From the acclaimed author of Superfolks and The Dreams of Ada comes this tale of the human struggle, of love and war, sorrow and joy, death and renewal, faith and doubt... all seen from the ferret's point of view. Ezra Wroth is a man of today, a master of science but facing his own mortality, struggling with an array of uncertainties. His children are adults with more exuberance than wisdom, his own past holds dark secrets, and the world around him has plans for him he cannot imagine. Into his life comes Cleo, a ferret who understands him better than he understands himself... or is what is happening not quite what it seems?"Bold and original . . . If you're ready to catch anything a book can throw at you, dive in." -- Rain Taxi Review of Books

Eric Arthur Blair (Motihari, Raj Británico, 25 de junio de 1903 -Londres, Reino Unido, 21 de enero de 1950), más conocido por el seudónimo de George Orwell, fue un escritor y periodista británico, cuya obra lleva la marca de las experiencias personales vividas por el autor en tres etapas de su vida: su posición en contra del imperialismo británico que lo llevó al compromiso como representante de las fuerzas del orden colonial en Birmania durante su juventud; a favor de la justicia social, después de haber observado y sufrido las condiciones de vida de las clases sociales de los trabajadores de Londres y París; en contra de los totalitarismos nazi y stalinista tras su participación en la Guerra Civil Española. Además de cronista, crítico de literatura y novelista, Orwell es uno de los ensayistas en lengua inglesa más destacados de los años treinta y cuarenta del siglo XX. Sin embargo, es más conocido por sus dos novelas críticas con el totalitarismo y publicadas después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Rebelión en la granja (1945) y 1984 (1949), escrita en sus últimos años de vida y publicada poco antes de su fallecimiento, y en la que crea el concepto de Gran Hermano, que desde entonces pasó al lenguaje común de la crítica de las técnicas modernas de vigilancia. En 2008, figuraba en el puesto número dos del listado de los cincuenta escritores británicos de mayor relevancia desde 1945, elaborado por The Times. El adjetivo orwelliano es frecuentemente utilizado en referencia al distópico universo totalitarista imaginado por el escritor inglés.

This book's goal is to provide children an understanding of what a policeman does and some of the stresses that police face. It is also meant to humanize police and show that they are fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. The media tends to emphasize (for ratings) negativity. On a daily basis the fact that the vast majority of police officers are protecting and serving tends to get lost in media negativity. This book is not an apology for any action by any police force anywhere. It is a firm compliment for that vast number of police out there on a daily basis, doing their best, to protect and serve the public.

It can be positive. Goshen Exclusion is just one such positive exclusion that you really need in you in your life.
