  • My Light: How Sunlight Becomes Electricity

    Molly Bang

    Hardcover (Blue Sky Press, March 1, 2004)

With dazzling paintings and a simple poetic text, MY LIGHT follows the paths of the sun's rays, showing the many ways in which we obtain energy from its light. As in COMMON GROUND (Giverny Award for Best Science Picture Book), Bang uses a story to explain the basic concepts behind electricity and our energy resources--a compelling and easily-accessible way to present a non-fiction subject.

  • Losing Venice: A Novel

    Scott Stavrou

    eBook (Rogue Dog Press, April 30, 2018)
    Short-listed for the 2019 People's Book Prize "A remarkable novel... only someone who has lived in Venice could write with such vivid detail, clarity and affection about her charms and annoyances."JoAnn Loctov, Dream of VeniceSurrounded by beauty, can you learn to live beautifully?Travel marketing specialist Mark Vandermar leads an itinerant life. Elsewhere is where he calls home, so it's no surprise when he's called to Venice to craft the Venice Tourism Council's new campaign to attract suddenly skittish American tourism.Falling in love with the colorful campos and canals of Venice comes naturally but how far will he go to chase the love of the right woman?Mark's new life abroad unfolds against the rich history of Venice, Prague, and the Greek islands, where he encounters a cast of compelling characters that lead to life-changing consequences. The geography of his new life is marked with discovery and reinvention, but what he really seeks is to learn to live beautifully, to find a place and a person to call home. "Like the finest expatriate novels, Losing Venice is as richly textured as its fabled locales and dives deeply into the possibilities, perils, and pleasures of learning how not to be lost."
