Spring Day is Tilly’s favorite day of the year when the magical park across the street transforms from a barren landscape into a beautiful garden within a single day. She, and her best friend, Macey, love to watch as each tree takes its turn to ‘spring-out’ in its own unique way. Only one thing could mar Tilly’s day, and that is the presence of grasshoppers. Unfortunately, Roger, who lives down the street, has them as pets. Roger’s mum makes him release his them on Spring Day, right when Tilly is skipping along the footpath under his window. She freaks out when one lands on her, but Roger thinks this is funny. However, when Macey kills one of his pets, Roger is enraged, and so embarks on a mission of revenge. Throughout the day he tries to torment Tilly with the grasshoppers he re-captures, but his day goes from bad to worse as each of his poor choices result in unpleasant outcomes. Old Mai is an ancient tree who grows at the end of the park. Early in the morning she gifts Tilly with a special leaf. She also enlists the help of the Chime Maker to encourage Roger to change his mind about seeking revenge on the girls. When Roger gives up chasing the girls, he pays Old Mai a visit, and realizes she has killed two of his grasshoppers. His anger erupts against her, and he tries to destroy Tilly’s leaf. An amusing altercation between Old Mai and Roger results in him learning this lesson; it is far better to forgive than to receive the reward of revenge. Old Mai is always the last tree in the park to spring-out. She puts on the Retell--a light-show of events that have happened in the park throughout the year. The last scene is of Tilly holding up a small glowing plant. As Old Mai dims her leaves and darkness descends, she releases small edible tufts into the air. While adults and children catch and eat the tufts, Tilly searches for her leaf. As she reaches up to touch the tuft that is still attached to it, time stands still. The Tuftling sprouts while Tilly watches on, but then it comes under attack from of a huge, nasty-looking grasshopper. Tilly freaks out and tries to get help but no-one can save the Tuftling because they are all suspended in time. Despite her fear, she decides to save the Tuftling herself. An epic battle ensues, resulting in Tilly triumphing over the grasshopper, and her fear. The Chime Maker--the only other person not suspended in time--explains the circumstances surrounding the sprouting of the Tuftling and why Old Mai chose to help Tilly overcome her fear in this way. Time resumes as Tilly receives the Tuftling into her care and then she rehearses the tale of the Tuftling to the townsfolk. Once home, Tilly looks out her window and admires the brilliantly lit park. A grasshopper lands on her window sill, and she flicks it away with her finger, vowing she will never to be afraid of them again. The story ends with the Chime Maker discussing the day’s events with Old Mai, and planning for the day of the Melody Pod Fall.

The importance of Chicago in American culture has made the city's place in the American imagination a crucial topic for literary scholars and cultural historians. While databases of bibliographical information on Chicago-centered fiction are available, they are of little use to scholars researching works written before the 1980s. In The Chicago of Fiction: A Resource Guide, James A. Kaser provides detailed synopses for more than 1,200 works of fiction significantly set in Chicago and published between 1852 and 1980. The synopses include plot summaries, names of major characters, and an indication of physical settings. An appendix provides bibliographical information for works dating from 1981 well into the 21st century, while a biographical section provides basic information about the authors, some of whom are obscure and would be difficult to find in other sources. Written to assist researchers in locating works of fiction for analysis, the plot summaries highlight ways in which the works touch on major aspects of social history and cultural studies (i.e., class, ethnicity, gender, immigrant experience, and race). The book is also a useful reader advisory tool for librarians and readers who want to identify materials for leisure reading, particularly since genre, juvenile, and young adult fiction, as well as literary fiction, are included.

