De Colores and Other Latin American Folksongs for Children (Anthology)

Book Description

Bursting with color and spirit, this collection of Latin-American songs is a tribute to Latino culture. From traditional tunes to rhymes and hand games, De Colores has songs for all occasions and moods. Each song is accompanied by simple musical arrangements, with lyrics in both English and Spanish. Slightly abridged from the original edition, this is ideal for classroom use, multicultural studies, or just plain fun.

"Rich and resonant." --Booklist

Great book.......2007-05-13

I love the colorful pictures in this book and that it has music to all of the songs. It is a wonderful book and my baby loves when I sing to him!

Great Resource!.......2006-06-29

Beautiful pictures, and easy-to-follow tunes. A must-have for anyone who has children whom they are introducing to Spanish, and very useful for us adults as well!

Nice songs.......2006-02-19

My family enjoys this CD a lot. Mr. Orozco has a wonderful voice to listen to and the lyrics are fun and interesting. One song "Paz y Libertad" is emotionally touching. It is easy to learn Spanish listening to these elegant songs. I bought the other CD, Diez Deditos as a gift for a friend's family and they like that CD too.

Don't forget the CD!.......2005-12-12

This is an excellent book full of poems and songs. All are beatifully illustrated. Our 2 1/2 year old spends a lot of time just looking at the pictures and humming the tunes. Songs are easy to learn, fun to sing, and many have hand signs.

This book of songs is really helpful whether you are trying to emmerse your child in Spanish (as we are), or just exposing your child to a different culture and sounds.

P.S. Don't forget to buy the companion CD!

This book is awesome!.......2005-05-11

I read many reviews about this book before I purchased and I also purchased the music CD. What nobody else mentioned in the reviews I read (that I was very excited about when I discovered it) was that the songs are not only written in Spanish but the English translation is on the same page! This is perfect for me because I'm an adult trying to learn Spanish.

That's not all! If you are a musician, even just a beginner, the musical score is also on each song's page so you can play the songs yourself.

The icing on the cake is that this book is beautifully and very colorfully illustrated.

Book Description

The ethical assessment of new technologies raises two principal concerns: the need to develop effective policies and legislation, and the reconsideration of the ethical frameworks in which these policies and laws are developed. The importance of rapid, accurate examinations of tensions between Philosophy and Law and the relationship between philosophical principles and empirical data has never been greater.
The Concise Encyclopedia of Ethics of New Technologies includes 23 articles previously published in the highly-acclaimed Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics, nine updated articles, and five new articles, commissioned especially for this volume. Over half of the previously published articles include updated facts and bibliographic citations. Authors of genetics articles have updated their works to include the most recent developments and publications. New articles include: "Cloning," "Geneticization," "Health Technology Assessment," "Intrinsic and Instrumental Value," and "Novel Foods."

Articles fall into these subject categories:
* Medical Ethics
* Scientific Ethics
* Theories of Ethics
* Environmental Ethics
* Legal Ethics
* Ethical Concepts

Book Description

This amusing and thought-provoking A-to-Z encyclopedia examines modern domestic technology and innovations during the twentieth century, exploring the social and cultural conditions that produced such products as the electric iron and the vacuum cleaner. The encyclopedia covers innovations and objects, inventors, organizations, institutions, manufacturers, and themes. Taking the “average” home of today as a starting point, the volume covers the household objects and technologies that did not exist in homes before 1900.

Fascinating encyclopedia of (mostly) kitches appliances.......2001-03-17

Gadgets and Necessities is a fascinating encyclopedia with a slightly misleading title and a misguided introductory essay. To its credit, the entries are well-written, amply illustrated, and adequately researched, but it should be made clear that this is an historical encyclopedia rather than a general encyclopedia. Further, it is a broad-ranging survey of household appliances and tools, their designs, and the institutions and individuals who made them possible in the United State, Europe, and Japan. The authors survey the range of accoutrements found in the middle class home in the twentieth century, and touch upon kitchen, lawn and garden, and bathroom implements; major manufacturers and retailers such as Apple Computer, AT&T, Hamilton Beach, EMI, and Kmart; industry associations such as the National Electric Light Association, and the major movements in product design. Inexplicably, though, the authors claim that "an alternative title to this book could therefore be "Electricity and Desire." While the electrical and electronic devices represented here predominate, there are many non-electrical entries as well, ranging from Brillo pads to bidets, with no attempt to treat them as special cases or link them to the development of electrical technologies. Indeed, there is no good reason to call this an encyclopedia of electrical appliance history, though there is much good electrical history here. Despite these objections, the reader interested in capsule histories of the most familiar types of household objects should be delighted with this book. It is an excellent reference work that will undoubtedly become the standard work of its type.

Book Description

In the years 1760-1840, scientific developments were revolutionizing the ways in which people viewed the world, and this extended to the literary arena. Ranging from late eighteenth-century political writings to mid-nineteenth- century pamphlets on vaccination, this collection is divided into sections by scientific discipline, each illuminating a context of current interest to literary scholars. The first volume offers an extensive introduction tracing the development of various scientific fields, and explores the central texts/discoveries and their significance, as well as providing an account of their impact on literature. A bibliography of major scientific works and suggestions for critical reading is also provided, as is a detailed index.
