(Danny and the Trip to Outer Space is written and illustra...)
Danny and the Trip to Outer Space is written and illustrated by 8 year old author, David T. Lee. This book contains 16 chapters, 6,500 words and 6 full color illustrations. It is the sequel of Danny and the Portal of the World (published by David in 2011 when he was 7 years old). The story starts when Danny accidentally spills soda on one of his birthday gifts, a RC plane, and it enlarges enough so it could fit Danny's whole family inside it. Unfortunately, Danny's house is destroyed when the machine starts up and the family decides to travel to Massachusetts (from England). On the way, they run into Grandpa Garth's plane and all of Danny's relatives join Danny's family. Two hours later, after a nap, Danny finds out that the spacecraft has flown through the atmosphere and they have entered outer space. They land on the Moon and have a fun time there. When they come back to their spacecraft, 100 Martian Spacebattlers attack the spacecraft. The only way Danny and his passengers could survive the attack was to fire their own cannons. They eventually win the battle and head on farther from Earth and more into outer space. Later, they go through a wormhole and meet a few oddities there, like another Earth with a hotel and a strange planet where most of it is made out of food. And you must read on to see how Danny's experience comes together while traveling through the dangers and mystifications of outer space.

( A contemporary, problem-oriented approach to internatio...)
A contemporary, problem-oriented approach to international relations. Why are there wars? Why do countries struggle to cooperate to prevent genocides or global environmental problems? Why are some countries rich while others are poor? Organized around the puzzles that draw scholars and students alike to the study of world politics, this book gives students the tools they need to think analytically about compelling questions like these. In the Second Edition, two new chapters―one on civil war and terrorism and one on international law―bring the book’s successful approach to additional topics. Added features stress real-world applications and provide extensive study and review help, making the authors’ analytical approach even more accessible and engaging.
