Providing an overview of the history of genocide worldwide, the book explores the paradox that while a person who murders another person can be tried and even executed for the crime, a person who murders hundreds or thousands of people usually goes free. Using case studies the book points out their unique character while at the same time establishing important links between them. Most important, the book answers the question, what can be done to prevent genocide from happening in the future?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"[The Groundwork Guides] are excellent books, mandatory for school libraries and the increasing body of young people prepared to take ownership of the situations and problems previous generations have left them.\" — \u003cem\u003eGlobe and Mail\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCite textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.2\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermine a central idea of a text and how it is conveyed through particular details; provide a summary of the text distinct from personal opinions or judgments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.3\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnalyze in detail how a key individual, event, or idea is introduced, illustrated, and elaborated in a text (e.g., through examples or anecdotes).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RI.6.6\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDetermine an author's point of view or purpose in a text and explain how it is conveyed in the text.\u003c\/p\u003e"}

His father spends the long winter months as a guide, leading voyageurs into the northwest to trade with the Indigenous Peoples for furs. Now it is Rendezvous, when the voyageurs paddle back to Fort William with their packs of furs, and North West Company canoes come from Montreal bringing supplies for the next season.

Some of the stories strike a familiar chord. There is the tiny child, no bigger than a thumb, who outwits a giant; the poor farmer who cannot feed his children and leaves them abandoned in the forest; the princess who breaks an enchantment and releases a prince. Yet the tales are filled with the unexpected, too, as humans, monsters and the natural world transform and intersect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA princess who is pursued by two kings from neighboring kingdoms sacrifices herself to keep peace in the land, and is transformed into a sea creature that will provide nourishment for all her people. A crying baby, ignored by his mother, turns into a bird, teaching villagers a valuable lesson. A jealous concubine poisons the king's son so her own child can inherit the kingdom, only to find her son going off to search for his half-brother, never to return.
