From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt's cartoonist and
award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely
gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and
each other. At the Dalai Lama's residence in Dharamsala, India, an
unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning
meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many
miles to see him. Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites
the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of
the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and
small . . . With a galvanizing message about the future of our
planet-text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell's masterful
illustrations-Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution,
reminding us that "we are indeed all members of a single family,
sharing one little house." Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth,
this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all
the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a
message of joy, hope and change. "There are only two days in the
year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is
called Tomorrow."

Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of
sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance
of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social
mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey
of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family
backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size,
the survey was unique among non-governmental Australian studies. It
went beyond the findings of earlier surveys, giving broader
understanding of social mobility and stratification. The book sets
out the processes by which Australians have found their place in
the world of work in the 20th Century. Factors tending to enhance
or frustrate attainment are identified and the degree to which
Australia is an egalitarian society is assessed.
The second book in Abrams’ Marvel Arts line, featuring the work
of beloved Mutts creator Patrick McDonnell and the greatest super
heroes of the Marvel Universe “The miracle is not to fly in the
air, or to walk on the water, but to walk on the earth.†—Thich
Nhat Hanh The Super Hero’s Journey is unlike anything you have
ever read. Imbued with the creativity, artwork, and heart of
Patrick McDonnell, the beloved creator of the comic strip Mutts,
this all-new graphic novel features classic Marvel super heroes
including the Fantastic Four, the Incredible Hulk, Captain America,
Black Panther, and Spider-Man, and is the synthesis of
McDonnell’s positive, inspirational sensibility and Marvel’s
blockbuster brand. Using the Marvel Universe as avatars, McDonnell
muses on how comics changed his life and inspired him to become a
cartoonist, instilling a moral sensibility that he carries through
his work and his life. We begin with the Watcher—a being who
exists outside the planes of space and time, who sees every moment
that has happened, will happen, or is happening throughout the
cosmos—as he observes Earth and the inner burdens of the Marvel
super heroes. As the Watcher observes the villainous plans of Dr.
Doom, who is harnessing the power of the Negative Zone and slowly
spreading its negativity across our planet and destroying the human
spirit, Mr. Fantastic is led on a meta journey that takes him
through the pages of classic comic books and across scenes familiar
and unexpected, including the Commercial Zone, which is filled with
advertisements for “stuff†and wonders of the imagination only
to deliver disappointment and false promises. Ultimately, our
heroes discover a zen solution in an unexpected fashion—one that
aligns this book with the inspiring messages of McDonnell’s other
beloved and award-winning books—leaving readers with a renewed
sense of love, hope, and redemption. “If the stars should appear
but one night every thousand years, how man would marvel and
stare.†—Ralph Waldo Emerson Visually striking—The Super
Hero’s Journey includes panels from classic Marvel comics as a
tribute by McDonnell to the stories he grew up reading, and to his
heroes—Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, and Steve Ditko, creators of the
Marvel Universe—alongside inspirational quotes from Eckhart
Tolle, Thoreau, and others, all of which deliver upon the promise
of the Marvel Arts line to tell stories where “nothing is
impossible and anything can happen.â€
