Revolutionary Russia: A History in Documents provides a visually
stimulating survey of revolutionary Russia, from the collapse of
the autocracy in 1917 to the consolidation of the Stalinist system
in the 1930s. Authors Robert Weinberg and Laurie Bernstein have
collected far-flung documents--many available in English for the
first time--and woven them into a narrative that focuses on the
effort to build communism in Russia and its effects on the lives of
ordinary people. Providing introductions to each chapter and
document along with sidebars and detailed photo captions, the main
text tantalizes readers with the great vision, conflict, hopes, and
horrors of this much-mythologized part of modern history, while the
back matter offers resources for further exploration.

Phenylketonuria (pronounced fee-nill-key-toe-NURR-ee-uh) or PKU is a rare, inherited metabolic disorder. Each year, approximately 1 in 14,000 newborn babies are diagnosed with PKU. If you have PKU, your body cannot break down, or metabolize, the essential amino acid, phenylalanine (Phe). Amino acids are the building blocks of protein. The primary treatment for PKU is a special metabolic formula and the restriction of foods high in Phe (protein), such as meats, cheeses, milk, bread and pasta. Life-long dietary compliance is a critical component for proper growth and development in children and quality of life in adults. We hope Penny The Penguin can help your child on this "diet for life" journey.
"The thoughtful memoirs of a disillusioned daughter of the Russian Revolution.... A sometimes astonishing, worm s-eye view of life under totalitarianism, and a valuable contribution to Soviet and Jewish studies." Kirkus Reviews "In this engrossing memoir, Leder recounts the 34 years she lived in the U.S.S.R.... She] has a marvelous memory for the details of everyday life.... This plainly written account will particularly appeal to readers with a general interest in women s memoirs, Russian culture and history, and leftist politics." Publishers Weekly In 1931, Mary M. Leder, an American teenager, was attending high school in Santa Monica, California. By year s end, she was living in a Moscow commune and working in a factory, thousands of miles from her family, with whom she had emigrated to Birobidzhan, the area designated by the USSR as a Jewish socialist homeland. Although her parents soon returned to America, Mary, who was not permitted to leave, would spend the next 34 years in the Soviet Union. My Life in Stalinist Russia chronicles Leder s experiences from the extraordinary perspective of both an insider and an outsider. Readers will be drawn into the life of this independent-minded young woman, coming of age in a society that she believed was on the verge of achieving justice for all but which ultimately led her to disappointment and disillusionment. Leder s absorbing memoir presents a microcosm of Soviet history and an extraordinary window into everyday life and culture in the Stalin era."
