See the US Constitution in a new light with this bold, modern and
accessible illustrated guide to the document that helped define
democracy. With the unprecedented events and actions that have
tested the American political system over the last several years,
including the violent overtaking of the U.S. Capitol Building,
there has never been a better time to take a closer look at the
Constitution, the bedrock of U.S. politics. As part of the critical
discussion of current events at school and at home, inquisitive
minds will have their questions vividly answered - and new ones
raised - by a mix of striking illustrations and clear, engaging
text, including passages from the Constitution given in plain
English. As well as a detailed history covering the original
Constitution, the Bill of Rights and all Amendments, discover how
this milestone in American democracy shapes and is shaped by the
world at large. We The People shows that, far from a fusty old
piece of paper, the US Constitution is a living, evolving rule book
that is as relevant today as it has ever been. A fresh take on a
monumental document, navigating in style its history and its life
today. Excerpts from the Constitution are presented here in plain
English to help young thinkers better understand the role it plays
in everyday life. Accessible, energetic text accompanied by
contemporary, powerful illustrations allows children aged 10 and
older to re-think the Constitution in a totally new way. A balanced
examination that does not shy away from addressing the difficulties
of interpreting and adapting the Constitution for the modern world.
We The People takes the Constitution out of its display case, blows
off the dust and re-imagines this piece of history for the next
generation.

A body odyssey with guts, attitude and a bellyful of laughs. Get
ready for a madcap marathon through fact and fiction, adventure and
enlightenment, mix-ups and makeovers, inside and out. Jake and
Sally have a typically dysfunctional relationship, and it's all
fairly civilized ...on the outside. Inside Jake's body, however,
chaos reigns. Here, we meet the feisty, frustrated characters that
run the body's organs, grappling with indigestion, toxic overload,
arterial congestion, parasites, sexual mishaps, emotional baggage
and, finally, a coronary-which marks an important turning point for
Jake, a high-flying exec who's neglected his health. These gutsy
unsung heroes are constantly in crisis as they try to keep Jake's
body running smoothly. Their hilarious antics have them squabbling,
suffering burnout, going for therapy, messing with the brain's top
secret files, and being downright neurotic-until one of them has an
encounter with the soul. There's transformation inside and out,
with Jake making so many changes that Sally can't cope, and the
inside characters having epiphanies and an emotional shakedown that
results in multiple staff redundancies ...and a rather interesting
climax. You'll laugh as you learn ...about the nutritional,
emotional, physical and spiritual challenges of your amazing bod
and all the miraculous mechanisms that you take so much for
granted. With the growing worldwide trend towards greater
self-responsibility, this is the perfect gift for someone you
love-or someone who just doesn't get out much.
This is a practical guide to self-empowerment, featuring 52 themes
(one for every week of the year) and offering simple,
transformative steps for resolving conflict, positively
reprogramming your mind, making powerful choices, and creating more
love, money, ease, success and fulfillment in your life. Upgrade
your relationships, finances and business; fill in your 'missing
pieces'; activate your creativity; and enhance your self-worth and
personal magnetism.
