Wild Fading Laughter
Victor Carroll is not a good person-but he wants to be. In trouble with the mob-he flees the city for his suburban hometown. Helped by his estranged brother-he escapes with his life-and takes refuge in rural South Africa. There he befriends a young orphan boy named Themba. The two become fast friends. But danger still looms. Victor risks his life to protect Themba from the greatest evil they have ever known. Through their sacrifices-and the tragic violence that ensues-Victor and Themba learn the wisdom of love-that life itself is about loving everyone and telling the truth-no matter how impossible the task may seem.

Plateau Indian Ways with Words
In Plateau Indian Ways with Words, Barbara Monroe makes visible the arts of persuasion of the Plateau Indians, whose ancestral grounds stretch from the Cascades to the Rockies, revealing a chain of cultural identification that predates the colonial period and continues to this day. Culling from hundreds of student writings from grades 7-12 in two reservation schools, Monroe finds that students employ the same persuasive techniques as their forebears, as evidenced in dozens of post-conquest speech transcriptions and historical writings. These persuasive strategies have survived not just across generations, but also across languages from Indian to English and across multiple genres from telegr...
How Schools Meet Students' Needs
Meeting students’ basic needs – including ensuring they have access to nutritious meals and a sense of belonging and connection to school – can positively influence students’ academic performance. Recognizing this connection, schools provide resources in the form of school meals programs, school nurses, and school guidance counselors. However, these resources are not always available to students and are not always prioritized in school reform policies, which tend to focus more narrowly on academic learning. This book is about the balancing act that schools and their teachers undertake to respond to the social, emotional, and material needs of their students in the context of standardized testing and accountability policies. Drawing on conversations with teachers and classroom observations in two elementary schools, How Schools Meet Students’ Needs explores the factors that both enable and constrain teachers in their efforts to meet students’ needs and the consequences of how schools organize this work on teachers’ labor and students’ learning.
