Autor: Alan J. Singer

Número de Páginas: 459

This updated edition of Teaching Global History challenges prospective and beginning social studies teachers to formulate their own views about what is important to know in global history and why. This essential text explains how to organize curriculum around broad social studies concepts and themes, as well as student questions about humanity, history, and the contemporary world. All chapters feature lesson ideas, a sample lesson plan with activity sheets, primary source documents, and helpful charts, graphs, photographs, and maps. This new edition includes connections to the C3 framework, updates throughout to account for the many shifts in global politics, and a new chapter connecting past to present through current events and historical studies in ways that engage students and propel civic activism. Offering an alternative to pre-packaged textbook outlines and materials, this text is a powerful resource for promoting thoughtful reflection and debate on what the global history curriculum should be and how to teach it.

Of Women and Children

Autor: Lloyd Foster

Número de Páginas: 253

Sylvia Grange does something horrible that her mother, Cynthia Hamilton, will never forgive. Cynthia kicks her eighteen-year-old daughter out of the house. Sylvia is lucky to encounter a well-to-do woman named Marissa Cristo. Marissa goes out of her way to help Sylvia. One of the most helpful acts is to get Sylvia a job at Risk Dynamics, a company of which Marissa is 75 percent owner. But it later turns out that Marissa has her own ulterior motives for helping Sylvia: Marissa is trying to atone for her own tragedy with her own daughter, Dinah. A love affair develops between Sylvia and Alan Shakhor, the head of her department, but deep down, each knows it cannot get anywhere. There are too many barriers between them—coworkers in a company with strict codes of conduct about such relationships, thirty-seven-year-old versus eighteen-year-old, white versus black, Jewish versus Christian, rich versus poor. It takes years for both to come to the realization that they cannot be together. By the time they reach that point of realization, other tragic events evolve, including the downward spiral of Cynthia Hamilton’s economic situation. At one point, it seems that Sylvia and Cynthia...

Man Overboard

Autor: Dan Buckley

Número de Páginas: 324

It's not easy being a Superstud in bed every night when you're exhausted and the only thing making your blood boil are the football results. What about trying to be a DIY genius when the only jigsaw you've ever tackled before had 500 pieces? Not to mention being a sharing and caring Dad when the kids are driving you up the walls. You're supposed to be good in a crisis, like when the dog pees between the floorboards (Kick his ass out the door and spray disinfectant between the cracks.), and the mother of all househusbands - programming the DVD with one hand while making a feeble attempt to iron with the other. There's barely time to have a few pints down the pub with the lads. While women are said to Want It All, men are often expected to Do It All. Mostly they fail miserably. Dan Buckley's mixture of observations and home-brewed philosophy reveals what it means to be a modern man. Inspired by weekly poker games where a bunch of guys talk to one another, without slurring too much, the trials and tribulations of the 21st century male are laid bare. All names have been changed - not to protect the innocent, but to protect the author. Book jacket.

Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler

Autor: Michael J. Sandel

Número de Páginas: 129

Meşhur siyaset felsefecisi Sandel, piyasa ve paranın toplumda oynaması gereken rolü sorguluyor. Çocuklara kitap okumaları veya iyi notlar almaları için para vermeli miyiz? Ne kadar kirliliğe izin verileceğine karar vermek için insan hayatına fiyat biçebilir miyiz? İnsanlara riskli yeni ilâçlar için denek olmaları veya organlarını bağışlamaları için para ödemek etik midir? Peki ya bizim savaşlarımızda çarpışmaları için paralı askerler tutmak; ya da tutukluları kâr amaçlı çalışan hapishanelere aktarmak; ya da seçkin üniversitelere girişi açık artırma ile satmak; ya da para ödemeye razı göçmenlere vatandaşlık satmak? Michael J. Sandel, New York Times’ın çok-satanlar listesindeki Paranın Satın Alamayacağı Şeyler kitabıyla günümüzün en büyük etik meselelerinden birini ele alıyor: Her şeyin satılık olduğu bir dünyada yanlış bir şeyler yok mudur? Eğer varsa, piyasa değerlerinin, hayatın âit olmadıkları çeperlerine girmelerini nasıl engelleyebiliriz? Piyasanın ahlâkî sınırları nedir? Son yıllarda piyasa değerleri neredeyse hayatın hiçbir alanında piyasa-dışı normlara yer bırakmadı....

Instead, to truly reduce cognitive load, complexity, and frustrations in the workplace, we must build cyber-physical technologies so that humans remain at the center. Leaders must ensure that the technology they deploy at an industrial scale has fluid interfaces that demonstrably simplifies work and makes operations more flexible without introducing fear, uncertainty, or doubt.
