Gracia venidera: El poder purificador de las promesas de Dios / Future Grace: The Purifying Power of the Promises of God

&ldquo;A&#160;haunting and harrowing indictment of the deep psychological damage inflicted by the nation&rsquo;s punitive structures&hellip; Montross is a gifted, often compelling storyteller&hellip; [a] significant achievement. I hope that she successfully pricks the nation&rsquo;s conscience about our shameful punishment of mental illness. It is impossible to read her captivating account without concluding that our various departments of corrections are themselves in intense need of correcting.&rdquo;&mdash;Justin Driver, New York Times Book Review&#160;&ldquo;Revelatory&hellip;[An] eye-opening, powerful demonstration of the profound structural problems with mass incarceration in the U.S.&rdquo; &ndash;&#160;Kirkus&#160;(starred review)&#160;&ldquo;&#160;Impeccably researched&hellip;.Offers practical solutions, including changes to the probation and parole systems that would give the formerly incarcerated better resources for getting their lives back on track, and mandatory periodic mental health evaluations for all inmates. This eye-opening call for reform exposes an overlooked crisis in America&rsquo;s prisons.&rdquo;&mdash;Publishers Weekly"&lsquo;What the eye does not see the heart cannot feel,&rsquo; the saying goes. In this vivid account, Dr. Montross takes us to see close-up her encounters with a tiny percent of the 350,000 mentally ill people in U.S. prisons and jails. What are these anguished souls doing there? They need healing help and a place of safety, not a punishing environment, quick to maintain order with tear gas, beatings, solitary confinement...or with unconscionable neglect. In my 30 plus years of prison work, I've met all too many of these trapped, suffering souls. Let us trust in the goodness of our citizens, that moved by Dr. Montross's vivid witness, eyes will see and hearts will feel to shoulder the urgent reform of a system long in need of radical change.&rdquo;&mdash;Sister Helen Prejean, author of&#160;Dead Man Walking&ldquo;An uncommonly beautiful writer, Dr. Christine Montross brings a scientist&rsquo;s rigor and a clinician&rsquo;s compassion to her examination of the profoundly broken U.S. incarceration system.&#160;Waiting For an Echo&#160;lays bare the appalling human suffering that occurs every day in our prisons and jails&mdash;and points us toward a better way.&rdquo;&mdash;David C. Fathi, Director of the American Civil Liberties Union National Prison Project&ldquo;Waiting for an Echo&#160;&#160;is a towering indictment, a shocking expose, and somehow also an elegiac ode to those that society has left behind. Christine Montross, a psychiatrist, writes from inside the ranks of our broken mental health system, but she does so with a poet's eye, bringing to life the human toll behind the horrifying statistics. The result is a rallying cry that is both personal and universal&mdash;and, hopefully, one that we will not be able to ignore.&rdquo;&mdash;Susannah Cahalan, author of&#160;The Great Pretender&#160;and&#160;Brain on Fire&ldquo;Waiting for an Echo is an amazing and accurate account of what our criminal legal system has evolved into. Capturing both problems and solutions, Dr. Montross takes us all around the globe to give examples of what works, what doesn&rsquo;t work, and why. This book should&#160;be should be required reading for all judges, district attorneys and correctional officers.&rdquo;&mdash;Susan Burton, Founder and Executive Director of A New Way of Life Reentry Project&#160;and author of Becoming Ms. Burton &#160; &ldquo;This is a tremendously important, transformative book.&#160;Dr. Montross poignantly captures the unnecessarily brutal experience of individuals incarcerated in America. As a Nation, we should heed her call for meaningful change to restore basic humanity.&rdquo;&mdash;Ellen Gallagher, Department of Homeland Security Attorney and whistleblower &#160; &ldquo;In&#160;Waiting for an Echo,&#160;Christine Montross writes with intelligence, insight, compassion and plain good sense about the state of incarceration in the early 21st century. With a keen eye and a sense of decency she correctly assesses the shortcomings of our present system and takes us on her very personal journey of inquiry into the of the way we do prison and jail in the United States. &#160;She observes that &lsquo;When the treating facility is a prison safety, security and punishment necessarily take precedence over recovery and care.&rsquo; This is the essence of the issue we need to confront, the mentally ill do not belong in prison or jail and Dr. Montross eloquently tells us why.&rdquo;&mdash;Martin Horn, Distinguished Lecturer in Corrections at the John Jay College, City University of New York&ldquo;Waiting for an Echo&#160;is a literary masterpiece that exposes the dark side of our criminal justice system and then provides a kind and wise vision for a better way to do it. Too often we, the public, ignore what goes on in prison, we say &lsquo;lock &lsquo;em up and throw away the key,&rsquo; and then abuses proliferate in the darkness. &#160;When evidence of torture surfaces &mdash; the beatings, the rapes (too often by staff), the innocents who spend decades behind bars, the prisoners driven stark raving mad by prolonged solitary confinement &mdash; we turn away, &lsquo;it's too dark.&rsquo; &#160;Dr. Montross exposes the underside and the folly of our criminal justice system, but with poignant stories and explanations of how human psychology works inside the carceral system just as in the lives of all of us, making the narrative accessible and compelling. &#160;She shares the understanding needed for us to see the humanity of those we have locked away, and the courage to seek a better way. &#160;She provides a much-needed path forward, a vision of how much better we could do criminal justice and help those who have lost their way regain their humanity.&rdquo;&mdash;Terry A. Kupers, M.D., M.S.P. professor at The Wright Institute and author of&#160;Solitary: The Inside Story of Supermax Isolation

