14-19 Education: Policy, Leadership and Learning $50.98 ‘AT LAST, A BOOK ABOUT THIS MOST VEXED PART OF THE CURRICULUM WHICH IS OBJECTIVE, HONEST AND RESEARCH-BASED. These two well-established authors have done what even supposedly neutral writers of official reports have been unable to do and this is because they emerge as having only one ‘axe to grind’, namely what is best for the students and the country.Showing only too clearly the confusions and competitions which have bedevilled provision for this age group, THE AUTHORS’ VIEWS ARE CONVINCING AND CREDIBLE PARTLY BECAUSE-UNUSUALLY- THEY COME FROM NEITHER A ‘PRO-SCHOOL’ OR A ‘PRO-COLLEGE’ LOBBY.( Read, for example, the chapter on leadership to see how leaders in the two sectors-but providing for the same young people ! – can be seen being encouraged to move in different directions.) They rightly argue that this not the point. Although, like others, they argue that partnerships are the way ahead, they show that these so far have a poor record. Their arguments, all firmly based on clear analysis of the politics and resourcing of 14-19 education, and constantly referenced by the experiences of young people of fourteen to nineteen years, are set in a totally realistic perspective and, as they conclude, the price of future failure in this provision will be calamitous.LEADERS IN BOTH THE SCHOOLS AND THE POST-16 SECTORS SHOULD READ THIS BOOK AND REFLECT ON THE WHOLE PICTURE IT OFFERS OF WHAT MIGHT BE POSSIBLE FOR OUR YOUNG PEOPLE. Policy makers should do the same but whether they have the will and courage to act accordingly is a matter for future debate’ – David Middlewood ‘The reform of the 14-19 stage of education and training in England is likely to be on the policy agenda for thenext two decades, but until now our understanding of 14-19 education, like the stage itself, has been incoherent and fragmented. Lumby and Foskett provide a comprehensive, authoritative and readable account of the recent history and current state of 14-19 education. They challenge some of

A Pedagogy of Possibility $50.08 In a book that itself exemplifies the dialogic scholarship it proposes, Kay Halasek reconceives composition studies from a Bakhtinian perspective, focusing on both the discipline’s theoretical assumptions and its pedagogies.Framing her discussions at every level of the discipline — theoretical, historical, pedagogical — Halasek provides an overview of portions of the Bakhtinian canon relevant to composition studies, explores the implications of Mikhail Bakhtin’s work in the teaching of writing and for current debates about the role of theory in composition studies, and provides a model of scholarship that strives to maintain dialogic balance between practice and theory, between composition studies and Bakhtinian thought.Halasek’s study ranges broadly across the field of composition, painting in wide strokes a new picture of the discipline, focusing on the finer details of the rhetorical situation, and teasing out the implications of Bakhtinian thought for classroom practice by examining the nature of critical reading and writing, the efficacy and ethics of academic discourse, student resistance, and critical and conflict pedagogy. The book ends by setting out a pedagogy of possibility, what Halasek terms elsewhere a post-critical pedagogy that redefines and redirects current discussions of home versus academic literacies and discourses.

A Plague of Frogs: The Horrifying True Story $3.68 In the tradition of The Hot Zone comes an explosive investigation into a global catastrophe in the making. Moving from America’s swamps and wetlands to laboratories and government back rooms, Souder dramatically reveals the warning implicit in an outbreak of mutated frogs, explaining the importance of the amphibians to our fragile ecosystems and suggesting what their possible extinction means to the habitability of the planet for all species, including the human race. From the Publisher In the summer of 1995, a group of Minnesota children came upon a pond populated by frogs with nine legs, missing legs, a row of limbs fanning out from their backsides, and eyes in the wrong places. Since then, deformed frogs have been turning up in lakes and ponds across the country and as far away as Japan. This phenomenon, and its implications of worldwide environmental contamination, has been the subject of intense newspaper and television coverage. Written by the only journalist granted access to secret hot spots where these deformed frogs are tested, and brainstorming sessions among the researchers, this compelling, fast-paced narrative is the first to offer a complete picture of what is quite possibly a global catastrophe in the making. Moving from America’s swamps and wetlands to laboratories and the back rooms of government, William Souder dramatically reveals the warning implicit in this outbreak, explaining the importance of frogs to our fragile eco-systems and suggesting what their possible extinction means to the habitability of the planet for all species, including the human race. Publishers Weekly The world’s frogs are disappearing, and frog deformities are proliferating–a potential warning sign of a looming, environmentally triggered human health disaster. That’s the message of this shocking and important report from journalist Souder, who broke this story in the Washington Post after a group of Minnesota schoolchildren found a

