Organizadora: Samantha Dias de Lima Cartas ao Professor Iniciante é uma obra resultante da pesquisa Constituição docente do professor iniciante: um estudo de caso na Rede Municipal de Educação de Farroupilha/RS coordenada pela professora Samantha Dias de Lima no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Rio Grande do Sul - Campus Farroupilha. Contudo, este livro transcende a pesquisa e se caracteriza em um contributo coletivo dirigido aos professores em início de carreira. Nossa escrita em forma de cartas busca dialogar com esses docentes ampliando o repertório desses colegas recém-chegados ao mundo da docência, de modo que possa sentir-se acolhido no desenvolvim...
Diante das novas configurações curriculares de Ensino Médio, esta obra apresenta em caráter de investigação das percepções dos jovens estudantes, considerando que são esses sujeitos em desenvolvimento para um mundo em constante transformação. As jovens gerações serão as primeiras a atravessar o século XXI, o que implica no potente significado da escuta por meio da pesquisa neste momento histórico. Poder discutir o que nos evidenciam, vem a somar com a estruturação coletiva de um novo Ensino Médio que se empenha em propostas curriculares inovadoras, ativas e (co)criativas, com foco no pensamento crítico, na colaboração engajada e na construção de conhecimentos relevantes. Nesse sentido, reconhece-se a contínua aposta no diálogo com as juventudes, para e na constituição de projetos de vida significativos, através do investimento no protagonismo dos estudantes, na convivência democrática e na busca por novas formas de educar, evangelizar e promover integralmente a vida.
A escrita de uma obra coletiva que representa as elaborações de um grupo de pesquisadoras e pesquisadores iniciantes no decorrer dos últimos cinco anos é motivo de orgulho e de muita responsabilidade. Nesta obra, intitulada “Apontamentos para uma agenda de pesquisa sobre as políticas curriculares no Brasil”, procuramos colocar em evidência os estudos que desenvolvemos junto à linha de pesquisa Formação de professores, currículo e práticas pedagógicas do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Educação da Universidade do Vale do Rio dos Sinos (UNISINOS). A intenção de indicar apontamentos para uma agenda de pesquisa cumpre uma tarefa bastante modesta, qual seja: a necessidade de reenquadrar nossos conceitos diante dos desafios emergentes neste início de século XXI.
An international bestseller which has sold over a million copies in the UK, Dreams From My Father is a refreshing, revealing portrait of a young man asking big questions about identity and belonging. The son of a Black African father and a white American mother, Barack Obama recounts an emotional odyssey, retracing the migration of his mother's family from Kansas to Hawai'i, then to his childhood home in Indonesia. Finally he travels to Kenya, where he confronts the bitter truth of his father's life and at last reconciles his divided inheritance. Written nearly fifteen years before becoming president, Dreams from My Father is an unforgettable read. It illuminates not only Obama's journey, but also our universal desire to understand our history and what makes us who we are.
Why Jazz Happened is the first comprehensive social history of jazz. It provides an intimate and compelling look at the many forces that shaped this most American of art forms and the many influences that gave rise to jazz’s post-war styles. Rich with the voices of musicians, producers, promoters, and others on the scene during the decades following World War II, this book views jazz’s evolution through the prism of technological advances, social transformations, changes in the law, economic trends, and much more. In an absorbing narrative enlivened by the commentary of key personalities, Marc Myers describes the myriad of events and trends that affected the music's evolution, among them, the American Federation of Musicians strike in the early 1940s, changes in radio and concert-promotion, the introduction of the long-playing record, the suburbanization of Los Angeles, the Civil Rights movement, the “British invasion” and the rise of electronic instruments. This groundbreaking book deepens our appreciation of this music by identifying many of the developments outside of jazz itself that contributed most to its texture, complexity, and growth.
About Trees considers our relationship with language, landscape, perception, and memory in the Anthropocene. The book includes texts and artwork by a stellar line up of contributors including Jorge Luis Borges, Andrea Bowers, Ursula K. Le Guin, Ada Lovelace and dozens of others. Holten was artist in residence at Buro BDP. While working on the book she created an alphabet and used it to make a new typeface called Trees. She also made a series of limited edition offset prints based on her Tree Drawings.

A previously untranslated classic of Portuguese feminist literature originally published in 1978, Carvalho's Empty Wardrobes introduces English-speaking readers to a forgotten and underappreciated woman writer a la recent publishing sensations Lucia Berlin, Natalia Ginzburg, Ingeborg Bachmann, Silvina Ocampo, and Armonia Somers. Empty Wardrobes is a tightly plotted, highly entertaining read, that, thanks to an ingenious detached narrative technique (one that makes the plot all the more fun to revisit and rethink), is both darkly humorous and devastatingly true.
Decades after the rise of rock music in the 1950s, the rock concert retains its allure and its power as a unifying experience - and as an influential multi-billion-dollar industry. In Rock Concert, acclaimed interviewer Marc Myers sets out to uncover the history of this compelling phenomenon, weaving together ground-breaking accounts from the people who were there. Myers combines the tales of icons like Joan Baez, Ian Anderson, Alice Cooper, Steve Miller, Roger Waters and Angus Young with figures such as the disc jockeys who first began playing rock on the radio; the audio engineers that developed new technologies to accommodate ever-growing rock audiences; music journalists, like Rolling St...
This book is written at a time when our own field of adult education is under assault from a variety of capitalist and neoconservative forces pressuring us... to turn away from the causes of criticality, lifelong learning, and education for freedom. Rather than succumb to these pressures, we have hope that our long term goals of education for life and living can and will be accomplished alongside professional and vocational education. This book offers new insight into what is a very dark moment of our human civilization. From the preface by Dr Carlos Alberto Torres, Professor, GSEIS, Director, Paulo Freire Institute, University of California at Los Angeles The book offers decidedly critical ...
