Western walker This is a story of the Coming of Age of a young man, a story of hope, a story that is meant to amuse, to move, at best, to enlighten. It´s about a young man who represents us all as we seek to find ourselves in life. He graduates from college yet declares himself a conscientious objector against the Viet Nam War and serves his time. He experiences the loss of his father and other loved ones. He also experiences good and wonderful times in his travels. While he can cry for all the pain that he or the rain can never cure, he still finds a way to remain hopeful. He can still find something to dream about while he takes out the trash. Diamond in the night The tale of friendship of three different souls-a Dapper Englishman, a young Midwesterner and even young easterner who represent a classic California mix. Each has story to tell in his quest for spiritual wholeness-to belittle one while enhancing another only coaxes irony to dictate surprises with truth stranger than fiction. Someone like you In the modern-day world of shattered dreams, two people meet and struggle to defy the odds. Can they live out what they never had or is their struggle just another chapter in Too-soon-old-too-late-smart?

Nothing to Do with Dionysos?

Athenian Drama in Its Social Context

By: John J. Winkler

The more we learn about the original production of tragedies and comedies in Athens the more it seems wrong even to call them plays in the modern sense of the word, ' write the editors in this collection of critically diverse innovative essays aimed at restoring the social context of ancient Greek drama.

Teaching Students to Drive Their Learning

A Playbook on Engagement and Self-Regulation, K-12

By: Douglas Fisher,Nancy Frey,Sarah Ortega,John Hattie

High levels of engagement—it’s not an impossible dream. But to attain it we need to focus on what galvanizes learning, and ensure we are offering the tools and mindsets with which students can lean in. In this playbook, an ace team of educators give us the goods to guide self-starting learners. Nine modules show us how to: Cohere standards, success criteria, tasks, and goals so students can travel clear pathways Offer tools that allow learners to recognize the gap between their current performance and the expected performance, and select strategies to close that gap Talk with students about engagement as a continuum, and that there are actions they can take to heighten their buy-in to any endeavor Stress-test our lesson plans to ensure students can discuss, debate, create and problem-solve around highly relevant content Use lots of low-stakes assessment and feedback routines to develop effective collaboration that doesn’t depend on us. Our job as teachers is to guide learning experiences that build knowledge and self-efficacy. But from there, we need to stay on the sidelines and let students play. Only then will they develop the muscle to persevere, the strategic actions to excel, and the confidence to make our curriculum the springboard of their own dreams and goals.

New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry

By: John R. Geddes,Nancy C. Andreasen,Guy M. Goodwin

Over its two editions, The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry has come to be regarded as one of the most popular and trusted standard psychiatry texts among psychiatrists and trainees. Bringing together 146 chapters from the leading figures in the discipline, it presents a comprehensive account of clinical psychiatry, with reference to its scientific basis and to the patient's perspective throughout. The New Oxford Textbook of Psychiatry, Third Edition has been extensively re-structured and streamlined to keep pace with the significant developments that have taken place in the fields of clinical psychiatry and neuroscience since publication of the second edition in 2009. The new edition has been updated throughout to include the most recent versions of the two main classification systems---the DSM-5 and the ICD-11---used throughout the world for the diagnosis of mental disorders. In the years since publication of the first edition, many new and exciting discoveries have occurred in the biological sciences, which are having a major impact on how we study and practise psychiatry. In addition, psychiatry has fostered closer ties with philosophy, and these are leading to healthy discussions about how we should diagnose and treat mental illness. This new edition recognises these and other developments. Throughout, accounts of clinical practice are linked to the underlying science, and to the evidence for the efficacy of treatments. Physical and psychological treatments, including psychodynamic approaches, are covered in depth. The history of psychiatry, ethics, public health aspects, and public attitudes to psychiatry and to patients are all given due attention.

A Graphical Approach to College Algebra

By: John Hornsby,Margaret L. Lial,Gary K. Rockswold

This major revision reflects the authors combined years of experience as classroom teachers, and underscores their enthusiasm for the use of the graphing calculator as a teaching tool. Their approach is to present the various classes of functions, examine the nature of its graph, and discuss the analytic solution of equations based on that function. Then, graphical support for the solution is provided with a graphing calculator. Using graphing technology to study math has opened up a new area of error analysis, so the authors have included a What Went Wrong feature to discuss typical errors. Throughout, the accent is on using both analytical and graphical methods to solve interesting applications for various functions. The new edition also includes a reference chapter on basic algebraic concepts for those needing a refresher course.