All God’s Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw $21 All God’s Dangers won the National Book Award in 1975. There are only a few American autobiographies of surpassing greatness. . . . Now there is another one, Nate Shaw’s. — New York Times On a cold January morning in 1969, a young white graduate student from Massachusetts, stumbling along the dim trail of a long-defunct radical organization of the 1930s, the Alabama Sharecropper Union, heard that there was a survivor and went looking for him. In a rural settlement 20 miles or so from Tuskegee in east-central Alabama he found him–the man he calls Nate Shaw–a black man, 84 years old, in full possession of every moment of his life and every facet of its meaning. . . . Theodore Rosengarten, the student, had found a black Homer, bursting with his black Odyssey and able to tell it with awesome intellectual power, with passion, with the almost frightening power of memory in a man who could neither read nor write but who sensed that the substance of his own life, and a million other black lives like his, were the very fiber of the nation’s history. –H. Jack Geiger, New York Times Book Review Extraordinarily rich and compelling . . . possesses the same luminous power we associate with Faulkner. –Robert Coles, Washington Post Book World Eloquent and revelatory. . . . This is an anthem to human endurance. –Studs Terkel, New Republic The authentic voice of a warm, brave, and decent individual. . . . A pleasure to read. . . . Shaw’s observations on the life and people around him, clothed in wonderfully expressive language, are fresh and clear. –H.W. Bragdon, Christian Science Monitor Astonishing . . . Nate Shaw was a formidable bearer of memories. . . .Miraculously, this man’s wrenching tale sings of life’s pleasures: honest work, the rhythm of the seasons, the love of relatives and friends, the stubborn persistence of hope when it should have vanished . . . All God’s Dangers is most valuable for its picture of pure courage. –Paul G

American Paintings Before 1945 in the Wadsworth Atheneum $157.97 Founded in Hartford, Connecticut, more than 150 years ago, the Wadsworth Atheneum is the oldest continuously operating public art museum in the United States, and it contains one of the most important collections of American art anywhere.

Later gifts included the post-Civil War picture gallery left by Elizabeth Hart Jarvis Colt, widow of the inventor-manufacturer Samuel Colt. This beautiful catalogue enables even those who cannot visit the museum to enjoy the fine collection of the American wing.

Azerbaijan $105 This is the first history in English of Azerbaijan from the first evidence of inhabitation in pre-historic times to the oil-dominated political economy of today. Azerbaijan finds itself increasingly the focus of international attention, with the discovery of the Caspian region as one of the world”s centers of production of oil and the increased strategic and cultural significance of the Caucasus in the post-Soviet period. Moreover, it is the only Shi”ite-dominated country in the world apart from Iran–and in contrast to its southern neighbor, an example of religious and social tolerance where the clergy have no place in politics. Drawing on a wide range of authorities, Charles van der Leeuw defines the concept of Azerbaijan national identity through the process of history, building up a clear picture of the modern nation, its people, and their aspirations.

