds. By examining real and imaginary
gardens, landscapes and urban spaces and associated ritualized
traditions, the book questions the formation of Ottoman space
culture in relation to practices of orthodox and heterodox Islamic
practices and imperial politics. The study proposes that Azehrengiz
was a subtext for secret rituals, performed in city spaces,
carrying dissident ideals of Melami mysticism; following after the
ideals of the thirteenth century Sufi philosopher Ibn al-'Arabi who
proposed a theory of 'creative imagination' and a three-tiered
definition of space, the ideal, the real and the intermediary
(barzakh). In these rituals, marginal groups of guilds emphasized
the autonomy of individual self, and suggested a novel proposition
that the city shall become an intermediary space for reconciling
the orthodox and heterodox worlds. In the early eighteenth century,
liminal expressions of these marginal groups gave rise to new urban
rituals, this time adopted by the Ottoman court society and by
affluent city dwellers and expressed in the poetry of NedA (R)m.
The author traces how a tradition that had its roots in the early
sixteenth century as a marginal protest movement evolved until the
early eighteenth century as a movement of urban space reform.
The latest book in Davide Cali and Benjamin Chaud's internationally
acclaimed I Didn't Do My Homework Because . . . series is out of

a spaceship jam. Then there's the moon detour, the Mars alien
exploration, and a stop on the gravity-defying International Space
Station. And that's just the beginning! Henry and Ali want to get
their homework done-they really do! But how are they supposed to
study the solar system when they seem to be swept up in an endless
series of interstellar surprises? From Davide Cali and Benjamin
Chaud, the author-illustrator team behind I Didn't Do My Homework
Because . . ., comes an action-packed, entertaining tale about
trying to get your homework done, whether you're in-or out-of this

The history of political events is made by people. From wars to
elections to political protests, the choices we make, our actions,
how we behave, dictate events. Not all individuals have the same
impact on our world and our lives. Some peoples' choices alter the
pathways that history takes. In particular, national chief
executives play a large role in forging the destinies of the
countries they lead. Why Leaders Fight is about those world leaders
and how their beliefs, world views, and tolerance for risk and
military conflict are shaped by their life experiences before they
enter office - military, family, occupation, and more. Using
in-depth research on important leaders and the largest set of data
on leader backgrounds ever gathered, the authors of Why Leaders
Fight show that - within the constraints of domestic political
institutions and the international system - who ends up in office
plays a critical role in determining when and why countries go to
war.
