Not Just Victims contains twelve oral histories based on conversations with Cambodian community leaders in eight American cities -- Long Beach, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Portland, Tacoma, and the Massachusetts towns of Fall River and Lowell. Unlike the dozens of autobiographies published by Cambodians that focus largely on their victimization, these narratives describe how Cambodian refugees have adapted to life in the United States. Sucheng Chan's extensive introduction provides a historical framework; she discusses the civil war (1970-75), the bloody Khmer Rouge revolution (1975-79), the border war during the Vietnamese occupation of Cambodia (1979-89), and the additional travails faced by those who escaped to holding camps in Thailand. The book also includes an essay on oral history and a substantial bibliography.
In an age of globalization and connectivity, the idea of "mainstream culture" has become quaint. Websites, magazines, books, and television have all honed in on ever-diversifying subcultures, hoping to carve out niche audiences that grow savvier and more narrowly sliced by the day. Consequently, the discipline of graphic design has undergone a sea change. Where visual communication was once informed by a designer's creative intuition, the proliferation of specialized audiences now calls for more research-based design processes. Designers who ignore research run the risk of becoming mere tools for communication rather than bold voices. Design Studies, a collection of 27 essays from an international cast of top design researchers, sets out to mend this schism between research and practice. The texts presented here make a strong argument for performing rigorous experimentation and analysis. Each author outlines methods in which research has aided their designwhether by investigating how senior citizens react to design aesthetics, how hip hop culture can influence design, or how design for Third World nations is affected by cultural differences. Contributors also outline inspired ways in which design educators can teach research methods to their students. Finally, Design Studies is rounded out by five annotated bibliographies to further aid designers in their research. This comprehensive reader is the definitive reference for this new direction in graphic design, and an essential resource for both students and practitioners.

The basic objective in teaching spelling is to familiarize pupils with the sound-symbol and structural characteristics of our English vocabulary in order that they may become discriminating observers of words wherever they see them. To achieve this, this series follows ten basic steps: Introduce the most frequently used words in an orderly sequence; present words organized by the phonetic and structural characteristics which govern the anatomy of English vocabulary; make provision for irregularly spelled words; synchronize the encoding and decoding skills which are complimentary facets of the English coding system; relate spelling skills to other writing skills; develop the habit of proofreading; incorporate dictionary skills systematically; provide review to ensure permanent mastery; effective testing; provide opportunities for reinforcing and extending skills.

Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin de Francueil naît à Paris en 1804. Fille d’un officier de l’armée impériale, elle est aussi l’enfant d’un siècle nouveau, qui s’ouvre sur toute une génération d’écrivains et d’artistes romantiques, dont elle fera partie. En 1822, elle épouse le baron François Casimir Dudevant et obtient son titre. La naissance de George Sand survient huit ans plus tard, à la faveur des Trois Glorieuses, qui marquent sa première prise de conscience politique. Elle quitte Nohant pour rejoindre Paris, commence à écrire, prend part à un groupe de littéraires romantiques et endosse une redingote masculine. Indiana, publié en 1832, marque le début d’une longue série de soixante-dix romans, auxquels s’ajoute une cinquantaine de nouvelles, pièces de théâtre et textes politiques. Sa vie intime est faite de liaisons passionnées, d’amours orageuses en compagnie de Musset, et de générosité envers ses amis artistes. Séparée de son mari, elle s’engage en 1848 aux côtés de Louis Blanc, soutient la cause féminine et participe à la lutte contre les inégalités sociales en publiant dans plusieurs journaux tels que la Cause du Peuple ou la Vraie République. De nombreuses lithographies issues de la presse d’opposition fleurissent alors à son encontre. Dans sa maison de Nohant, haut-lieu de la vie Romantique au XIXe siècle, George Sand reçoit les plus brillants esprits de l’époque : des écrivains comme Alexandre Dumas ou Gustave Flaubert, des cantatrices comme Pauline Viardot, son ami le peintre Eugène Delacroix, Jérôme Bonaparte, cousin germain de l’Empereur Napoléon 1er, ou encore le compositeur Frédéric Chopin, avec qui elle partage sa vie pendant près de dix ans. Cet ouvrage dresse le portrait intime, intellectuel et politique de cette femme, partagée entre deux classes sociales, mais actrice des changements d’un siècle. Le mythe qu’elle s’est construit elle-même grâce à son travail, ses engagements et sa manière avant-gardiste de réfléchir sur son époque, fait aujourd’hui d’elle, la plus grande femme de lettres du XIXe siècle. Audrey Pennel est Docteure en Histoire de l’art, diplômée de l’Université de Bourgogne. Elle anime régulièrement des conférences traitant de sujets relatifs au Moyen Âge tardif ou au XIXe siècle, notamment à propos du mouvement Romantique dans les arts, en politique et littérature, dont George Sand demeure une illustre représentante.
