Winner of the National Book Award for Young People's Literature, the Michael L. Printz Award, and the Pura Belpré Award! Fans of Jacqueline Woodson, Meg Medina, and Jason Reynolds will fall hard for this astonishing New York Times-bestselling novel-in-verse by an award-winning slam poet, about an Afro-Latina heroine who tells her story with blazing words and powerful truth. Xiomara Batista feels unheard and unable to hide in her Harlem neighborhood. Ever since her body grew into curves, she has learned to let her fists and her fierceness do the talking. But Xiomara has plenty she wants to say, and she pours all her frustration and passion onto the pages of a leather notebook, reciting the words to herself like prayers--especially after she catches feelings for a boy in her bio class named Aman, who her family can never know about. With Mami's determination to force her daughter to obey the laws of the church, Xiomara understands that her thoughts are best kept to herself. So w...

"Teacher" offers a new approach to professional development that focuses on building an individual teaching personality, rather than following a rule book. Most teacher manuals talk about what teachers need to do. That's useful enough, especially for new teachers. But no list, however long, can anticipate every circumstance, and in teaching unusual circumstances are an integral part of everyday life. But how do experienced teachers know what to do? Successful teachers develop a Teaching Character; they've worked on the qualities and personality traits that they need in order to cope successfully with the full spectrum of situations that being a teacher can involve. Veterans don't ask themselves, 'What does the teaching guide book tell me?' when confronted with difficult situations - they react instinctively, based on the character skills they've developed over time. Unfortunately, for most people this process of learning is unguided, and unconscio...

Nos ensaios aqui reunidos, Marilena Chaui interroga a gênese e o sentido da ideologia da competência desde o momento da regulação fordista ao momento neoliberal, concentrando-se na análise de duas instituições: a universidade e a indústria cultural. Na medida em que é adaptada pela estrutura autoritária e hierarquizada da sociedade brasileira, a ideologia da competência, tornando-se princípio de organização das universidades, não só justifica a estrutura social vigente, como também contribui para reproduzi-la sem transformações de base. Chaui desmascara o discurso modernizador dos neoliberais ao mostrar que, longe de promover a democratização da sociedade brasileira, não estavam senão acentuando sob vestes moderninhas a dominação tecnocrática autoritária que se iniciara com a "modernização conservadora" da ditadura. Na análise da indústria cultural, Chaui mostra como a programação televisiva forma sujeitos narcisistas que não conseguem exercer uma cidadania democrática e cons...

In the midst of polarized communities and nations, religious leaders across the theological spectrum are seeking help with how to respond and lead in troubled times. The need for courage to speak out and act is ever-present, because every generation faces a new set of fears and troubles.

Thomas Hennell (1903-45) said his aim was to 'surprise his subject' - to capture the transient quality of the moment. In watercolour he found his perfect medium, producing work which was, as his fellow artist Edward Bawden said, 'fully expressive and technically perfect'. During an idyllic childhood in rural Kent Hennell discovered his love of the English countryside. He explored its fields, farms and woods, and later, travelling on a rusty old bicycle, developed an appreciation of England's traditions and crafts. Much of his work records the countryside in a state of change, imbuing his sense of loss with poetic intensity. In the early 1930s, Hennell suffered a severe breakdown and later described the three years he spent in mental hospitals in his memoir The Witnesses (1938), an astonishing document in a period when stigma still attached to mental illness. Hennell's remarkable talent for friendship survived his years of mental turmoil. Jessica Kilburn...

'No one has done more to reveal the intentional and underhanded ways in which food companies manipulate our desires and eating habits than Michael Moss' -- Mark Bittman 'A very important read for anyone who cares about their health' -- Sylvia Tara 'Moss shows us how we can win our freedom back' -- Charles Duhigg Everyone knows how hard it can be to maintain a healthy diet.

In Hooked, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter Michael Moss sets out to answer these questions and to find the true peril in our food.

A unique comic-illustrated exploration of the rich vocabulary derived from body parts in Arabic We are all married to our bodies, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. As a result, the body is a hard-wired, powerful presence in thought and speech. Rooted in the Body: Arabic Metaphor and Morphology considers this basic premise of linguistic embodiment and shows how it is especially true of Arabic. Consciously and unconsciously, speakers of Arabic use reams of vocabulary derived from the body, making it an ideal springboard for a deeper and more nuanced understanding of Arabic morphology. Structurally speaking, Arabic is a language built on abstract roots, short sequences of single consonants that are systematically modified to produce actual vocabulary. Learning to recognize and manipulate those roots is an invaluable skill, especially for non-native adult learners, because it lightens their memorization load significantly. Rooted in the Body uses del...
