While one may argue about the specific role the Lehman bankruptcy played, there is little disagreement that the recession – which was deep and wide, impacting large parts of economies across the globe – was a significant hit to the credibility of economics as a profession. Few predicted the recession and its exact causes are still a matter of dispute. ![]() 2017.Ī little more than ten years ago, the US government declined an opportunity to bail out Lehman Brothers, a 168-year-old investment bank, perhaps deepening a recession that started a year earlier.

Unfortunately, these effects didn't last long once he reconnected. The latter was liberating, enabling him to once again read books, have creative thoughts, and sleep well.

Readers with a literary bent will delight in the many Shakespearean references-ranging from direct quotes from plays to subtler allusions to familiar characters-that are smartly woven into the plot. It is short, laugh-out-loud funny and impossibly romantic, but it is the element of disguise that Ive always loved. ![]() Living under the protection of Shakespeare and his accommodating wife, Violetta feels freedom and rekindled passion, but her sense of security is short-lived. After making the acquaintance of the renowned playwright and telling him her woeful tale of being pursued by an evil uncle, the bard invents a plan to transport Violetta and former court jester Feste to safer ground in his hometown of Stratford. The story, set first in Illyria then in England, centers around Violetta, daughter of a duke, who seeks refuge in London while her native land is being plundered. In a tale filled with romance and adventure, drawn from the pages of Twelfth Night, Rees (Sovay) beautifully recreates Renaissance landscapes that would be familiar to Shakespeare, who, not so coincidentally, makes several appearances. ![]() 6/28/2023 0 Comments Mo willems alligator![]() ![]() ![]() As in his Elephant and Piggie books, Willems ends on a generous note, showing how Alligator and Panda overcome their superficial differences and giggle together. The emphasis rests on quiet, ordinary events and the characters' comfortable alliance, which is temporarily threatened by a rival panda toy who bears a resemblance to Knuffle Bunny. Alligator waits impatiently for Amanda to return from the library, then asks, "Do you have a surprise for me?" Amanda indulges him by shouting, "Boo!" Then, in a bit of turnabout, while Amanda reads her library books Alligator observes, "Something tickles," followed by "I do!" Another ticklish subject arises when Alligator discovers his price tag and that he came from "the sale bucket" ("Nobody wanted to buy you," Amanda admits, adding, "because they knew you were meant to be my best friend"). Beloved author-illustrator Mo Willems has created a funny and tender portrait of friendship that readers of any age will love. ![]() But what happens when Amanda brings home a specialand not entirely welcomesurprise The result might be unexpected indeed. Willems presents everyday, indoor interactions between Amanda and her teal-blue, nontoothy pal, drawn in grainy black crayon with watercolor wash. Sometimes Alligator surprises Amanda by eating them. Any child who has ever had a favorite toy will identify with the toddler star of this tale. Six and a half short stories make up this expertly paced page-turner about a girl and her toy alligator, laced with the kid-centric humor on which Willems has built his career.
