The award-winning author of Kitten and the Night Watchman is back
with an inspiring and poignant picture book about a boy learning
the self-confidence to fulfill his dream of dancing in front of his
peers. The only audience shy, quiet Stanley dances in front of is
his pet mice, Squeaker and Nibbles. He also practices when he's

should be shared," encourages Principal Reynolds. Can Stanley find

A dozen papers selected from a May 1994 workshop in Minneapolis
document the potential of using computers and computer graphics to
study a wide range of open questions in geometry. Among the topics

The dictionary expands on the original idea of Karttunen and
Lockhart to map the usage of loans in Nahuatl, by using a much
larger and diversified corpus of sources, and by including
contextual use, missing in earlier studies. Most importantly, these
sources enrich the colonial corpus with modern data - significantly
expanding on our knowledge on language continuity and change.
This book offers a Christian engagement with the realities of
academic life and work. Examining this topic from intellectual,
institutional and spiritual perspectives, the author explores how
the two identities - as a Christian and an academic - can both
coexist and complement one another. The author provides a 'road
map' for academics demonstrating the interaction between religious
faith and the responsibilities, challenges and opportunities of
university scholarship and teaching. Addressing questions such as
the contentious nature of religious faith in the university
environment, the expression of faith within the role of professor,
and the consequences of consecrating oneself to learning, this
pioneering and practical volume will be relevant to Christian
scholars in any academic discipline.

A stray kitten changes the way the watchman sees nighttime in this
tender book based on a true story, illustrated by Strictly No Elephants
artist Taeeun Yoo.
The night watchman hugs his wife and kids and drives to work.
All night he is alone.
Every hour he makes his rounds.
He sees the stars twinkling. He hears the sounds of the night:
ki-DEE ki-DEE ki-DEE
shhhhheeeeeEEEERRRROOOOooooommmmmm
Woof! Woof! Woof!
Meeeoooow.
When he is joined by a stray kitten, the night suddenly seems
different. Has the kitten found a new home?
Kitten and the Night Watchman is inspired by the true story of author
John Sullivan meeting a stray cat while working as a night watchman.
The cat, Beebe, was John’s companion for seventeen years.
This book is the first full-length study of the Nova Reperta (New
Discoveries), a renowned series of prints designed by Johannes
Stradanus during the late 1580s in Florence. Reproductions of the
prints, essays, conversations from a scholarly symposium, and
catalogue entries complement a Newberry Library exhibition that
tells the story of the design, conception, and reception of
Stradanus's engravings. Renaissance Invention: Stradanus's 'Nova
Reperta' seeks to understand why certain inventions or novelties
were represented in the series and how that presentation reflected
and fostered their adoption in the sixteenth century. What can
Stradanus's prints tell us about invention and cross-cultural
encounter in the Renaissance? What was considered 'new' in the era?
Who created change and technological innovation? Through images of
group activities and interactions in workshops, Stradanus's prints
emphasize the importance of collaboration in the creation of new
things, dispelling traditional notions of individual genius. The
series also dismisses the assumption that the revival of the
wonders of the ancient world in Italy was the catalyst for
transformation. In fact, the Latin captions on the prints explain
how contemporary inventions surpass those of the ancients.
Together, word and image foreground the global nature of invention
and change in the early modern period even as they promote
specifically Florentine interests and activities.
