Childhood. Think about the meaning of this word for us today as we near the end of the 20th century: a time to grow, a time to play, a time to learn, an idyllic time. Did the notion of childhood elicit the same thoughts for people in 18th- and 19th-century America? Indeed, was there even such a concept as childhood then, or is it instead a 20th-century invention that we have come to take for granted? These are difficult questions, in part because there never has been one universal understanding of childhood. How earlier generations viewed life s first stage depended on such factors as where they lived, their occupations, and their legal status as free, indentured, or enslaved Americans. One s experience and memories of childhood would have differed widely. A child working on the family farm in New England, the daughter of wealthy Philadelphians attending needlework school, or an enslaved African girl serving as a house maid in Virginia all surely experienced childhood very differently. KIDS! explores the many ways in which adults shaped the world of children in America between 1700 and 1900. It looks closely at the furniture, the books, the clothing, the toys, and the games used by and created for children, and it tells stories about growing up in early America. Above all, it invites readers to learn through history. Using objects and the stories that surround them, KIDS! puts us in touch with the past and, in so doing, moves us closer to understanding the present."

The Newbery Medal-winning tale of an orphan boy whose dream of becoming a master potter leads to unforeseen adventure in ancient Korea. Tree-ear is an orphan boy in a 12th-century Korean village renowned for its ceramics. When he accidentally breaks a delicate piece of pottery, he volunteers to work to pay for the damage. Putting aside his own dreams, Tree-ear resolves to serve the master potter by embarking on a difficult and dangerous journey, little knowing that it will change his life forever. "Despite the odds against him, Tree-ear becomes courageous, brave and selfless, a hero as enduring as the porcelain Park so lovingly describes." (New York Times) “Intrigues, danger, and a strong focus on doing what is right turn a simple story into a compelling read. A timeless jewel.” (Kirkus starred review) *A broken piece of pottery sets events in motion as an orphan struggles to pay off his debt to a master potter. This finely crafted novel brings 12th-century Korea and these indelible characters to life." (School Library Journal starred review) "Tree-ear's determination and bravery in pursuing his dream of becoming a potter takes readers on a literary journey that demonstrates how courage, honor and perseverance can overcome great odds and bring great happiness. Park effectively conveys 12th century Korea in this masterful piece of historical fiction." (Kathleen Odean, chair of the Newbery Award Selection Committee)

The cult classic from the godfather of Cuban science fiction, Agustín de Rojas’s The Year 200 is both a visionary sci-fi masterwork and a bold political parable about the perils of state power. Centuries have passed since the Communist Federation defeated the capitalist Empire, but humanity is still divided. A vast artificial-intelligence network, a psychiatric bureaucracy, and a tiny egalitarian council oversee civil affairs and quash “abnormal” attitudes such as romantic love. Disillusioned civilians renounce the new society and either forego technology to live as “primitives” or enhance their brains with cybernetic implants to become “cybos.” When the Empire returns and takes over the minds of unsuspecting citizens in a scenario that terrifyingly recalls Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the world’s fate falls into the hands of two brave women. Originally published in 1990, just after the fall of the Berlin Wall and before the onset of Cuba's devastating Special Period, Agustín de Rojas’s magnum opus brings contemporary trajectories to their logical extremes and boldly asks, “What does ‘the greatest good for the greatest number’ really mean?”
