Mathematical Literacy

Developing Identities of Inclusion

By: Yvette Solomon

Why do so many learners, even those who are successful, feel that they are outsiders in the world of mathematics? Taking the central importance of language in the development of mathematical understanding as its starting point, Mathematical Literacy explores students’ experiences of doing mathematics from primary school to university - what they think mathematics is, how it is presented to them, and what they feel about it. Building on a range of theory which focuses on community, knowledge, and identity, the author examines two particular issues: the relationship between language, learning, and mathematical knowledge, and the relationship between identity, equity, and processes of exclusion/inclusion. In this comprehensive and accessible book, the author extends our understanding of the process of gaining mathematical fluency, and provides tools for an exploration of mathematics learning across different groups in different social contexts. Mathematical Literacy’s analysis of how learners develop particular relationships with the subject, and what we might do to promote equity through the development of positive relationships, is of interest across all sectors of education—to researchers, teacher educators, and university educators.

Aim High, Achieve More

How to Transform Urban Schools Through Fearless Leadership

By: Yvette Jackson,Veronica McDermott

Many urban educators live in fear: of their schools being labeled failures, of increasingly punitive sanctions, of loss of respect and livelihood. This fear pervades the entire school community, affecting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of its members. The authors of this guide to transformation in urban schools are convinced that the key ingredient for school renewal is fearless leadership. Fearless leaders work in schools under-resourced and overburdened and serve disproportionately large numbers of children who live in poverty and face racism daily. They are ordinary educators committed to proving that demographics need not be destiny. This inspirational yet practical book will help you bridge the divide that separates urban students from their birthright of a high-quality education. You will learn how to * Adopt a leadership approach, consisting of affirmation, inspiration, and mediation (AIM), that will transform your school into a flourishing learning community. * Build a leadership team of important stakeholders--including students--that is committed to improvement. * Tap into the resources that already exist in your school and jettison institutional arrangements that prevent your school from becoming an enriching and creative community. * Create supports that enable teachers to nurture their students' potential to meet high standards and become self-actualized learners. Each chapter closes with reflections and activities that will help your leadership team produce its own roadmap for change. Succeeding in the tough landscape of urban schools requires more than just passion and a sense of urgency; it requires real skills. Aim High, Achieve More provides insights gleaned from real-world experiences that will enable you to create a successful, vibrant learning environment.

The Medicina Plinii

Latin Text, Translation, and Commentary

The Medicina Plinii

Latin Text, Translation, and Commentary

By: Yvette Hunt

This book presents the first ever English translation of the Medicina Plinii, one of the most influential books of applied medicine and self-medication in Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages. The work, which predates AD 400, was created as a quick reference work for travellers, and became and remained highly influential, as witnessed by frequent references to it and by various later adaptations. Only the rise of scientific medicine and pharmacology led to its demise and confinement in a small corner of specialist studies. It presents more than 1,150 healing methods and recipes mainly adapted from the encyclopedic Natural History of Pliny the Elder, arranged from the patient’s head to foot in order that readers could quickly find treatments for their diseases. The Medicina Plinii is of dual interest to present-day scholarship: The book is a monument for the practical application of classical knowledge which has recently found lively interest in the history of science and medicine. At the same time the Medicina Plinii provides a fascinating insight into the realities of the world of Late Antiquity, and into the anxieties of the people living in the vast Roman empire. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and advanced students in the History of Science and Medicine, along with a wider audience interested in medicine, and in life in the Roman world.

The Lebensborn Experiment

By: Joyce Yvette Davis

Amid the chaos and destruction of World War II, racial profiling runs rampant. After kidnapped children whose appearances fail to meet the Nordic ideal are taken to concentration camps, some are used in experiments to satisfy the Reichs quest for Aryan Superiority. It is April 28, 1945, and a sinister struggle between life and death secretly takes place high in a dingy tower of a medieval castle in the Black Forest. Under the watchful eyes of Nazi Colonel Otto Strass, notorious inventor Dr. Josef Weiss injects a ten-year-old Polish boy with an experimental serum, killing him---that is, until the child, Adok, is miraculously resurrected with unforeseen side effects. Meanwhile, somewhere in the castle dungeon, a Negro American soldier, Sergeant Kapp Johnson, awaits ceremonial execution. But things go awry. On that same day, Hitlers unexpected suicide throws the castle into bedlam. In the ensuing confusion, Kapp is mistakenly given the serum. In a matter of minutes, Kapp has been given a gift even God cannot bestow upon him: eternal life on Earth. In this exciting historical thriller, an American soldier and a Polish boy who unwittingly become victims of the Nazi regime in the final days of World War II must find a way to escape their fate and find their way back homebefore it is too late.

