Ten-year-old Addie knows that Superheroes aren't real, and that they certainly don't hide out in retirement communities, but she may just have to change her mind. Addie and her mom never stay in one place too long. They've been up and down and all around the country. When her mom, Tish, gets a new job at Happy Valley Village Retirement Community in Pennsylvania, Addie believes they'll be on the road again in a month. But this time, something is different--make that, someone. Mr. Norris, a grumpy resident of Happy Valley and. . .a former superhero? Well, that's what Marwa, whose mom also works at Happy Valley, would try and have Addie believe. Addie and her friend Dickson know better even if there are things they can't explain. Like the time Mr. Norris was about to get hit by a car and was suddenly on the other side of the road or the way his stare seems to take root in Addie's stomach. When a man starts prowling the Happy Valley grounds, claiming to be the great-nephew of a resident, Addie, Marwa, and Dickson soon stumble into a grand conspiracy involving the Manhattan Project, a shady weapons company, and the fate of the human race, in this smart, funny middle grade novel.

Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, Iron Man, Wonder Woman, the Avengers, the X-Men, Watchmen, and more: the companion volume to the PBS documentary series of the same name that tells the story of the superhero in American popular culture. Together again for the first time, here come the greatest comic book superheroes ever assembled between two covers: down from the heavens—Superman and the Mighty Thor—or swinging over rooftops—the Batman and Spider-Man; star-spangled, like Captain America and Wonder Woman, or clad in darkness, like the Shadow and Spawn; facing down super-villains on their own, like the Flash and the Punisher or gathered together in a team of champions, like the Avengers and the X-Men! Based on the three-part PBS documentary series Superheroes, this companion volume chronicles the never-ending battle of the comic book industry, its greatest creators, and its greatest creations. Covering the effect of superheroes on American culture—in print, on film and television, and in digital media—and the effect of American culture on its superheroes, Superheroes: Capes, Cowls, and the Creation of Comic Book Culture appeals to readers of all ages, from the casual observer of the phenomenon to the most exacting fan of the genre. Drawing from more than 50 new interviews conducted expressly for Superheroes!—creators from Stan Lee to Grant Morrison, commentators from Michael Chabon to Jules Feiffer, actors from Adam West to Lynda Carter, and filmmakers such as Zach Snyder—this is an up-to-the-minute narrative history of the superhero, from the comic strip adventurers of the Great Depression, up to the blockbuster CGI movie superstars of the 21st Century. Featuring more than 500 full-color comic book panels, covers, sketches, photographs of both essential and rare artwork, Superheroes is the definitive story of this powerful presence in pop culture.
If you dare to become your own Superhero, rest assured that life will never be the same! In her twenty years as a nurse, Michelle Heath witnessed an incredible amount of pain and suffering. Overweight, with uncontrolled high blood pressure and unhappy, Heath believed she had nothing to do with the mess her life was in. It wasn't until she realized that she wasn't simply an innocent bystander in her own life that she began to take control. Written as part of Heath's own healing and as a means to help others on their own path to inner freedom and peace, 7 Principles to Become Your Own Superhero is a real-life book that explains how to find-and love-the Superhero inside of you. Heath's seven principles are aimed at women who understand that there are no quick fixes. Change will occur only by re-programming the way you think. I enjoyed this book. I like your candor, clarity and talent. -Maya Angelou The powerful messages in 7 Principles to Become Your Own Superhero acknowledge how difficult it is for women to change behaviors and thought processes hammered into their heads for centuries. Even when it doesn't feel right, women continue to do things they know are wrong. Poetry by Lissette Norman
We all have a superhero within us... waiting to be unleashed. Both at work and at home, our lives are growing more and more hectic, and it can be hard to survive, much less, thrive at the pace of progress. Technology has brought new and better ways to create, to communicate, and to collaborate, but has also filled our time with clutter, craziness, and chaos. There is more potential than ever to fill our careers and our lives with magical experiences, but we seldom make enough time or space to realize that potential. Agents of CHANGE is a collection of snackable stories, examples, and fables that provide ideas and insights for creating a super powered innovation program, organizational culture, and purposeful life. While our lives are surrounded by kryptonite that can keep us from finding and fulfilling our purpose, this book will help you to unleash your inner superhero and to become an Agent of Change.
Given the state of our planet, it is no coincidence that superheroes have captured our imagination like never before. Superheroes are imbued with magical powers that challenge the laws of space and time, and offer us a vision of a world that can change. By exploring the boundaries of energy and awareness, superheroes can help us save the planet in a very real way. From Buddha's search for truth, to Batman's struggle with his dark side, from Wolverine exposing his greatest fears, to Hanuman's divine gifts of inspiration, bestselling author Deepak Chopra and his son Gotham, author and co-founder of Liquid Comics, decode the essential laws that govern the realm of superheroes. As they explain the importance of these seven transformative laws and how they can help us all to achieve greater happiness and courage, balance and creativity, they also reveal how each law has the potential to awaken us to our own superpowers. Together, they offer the potential to change our lives and the world around us.
