Immediately popular when published over a century and a half ago, Jane Eyre has continued to find appreciative audiences since. This student casebook offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to the study of Charlotte Bronte's landmark novel. While it gives insightful literary analysis, it also contextualizes the novel in terms of the historical social issues it confronts. Expert commentary is supported with primary documents from legal and medical treatises, magazine articles, letters, essays and first hand accounts. A personal biography written by Elizabeth Gaskell, an acquaintance of Bronte, offers a detailed account of the Cowan Bridge School which Charlotte attended and fictionalized in Jane Eyre. Educators will find ideas for teaching these topics and for helping students see the connections between the novel and the social concerns it raises. Devoted to close examination of such topics as the diagnosis and treatment of madness and inheritance and marriage law and custom, this work will help students to understand historical cultural influences of yesterday. Contemporary issues such as education and mental illness raised by Jane Eyre are also discussed. Each section offers valuable ideas for written and oral exploration including role playing, debates, and journal writing assignments. Chapters conclude with suggestions for further reading.

Old photographs offer subjective and evocative evidence of the way we lived and worked in years past. Images of America: Mocksville shares the photographic story of the development of the town of Mocksville and its people to the mid-1900s. Named the seat of newly created Davie County in 1839, the town of Mocksville, originally known as Mocks Old Field, existed as early as the Revolutionary War. Photographs support documentary evidence of various trades as well as agricultural pursuits. Not all buildings or homes survive a town's growth, and Mocksville provides evidence of the passing parade of homes that did not survive. History comes alive as we rediscover and share old photographs and contemplate what they divulge of past times and lives.

“Revolution, not reform, is required to release the power of teaching .... Virtually, all teachers possess tremendous power which can be released, given the proper exposure. We can’t get to that point by tinkering with a broken system. We must change our intellectual structures, definitions and assumptions; then we can release teacher power.” (Hilliard, 1997) This book was written during a time of growing upheaval and disagreement about how America should educate its students, particularly those who are poor, diverse, and failing school. Dominant educational research, newspapers, and popular movies such as “Waiting for Superman” continually fuel public debates about whether our 21st century schools provide justice for all, decrease the achievement gap, and leave no child behind. However, even though one of teachers’ greatest concerns and why many leave the profession, classroom discipline is rarely brought to the forefront of discussion. As a result, public discourse does not get into what actually happens during disciplinary moments that ultimately leads to the disproportional tracking of particular students into exclusionary school disciplinary consequences, which funnels an underclass of students into the school-to-prison pipeline. This book is a scholarly study, presented here as a readable story, and practical guide for walking teachers, administrators, and teacher education programs through the process of transforming traditional ways of thinking about classroom discipline and teaching in order to create student-centered, creative, non-punitive classrooms that authentically engage the most alienated and oppressed students in our schools and society.
In this thriller by the author of The Secrets We Bury, danger continues for a doctor grappling with an enigmatic past and the threat of a serial killer. Doctor Rowan Dupont knows a serial killer is coming for her. Julian Addington has been waiting. Watching. And it’s only a matter of time before he strikes. But what Julian doesn’t know is that Rowan is ready for him. And more than anything she wants answers. How well did the depraved killer actually know her mother? And how many lies have been spun in the years since she took her own life? Working alongside her childhood friend Police Chief Billy Brannigan, Rowan is determined to get to the bottom of her mother’s puzzling suicide once and for all—even if it means exposing an unsettling past. It certainly seems like her family’s Victorian funeral home has borne witness to more than one dark secret, but when a recent double homicide leads to an even grislier discovery, separating the truth from the lies might be the last thing Rowan does.

Came Again Today is a fiction novel that consists of twenty-five chapters of Southern hospitality, of hardships, and of slavery as Big Bill and Neva Dawns uncertain journey unfolds from the Karmans plantation to the rugged low ground in Alabama near Leach Creek. Those were horrible days on the Karmans plantation of loved ones disappearing never to be seen again. Big Bill had struggled and schemed for over 15 years to escape the detestable conditions of the plantation, and all the hardships made his quest for freedom even greater. The Karmans were fond of both Neva and Big Bill especially Mrs. Karman who had a diffi cult time to let them leave the plantation as she was responsible for delaying their freedom for eight years. She held the deed papers for land her late husband had granted the Dawns for their ultimate freedom. As the Dawns departed the Karman plantation, they vowed never to return. As they traveled, they refl ected back on their experiences as children on the plantation, how they became a couple, the desire for a family, and having their own home on their land. Neva was barren for fi fteen years when departing the Karman plantation, but Big Bill believed they would still have the opportunity to have children under less stringent conditions as free people. Their journey becomes temporarily interrupted and intertwined with circumstances surrounding the Stanley family. The Stanleys were one of the elite families in Jeff erson County. The Stanley family drama focused upon their two twin daughters, Molly and Lolly. The midwife, Odessa, had a daughter who became impregnated by Mr. Stanley around the same time as his wife. With the desire for her grandchild to have a better life, Odessa places her grandchild, Molly, as a twin to Mrs. Stanleys daughter, Lolly. Upon discovering the truth, Mrs. Stanley disengages aff ection to her favorite twin of the family making Mollys life miserable. However, Molly meets a rich well-to-do gentleman, Flango Scott, and they fall head over heels in love with each other before her untimely death on the eve of her sisters wedding. Mollys body was exhumed by Lollys husband, Patterson, to determine the mystery surrounding Mollys death since she was a young individual without any medical concerns. Finally the Dawns reached Leach Creek, and Big Bill built his cabin from trees he cut from his own land. While cut ting through bushes, he cut through a clearance and there across the creek on a slight hill was the schoolhouse created from the summerhouse that Scott was planning to prepare for his beloved Molly. The school was built to educate all underprivileged children. After fi fteen painful long years of being barren, Nevas wildest dream came true, discovering she was with child. The Dawns welcomed the opportunity to have their children to attend that school someday.