An Ethical Poetics

By: Yvette Christianse

Toni Morrison: An Ethical Poetics

An Ethical Poetics

By: Yvette Christianse

Toni Morrison: An Ethical Poetics situates Toni Morrison as a writer who writes about writing as much as about racialized, engendered, and sexualized African American, and therefore American, experience. In foregrounding the ethics of fiction writing, the book resists any triumphalist reading of Morrison's achievement in order to allow the meditative, unsettled, and unsettling questions that arise throughout her long labor at the nexus of language and politics, where her fiction interrogates representation itself.Moving between close reading and critical theory, Toni Morrison: An Ethical Poetics reveals the ways in which Morrison's primary engagement with language has been a search for how and what language is made to communicate, and for how and what speaks in and from generation to generation. There is no easy escape fromsuch legacy, no escape into a pure language free of the burdens of racialized agendas. Rather, there is the example of Morrison's commitment to writerly, which is to say readerly, wakefulness.At a time when sustained study devoted to single authors has become rare, this book will be an invaluable resource for readers, scholars, and teachers of Morrison's work.

Fountain in the Valley

By: Dr. Yvette Hickman, MD

Fountain in the Valley is about the breaking process and the beautiful transformation of us--God's earthen vessels--into the beautiful bride of Christ. It chronicles the spiritual journey to the humility and brokenness required to be fit for the Master's service. This body of work was literally born in a dream, which is depicted on the front cover as prophetic art. Fountain in the Valley also includes original poetry. One poem eloquently describes submission to God--allowing him to lead the dance of life. Many inspirational and transparent testimonies appear throughout the book, where you'll read of individuals going through purification processes. The details of real-life medical miracles are highlights of each chapter. The roles of traditional medicine and God's healing power are explored and united.

Transculturalism and Business in the BRIC States

A Handbook

By: Yvette Sánchez,Claudia Franziska Brühwiler

Transculturalism and Business in the BRIC States, edited by Yvette Sánchez and Claudia Franziska Brühwiler, is the first handbook on the BRIC States that offers a transcultural perspective, which goes beyond the typical ’how to’ manuals or economic projections and provides an understanding of transculturalism as it is studied and practiced in the respective countries themselves. This unique reference book also offers insights into the relations between the corresponding states and the challenges facing those trying to foster more intense business exchanges. The reader learns to interpret cross-cultural issues from the perspectives of the BRIC states themselves and gains insight into the way scholars in the BRIC area reflect on transculturalism. Moreover, it introduces the reader to fresh visualizations that help consider transculturalism beyond the known categories. The book will appeal, on the one hand, to practitioners who are active in the BRIC states and wish to better grasp the challenges to business relations, as well as the intra-area dynamics and, on the other hand, to scholars in transcultural studies and international management, due to its insider approach. Since the book combines theoretical concepts with a clear geographic focus and a critical approach to traditional models, it is suitable for both academic audiences as well as for practitioners who appreciate a sound theoretical base and a fresh take on a subject.

Are you really waiting: On God's promise for a divine spouse?

By: Fern Yvette Harris

In the Body of Christ, many women are waiting for God to send them a husband. However, the truth is that many of the husbands have come and gone because the women failed to discern who he was when he arrived. When your divine connection comes it is possible that you may be more involved in a fantasy about some other man and will not be ready to receive your blessing. Or you may fail to prepare yourself spiritually and will not be able to hear clearly from the Lord about which one is the right one. You may also fail in spiritual strength and will not be able to stand in the midst of all the voices of people that will try to tell you what to do and what decision to make. This book will open your eyes to the true tricks that the adversary is using against women in the church and what to do about it. Print on demand (POD) information: It has been my experience that a book order is printed, shipped, and delivered in a total of 4 days.

Brain-Gut Interactions

By: Yvette Tache,David L. Wingate

Brain-Gut Interactions serves as a reference source and stimulus for expanded research efforts aimed at unravelling the pathophysiology of brain-gut interactions. Within the general framework of brain-gut interactions, it covers the various areas in which this growing interdisciplinary field has evolved. Topics discussed in this volume include the topography and morphology of afferent and efferent connections between the gut and the medulla and hypothalamic nuclei, the role of afferent and efferent pathways in the regulation of gastrointestinal function, the brain's regulation of gastrointestinal secretory and motor function, and the function of peripheral and central cholecystokinin in the mechanisms of satiety. The final section of this book focuses on topics such as stress, emesis, visceral pain, and brain-related disorders of the intestine based on experimental and clinical data. Students and investigators working with brain-gut interactions, gastroenterologists, psychologists, and psychiatrists will find this book to be an essential reference resource.

