New Middle School and Beyond Titles

Picture
Tolkien, J. R. R. (John Ronald Reuel), 1892-1973. The the fellowship of the ring : being the first part of the Lord of the Rings.London : HarperCollinsPublishers, 2012.

Sauron, the Dark Lord, has gathered to him all the Rings of Power - the means by which he intends to rule Middle-earth. All he lacks in his plans for dominion is the One Ring - the ring that rules them all - which has fallen into the hands of the hobbit, Bilbo Baggins.In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.To celebrate the release of the first of Peter Jackson's two-part film adaptation of The Hobbit, THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, this first part of THE LORD OF THE RINGS is available for a limited time with an exclusive cover image from Peter Jackson's award-winning trilogy.

Picture
Montgomery, David R., 1961-. The rocks don't lie : a geologist invenstigates Noah's flood. 1st. ed. London : W. W. Norton & Company, 2012.

How the mystery of the Bible's greatest story shaped geology: a MacArthur Fellow presents a surprising perspective on Noah's Flood. In Tibet, geologist David R. Montgomery heard a local story about a great flood that bore a striking similarity to Noah’s Flood. Intrigued, Montgomery began investigating the world’s flood stories and—drawing from historic works by theologians, natural philosophers, and scientists—discovered the counterintuitive role Noah’s Flood played in the development of both geology and creationism. Steno, the grandfather of geology, even invoked the Flood in laying geology’s founding principles based on his observations of northern Italian landscapes. Centuries later, the founders of modern creationism based their irrational view of a global flood on a perceptive critique of geology. With an explorer’s eye and a refreshing approach to both faith and science, Montgomery takes readers on a journey across landscapes and cultures. In the process we discover the illusive nature of truth, whether viewed through the lens of science or religion, and how it changed through history and continues changing, even today.

Verissimo, Luis Fernando. Mais comédias para ler na escola. Rio de Janeiro : Objetiva, 2010.

Para o novo leitor, novas comédias: histórias ligeiras e saborosas que dão von-tade de ler e sair logo contando - em casa, na rua, na sala de aula... e ninguém melhor para ajudar o jovem a mergulhar de cabeça no universo da literatura do que o grande contador de casos que é Luis Fernando Verissimo. Os textos de Verissimo parecem feitos sob medida para os jovens (de todas as idades!), escritos no compasso do dia-a-dia, descobrindo o diferente e o fascinante que existe em todas as situações, quando observadas com um faro atento e um olhar curioso. Um cronista que penetra no coração das coisas e de lá extrai um humor irre-sistível. Com a sabedoria de quem há quarenta anos revela aos brasileiros a sua própria literatura, a professora Marisa Lajolo fez uma seleção de crônicas com as quais não há como não se identificar: seja sobre saúde ou superstição, ritos de passagem ou conversas difíceis, as comédias de Verissimo falam uma língua tão da gente que dá vontade de conversar, contando um outro exemplo conhecido...
