Who isn’t in awe of Vanessa Redgrave? Her career on stage and screen remains vital and her extreme-left political stands are still quite controversial. This is the moment, and this is the biography, to take stock of Vanessa Redgrave both as actress and as political activist with a critical, objective study of her life and career. It is also time to account for her unparalleled achievements as an empathetic actress of considerable genius. Connected By Design: Seven Principles of & Schools Tackling an all-too-prevalent problem among kids with 8 smart, practical strategies. Groundbreaking books have peered into the psychology of bullying and the cultural climate that—seemingly now more than ever—gives rise to such cruelty and aggression. But few have been able to synthesize what we know into 8 simple, targeted “keys” that equip educators, professionals, and parents with practical strategies to tackle the issue head-on. This book answers that call. Climate change seems to be an insurmountable problem. Political solutions have so far had little impact. Some scientists are now advocating the so-called ‘Plan B’, a more direct way of reducing the rate of future warming by reflecting more sunlight back to space, creating a thermostat in the sky. In this book, Mike Hulme argues against this kind of hubristic techno-fix. Drawing upon a distinguished career studying the science, politics and ethics of climate change, he shows why using science to fix the global climate is undesirable, ungovernable and unattainable.

However, the real potential of robots remains unexploited if used merely for the execution of highly repetitive mass-fabrication processes: their capability for serial production of non-standard elements as well as for varied construction processes is mostly wasted.

Pierce, Stephen Trachtenberg Dan Spalding This book explores the topic of governance both as it is being practiced in the current educational and economic environment and how it might more effectively function. It identifies key challenges facing trustees, presidents, senior administrators and faculty and specify their responsibilities. The book is grounded in the notion that both the external and internal pressures facing colleges and universities today demand that boards do more than just come for lunch and bask in the prestige that being a trustee brings to them, but rather that they must add genuine value to the institution and must be the president’s strategic partner. How to Teach Adults provides a guide for new instructors studying on their own and helps teacher-trainers in college and graduate school programs cover what their students need to know to effectively manage a classroom. Examples of practical topics covered include making sure new faculty include everything they need to put in their class syllabus, or helping them write a quiz.

A young woman is stabbed to death on her front stoop-a murder the New York Times called "a frozen moment of dramatic, disturbing social change." The victim, Catherine "Kitty" Genovese, became an urban martyr, butchered by a sociopathic killer in plain sight of thirty-eight neighbors who "didn't want to get involved." Her sensational case provoked an anxious outcry and launched a sociological theory known as the "Bystander Effect." History The Scorpion's Sting: Antislavery and the Surrounded by a ring of fire, the scorpion stings itself to death. The image, widespread among antislavery leaders before the Civil War, captures their long-standing strategy for peaceful abolition: they would surround the slave states with a cordon of freedom. They planned to use federal power wherever they could to establish freedom: the western territories, the District of Columbia, the high seas. In Teaching with Heart: Poetry that Speaks to the Courage to Teach a diverse group of ninety teachers describe the complex of emotions and experiences of the teaching life – joy, outrage, heartbreak, hope, commitment and dedication. Each heartfelt commentary is paired with a cherished poem selected by the teacher. Kitty Genovese: The Murder, the Bystanders, Ameica An irreverent trip through American culture by a critic who "cracks jokes as easily as one would crack walnut shells" (Washington Post). Americans have long been fascinated with the oddness of the British, but the English, says literary critic Terry Eagleton, find their transatlantic neighbors just as strange. Only an alien race would admiringly refer to a colleague as "aggressive," use superlatives to describe everything from one's pet dog to one's rock collection, or speak frequently of being "empowered." In this pithy, warmhearted, and very funny book, Eagleton melds a good old-fashioned roast with genuine admiration for his neighbors "across the pond." Each and every day teachers show up in their classrooms with a relentless sense of optimism. Despite the complicated challenges of schools, they come to and remain in the profession inspired by a conviction that through education they can move individuals and society to a more promising future. 9781581572100 Countryman Press AU$24.95 288 pages • Paperback Lifestyle Virtually every cuisine in every culture around the globe has something approximating a noodle.

With a greatly enhanced ability to find these gems, The Official Sea Glass Searcher's Guide willl open up a new world. The first volume in the classic Spider-Man artist's horror comic series is now in paperback. Before Spider-Man and Dr. Strange, the legendary comic book artist Steve Ditko was conjuring all manners of horrors at his drawing table. In his first two years in the industry (1953 and 1954), Ditko drew tales of macabre suspense that were not yet hobbled by the imminent Comics Code Authority (adopted in October 1954). These stories featured graphic bloodshed, dismemberment and bloodcurdling acid baths as the ugly end to the lives of the dark and twisted inhabitants of Steve Ditko's imagination. 9781606997345 Fantagraphics AU$18.95 72 pages • Paperback Literature In this graphic novella, butchers mysteriously suffer memory loss with disastrous results.

Summer vacation is here and Tammy Pierce is back with more sometimes ordinary, often humiliating, occasionally poignant and usually hilarious exploits! Her hopes, dreams, agonies and defeats are brought to vivid, comedic life by Watson's lovingly grotesque drawings, filled with all the '80s essentials - too much mascara, leg warmers with heels and huge hair, etc. Unlovable addresses the mysteries of high school through Tammy's naivete; girls and women in particular will find much that resonates, but men will also relate to Unlovable's universal humor and loser cast of characters. 9781606997376 Fantagraphics AU$37.95 416 pages • Hardback Literature Algebra II Workbook For Dummies, 2nd Edition Essentials of WPPSI-IV Assessment Mary Jane Sterling Susan Engi Raiford To succeed in Algebra II, start practicing now Algebra II builds on your Algebra I skills to prepare you for trigonometry, calculus, and a of myriad STEM topics.