'Clearly written and carefully organized, this book restores the subject of nature to the history of economics. It demonstrates in rich detail that economists may not have given much weight to nature as an independent source of wealth, but from the Greeks to the modern era they have been profoundly important in shaping our use of the natural world.'
Donald Worster, University of Kansas, USA
Author of "Shrinking the Earth: The Rise and Decline of American Abundance"

'Wolloch provides a clear and judicious account of the role of land in the thinking of some of the leading classical and Enlightenment economic writers, and demonstrates clearly that their major preoccupation was under-, not over-exploitation of that resource.'
Paul Warde, University of Cambridge, UK
'...this study constitutes a considerable achievement. It is well researched, well organized, and, through Wolloch’s eschewing the historiographically “easy”—or perhaps “easier”—option of focusing on change, makes an important contribution to debates about the development of economic theory over the longue durée.'
Ben Dew, Journal of British Studies, UK

Literate and reflective, these reviews rival those by more famous critics like Pauline Kael and Andrew Sarris.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Kirkus Reviews

"Featuring effective worldbuilding, this is a great, suspenseful tale of terror for upper middle graders."&mdash;School&#160;Library Journal "a rapidly moving story with an interesting emotional arc."&mdash;Publishers Weekly "Tension drives the gripping tale to a pulse-pounding conclusion." &mdash;The Horn Book  "Lawrence . . . offers a menacing, contemporary tale of dread, danger, and revenge. Portraying family dynamics and middle-school antics with equal insight and attention to detail, Igor&rsquo;s first-person narrative is absorbing." &mdash;Booklist  "Readers seeking a (relatively safe) thriller will likely find this fills the bill, with an added bonus of a memorably complex but relatable narrator." &mdash;The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books  "Friendship difficulties provide a contrast and an anchor to the terrifying threat, and the various plot elements are deftly tied together in a fitting twist that will have readers quickly turning the pages. . . . Filled with suspense and intrigue." &mdash;Kirkus Reviews "Lawrence is a gifted storyteller and this book presents a good story with some twists and turns. . . The heart of the story is about finding a place to feel safe and overcoming past trauma and those are certainly good messages." &#160;&mdash;School Library Connection

Boelts&#8217;s energetic text and Duncan&#8217;s comical, delicate illustrations, showing a thoroughly embarrassed Stick Bug and a delighted Beetle, combine to make this picture book a silly treat that will have readers giggling and pointing while learning valuable social-emotional lessons about personalities and relationships. Delightfully funny and warm.&#8212;Kirkus ReviewsSquat, mustachioed Beetle makes a humorous counterpart to slender, bespectacled Stick Bug, and the addition of the voluminous purple coat to the latter&#8217;s stickly form is especially amusing. It&#8217;s clear no misbegotten coat will come between the two antennaed friends, and a quick repurposing by Stick Bug allows them both to enjoy it.&#8212;Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

Brooksbank&#8217;s vibrant illustrations have the look of quickly stroked pastels and teem with motion and activity. Chickens in many colors populate the pages, and the interactions among both adults and children emphasize the strong sense of community in this village. Brooksbank also makes excellent use of white space to focus in on Lami&#8217;s love of chickens and her delight in pursuing them. A fun-filled, culturally rich tale that will delight readers young and older.&#8212;Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Atinuke's well-paced text uses repetition, alliteration and seamless bilingual text to draw her audience into the story. It's nicely paired with Atinuke's previous illustrative partner (B Is for Baby; Baby Goes to Market) Angela Brooksbank's brightly colored, patterned and energetic mixed-media illustrations, which convey a strong sense of life within the bustling compound.&#8212;Shelf Awareness for Readers (starred review)Set in a beautiful Nigerian village, this tale highlights the ingenuity of children in a humorous and lively manner. Many valuable lessons are embedded into the narrative, and readers will be inspired by Lami&#8217;s resilience. The illustrations, created with mixed media, are cheerfully colorful and alluring in their detail. Children will enjoy this lively tale of positivity and innovation.&#8212;School Library JournalBaby Goes to Market team Atinuke and Brooksbank tell the story of Lami, a West African girl with beaded braids, bright green sandals, and a talent for catching chickens...The story stars a strong girl of color and offers a look at life in a close-knit community, a setting in which every gift contributes to the whole.&#8212;Publishers WeeklyLiving in a small African village compound, perhaps in the author's home country of Nigeria, Lami is cheerfully energetic, always ready to take off chasing a chicken, with beaded hair bouncing happily. The text is lively and snappy, full of well chosen verbs and adverbs punctuated with smooth alliteration. The mixed-media illustrations portray sunny scenes of family life.&#8212;BooklistHumorous and colorful mixed-media illustrations depict a tightknit community, with entertaining details about how Lami&#8217;s poultry obsession plays out in daily life; even while getting her hair braided, for example, she lunges for a chicken passing by. A thoughtful mix of double-page spreads, single pages, and occasional panel-style illustrations allows for quicker or slower pacing throughout. Lively chase scenes and funny poultry antics make for a laugh-out-loud preschool adventure.&#8212;The Horn Book
