What¡¯s to Love: No one can deny the cultural impact of Charles M. Schulz¡¯s Peanuts, and it has been a singular honor for us to be able to continue his legacy. In 2015, Peanuts celebrates its 65th anniversary, so we thought there was no better way to recognize Snoopy, Charlie Brown, and the rest of the gang than to invite some of the world¡¯s best-known names in comics, children¡¯s books, comic strips, cartoons, and webcomics to come together and show their love for Schulz. What It Is: Peanuts: A Tribute to Charles M. Schulz is a giant love letter from creators new and old from comic strips to webcomics, children¡¯s books to comic books. Unprecedented at this scale, it is very rare for the Schulz estate to allow other cartoonists to illustrate the Peanuts gang in their own signature styles. This collection of original stories, pin-ups, and strips pay tribute to Schulz and the world of Peanuts, and includes contributions from Raina Telgemeier (Smile), Jen Wang (In Real Life), Patrick McDonnell (Mutts), Stan Sakai (Usagi Yojimbo), Terry Moore (Rachel Rising), Mike Allred (Silver Surfer), Paul Pope (Battling Boy), and many more.

Originally published in 1980 at a time when the discipline of sociology was still relatively young in Australia, The Inheritance of Inequality is an important contribution to the study of social mobility in Australia. The book is based on findings from a survey of nearly 5,000 Australians who were interviewed about their family backgrounds and occupational careers. In its scope and sample size, the survey was unique among non-governmental Australian studies. It went beyond the findings of earlier surveys, giving broader understanding of social mobility and stratification. The book sets out the processes by which Australians have found their place in the world of work in the 20th Century. Factors tending to enhance or frustrate attainment are identified and the degree to which Australia is an egalitarian society is assessed.

The Krazy Kat Sunday pages in black and white, consisting of pen and ink drawings, each measuring approximately 20 by 17 inches, have almost all been reproduced from the original artwork. Relatively large, Herriman''s drawings are skillfully rendered with a strength and clarity which give them an energetic presence.

Un hilarante recordatorio de cómo la tecnología nos puede llevar hacia atrás... ¡a la época de las cavernas! "Había una vez, hace mucho, mucho tiempo, o tal vez ayer... un niño que vivía en una cueva." La era tecnológica tiene muchos aspectos positivos, pero también un sinfín de consecuencias negativas, sobre todo para las nuevas generaciones. Una de estas consecuencias es que al tener una interacción excesiva con aparatos electrónicos, como tabletas, computadoras o teléfonos inteligentes, muchos niños y niñas dejan de relacionarse con su entorno. La realidad virtual poco a poco comienza a ocupar el lugar de la realidad concreta. Recurriendo a su característico ingenio y mediante un enfoque humorístico, Patrick McDonnell aborda dicha problemática en un libro dirigido a los niños, pero cuyo mensaje es válido para las personas de todas las edades. Es la historia de Tek, un niño cavernícola que vive encerrado en su cueva, pegado a sus dispositivos electrónicos. Su aislamiento le ha impedido darse cuenta de que en el exterior hay un mundo grande y hermoso esperándolo. Un detalle curioso es que el libro tiene la forma de una tableta electrónica.

Se abbiamo la capacità di distruggere la Terra, abbiamo anche la capacità di proteggerla. Alla residenza del Dalai Lama a Dharamsala, in India, è arrivato un insolito visitatore. Sua Santità interrompe la meditazione mattutina per accogliere e salutare un panda gigante che, preoccupato per il futuro del pianeta, ha percorso migliaia di chilometri per incontrarlo. Circondati dalla bellezza della natura, i due passeggiano per una foresta di cedri e all''ombra dell''Himalaya si trovano a discutere di questioni tanto semplici quanto importanti. Con parole di estrema saggezza e calore, il Dalai Lama trasmette al nuovo amico un messaggio potente di gioia e speranza, un invito a una rivoluzione compassionevole per il futuro del nostro mondo, ricordandoci che «siamo tutti membri di una sola famiglia che condivide la stessa piccola casa».

Deceptively simple yet strikingly profound, Mutts is a comic strip that speaks to fans of all ages. In Patrick McDonnell''s animal-centric world, Earl, the dog, and Mooch, the cat, provide both postulations and punch lines, enlightenment and entertainment. They seem innocent, yet speak volumes. "Kids will immediately take to the funny-animals look of the strip", wrote Mark J. Estren in Virginia Parent, "but there''s plenty here for adults, too".Indeed there is. From musings about friendship to the benefits of adopting shelter animals, these two and their furry pals hammer out the mammalian issues of the day. The late Charles Schulz described Mutts: "I think the best new comic strip to come along has been Mutts. . . . The little dog and cat are just innocent creatures, and all the characters are funny and fun to look at". Mutts is quickly earning the reputation and title of a true classic.