Something Beautiful Happened

A Story of Survival and Courage in the Face of Evil

By: Yvette Manessis Corporon

Yvette Manessis Corporon grew up listening to her grandmother's stories about how the people of the small Greek island Erikousa hid a Jewish family -- a tailor named Savvas and his daughters -- from the Nazis during World War II. Nearly 2,000 Jews from that area died in the concentration camps, but even though everyone on Erikousa knew Savvas and his family were hiding on the island, no one ever gave them up, and the family survived the war. Years later, Yvette couldn't get the story of the Jewish tailor out of her head. She decided to track down the man's descendants -- and eventually found them in Israel. Their tearful reunion was proof to her that evil doesn't always win. But just days after she made the connection, her cousin's child was gunned down in a parking lot in Kansas, a victim of a Neo-Nazi out to inflict as much harm as he could. Despite her best hopes, she was forced to confront the fact that seventy years after the Nazis were defeated, it was still happening today. As Yvette and her family wrestled with the tragedy in their own lives, the lessons she learned from the survivors of the Holocaust helped her confront and make sense of the present.

Transitional Justice in Nepal

Interests, Victims and Agency

Transitional Justice in Nepal

Interests, Victims and Agency

By: Yvette Selim

The conflict in Nepal (1996 – 2006) resulted in an estimated 15,000 deaths, 1,300 disappearances, along with other serious human rights and humanitarian law violations. Demands for peace, democracy, accountability and development, have abounded in the post-conflict context. Although the conflict catalysed major changes in the social and political landscape in Nepal, the transitional justice (TJ) process has remained deeply contentious and fragmented. This book provides an in-depth analysis of transitional justice process in Nepal. Drawing on interviews with a diverse range of stakeholders, including victims, ex-combatants, community members, human rights advocates, journalists and representatives from diplomatic missions, international organisations and the donor community, it reveals the differing viewpoints, knowledge, attitudes and preferences about TJ and other post-conflict issues in Nepal. The author develops an actor typology and an action spectrum, which can be used in Nepal and other post-conflict contexts. The actor typology identifies four main groups of TJ actors—experts, brokers, implementers and victims—and highlights who is making claims and on behalf of whom. The action spectrum, based on contentious politics literature and resistance literature, demonstrates the strategies actors use to shape the TJ process. This book argues that the potential of TJ lies in these dynamics of contention. It is by letting these dynamics play out that different conceptualisations of TJ can arise. While doing so may lead to practical challenges and produce situations that are normatively undesirable for some actors, particularly when certain political parties and national actors seem to ‘hijack’ TJ, remaining steadfast to the dominant TJ paradigm is also undesirable. As the first book to provide a single case study on TJ in Nepal, it makes theoretical and empirical contributions to: TJ research in Nepal and the Asia-Pacific more broadly, the politics versus justice binary and the concept of victimhood, among others. It will be of interest to a wide range of scholars in the study of transitional justice, peace and conflict studies, human rights, sociology, political science, criminology, law, anthropology and South Asian Studies, as well as policy-makers and NGOs.

Culturally Responsive Practices in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Second Edition

By: Yvette D. Hyter,Marlene B. Salas-Provance

Culturally Responsive Practices in Speech, Language, and Hearing Sciences, Second Edition provides an innovative perspective on cultural responsiveness in the field of communication sciences and disorders. It is imperative for clinicians and scientists to be aware of diverse aspects of globalization: how these aspects may affect their own knowledge, strengths, biases, and interventions, as well as the relationships between the communities, families, and individuals with whom they partner in care. This essential textbook will facilitate the creation of knowledge and the development of attitudes and skills that lead to culturally responsive practices. The text presents conceptual frameworks to guide readers toward cultural responsiveness by becoming critically engaged users of culturally responsive and globally engaged practices. The text is focused on speech, language, and hearing, but also draws from theoretical frameworks in other disciplines for an interprofessional, transdisciplinary, and macro practice perspective, and is appropriate for other allied health professions. New to the Second Edition: * Reorganized chapters and text for a greater flow of information. * Updated throughout to reflect the current state of research. * A thoroughly revised chapter on Culturally Responsive Practices using a Human Rights Approach through a Social Justice Lens (Chapter 4) * Material on Culture and Hearing (Chapter 6) has been updated and expanded * Key terms are now bolded throughout the text. * Content has been edited to be more concise for increased readability and comprehension. * New reflection focus with thought cloud graphic noted to target these areas throughout the book. Key Features: * Case studies facilitating knowledge and skills regarding culturally and linguistically responsive practices * Journal prompts and discussion questions challenging individuals to use critical and dialectical thinking * Real-life activities that can be completed inside or outside the classroom or therapeutic setting * Suggested readings from the current literature in cultural and linguistic responsiveness and global engagement to build knowledge and skills, and to influence student attitudes Disclaimer: Please note that ancillary content (such as study guides, flashcards, and additional readings) may not be included as published in the original print version of this book.

