Inequality and poverty arose by design, not chance and stories of human rights abuses and failures in development have deep roots. Here, Prof Benjamin Selwyn recommends key non-fiction texts to help unravel some global complexities.

Scottish Stories is a treasury of great writing from a richly literary land, where the short story has flourished for over two centuries. Here are chilling supernatural stories from Robert Louis Stevenson, Eric Linklater and Dorothy K. Haynes; side-splittingly funny stories from Alasdair Gray and Irvine Welsh; a stylish offering from urban realist William McIlvanney. Iain Crichton Smith evokes the Gaelic-speaking highlands, George Mackay-Brown the Orkney islands, Andrew O'Hagan working-class Glasgow; while Leila Aboulela, originally from Sudan, ponders the relations between colonizers and colonized from her home in Aberdeen.

Cuba in My Pocket would pair fantastically with The Barefoot Dreams of Petra Luna by Alda Dobbs, Unsettled by Reem Faruqi, and Finding Junie Kim by Ellen Oh. Using this quartet of books together would give students a glimpse into the immigration experiences of varying cultures across different time periods. Also, similar to Cuba in My Pocket, each of these authors drew from family history to write their books. This would offer students an opportunity to explore the concept of using personal source material when telling stories. But most importantly, these are phenomenal books that kids will love!

Pocket Books produced the first mass-market, pocket-sized paperback books in the United States in early 1939 and revolutionized the publishing industry. The German Albatross Books had pioneered the idea of a line of color-coded paperback editions in 1931 under Kurt Enoch, and Penguin Books in Britain had refined the idea in 1935 and had one million books in print by the following year.

Pocket and its imitators thrived during World War II because material shortages worked to their advantage. During the war, Pocket sued Avon Books for copyright infringement: among other issues, a New York state court found Pocket did not have an exclusive right to the pocket-sized format (both Pocket and Avon published paperback editions of Leslie Charteris' The Saint mystery series, among others).

Story Supply Co.

First, for each 3-pack of 3.55.5 notebooks they sell, they contribute a story supply kit to a chapter of 826, which provide writing and tutoring to school age kids in many major metropolitan cities like LA, Chicago and DC, to name a few.

Thanks, Jim. And thank you Tipper for the knife. I never win anything, probably because I never enter. But when I saw it was a pocket knife, I figured what the heck, for that I will. It will be especially cherished. Jon

What a wonderful story, it reminds me of when I was growing up. I came from a family of 3 girls, of my cousins there was only one boy. How we envied him his pocket knife and getting to go out with his dad on the river to help him. He was a commercial fisherman. We got to stay with my aunt and learn to hang fishing nets. No knife needed until we were done.

What a great story. This reminds me of my Grandpa. He loved knives and used to whittle. If he was sitting still he had his knife out carving on a piece of wood of some kind. He was a skilled craftsman and made some beautiful pieces of furniture. He would whittle all kinds of little animals and toys for us kids. I still have a little monkey that he carved for me out of a peach seed. My dad inherited his love of knives. He had several of them. He always carried a yellow handled Case knife in his pocket that he kept razor sharp that he would use to do everything from skinning a squirrel or a deer to peeling an apple for us.

The characters in the delightful stories collected here range all the way from the ink-stained medieval monks in Umberto Eco's The Name of the Rose to the book-besotted denizens of Ali Smith's Public Library and Other Stories. In these pages readers are invited to enter the interior lives of librarians in Lorrie Moore's "Community Life" and Elizabeth McCracken's "Juliet" and are ushered into a host of unusual libraries, including the infinite rooms of Jorge Luis Borges's "The Library of Babel" and a secret library in Helen Oyeyemi's "Books and Roses."

UPDATE: JMU is making plans now for a special fundraising campaign at the end of the school year so anyone can acquire a pocket-sized Constitution. Sign up here to know as soon as they become available!


Anyone interested in providing funds for initiatives like the pocket-sized Constitutions can make a gift to the Madison Vision Fund.

Mary was four years old when she was first taken away to the Lejac Indian Residential School. It was far away from her home and family. Always hungry and cold, there was little comfort for young Mary. Speaking Dakelh was forbidden and the nuns and priest were always watching, ready to punish. Mary and the other girls had a genius idea: drawing on the knowledge from their mothers, aunts and grandmothers who were all master sewers, the girls would sew hidden pockets in their clothes to hide food. They secretly gathered materials and sewed at nighttime, then used their pockets to hide apples, carrots and pieces of bread to share with the younger girls.

Meanwhile, the business community adopted products such as the Psion Organiser or Palm Pilot (collectively known as PDAs, or Personal Digital Assistants). These provided, in one convenient pocket-sized package, calendars, calculators, spreadsheets, notepads and other business applications.

Most smartphones are now fitted with ARM microprocessors. The low-power processor means that impressive computing can be fitted into a package with a small battery, and smartphones have become progressively thinner and sleeker, light enough to drop in a shirt pocket.

After my father passed away in 2006, my older brothers and I divided his pocket knives. Along with a Case whittler and a Boker peanut knife, I asked for the KA-BAR stockman knife that had once belonged to his uncle Charlie. I guess some would question why I, like my father, would want to keep it.

A Pocket God story is a sequence plays of the Pygmies talking (with word balloons). The stories include animations such as Pygmies changing expressions, weather changes, island changes (etc.). The stories added to the game by the creators so far, are named the same as the name of the episode in which they are added and show some of the features added in that update. Some of the early default stories are not to preview the episodes, but are rather just for fun.

As well as the default stories, you can use the story editor create your own stories about anything you want. In addition, the story editor is updated with the same features and interactions that are added to the actual playable game. A list of story mode interactions with Pygmies can be found in Story Mode/Interactions.

Apocalypse, Ow! - Outside the temple on Apocalypse Island, Ooga, Klik and Nooby appear. A caption that reads "At long last...All seven Apocalypse Temple symbols are revealed!" then appears. Ooga and Klik notice this change and comment that the clock appears different. Klik then says that the Apocalypse has arrived! Nooby, misunderstanding, is happy about the "pocket lips", and after an outrage from Ooga about this, the Pygmies travel inside the temple after Klik tells them to focus. Now inside the Closet Room, Nooby hears a different voice coming from the closet. Klik then experiences a weird feeling and suddenly appears with shining white eyes saying strange messages...Almost like a prophecy. In his prophecy-state, Klik tells the Pygmies a prophecy (which Ooga comments is like a "nursery rhyme") about the Apocalypse and that Tom, the new guest Pygmy, is the key. He then proceeds to talk about how to summon Xenu in the Xenu Altar, while Ooga and Nooby start to become bored. At the end, Nooby is relieved that Klik has stopped talking, but Klik then says "142 more verses to be recited". Ooga, fed up, jumps off and Nooby follows. Klik is lasered, and a caption appears apoligising, but admitting that "Possessed Prophecy Klik was starting to bore the heck out of us." At the end, the caption says "The end is here!" rather than "The end is near!" from the previous Apocalypse episodes. ff782bc1db
