Adventures of a Deaf-Mute and Other Short Pieces
William B. Swett; Kristen C. (INT) Harmon
Gallaudet University Press,U.S.
2017
pokkari
In Adventures of a Deaf-Mute, Deaf New Englander William B. Swett recounts his adventures in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in the late 1860s. Given to us in short, energetic episodes, Swett tells daring stories of narrow escapes from death and other perilous experiences during his time as a handyman and guide at the Profile House, a hotel named for the nearby Old Man of the Mountain rock formation. A popular destination, the hotel attracted myriad guests, and Swett's tales of rugged endurance are accompanied by keen observations of the people he meets. Confident in his identity as a Deaf "mute," he notes with wry humor the varied perceptions of deafness that he encounters. As a signing Deaf person from a prominent multigenerational Deaf family, he counters negative stereotypes with generosity and a smart wit. He takes pride in his physical abilities, which he showcases through various stunts and arduous treks in the wilderness. However, Swett's writing also reveals a deep awareness of the fragility and precariousness of life.This is a portrait of a man testing his physical and emotional limits, written from the vantage point of someone who is no longer a young man but is still very much in the prime of his life. This collection also includes "Mr. Swett and His Diorama," an article from 1859 in which Swett describes his miniature recreation of the Battle of Lexington, as well as Manual Alphabets, a pamphlet published in 1875 on the history of manual alphabets that includes short biographies of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, two pioneers of Deaf education in the United States. The work is accompanied by a new introduction that offers a reflection on Swett's life and the time in which he lived.

Sustainability is a global imperative and a scientific challenge like no other. This concise guide provides students and practitioners with a strategic framework for linking knowledge with action in the pursuit of sustainable development, and serves as an invaluable companion to more narrowly focused courses dealing with sustainability in particular sectors such as energy, food, water, and housing, or in particular regions of the world. Written by leading experts, Pursuing Sustainability shows how more inclusive and interdisciplinary approaches and systems perspectives can help you achieve your sustainability objectives. It stresses the need for understanding how capital assets are linked to sustainability goals through the complex adaptive dynamics of social-environmental systems, how committed people can use governance processes to alter those dynamics, and how successful interventions can be shaped through collaborations among researchers and practitioners on the ground. The ideal textbook for undergraduate and graduate students and an invaluable resource for anyone working in this fast-growing field, Pursuing Sustainability also features case studies, a glossary, and suggestions for further reading. * Provides a strategic framework for linking knowledge with action* Draws on the latest cutting-edge science and practices* Serves as the ideal companion text to more narrowly focused courses* Utilizes interdisciplinary approaches and systems perspectives* Illustrates concepts with a core set of case studies used throughout the book* Written by world authorities on sustainability* An online illustration package is available to professors

Innovation in Odds-Beating Schools

sidottu
Three policy innovations at the heart of this book – the Common Core State Standards (CCSS), new Annual Professional Performance Review (APPR), and data driven instruction (DDI) provide a timely opportunity to join school and district improvement and policy implementation research with improvement science. This book is not just a collection of findings about odds-beating schools (those with higher than predicted student performance trends and higher than average poverty and diversity) and their journeys to implement these innovations. It also provides timely perspectives regarding policy innovations and how they might disrupt practice in desirable or undesirable ways. This book offers readers insight into how educators at every boundary—classroom, school, and district interact to make meaning of innovations, both individually and collectively; and also how their meanings and values influence innovation implementation outcomes. The story includes details how policy innovations were tailored to school and district office priorities; the features of these schools’ structures, climates, and routines that were conducive to implementation; and how these innovations were able to penetrate the classroom boundaries.

Defining Pop Culture Yoga: A Communication Remix was born out of a series of questions about the paradoxical nature of yoga: How do individuals and groups define yoga? What does it mean to “practice yoga”, and what does this practice involve? What are some of the most important principles, guidelines, or philosophical tenets of yoga that shape people’s definitions and practices? Who has the power and authority to define yoga? What are the limits, if any, of shared definitions of yoga? Kristen C. Blinne explores the myriad ways “yoga” is communicatively constructed and defined in and through popular culture in the United States. In doing so, Blinne offers insight into the many identity work processes in play in the construction of yoga categories, illuminating how individuals’ and groups’ words and actions represent practices of claiming—part of a complex communicative process centered around membership categorization—based on a range of authenticity discourses. Employing popular culture writing styles, Blinne ultimately contends that the majority of yoga styles practiced in the United States are remixes that can be classified as pop culture yoga, a distinct way of understanding this complex phenomenon.

