Doris Walker (Maureen O'Hara), an executive at Macy's department
store, believes in taking a common-sense approach to life and is
consequently raising her daughter Susan (Natalie Wood) not to
believe in Santa Claus. This year however, the convictions of both
mother and child are challenged when the kindly old man (Edmund
Gwenn) hired as the store Santa insists that he is in fact the real
thing. No one believes him, some even think he's insane, but he is
willing to go to court to prove his case. Oscars were won by Edmund
Gwenn (Best Supporting Actor) and George Seaton (Best Screenplay)
and the film was remade in 1994 with Richard Attenborough in the
lead.

How do scientists share ideas across the world? Mole and Tell gives
kids their first taste of universal standards of measurement,
teaching them about scientific notation in a way that's fun and
easy to understand. Mr. Cantello's classroom is full of lively
characters who ask the same questions a young reader is
wondering--like how can a mole of sugar be larger than a mole of
water, and how is it possible to measure something smaller than you
can see? Mole and Tell introduces readers to concepts like the
periodic table, molar mass, elements, and of course, moles. Using
the familiar activity Show and Tell, readers will explore several
different measurements of moles. The story is grounded in fact and
shows kids how science is used in the real world. Written by
authors with years of experience working with children, this book
is a snapshot of the dream classroom experience. After finishing
this book, readers will look forward to having a Mole Day
celebration of their own!

A new version of John Payne's Victorian translation, with an
Introduction by Cormac O Cuilleanain. 1348. The Black Death is
sweeping through Europe. In Florence, plague has carried off one
hundred thousand people. In their Tuscan villas, seven young women
and three young men tell tales to recreate the world they have
lost, weaving a rich tapestry of comedy, tragedy, ribaldry and
farce. Boccaccio's Decameron recasts the storytelling heritage of
the ancient and medieval worlds into perennial forms that inspired
writers from Chaucer and Shakespeare down to our own day. Boccaccio
makes the incredible believable, with detail so sharp we can look
straight into the lives of people who lived six hundred years ago.
His Decameron hovers between the fading glories of an aristocratic
past - the Crusades, the Angevins, the courts of France, the
legendary East - and the colourful squalor of contemporary life,
where wives deceive husbands, friars and monks pursue fleshly ends,
and natural instincts fight for satisfaction. Here are love and
jealousy, passion and pride - and a shrewd calculation of profit
and loss which heralds the rise of a dynamic merchant class. These
stories show us early capitalism during a moment of crisis and
revelation.
A chronicle of the "life," times, and travels of the famous
puppets, this survey examines Punch and Judy's moral and cultural
significance as well as the people who played them behind the
curtain. Scholarly yet entertaining, it includes 30 illustrations
by Victorian artist George Cruikshank, Dickens' illustrator of
choice.

Uncovering the roots of behavior patterns by seeking out the truth.
Enriched by numerous case studies and years of client experience,
this book guides readers to move beyond the tangled web of stories
they tell themselves and others about their lives, relationships,
illnesses, and disruptive life patterns. Step-by-step, the chapters
uncover the origins of behaviors and feelings such as drug or
alcohol addiction, failed careers, and depression. Hidden loyalties
to people and ideas are introduced as the underlying causes of
these obstacles, which cloud the path to success and cause people
to believe the stories they tell themselves, eventually losing
touch with the truth. Through the examples in this book, readers
will learn to acknowledge and embrace truth, spelling out the
explicit facts and rejecting the fictions they have created to
excuse their failings.
