iUniverse, Inc.. Paperback. New. Paperback. 172 pages. Dimensions: 8.8in. x 6.0in. x 0.5in.Polk is an old semi-literate Greek immigrant and disillusioned Communist who hungers for respect, especially from young Rudy, whom he likes to think of as his son. Rudy, whose father died young, hungers for the life experience of this strangely appealing social misfit. The two spend a day in Coney Island seeking not so much amusement as each other. Polks resistance to telling the unpalatable truth about himself is matched by the boys insistence on hearing it, as well as by his youthful dream of a perfect revolutionary society, even if that must trample hapless individuals like Polk. The comedy of Polks antics in his quest for admiration leads time and again to defeat throughout the day, from which Rudy tries to rescue him. Polk is in the end rescued only by his acceptance of his fate and by the devotion of his son. But not even the life experience he has wrested from the old man can keep Rudy from his youthful Utopian illusions. This item ships from multiple locations. Your book may arrive from Roseburg,OR, La Vergne,TN.

From Scamp to Champ: How one puppy gave hope to the blind and other real-life animal stories (2011)
EN NW EB DLISBN: 9780615573342 bzw. 0615573347, in Englisch, Rocket Press, Rocket Press, Rocket Press, neu, E-Book, elektronischer Download.
Meet Tola, a rambunctious puppy filled with mischief. But with some loving guidance, she'll soon begin training to become the eyes for a blind person. This true story follows Tola's journey from gangly pup to proud assistant dog. From there, you'll read about an officer and his police dog, a fish-and-game warden whose job it is to protect wild animals, a daring rescue of a seal trapped in a fishing net, a pet who helps a gravely ill girl reconnect with the world, and a family who thought they lost a beloved companion during Hurricane Katrina. Along with those inspiring stories, you'll meet a five legged cat, a duck that lives in a bathtub and a man who surrounds himself with hundreds of snakes. "From Scamp to Champ" contains almost 20 animal stories ranging from the warmhearted to the whimsical. Written with a journalistic approach, the stories are all true. And each one examines the mysterious relationship that exists between human and animal. It's that bond between people and critters that intrigued writer Josh Grossberg most of all. In these short stories, he captures the bonds that men, women and children can share with four-legged creatures. And how sometimes, they even rish their lives to save each other from harm. Not overly sentimental, "From Scamp to Champ" reveals mostly the highs - but also the lows - that animals bring with them. In addition to the stories about others, Grossberg writes two memorable experiences he's had with two pets of his own - one who he had to say goodbye to and another he later welcomed into his life. "From Scamp to Champ" is a great book for adults, children and, of course, animal lovers of all ages.
