Book Description
Acclaimed Mexican-American attorney and author, Ronald L. Ruiz, returns with the publication of another fiery legal thriller. The Big Bear presents a compelling court case featuring a Mexican-American attorney and an Anglo physician. ñI didnÍt kill her,î the accused says. Gabby Garcia has heard it all before. ñEverything from outright lies to minimizations, omissions and simple denials.î GarcÕa has all the cases he can handle, but a new case is about to grab his attention. In physician Dr. Alan Newsome, a man accused of killing his wife, GarcÕa sees the ultimate challenge in his long struggle for recognition and worth. Gabby Garcia clawed his way out of farm work to become a lawyer for the poor and disenfranchised in San Jose, California, only to abandon them for the lure of bigger and better cases. Alienated and numb to the world around him, Garcia stumbles onto a life-altering murder case that demands that he find internal strength to prevail. Ronald L. Ruiz, best-selling author and former defense attorney and prosecutor, writes from bare-knuckled courtroom experience and the teeth-grinding memory of growing up the son of Mexican immigrants in rural California. His charactersÍ agonizing relationships and search for self-discovery provide an engrossing illustration of ever-present issues of success and social class in the United States. Ruiz populates this tale of passion, crime and politics with genuine and vulnerable characters, each one struggling to solve his or her own mysteries.

Book Description
As far as he can tell, Bear is the biggest thing around. He might even be a giant! It's not long before other, smaller animals set him straight in this charmingly illustrated book about counting and relative size. Together, two walruses, three foxes, and so on, are the same size as Bear, each teasing him for foolishly thinking that there is nothing bigger than he. When six sardines arrive to tell Bear that together, they are just as big as he is, Bear has had enough and gobbles them up for breakfast.

Peel the Banana
Author: Paul Rosenberg
Publisher: Homespun Occasions
ISBN: 0974744913
Category : Folk dance music
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
Peel the Banana (with included music CD?see below) is arranged as a sequence of dances and singing games from many traditions that Paul Rosenberg has found to be popular during his years of leading school residencies, family dances and community celebrations. The book provides detailed instructions for each of the dances on the CD, as well as written music (with chords) for all of the tunes. It presents suggested age group (a number of the dances can be taught to children as young as three), formation and notes on each dance which might include background information, teaching tips or variations to make the dance accessible to less experienced or younger dancers. Also included are simple instructions on how to teach the waltz, a list of enrichment activities for the classroom (including a reading list for schoolchildren) and a glossary describing all the dance movements and terms used in the book. For the CD, George Wilson (fiddle, banjo, bass, guitar, percussive feet), Peter Davis (clarinet, guitar, piano, mandolin, pennywhistle) and Paul Rosenberg (recorder) provide wonderful dance-length music for the 20 dances. The collection includes American dances such as the singing square Marching Through Georgia and the Virginia Reel. Other countries represented through their dances are Russia (Sasha), Israel (Zemer Atik), Germany (Kinderpolka) and Denmark (Seven Jumps). There are also dances from Ireland, Belgium, Quebec, England, plus two African-American singing games. For most tracks Paul calls the dance the first two times through. Children are also included singing on several of the cuts.
