book cover: A Sociology of Special Education (Rle Edu M)

At the time of original publication, special education in Britain was permeated by an ideology of benevolent humanitarianism and this is ostensibly the moral framework within which the professionals teachers, educational psychologists, medical officers operate. The author widens the debate about special education by introducing sociological perspectives and considering the structural relationships that are produced both within the system and in the wider society when part of a mass education system develops separately, as 'special' rather than normal. She outlines the origin and development of special education, stressing the conflicts involved and the role played by vested interests, and criticizes the current rhetoric of 'special needs'. Among the issues and dilemmas that she identifies, the problems of selection, assessment, integration and the curriculum for special schools are discussed in details, and the position of parents, pupils and teachers within the system is examined. The author gives particular attention in a separate chapter to the problems and position of ethnic minorities.

book cover: The Choir Boats

London, 1812 - Yount, Year of the Owl What would you give to make good on the sins of your past? For merchant Barnabas McDoon, the answer is: everything. When emissaries from a world called Yount offer Barnabas a chance to redeem himself, he accepts their price to voyage to Yount with the key that only he can use to unlock the door to their prison. But bleak forces seek to stop him: Yount's jailer, a once-human wizard who craves his own salvation, kidnaps Barnabas's nephew. A fallen angel, a monstrous owl with eyes of fire, will unleash Hell if Yount is freed. And, meanwhile, Barnabas's niece, Sally, and a mysterious pauper named Maggie seek with dream-songs to wake the sleeping goddess who may be the only hope for Yount and Earth alike.

book cover: From Harleyville to Beulah Land

Author June Gardner wondered to whom she owed her Christian heritage. Did her good fortune come to her because of the faith of her fathers? Could she find evidence that her ancestors were Christians who passed their faith and teachings on to their children? Through research into her family, she found tombstone epitaphs, obituaries, and other old records assuring Gardner that most of her ancestors were Christians. This is their story. From Harleyville to Beulah Land is both a genealogy reference as well as a captivating narrative revealing interesting details about ancestors and descendants. During the tracing of her roots, Gardner realized her family story is one of great contrasts. While her paternal great-great-grandfather was said to have been a scoundrel, Gardner's maternal second great-grandfather, was a fine, churchgoing family man. Dark secrets and tragedies are soon revealed. Contained in this volume are over one hundred photographs and maps, twenty-three charts, and six appendices which include old family documents, poems and recipes. An index makes this family history especially conducive to researching names, places, and subjects. A fascinating family history from a Christian perspective is chronicled in From Harleyville to Beulah Land --all while revealing the joys, mistakes, and sorrows of past generations, ultimately illustrating God's loving forgiveness of those who accept Christ into their heart.

book cover: Teaching Young Adult Literature Today

Teaching Young Adult Literature Today introduces the reader to what is current and relevant in the plethora of good books available for adolescents. More importantly, literary experts illustrate how teachers everywhere can help their students become lifelong readers by simply introducing them to great reads—smart, insightful, and engaging books that are specifically written for adolescents. Hayn, Kaplan, and their contributors address a wide range of topics: how to avoid common obstacles to using YAL; selecting quality YAL for classrooms while balancing these with curriculum requirements; engaging disenfranchised readers; pairing YAL with technology as an innovative way to teach curriculum standards across all content areas. Contributors also discuss more theoretical subjects, such as the absence of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) young adult literature in secondary classrooms; and contemporary YAL that responds to the changing expectations of digital generation readers who want to blur the boundaries between page and screen.

book cover: Elizabeth Taylor: la biografía de la mujer más hermosa del mundo

David Heymann revela sus escándalos más públicos, pero también sus momentos más íntimos. Desde su salud deficiente y sus frecuentes fracturas óseas, pasando por sus problemas alimentarios y sus repetidas batallas contra las drogas y el alcohol, hasta sus turbulentos affaires, ésta es la enormemente contradictoria e innegablemente glamurosa vida de la última gran estrella de Hollywood.
