Augustine is considered to be the greatest Christian thinker of the first thousand years of the Church, and the City of God set will guide your student through his greatest book. It is a book that influenced Western society more powerfully than perhaps any other book except the Bible.
A slave and a cripple, a saint and a Roman officer, an Emperor and a conspirator . . . A city on fire!
The events surrounding the burning of Rome and the subsequent Christian persecution provide the backdrop for this story of faith and friendship.
Meet Jill and Craig, two children who mysteriously shrink and are taken prisoner by an ant colony.
Down beneath the ground they are herded, to the city under the back steps and the complex world of the ant colony. Here where the haughty Queen rules with an iron hand, each of her subjects has a vital role to perform, and Jill and Craig are put to work. But no sooner had they become involved in the daily routine of the colony when an army of red ants sweeps down, threatening the destruction of the city and its inhabitants, including Jill and Craig! Evelyn Sibley Lampman’s exciting fantasy, sure to ignite an interest in nature, accurately explores the fascinating hierarchy of the ant world.
From the bestselling author of The Ascent of Moneyand The Square and the Tower
Western civilization’s rise to global dominance is the single most important historical phenomenon of the past five centuries.
How did the West overtake its Eastern rivals? And has the zenith of Western power now passed? Acclaimed historian Niall Ferguson argues that beginning in the fifteenth century, the West developed six powerful new concepts, or “killer applications”—competition, science, the rule of law, modern medicine, consumerism, and the work ethic—that the Rest lacked, allowing it to surge past all other competitors.
Yet now, Ferguson shows how the Rest have downloaded the killer apps the West once monopolized, while the West has literally lost faith in itself. Chronicling the rise and fall of empires alongside clashes (and fusions) of civilizations, Civilization: The West and the Rest recasts world history with force and wit. Boldly argued and teeming with memorable characters, this is Ferguson at his very best.

From the Publisher:
“Norval the Fish is hosting a seaside talk show for the Fish Channel–and the Cat in the Hat and Thing One and Thing Two are Cameracat and Crew! Among Norval’s special guests are his old friend Clam-I-Am (a shy gal who lives in the sand and likes to spit), along with horseshoe and hermit crabs, jellyfish, sand fleas, starfish, seagulls, and miscellaneous mollusks. Seaweed, sea glass, tides, tidal pools, dunes, driftwood, and waves make cameo appearances, too. Warning: Beginning readers are apt to be swept away!”
From the Publisher:

Michael spent more than a decade recording the words used in the great classics of English and American literature, as well as the instances of their use. In this book he explores the language of the classics, with separate chapters for the most important words as revealed by his research. Each chapter includes an in-depth look at the way the word is used in the classics and by whom.
In this initial Fable stage, students look at a single story or idea and begin learning how to use words to engage the imagination of the audience. They master the structures of thought or ideas that go into a narrative and learn to create recognition by using figures of description.
