Knowing Audiences
Exploring the influence ""action"" films have on audiences, this book considers how people relate to and are influenced by such films as Judge Dredd.
The Reform Artists
When Katie Silkwood falsely accuses her husband, Martin, of domestic violence, in order to gain the upper hand in their pending divorce case, she exposes him to a harsh legal system that treats "alleged" abusers as "non-persons," trampling on their rights, destroying their reputations and severing their ties to loved ones. But unlike most men who find themselves in this predicament, Martin has a powerful ally in his corner: A resourceful, underground network that is willing to take extreme measures to make sure he gets a fair trial. Follow the action, as the clock ticks down toward the final, courtroom showdown in this simmering drama about the perils innocent men often face in the surreal world that is modern-day American divorce.
Martyn Pig
With his father dead, Martyn has a choice. Tell the police what happened - and be suspected of murder. Or get rid of the body and get on with the rest of his life. Simple, right? Not quite. One story leads to another. Secrets and lies become darker and crazier. And Martyn is faced with twists and turns that leave him reeling. Life is never easy. But death is even harder.
In Search of Understanding
The activities that transpire within the classroom either help or hinder students' learning. Any meaningful discussion of educational renewal, therefore, must focus explicitly and directly on the classroom, and on the teaching and learning that occur within it. This book presents a case for the development of classrooms in which students are encouraged to construct deep understandings of important concepts. Jacqueline Grennon Brooks and Martin Brooks present a new set of images for educational settings, images that emerge from student engagement, interaction, reflection, and construction. They have considerable experience in creating constructivist educational settings and conducting research on those settings. Authentic examples are provided throughout the book, as are suggestions for administrators, teachers, and policymakers. For the new edition of their popular book, the authors have written an introduction that places their work in today's educational renewal setting. Today, they urge, the case for constructivist classrooms is much stronger and the need more critical. Note: This product listing is for the Adobe Acrobat (PDF) version of the book.
In Search of Understanding