Border Boss: Manuel B. Bravo and Zapata County $14.28 On January 1, 1937, Manuel B. Bravo was sworn in as county judge of Zapata County, a post he would hold for twenty years. In Border Boss: Manuel B. Bravo and Zapata County, J. Gilberto Quezada delineates Bravo’s political career in the Democratic Party and examines his role in some of the important issues of his day, especially Falcon Dam.During Bravo’s years in office, he worked and corresponded with many Texas and national politicians, including James Allred, Lloyd Bentsen, Kika de la Garza, Ralph Yarborough, and, most prominently, Lyndon Johnson. The association between Bravo and Johnson began with the special Senate election of 1941 and is reflected in the more than fifty letters between the two in Bravo’s personal papers. In Johnson’s 1948 Senate runoff against Coke Stevenson, voting irregularities were alleged in Zapata County when the election returns from Precinct No. 3 were reported missing. Quezada analyzes the Bravo papers for any evidence that Bravo and Johnson had arranged the disappearance and offers possible alternative explanations.From the 1930s to the 1950s Zapata County was one of six South Texas counties where the Tejano majority dominated local politics and held most public offices. Bravo became known as one of the Mexican bosses of South Texas, but Quezada draws a more nuanced picture of bossism than has been presented previously, analyzing the role of influential leading families but looking as well at the degree of economic integration into the state and nation as factors in how bossism developed.Those interested in Mexican-American studies and politics and bossism in South Texas will appreciate the window onto South Texas politics and Tejano culturethis biography gives.

Bosnia After Dayton: Nationalist Partition and International Intervention $116.08 Since 1996, Bosnia & Herzegovina has been the site of a remarkable project of political engineering. A complex consortium of international agencies backed by Western governments have been transforming a devastated, ethnically partitioned, post-war territory into a multiethnic, democratic andeconomically viable state. Despite an enormous investment of personnel and resources, six years later BiHs post-Yugoslav future remains tenuous. Did the engineering project work? In an era when countries from Somalia to Afghanistan are confronting questions of state legitimacy amidst international intervention, Bosnia after Dayton is a fascinating study in the dilemmas of the post-Cold War international order. How effective are international peace-building interventions infractured states? Is the preservation of a multinational state desirable–or even possible–where the majority of citizens only reluctantly acknowledge its legitimacy? Drawing on the authors extensive field experience, this book takes a hard look at the issues that Bosnia continues to face. Juxtaposing big-picture analysis with an intimate knowledge of the region, Bose situates the international community’s extensive program of state-building and democratizationin BiH since the Dayton Peace Agreement in the context of Bosnia’s and the former Yugoslavia’s complex historical legacy of coexistence and conflict. Bose tells the gripping story of the divided city of Mostar, and analyzes the institutional structure and process of Dayton Bosnia. He dissects themaking of the Dayton peace accords through American-led coercive diplomacy, and provides a constructive critique of international peace-building. Afascinating study of democratization in a divided society, this book promises to be a landmark in the literatures on former Yugoslavia, and international intervention.

By the Sword and the Cross $120.6 A concise overview of Spanish America during the colonial era (1492-1825), this study attempts a synthesis of Iberian and Latin American historical narratives within the context of world history. Spanish civilization was transferred to the Americas as Spain imposed its medieval Catholic culture upon the Americas successfully replacing the elite cultures of the Aztecs, Mayans, and Incas. Iberian culture became indigenous by way of cross-culturalization, and Creole elites found independence inevitable once their way of life became defined by American circumstances. Truxillo places emphasis on the big picture through examination of broad developments such as the rise and fall of Pre-Columbian civilizations, Baroque culture in Latin America, and the role of the Enlightenment in Spanish American independence. He details the career of Tlacaelel, the conquest of Mexico, European rivalry in the New World, and the crisis of government in the post-independence period both in Spain and the New World. The study also discusses developments in the fields of cultural studies and World Systems in the context of the acculturation of indigenous peoples to Iberian norms and the evolution of the Seville-based system of trade. Further, it examines the process by which the Bourbon reforms alienated Spanish American elites and prepared the way for independence.