Kan man vara kristen? (Mere Christianity) har blivit en av de mest lästa presentationerna av kristen tro. Trots att det har gått åttio år sedan den kom till, som föredragsserie i brittiska BBC mitt under andra världskriget, upptäcker människor över hela världen fortfarande att C. S. Lewis knivskarpa argumentation och kvicktänkta resonemang håller. Lewis texter präglas i viss mån av sin tid och av andra världskrigets förutsättningar men är lika aktuella i dagens samhälle. Boken är inte bara en intellektuell resa utan även en andlig upplevelse som utmanar och inspirerar. På svenska har boken tryckts i många upplagor sedan den kom ut för första gången 1950. Med Libris bokförlags återlansering av Lewis i en ny enhetlig serie ges möjlighet för en ny generation att ta del av hans unika böcker. C. S. Lewis (1898 1963) var en av Englands mest kända kulturpersonligheter och en av de stora författarna under 1900-talet. Han var lärare i engelsk litteratur vid Oxfords universitet fram till 1954, då han utnämndes till professor i medeltidens och renässansens litteratur vid Cambridge universitet. Lewis skrev mer än trettio böcker. Mest känd är han för Narnia-serien som har sålts i mer än 100 miljoner exemplar. Hans mångsidiga författarskap rymmer också Från helvetets brevskola, Mirakler, Av glädje överfallen, Lidandets problem samt rymdtrilogin.

Live your truth. Be proud. Stand up for who you are and what you believe in. This unique graphic novel is a tribute to the lives and accompaniments of those who are proud to stand up for those who aren't afraid to live authentically. Superstar artist George Amaru provides a stunning one of three covers that link together to showcase the Pride Flag. Ellen DeGeneres' journey to get where she is now was not always a smooth one. She's felt the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. But through it all, she managed to stay true to herself and prove that she is a female force to be reckoned with. Best known for her work with Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, including their hit cover "I Love Rock N' Roll," Joan Jett's wild ride from a member of The Runaways to her solo career catapulted her into stardom. Kristen Stewart's non-conformist style and choices of unique film roles mark her as a maverick in the industry. Kristen has become a household name through the "Twilight" Saga, but box office numbers do not define her success. An actress, vocal artist, singer, author, comedian, and talk show host, Jane Lynch, is in the public eye every time you turn on the television. Her journey to success is inspiring. Rosie O'Donnell is one of the most outspoken LGBTQ allies as well as living her authentic life as an out and proud member of the lesbian community. This 96-page graphic novel will make you feel more pride. This series has been featured in the Advocate, Time and People Magazines.
The Ideological Foundations of Early Irish Law and Their Reception in Anglo-Saxon England, C. 600-C. 900

Old Testament Levites who considered the Law of Moses to be the living law: this has long been the established view among many scholars for how early Irish jurists perceived themselves, as well as how they saw the broader theoretical and religious bases of their jurisprudence. In this volume, however, Kristen Carella offers a timely reassessment of scholarly opinion, exploring Irish legal texts within the broader context of both vernacular Irish and Hiberno-Latin literature to argue that early Irish Christian intellectuals in fact saw themselves as gentile converts, subscribing to an orthodox Christian faith that was deeply infused with Pelagian theology. Certain aspects of Irish legal ideology, particularly Irish views of divine history and pseudo-historical ideas about their own ethnogenesis, moreover, extended out of Ireland and into Anglo-Saxon England; their impact can be seen on lawmakers such as Alcuin, when he helped draft the Anglo-Latin Legatine Capitulary of 786, and King Alfred of Wessex, when he composed the Old English prologue to his law code in the late-ninth century. Through this approach, this volume not only challenges long-held scholarly views on Irish legal ideology and its influences beyond Ireland, but also provides a new paradigm for intellectual relations between early medieval Ireland and England.

First published in 1986. Forty five percent of black women have at least one child by the time they are turn twenty compared to 19 percent of white women. Eight-six percent of the births to black teens occurred to unmarried mothers compared to 30 percent among whites. Research shows that teenage childbearing has negative medical, social, and economic consequences and that women who first gave birth as teenagers are more likely to raise their families in poverty. In Choice and Circumstance the authors explore tree factors underlying the racial differences in the incidence of early childbearing; information about sex, pregnancy and contraception; need for family planning and abortion services; and motivation for postponing parenthood, including aspirations for schooling, employment plans and desire for children within marriage. They consider which teens postpone sex and pregnancy and why, and whether the kinds of motivation necessary to prevent early pregnancy vary by race in the United Sates, perhaps explaining the race differences in early childbearing.