Debra Brawner has beautifully illustrated in her stories, biblical wisdom, and family-pleasing recipes that the art of cooking is not lost. Our ever-present time crunch and the availability of restaurants and prepared foods have led some straight out of the kitchen, but Debra gently leads us right back, into the pleasure of cooking. She stirs not only the comforting pot of soup, but our souls as well. She cooks up far more than delicious food, but that which satisfies and strengthens the soul and spirit. I love her tour through the biblical fruits of the Spirit and her recipes that they inspire. Here is a book showcasing the heart of God toward us, with a practical guide to good food. God creates the fruit and then puts it into the hands of His people like Debra to prepare it and dish it out to a hurting world. It is wonderful to observe and experience the fruit of the Spirit growing in a person. It produces a renewed heart, a different way of thinking and good will toward God and people. That is a recipe for happiness and fulfilled destiny, and obtainable for each of us as we receive Gods love and learn His ways. These wonders are served up within these pages. Dianne Davis, Southwest US Director for Aglow International

The biography recounts Rosenberg's full story for the first time. Art critic for The New Yorker from 1962 until 1978, Rosenberg, together with Clement Greenberg, radically reshaped the interpretation of art in the post-World-War-II period by promoting and examining abstract expression. But Rosenberg was also a social and literary critic-writing about art was just one aspect of his work. Harold Rosenberg: A Critic's Life weaves together Rosenberg's life and literary production, cast against the dynamic intellectual and social ferment of his time. Rosenberg's mid-century linking of the New York School with the art establishment, together with his observations on the commodification of the artwork and the evisceration of the "self" in favor of celebrity (especially in his often-cited essay "The Herd of Independent Minds") make this book especially topical"--
‘If what stands in your way is too high to climb, too hard to dig under or too big to go round – it’s time for mountain-moving prayer!’ – Anthony Delaney, Ivy Church, Manchester The toughest challenges can be tackled, defeated and shifted aside by faith-fuelled prayer. Relational struggles, financial strangleholds, emotional strife; whatever your mountain, through prayer God’s power can move it. The huge challenges casting shadows across our communities can also be addressed through prayer. ‘God will move our personal mountains, but we mustn’t stop there. His goal is to transform the lives of those around us as well,’ observes Debra. ‘God’s call to me from the very beginning was to focus prayer on the big, specific issues causing social fragmentation: lack of aspiration amongst young people, elderly isolation, family failures, distrust and separation between ethnic groups. These mountains need moving in most neighbourhoods.’ ‘I work with police colleagues of many faiths and many of no faith – all are in awe when they witness what can be unlocked in this way.’ – Olivia Pinkney QPM MA, Chief Constable, Hampshire Constabulary Author and popular speaker Debra Green OBE runs ROC (Redeeming Our Communities).

Through the lens of cognitive science, Jokes and the Linguistic Mind investigates jokes that play on some aspect of the structure and function of language. In so doing, Debra Aarons shows that these 'linguistic jokes' can evoke our tacit knowledge of the language we use. Analyzing hilarious examples from movies, plays and books, Jokes and the Linguistic Mind demonstrates that tacit linguistic knowledge must become conscious for linguistic jokes to be understood. The book examines jokes that exploit pragmatic, semantic, morphological, phonological and semantic features of language, as well as jokes that use more than one language and jokes that are about language itself. With its use of jokes as data and its highly accessible explanations of complex linguistic concepts, this book is an engaging supplementary text for introductory courses in linguistics, psycholinguistics and cognitive science.
The power I have over death–to connect our world with the Otherworld–isn’t a gift like I was led to believe. It’s a curse. I still don’t know how my unique “gift” as a blood witch works and have no idea how to protect myself. Which is exactly what I need to do when I step outside of my family’s magically protected home and find myself a magnet for the dead. Now with only a clue from Gram-Gram to go on, I’m on a mission to find a man I’ve never met and who no one has seen in ages: my Grandpa. That is, if the French Quarter witches and vampires don’t stop me. Turns out they don’t want to, though. Not when I could inadvertently lead them to the key they need to control the city. I can’t do this alone, but only the dead can help me piece together these clues. Worse? The only soul among them who holds the answer to my search is a dark and unholy spirit, equally bent on destroying me. This fast-paced, action-packed, young adult, paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magical bloodline family is ideal for fans of The Originals and Charmed.
