From an inauspicious start as a muddy backwater of Imperial Spain to a globalrading economy, Colin M. Lewis traces the rise and fall of Argentina in thisuthoritative history. At the heart of this survey is the theme of paradox:hy has a country with such enormous economic potential, and such cultralophistication, suffered so badly in recent years?

English Hours: A Portrait of a Country
Henry James left America for England in 1876 and remained in his adopted country for the next three decades. Arriving in Liverpool, he made his way first to London, the “dreadful, delightful city” that he would come to both love and hate. James reveled in the exoticism and immensity of all that was unknown to him, and his writing spills over with youthful excitement, humor, and vivid descriptions of the people, landscapes, towns, and cities he encountered.

The Love of a King (Bookworms Stage 2)
Peter Dainty
All he wanted to do was to marry the woman he loved. But his country said 'No!'
He was Edward VIII, King of Great Britain, King of India, King of Australia, and King of thirty-nine other countries. And he loved the wrong woman. She was beautiful and she loved him - but she was already married to another man. It was a love story that shook the world. The King had to choose: to be King, or to have love . . . and leave his country, never to return.

Illustrated in full color. In this playful introduction to maps and geography, step by simple step, a young girl shows readers herself on a map of her room, her room on the map of her house, her house on the map of her street--all the way to her country on a map of the world. Once the reader is familiar with the maps, she demonstrates how readers can find their own country, state, and town--all the way back to their room--on each colorful map. Easy-to-read text, bright artwork, and charming details give children a lot to search for and will have them eager to help navigate on the next family vacation.