Confessions of a Cineplex Heckler: Celluloid Tirades and Escapades $98.62 Setting out to torment innocent moviegoers, America’s cynic laureate ( The Cleveland Free Times ) is in top form–and loving it–in this fun-filled, hilarious new collection of tirades and escapades in the absurd world of celluloid. From the Publisher In this wickedly funny book, Joe Queenan is back in the movie theater, heckling the stars, directors, producers — and audiences — that define today’s film industry. With his keen eye for hokum and bunk, fraud and pomposity (Jonathan Yardley), Queenan takes on such lofty subjects as The Remains of the Dazed (an informed discussion of the Merchant Ivory duo’s oeuvre) and Hair Force (a treatise on movie stars with hideous, hilarious, or otherwise highly disruptive hairstyles ). Setting out to torment innocent moviegoers, America’s cynic laureate (The Cleveland Free Times) is in top form — and loving it — in this fun-filled, hilarious new collection of tirades and escapades in the absurd world of celluloid. Library Journal The title character in Walker Percy’s novel The Moviegoer says, The fact is, I am quite happy in a movie, even a bad movie. In a more distorted sense this is Queenan’s raison d’ tre: Let me confess that I am one of those people who has never lost his childlike belief that the next motion picture he sees could be the worst film ever made. An iconoclastic satirist of cinema, Queenan’s perceptive and witty barbs have been launched in such publications as Movieline and the Washington Post. In his 25 articles reprinted here we learn that male superstardom depends in large measure on the merciless beatings an actor suffers during his apprenticeship (think Marlon Brando in On the Waterfront, James Stewart in The Man from Laramie, and Paul Newman in Cool Hand Luke). We find that films in which Greta Scacchi remains clothed must be shunned, and that no one can sit through a marathon of the Merchant-Ivory oeuvre. Publishers Weekly A quirky, of

Dance Writings $29.95 Edwin Denby (1903-1983) was the most important and influential American dance critic of the 20th century. His reviews and essays were possessed of a voice, vision, and passion as compelling and inspiring as his subject. As dance critic, first for Modern Music and then for the New York Herald Tribune, Denby permanently changed the way we think and talk about dance. This volume presents his reviews from Modern Music and the Tribune in chronological order, providing not only a picture of how Denby’s dance theories and reviewing methods evolved, but also an informal history of the dance in New York from 1936 through 1945. The reviews glimpse the vanished dancers and dances that were most particularly of their time, especially Alicia Markova, Alexandra Danilova, Martha Graham, and George Balanchine. It was Balanchine on whom Denby focused after he left the Tribune, and all of his post-Tribune writings on Balanchine and the New York City Ballet are presented here in one section, providing a history of the early artistic development of the company and of Balanchine himself, while also showing Denby’s most eloquent and deeply felt writing. Finally there are his post-1945 reviews, essays, and lectures on such general dance subjects as the phenomenon of a truly good leap, classicism in ballet, and dance criticism itself.

Diverging Pathways: Social Structure and Career Deflections $58 Diverging Pathways follows the careers of a British birth cohort into early adulthood, presenting a detailed picture of the family backgrounds and the school and early labor force achievements of the cohort. The study portrays how the social arrangements of society’s institutions deflect people’s achievement patterns. Different kinds of schools, ability groups within schools, and industrial and firm differences lead comparable individuals to achieve at very different levels in society, and the book shows that the cumulative effects of being placed in advantaged or disadvantaged locations make their achievements highly divergent in adulthood. The study reports on major career differences between men and women and describes how the interface between post-secondary education and the labor force alters some of the outcomes of elementary and secondary schooling.

Educational Reform in Post-Soviet Russia: Legacies and Prospects $151.98 This volume consists of a collection of essays devoted to study of the most recent educational reform in Russia. In his first decree Boris Yeltsin proclaimed education a top priority of state policy. Yet the economic decline which accompanied the collapse of the Soviet Union dealt a crippling blow to reformist aspirations, and to the existing school system itself. The public lost faith in school reform and by the mid-1990s a reaction had set in. Nevertheless, large-scale changes have been effected in finance, structure, governance and curricula. At the same time, there has been a renewed and widespread appreciation for the positive aspects of the Soviet legacy in schooling. The essays presented here compare current educational reform to reforms of the past, analyze it in a broader cultural, political and social context, and study the shifts that have occurred at the different levels of schooling ‘from political decision-making and changes in school administration to the rewriting textbooks and teachers’ everyday problems. The authors are both Russian educators, who have played a leading role in implementation of the reform, and Western scholars, who have been studying it from its very early stages. Together, they formulate an intricate but cohesive picture, which is in keeping with the complex nature of the reform itself.