Newcomers, Outsiders, and Insiders

Immigrants and American Racial Politics in the Early Twenty-first Century

By: Rodney E. Hero,Ronald Schmidt,Andrew L. Aoki,Yvette M Alex-Assensoh

The authors have done a commendable and impressive job of addressing a topic of long-lasting and increasing significance in U.S. politics." ---F. Chris Garcia, University of New Mexico "This is a path-breaking book that will be read across disciplines beyond political science." ---James Jennings, Tufts University Over the past four decades, the United States has experienced the largest influx of immigrants in its history. Not only has the ratio of European to non-European newcomers changed, but recent arrivals are coming from the Asian subcontinent, Southeast Asia, South America, and other regions which have not previously supplied many immigrants to the United States. In this timely study, a team of political scientists examines how the arrival of these newcomers has affected the efforts of long-standing minority groups---Blacks, Latinos, and Asian Pacific Americans---to gain equality through greater political representation and power. The authors predict that, for some time to come, the United States will function as a complex multiracial hierarchy, rather than as a genuine democracy. Ronald Schmidt, Sr. is Professor of Political Science at California State University, Long Beach. Yvette M. Alex-Assensoh is Associate Professor of Political Science and Dean of the Office for Women's Affairs (OWA) at Indiana University, Bloomington. Andrew L. Aoki is Professor of Political Science at Augsburg College. Rodney E. Hero is the Packey J. Dee Professor of American Democracy at the University of Notre Dame.

Innervation of the Gut

By: Yvette Tache,David L. Wingate,Thomas F. Burks

Innervation of the Gut provides a stimulating discussion of gut innervations based on exciting developments generated by advanced neuroanatomical and electrophysiological approaches. All components of the nervous system are covered, including central, spinal, autonomic, and enteric systems. This information is relative to secretory, motor, and immune regulatory functions of the gut, as well as visceral sensation. Brain transmitters involved in mediating stress-induced alterations of gastrointestinal motor function and the central regulation of vagal outflow to the gut are discussed in detail. The book will stimulate basic scientists and gastroenterologists to expand research efforts that may enable them to unravel the mechanisms of brain-gut interactions under physiological and pathological conditions. Students, psychologists, and psychiatrists will find Innervation of the Gut an essential reference for their studies.

Best Friends

Best Friends

By: Yvette Nachmias-Baeu

Best Friends tells the story of two aspiring young women whose correspondence span a period of twenty-seven years, during the sixties, when they are involved in the Downtown art, theater, music and political scene of the time, encountering and befriending people like; Bob Dylan, Dustin Hoffman, Shel Silverstein, Phil Ochs, Sam Shepard, Anna Halperin, Timothy Leary, Andre Gregory, Spaulding Gray, Eli Seigel, Andy Warhol, and ends during the eighties when their lives have spun off into widely divergent paths, one of them tragically. It is the story of a brilliant woman with remarkable vitality whose life was often interrupted by bouts of acute schizophrenia. While the story is personal, the letters also catalog the wider world events. As Beth becomes a successful travel writer, her letters are sent from Ireland during the Troubles, from Israel in the wake of the six-day war, and from Berlin just after the building of the Wall. You hear the authentic voices of two women growing up, and then growing older, at the heart of the 20th century--reflecting on their lives and wondering about their future against the fast-changing background of social and political turmoil, as men land on the surface of the moon. The letters are real (rediscovered in the back of a file drawer) and offer insight, not just about the lives of these particular women but perhaps all women who came of age at that time and place, seen through the lens of a remarkable friendship."--

No Sacred Cows

Investigating Myths, Cults, and the Supernatural

By: David G. McAfee,Yvette d'Entremont

While belief in religious supernatural claims is waning throughout the West, evidence suggests belief in nonreligious supernatural claims is on the rise. What explains this contradiction? How can a society with a falling belief in God have a rising belief in ghosts, psychic powers, ancient astronauts, and other supernatural or pseudo-scientific phenomena? Taking the same anthropological approach he employed in his notable studies of religion, atheist author and activist David G. McAfee turns his attention to nonreligious faith-based claims. Whether going undercover as a medium, getting tested at Scientology headquarters in Los Angeles, or interviewing celebrity paranormalists and famous skeptics, he leaves no stone unturned in his investigation. As in the case of religion, he finds an unwillingness among "believers" to critically examine their most closely held convictions. Only once individuals honestly assess their own sacred cows will they be able to ensure that their beliefs conform to the known facts—and that our decisions as a society are based on the best available evidence.
