Book Description
Anansi the spider may be the smallest animal in the forest, but he is certain that he is also the cleverest. He loves to play tricks on the other animals. But Anansi underestimates just how smart his friends can be: they often manage to trick him right back, using his own greed and laziness against him! In these seven trickster tales, Anansi outwits proud Snake and King Tiger, but he is outwitted by slow Turtle. He learns the hard way to respect the magical gifts he receives from Brother Breeze. And when Anansi discovers what might be his best trick yet, it is tiny, quiet Small Deer who thinks through the problem and makes things right with the other animals of the forest. These playful, humorous stories are perfect for audiences age 4 and up and readers age 6 and up. With vibrant illustrations by South African illustrator Toby Newsome and interesting details about West African and Caribbean culture, this book will entertain and educate readers while stoking their enthusiasm for trickster traditions around the world. Proceeds from this book will support grassroots organizations working in HIV and AIDS across sub-Saharan Africa.

Book Description
Once in a cursed land devoid of beauty, a lost child lays eyes on a creature of legend. Awed by a giant deer and its otherworldly allure, the child will remember the sighting, keeping it as close as treasure until life's hardships strip away its lustre. It's many years before a travelling bard will weave a song of the Enchanted Deer, a giant from the time the world was created, and revive the childhood wonder in the young Fool's heart. The village in the Land of Old Wives is a quiet, desolate place, but when a witch threatens the peace, the Fool puts aside his quest and persuades a passing knight to aid him in vanquishing her. Together they engage her in a battle and believe the Witch to be conquered. With a metal of bravery in hand, the Fool announces that he will pursue The Enchanted Deer once more. When he sets out to chase his dreams, at last, the Fool discovers his fate is entwined with the last person he expected. The Witch and the Fool plunge into an adventure like no other. Side by side, they search for answers and end up uncovering what neither realized their hearts were seeking—a place in the world where they can truly be themselves.

Book Description
'This delightful book connects mathematical concepts in a dozen areas to magic tricks. Expositions of the mathematics precede description and analysis of the tricks. The expositions are too short for in-depth learning; the intent is to give sophomores a taste of the content and ideas of later mathematics courses. Each chapter features exercises on the mathematics, and students can have fun practicing the tricks.'Mathematics MagazineTeixeira and Park present over 60 different magic tricks while introducing students to high-level math areas. Readers will learn really interesting ideas that will better prepare them for future courses and help them finding areas they might want to study deeper. And as a 'side effect' students will learn amazing magic tricks, century-old secrets, and details from famous magicians and mathematicians.The material was written to quickly present key concepts in several mathematical areas in direct way. Little or no proficiency in math is assumed. In fact, students do not require any Calculus knowledge. And since chapters are almost independent from each other, this book also work as introduction to several other courses.Topics covered include mathematical proofs, probability, abstract algebra, linear algebra, mathematical computing, number theory, coding theory, geometry, topology, real analysis, numerical analysis and history of math.
