Growing up in 1940s Brooklyn, New York, a boy's birthmark haunts him, his angst compounded by catastrophe, religious conflict and parental meddling, while he learns about life and death. The novel takes place over a span beginning in 1933 and ending in 1971. Most of the story occurs in Brighton Beach and Coney Island sections of Brooklyn, where the boardwalk and beach play significant roles. It revolves around the boy's facial disfigurement since birth, resulting in exceeding self-awareness and angst. Over the years a family tragedy adds to his tribulations, followed by even more devastating consequences during adolescence when a mysterious girl enters the scene. In addition to the psychological aspect, the book deals with immigrants, religious conflict, bullying, racism, disastrous meddling with good intentions while he learns about life and death.

In calling this book Beyond the Culture Tours, the authors bring the reader's attention to a set of issues in the teaching of literature and culture. The Culture Tour is an old concept in the West, dating back to the seventeenth century. The educated young man -- it was an exclusively male project at first -- was expected to round off his education with the Grand Tour. This meant a visit to the major sites on the European continent, particularly Greece and Rome, and occasionally to the Holy Land. The object was to have a first-hand view of these monuments, and looking at them alone brought people the name of being cultured or well-traveled. As the idea spread in the early part of the twentieth century, it allowed for the vicarious tour rather than the actual one. Students were asked to look at collections of art or reproductions of art work, listen to concerts or later recordings, and to read certain classical works drawn from what has come to be known as "the canon." The point of this form of education was that exposure to these works in itself formed a version of the Grand Tour. The basic idea behind the tour approach is that exposure to a culture in books is like travel to an ethnic theme park. This volume looks beyond the tour approach and reports on the results of a four-year project undertaken by a research team from the National Center for Research in the Learning and Teaching of Literature. Their intent was to study the teaching and impact of multicultural literature. The team examined how students approached texts that either came from their culture or from another, and how teachers perceived the students, the literature, and their role. This volume details various aspects of their findings.

O desenvolvimento de resist ncia aos medicamentos antitif ides tornou muito dif cil e caro o tratamento da febre tif ide. Portanto, torna-se imperativo procurar modalidades n o convencionais. Recentemente, a profiss o m dica redescobriu a atividade antibacteriana distinta e sin rgica do mel. Com base nisso, o mel foi registrado como agente terap utico para infec es de feridas e queimaduras. No entanto, o seu papel em infec es sist micas, como a febre tif ide, n o foi determinado. Nossa hip tese que o mel seria mais eficaz em doen as gastrointestinais porque, ao contr rio dos antibi ticos, ele ataca apenas as bact rias patog nicas, sem perturbar o crescimento da flora normal. Al m disso, ele tamb m cont m prebi ticos e probi ticos e, portanto, tem uma vantagem terap utica adicional em rela o ao tratamento convencional. Portanto, avali mos cem amostras de m is uniflorais paquistaneses de dezenove flora ap cola comum quanto atividade antibacteriana sin rgica e parcial contra S. typhi multirresistente. A atividade antibacteriana sin rgica dessas amostras de mel foi padronizada de acordo com a equival ncia fen lica % (p/v) e citada como Unidade Antibacteriana Inhibina (IBU).
