Hooray for Breezy!

Scott Howard; Wendy A Williams

Welcome to Fire's Breath, a town full of delightfully different, daring, and determined dragons. With enormous pride in their ability to perform fantastic feats of flying, they compete every year to see who will win the title of the Fiercest Flyer. All the dragons get excited about the contest That is, every dragon gets excited except Breezy Speartail. You see, Breezy has small wings, which means she is unable to fly. Breezy gets teased and bullied for something she cannot control, until one day when she accidentally meets Spark. Through creativity and coaching, Spark helps her realize that she has talents, value and worth like any other dragon. Breezy learns to see herself in a whole new way with confidence and pride. "Hooray for Breezy ," combines beautifully vibrant color illustrations with color-able black and white line-art that allows the reader to make the book a unique creation fostering self-expression. You are hereby invited into Breezy's world A note from the author: When I speak with my children, I make a conscious effort to speak with them as I would an adult using vocabulary that will encourage them to ask questions. "What does that word mean? Why did you say that word?" I love it when I hear them use a "new word." Vocabulary building is an important component of literacy. This book contains words meant to challenge the reader and expand his or her knowledge of the parts of speech (noun, adjective, adverb and verb). Each brain building word is in purple. The book has a glossary at the end that gives the definition of each word as it is used in the story. I hope you find this story to be entertaining, endearing and educational

Beyond Sex and Gender

Beyond Sex and Gender

Wendy Cealey Harrison; John Hood-Williams

SAGE Publications Inc
2002
nidottu
`This book has proved invaluable for my sex-gender paper in social anthropology and I recommend it for anybody studying gender theory. I picked it up quite randomly off a shelf, it was not on any of my reading lists, maybe you also have come across this book by chance, but it really should be recommended reading. Studying at university, trying to labour through books written by theorists such Strathern, Riley and Foucault for example, cause me to long for the relatively straight forward textbooks of A-level. This book is somewhere in between. It is extensive but spends most of its time going through theories on the relationship between sex and gender. The issues it discusses are generally quite complicated. For the subjects I have studied in some capacity before reading this book I find it the perfect level of complexity, condensing, ordering and expanding my knowledge' - Amazon.co.uk (Gender Studies Student) `Beyond Sex and Gender goes beyond most texts not simply in the range of authors discussed, but also in the way in which it makes a radical departure from the terminology of "sex" and "gender". This is a complex and challenging work, which goes beyond issues of gender to considerations of deeper mysteries of language, embodiment and social understanding. Wendy Cealey Harrison's treatment of an astonishingly varied range of authors is critical, in the best sense, and generous. The book is dedicated to its co-author, John Hood-Williams who was killed in a road accident in 1999; it is a worthy memorial' - David H J Morgan, Emeritus Professor of Sociology, University of Manchester The central argument of this book is that the sex/gender distinction is invalid and must be transcended. To this end, the work of Foucault, Connell, Goffman, Garfinkel, Butler, Freud, Derrida, Saussure, Lacquer and Kessler and McKenna is woven into a rich and compelling set of arguments. The sex/gender distinction is attacked for producing a series of irresolvable traps. However much one tries to think one's way out of the dichotomy, one ends up being suckered back into its imponderables and blind alleys. The book attempts to comprehensively reorientate the field and redefine the terrain.

George Eliot, Poetess

George Eliot, Poetess

Wendy S. Williams

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
The position of George Eliot’s poetry within Victorian poetry and within her own canon is crucial for an accurate picture of the writer, as Wendy S. Williams shows in her in-depth examination of Eliot’s poetry and her role as poetess. Williams argues that even more clearly than her fiction, Eliot’s poetry reveals the development of her belief in sympathy as a replacement for orthodox religious views. With knowledge of the Bible and a firm understanding of society’s expectations for female authorship, Eliot consciously participated in a tradition of women poets who relied on feminine piety and poetry to help refine society through compassion and fellow-feeling. Williams examines Eliot’s poetry in relationship to her gender and sexual politics and her shifting religious beliefs, showing that Eliot’s views on gender and religion informed her adoption of the poetess persona. By taking into account Eliot’s poetess treatment of community and motherhood, Williams suggests, readers come to view her not only as a writer of fiction, an intellectual, and a social commentator, but also as a woman who longed to nurture, participate in, and foster human relationships.

Listen to the Poet

Listen to the Poet

Wendy R. Williams

University of Massachusetts Press
2018
nidottu
Youth spoken word poetry groups are on the rise in the United States, offering safe spaces for young people to write and perform. These diverse groups encourage members to share their lived experiences, decry injustices, and imagine a better future. At a time when students may find writing in school alienating and formulaic, composing in these poetry groups can be refreshingly relevant and exciting.Listen to the Poet investigates two Arizona spoken word poetry groups - a community group and a high school club - that are both part of the same youth organization. Exploring the writing lives and poetry of several members, Wendy R. Williams takes readers inside a writing workshop and poetry slam and reveals that schools have much to learn about writing, performance, community, and authorship from groups like these and from youth writers themselves.

The Mathematics of Sex

The Mathematics of Sex

Stephen J. Ceci; Wendy M. Williams

Oxford University Press Inc
2009
sidottu
Even though women consistently receive better grades in math and science, men excel on math aptitude tests and are greatly overrepresented in the so-called hard sciences. The Mathematics of Sex explores why males are overrepresented in mathematically intensive professions such as physics, computer science, chemistry, mathematics, and engineering. Bringing together for the first time important research from such diverse fields as endocrinology, economics, sociology, education, genetics, and psychology, the authors show that two factors--the parenting choices women (but not men) have to make, and the tendency of bright women to choose people-oriented fields like medicine--largely account for the under-representation of women in the hard sciences. Further, research shows that biology itself--differences in hormones or brain organization--does not fully account for the problem. Compressing an enormous amount of information--over 400 studies--into a readable, engaging account suitable for parents, educators, and policymakers, this book advances the debate about women in science unlike any other book before it.

Practical Intelligence in Everyday Life

Practical Intelligence in Everyday Life

Robert J. Sternberg; George B. Forsythe; Jennifer Hedlund; Joseph A. Horvath; Richard K. Wagner; Wendy M. Williams; Scott A. Snook; Elena Grigorenko

Cambridge University Press
2000
sidottu
This book reviews psychological research on practical intelligence and describes its importance in everyday life. The authors reveal the importance of tacit knowledge - what we have learned from our own experience, through action. Although it has been seen as an indispensable element of expertise, intelligence researchers have found it difficult to quantify. The data shows that practical intelligence is psychologically and statistically distinct from academic intelligence, and is distinct as well from personality and styles of thought. The data also indicates that practical intelligence predicts job performance and even aspects of school performance as well as or better than does academic intelligence. This volume thoroughly examines studies of practical intelligence in the United States and in many other parts of the world as well, and for varied occupations, such as management, military leadership, teaching, research, and sales.