The first four decades of my life were spent in a small country that was nested in a hostile and unstable old region, Israel. I strongly felt, enjoyed, and participated in, the revival of that country and experienced the uneasy reintegration of the returning descendants of Abraham, Issac and Jacob from the four corners of the world. I have felt the pain of the less happy residents of that reviving country. In particular, I have felt the hardship of the Mizrachi Israelis – the Jewish returnees and refugees from Arab countries. I have wished to live in a world that is not divided by religion, ethnicity and skin colour. As there is no such world, I embraced the second best – the remote, sparsely populated southern continent that has provided a home to convicts and refugees from the old world. I arrived in that continent, Australia, at almost forty years of age with an already developed strong sensitivity to ethnic-based social injustices. My tales from my land of origin and from my land of choice record interwoven personal and national memoirs of ethnically based inequalities and injustices. I wrote those tales with a hope that they will make a contribution to the moderation of the intensity of such social problems. The colour of my tales is brown – the typical colour of the skin of the Mizrachi Israelis and the colour of many members of the minority ethnic groups that live in Australia.

Bringing together a comparative analysis of the accessibility by public transport of 23 cities spanning four continents, this book provides a "hands-on" introduction to the evolution, rationale and effectiveness of a new generation of accessibility planning tools that have emerged since the mid-2000s. The Spatial Network Analysis for Multimodal Urban Transport Systems (SNAMUTS) tool is used as a practical example to demonstrate how city planners can find answers as they seek to improve public transport accessibility. Uniquely among the new generation of accessibility tools, SNAMUTS has been designed for multi-city comparisons. A range of indicators are employed in each city including: the effectiveness of the public transport network; the relationship between the transport network and land use activity; who gets access within the city; and how resilient the city will be. The cities selected enable a comparison between cities by old world–new world; public transport modes; governance approach; urban development constraints. The book is arranged along six themes that address the different planning challenges cities confront. Richly illustrated with maps and diagrams, this volume acts as a comprehensive sourcebook of accessibility indicators and a snapshot of current policy making around the world in the realm of strategic planning for land use transport integration and the growth of public transport. It provides a deeper understanding of the complexity, opportunities and challenges of twenty-first-century accessibility planning.

Las Vegas, 1970s—a golden age of Glitter Gulch corruption. Dennis Gomes--the youngest division chief in Gaming Control Board history--whipped a ragtag group of auditors into hardened, gun-slinging investigators, and shattered clichés about milquetoast accountant cops. Coming within a hair’s breadth of death more than once, Gomes capped off his tenure with the famous bust of the Stardust skim, portrayed in the book and movie Casino. In Hit Me!, there’s action to fill a dozen Scorsese films—midnight raids, heart-rending showgirl romances, and deadly double-crosses. And the cast of characters reads like a roll call of gangster lore. But no matter how much evidence Gomes uncovered, or how many witnesses and informants were bloodied, Gomes was swept aside by a political system that was dirty to its core. It took nearly three decades, but in 2007, Gomes made a date with destiny at The Family Secrets Trial--the justice system finally taking out a “hit” on the mob. In a Chicago courtroom on July 30, 2007, Gomes--a key prosecutorial witness--finally settled all scores. Dennis Gomes, who passed away in February 2012, will be posthumously inducted into the Gaming Hall of Fame in Las Vegas in October 2012.

EVERY MOTHER'S WORST NIGHTMARE IS ABOUT TO COME TRUE... Based on a gripping and moving true story, The Stolen Baby is the new Second World War novel from bestselling author Diney Costeloe. Plymouth, 1941. As sirens blare all around, the Shawbrook family take refuge in a packed shelter. Bombs have already begun to fall through the night sky when they realise their infant son, Freddie, has been forgotten in the rush, left to sleep in his crib. Terrified, Vera, his young mother races to find him and bring him to safety. The next morning, police officer David Shawbrook returns from his watch to find the shelter pulverised, and his family seemingly all dead. Dirty footprints inside their home betray the looters who have rifled through the house. Meanwhile, Maggie waits alone for her husband. Since the death of her infant son, she passes her days at home with neither joy nor aim. But not this morning. For this morning her husband has brought home a child, found abandoned in the aftermath of the terrible raid – a child she is sure is the one she held in her arms so many months before.
