1952. Twelve years have passed since Churchill lost to the appeasers & Britain surrendered to Nazi Germany after Dunkirk. As the long German war against Russia rages on in the east, the British people find themselves under dark authoritarian rule: the press, radio & television are controlled; the streets patrolled by violent auxiliary police & British Jews face ever greater constraints.

Domo is a funny, square, fuzzy creature that began as the official mascot for a Japanese TV network in 1998. Since his introduction, he has become an international phenomenon along the lines of ` Hello Kitty, ` (a little more hipster-ish, though) with appeal to kids, pre-teens & twenty-somethings, skewing almost equally in popularity with male & female demographics. His big, toothy face has been plastered on scores of products, but never in a book. ”DOMO in the World” is a small-format board book featuring 15 photos of Domo out & about throughout the year, & each image is paired with quirky haiku (which is appropriate owing to his Japanese origins). Situations include flying a kite (or being flown by a kite in Domo`s case), TP`ing a house at Halloween dressed as a ghost, making romantic overtures to a fuzzy pillow which looks a lot like him & chowing down on a field of flowers. This fun production is a book, but packaged in a way to be merchy enough to carry on Domo`s merch-y success. ...

Dominican Republic SUPERCEDED

Intrepid traveler and Dominican Republic expert Christopher J. Baker takes a fascinating tour of this up-and-coming eco-destination. Beginning in the bustling, historic capital city of Santo Domingo, Baker moves on to the southwest, land of the Taino people, the old sugar-processing town of Barahona, wildlife-rich Lago Enriquillo, and magnificent beaches. Then it's on to the southeast, known for the resort zones of Punta Cana and Bavaro, remote beaches, and sugar plantations; the spectacular, underdeveloped Semana Peninsula, famous for its whale-watching; and the north coast, with seemingly unending beaches and what a great life atmosphere.Christopher Columbus' first sight of the New World was upon these shores. The visit ends with explorations of the Valle el Cibao and the
central cordillera in the Dominican Republic's mountainous interior, complete with nightlife-bustling Santiago, farmlands that produce some of the world's best cigars, and endless rain forest laced with hiking trails.
