The cases themselves present everyday examples of the ways in which racism, sexism, homophobia and heterosexism, class inequities, language bias, religious-based oppression, and other equity and diversity concerns affect students, teachers, families, and other members of our school communities. Largely lacking from existing case study collections, this framework guides readers through the process of identifying, examining, reflecting on, and taking concrete steps to resolve challenges related to diversity and equity in schools. The book begins with a seven-point process for examining case studies. Existing cases have been updated to reflect new societal contexts, and streamlined for ease-of-use. This revised edition adds ten new cases to offer greater coverage of elementary education, as well as topics such as body-shaming, Black Lives Matter, and transgender oppression. The accessibly written cases allow educators to practice the process of considering a range of contextual factors, checking their own biases, and making immediate- and longer-term decisions about how to create and sustain equitable learning environments for all students. Pothini.Ĭase Studies on Diversity and Social Justice Education offers pre- and in-service educators an opportunity to analyze and reflect upon a variety of realistic case studies related to educational equity and social justice.

The twists didn’t really end up playing out in a meaningful way in the end. I felt like some subplots were introduced just to provide shock value or for fan service. There were a lot of unnecessary subplots that didn’t add much to the story. I definitely think the book suffered due to its length. I cringe saying that as it’s one of the biggest cardinal sins a book could suffer from. I desperately wanted to like House of Sky and Breath, but ultimately, I found myself bored while reading it. However, if Crescent City is the only series you’ve read of hers or you’ve been on the fence about this series, I’m not sure this book will be for you. Maas fan, I think you’re going to love House of Sky and Breath book. I cry every time I read the last 20% of the book, given the sacrifices people make for those they love. That book really shines in those areas, and it packs a heavy emotional punch. Yes, it does take a second for the world-building to click, but I love its exploration of friendship, love and grief. I have not reviewed House of Earth and Blood, but it’s one of my favorite Sarah J. Second, I adored the first book in the Crescent City series. I’m not a die-hard stan, but I overall really enjoy her stories. I have been since I got to read an ARC of Throne of Glass way back in 2012. This review will be a little different as I had zero intentions of reviewing this book as I wanted to read it for fun.įirst off, I want to say I am a Sarah J. Links: Amazon – Barnes & Noble – Goodreads He followed that up with an excursion that could only have come about in 2020-Nick and his wife, Megan Mullally, bought an Airstream trailer to drive across (several of) the United States. In 2018, Wendell Berry posed a question to Nick, a query that planted the seed of this book, sending Nick on two memorable journeys with pals-a hiking trip to Glacier National Park with his friends Jeff Tweedy and George Saunders, as well as an extended visit to his friend James Rebanks, the author of The Shepherd's Life and English Pastoral. In his new book, Nick takes a humorous, inspiring, and elucidating trip to America's trails, farms, and frontier to examine the people who inhabit the land, what that has meant to them and us, and to the land itself, both historically and currently. Nick Offerman has always felt a particular affection for the Land of the Free-not just for the people and their purported ideals but to the actual land itself: the bedrock, the topsoil, and everything in between that generates the health of your local watershed. A humorous and rousing set of literal and figurative sojourns as well as a mission statement about comprehending, protecting, and truly experiencing the outdoors, fueled by three journeys undertaken by actor, humorist, and New York Times bestselling author Nick Offerman The first volume of this series introduces the readers to a peculiar world divided into three realms and peopled by a wide variety of beings: all of them are humanoid looking but show some differences in coloring and appearance that make us realize quite soon there are no humans as such on this world, a place where plains and mountains give way to rivers and seas and even offer the breathtaking spectacle of floating islands, that reminded me of some amazing vistas from James Cameron’s Avatar. I’ve been aware of this series since the appearance of the first book, and I’ve kept reminding myself to see what it was all about every time I saw news about the release of a new installment or a positive review, but as it often happens I kept procrastinating in favor of other books: now, mostly thanks to the enthusiastic review of a fellow blogger, I’ve decided it was high time. Her book was initially published in the 70s Schreiber was a journalist and writer who specialised in the field of psychiatry. Sybil was analysed by Dr Cornelia Wilbur in the 1950s. It did perform the valuable service of sending me back to Flora Rheta Schreiber’s account of the psychoanalysis of ‘Sybil’ a 16 multiple personality. I read this fascinating account of dissociation and fragmentation into multiple personalities many years ago, but have just re-read it, after reading a completely different kind of book (a novel) which dealt with the subject, and was, in my opinion, a poor book. More of the cells in our bodies do not share our DNA than are ‘us’ – we are indeed all multiples The physiognomy of a deserted highway expresses solitude to a degree that is not reached by mere dales or downs, and bespeaks a tomb-like stillness more emphatic than that of glades and pools. At one place, where a hill is crossed, the largest of the woods shows itself bisected by the high-way, as the head of thick hair is bisected by the white line of its parting. Here the trees, timber or fruit-bearing, as the case may be, make the way- side hedges ragged by their drip and shade, stretching over the road with easeful horizontality, as if they found the unsubstantial air an adequate support for their limbs. The rambler who, for old association or other reasons, should trace the forsaken coach-road running almost in a meridional line from Bristol to the south shore of England, would find himself during the latter half of his journey in the vicinity of some extensive woodlands, interspersed with apple-orchards.

This difference lends itself nicely to creating a world that is wild and dangerous and whose human inhabitants can only ponder what some items would have been used for in days gone by. Unlike many post apocalyptic novels, this story isn’t set in the immediate aftermath of societies collapse but a few hundred years after. |
