Ladies who Lunge: Essays on Difficult Women dances through history with the unconventional woman. Witty and refreshing, the tone, texture and feeling of the words on the page are as unconventional as the plucky women who punctuate the prose. It is a tough, determined, moving, frank and funny review of difficult women: how they got there, how we can understand their actions, and how we can learn from them.

Jack Nelson finds himself at the center of a storm. An unexpected candidate for President, he is virtually guaranteed to win if he follows the advice of his political advisors. But following their advice requires a compromise of his principles, and a betrayal of his father's memory. Jack Nelson is forced to deal with staff members more concerned with their professional success than his election. He and his family must confront a media biased in favor of controversy over accuracy, and the threat of scandal created by an unscrupulous incumbent President fighting to hold on to power. The Cronkite Campaign is a journey punctuated by choices between what is expedient and what is right. Jack Nelson lives in a political world, where the best choice is not always clear.
Explores women's experiences within contemporary society in a domestic and global context.

This text follows the progress of two groups of learners in late immersion programmes. It adds to the literature on such programmes by its emphasis on the processes of learning in such programmes. Another aim of the book is to extend knowledge of learning processes in character-based languages.
Memory work – the conscious remembering and study of individual and shared memories – is increasingly being acknowledged as a key pedagogical tool in working with children. Giving students opportunities and support to remember and study their selves as individuals and as communities allows them to see their future as something that belongs to them, and that they can influence in some way for the better. This edited volume brings together essays from scholars who are studying the interconnections between pedagogy and memory in the context of social themes and social inquiry within educational research. The book provides a range of perspectives on the social and pedagogical relevance of memory studies to the educational arena in relation to the themes of memory and method, revisiting childhood, memory and place, addressing political conflict, sexuality and embodiment, and inter-generational studies.
