K Street
A young woman sits in a café, waiting for the last bus, leaving at midnight. Elza, an extraordinarily beautiful woman is waiting for the same bus. They wait together, spending hours side by side. In the beginning, they are only two strangers, sitting in wait, but the relationship between them develops. Elza becomes an obsession. She is someone sitting beside the other young woman, giving meaning to the waiting, infusing life into the mundane afternoons with her presence alone. Elza is now her habit; she has always been waiting for her. One day, Elza does not show up. The young woman is jealous of whomever Elza is with instead of her—jealous of the reason Elza is somewhere else. Perhaps Elza has found another place to wait for the bus, another friend. The young woman goes to find her obsession, and this search drives her into a Kafkaesque revelation, searching for the meaning of life.
The Soldier with the Golden Buttons - Adapt for Youth
The Soldier with the Golden Buttons - Adapt For Youth "The Soldier with the Golden Buttons - Adapt For Youth" presents a child's view of the Holocaust. It is the story of Jewish children wrenched from a carefree childhood to be overwhelmed by the brutal savagery of war. A few days are enough to turn them into adults forced to content with hunger and thirst, fear of death, and with the horror of being taken away from their mothers. Closed in a wagon, children are helping each other. The relation between six-year-old Biba and three-year-old Nicole written in warmth simplicity is most touching, and the tragic end of Nicole burns itself into the reader's mind and heart. Only their inner world of childlike imagination of dreams and fairy tales, can help them confront reality while maintaining their innocence.
The Soldier with the Golden Buttons
Presents a child's eye view of the Holocaust in Yugoslavia.
The Red Scarf
Jewish mafia godfather Ben Gold is dead and the file is closed as far as law enforcement is concerned. His widow is attending college and living on the millions of dollars of ill-gotten gain that Ben had left her, and trying to put the life of a moll behind her. But once again, even from beyond the grave, Ben Gold drags her back into the dangerous world of gangster and guns. When handsome FBI agent Adam Fairchild is introduced as a guest lecturer, she feels immediately drawn to him, and he to her. A steamy love affair ensues and soon she risks her life by revealing her darkest secret to him. He too reveals a secret, and together they hatch a plan for her to infiltrate the dark and cavernous world of the Levine crime family and somehow bring them all to justice. She meets with J. Edgar Hoover, gets her orders, takes an oath, and embarks on a brave and danger-filled journey teeming with suspense and close calls throughout. Along the way she discovers that she is a strong and capable woman who earns the trust of the bad guys and the respect of the law enforcement officials.
The Theory and Practice of Development Education
Development education is much more than learning about development; it is a pedagogy for the globalised societies of the twenty-first century that incorporates discourses from critical pedagogy and postcolonialism, and a mechanism for ensuring that differing perspectives are reflected within education, particularly those from developing countries. Learning about development and global issues is now part of the school curriculum in a number of countries, and terms such as global citizenship, sustainable development and cultural understanding are commonplace in many educational contexts. Development education has been recognised as one of the educational discourses that has influenced the acce...
Precious Heritage
From the lush forests of Appalachia to the frozen tundra of Alaska, and from the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest to the subtropical rainforests of Hawaii, the United States harbors a remarkable array of ecosystems. These ecosystems in turn sustain an exceptional variety of plant and animal life. For species such as salamanders and freshwater turtles, the United States ranks as the global center of diversity. Among the nation's other unique biological features are California's coast redwoods, the world's tallest trees, and Nevada's Devils Hole pupfish, which survives in a single ten-by-seventy-foot desert pool, the smallest range of any vertebrate animal. Precious Heritage draws together fo...
Margins of memory: Anti-Semitism and the destruction of the Jewish community in Prekmurje
Razprava je nastala v okviru mednarodnega projekta »Zamolčani holokavst: spomin na deportacijo prekmurskih Judov« ter je izčrpen prikaz ene najbolj groznih in žalostnih epizod sodobne svetovne in slovenske zgodovine. Besedilo je razdeljeno na dva dela, in sicer opis priprav in izvedbo »največjega organiziranega zločina v zgodovini civilizacije« ter predstavitev prizorišč tega zločina na slovenskih tleh. V prvem delu avtor osvetli okoliščine, zaradi katerih je do holokavsta in genocida nad slovanskimi narodi sploh prišlo oziroma zakaj in kako sta iz obrobnih ekstremističnih fašističnih in nacističnih idej vzniknila kar dva totalitarna imperija in kako sta človeštvo pripeljala do največje katastrofe v zgodovini. V drugem delu je podrobno predstavljeno dogajanje na slovenskih tleh, s poudarkom na Prekmurju, kjer so do leta 1944 delovale tri dobro organizirane in za pokrajino izjemno pomembne judovske skupnosti. Abstraktna in težko predstavljiva tragičnost druge svetovne vojne je tako predstavljena skozi konkretne usode pregnanih in skozi zgodbe o tistih, ki se niso nikoli vrnili.
The Body in the Stacks
Jeremiah Cuthbert Shelby (JC), an ex navy man who suffers from congenital sea sickness, goes back to college in a small town in Iowa after one enlistment tour to get his degree in criminal Justice. With a part time job in the college library he is in an ideal position to put his academic plans to premature use when the body of a young library assistant is discovered in a vault in the Special Collections stacks. Romance enters the picture when he is ably assisted in his sleuthing by Susan, a part time library employee. There turns out to be more than one murder which makes the case too much for the local Chief of Police, the professors, or the leading citizens of Avon, Iowa.
Troubled Dreams
Troubled Dreams is concerned with the cruelties and moments of despair that all human beings endure. Against these darker moments the poems find value in faith, stoicism and patience: they find that endurance and love can heal the heart.
Communicational Criticism
Further developing the line of argument put forward in his Literature as Communication (2000) and Mediating Criticism (2001), Roger D. Sell now suggests that when so-called literary texts stand the test of time and appeal to a large and heterogeneous circle of admirers, this is because they are genuinely dialogical in spirit. Their writers, rather than telling other people what to do or think or feel, invite them to compare notes, and about topics which take on different nuances as seen from different points of view. So while such texts obviously reflect the taste and values of their widely various provenances, they also channel a certain respect for the human other to whom they are addresse...
