        Citizen now

        Engaging in politics and democracy

        by Elizabeth C. Matto

        Citizen now offers a comprehensive description of the composition and behavior of young adults, an explanation and critique of the study of youth engagement, and a unique approach and methodology for appreciating how and why "citizen now" engages in politics and democracy. Citizen now considers youth political participation from the perspective of young adults themselves - specifically, young adults who've organized around an issue of great concern to Millennials, their economic well-being. The perfect text for undergraduates exploring the fundamentals of government, political behavior, and citizenship, this text's fresh take on the important subject of youth engagement offers both a path for future research and practical guidance on how to engage "citizen now" in politics and democracy.

        TOLINGA, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LOCOMOTIVE

        by Text: Juan Francisco Bascuñán / Illustrations: Carolina Monterrubio / Music: Marta Mearin

        Tolinga, a cheerful locomotive, travelled around the country transporting people and food. However one day she was unable to continue traveling, because the authorities decided to remove the rail lines, due to the arrival of buses and planes as a means of transportation. The inhabitants protested so as to save Tolinga from destruction and managed to extend its useful life as part of a museum in the city. In it Tolinga continues to transport people, but now through far away imaginary places. The final part of the book explains in simple terms the phenomenon of global warming and climate change. This book is an invitation to the youngest to act in a responsible manner, contributing to the path towards sustainability from early childhood.

        by Riccardo Francaviglia

Then he grew up and became a colossus. A colossus is a problem and nobody wants to have any problems. An album to tell how to be too big, or just different, can be a problem, and nobodywants problems. But for mothers, no child is a problem and perhaps there is a placewhere they aren’t giants. An album about the acceptance and love of mothers, and countries that know how to open their doors.
