Exploring Relationships and Connections to Others
Exploring Relationships and Connections to Others: Teaching Universal Themes through Young Adult Novels offers readers opportunities to explore the most common universal themes taught in secondary English Language Arts classrooms using contemporary young adult literature. Authors discuss adolescence and adolescent readers, young adult literature and its possibilities in the classroom, and ways to teach thematic analysis. The book provides context, traditional approaches to teaching, and examples of thematic explorations of each of the chosen themes. Chapters include developed teaching instructional units to study four universal themes: love and loss; friendship and betrayal; hate, its destructive consequences, and healing; and dreams and hope for tomorrow. Each instructional unit includes rationale, essential questions and objectives, calendar plans for up to five weeks, examples of introductory, reading and discussing, and enrichment activities and assessments. The activities target academic skills for ELA curricula and create safe spaces for exploring topics of relationships and connections to others, both of which are vital to adolescent growth and development. Each instructional chapter suggests a wide range of additional texts and resources for theme explorations.

Fostering Activism in Teacher Education
Drawing on interview and observation data of five ELA teacher educators, this book highlights the ways teacher educators make activism part of their preparation of future teachers and provides snapshots of four themes—centering students, framing courses, explicit assignments, and self-care and navigating political contexts.The book shines a light on both how teacher educators enact activism and the ways they talk about their work. The audience for this book includes ELA teacher educators, as well as teacher education more broadly, pre-service and in-service teachers, and others interested in exploring activism in education. Given our current socio-political context, specifically the onslaught of legislative efforts to prohibit equity-focused education and any discussions of the complicated and harmful history of the U.S., many educators need support in deciding how and where to incorporate activism into their teaching. Such efforts require careful negotiation of contexts and legislative and other parameters. By providing readers specific examples from educators who implement activism, including the ways they involve their students in activist endeavors, the book offers empirically-based examples of activist teaching, reminds others they are not alone in doing this work, and explores ways to frame and implement activist teaching practices.This is an excellent resource for teacher educators who want to incorporate activism into their work. It is particularly beneficial for ELA teacher educators in both pre-service teacher and graduate courses, as well as teacher education courses that focus on critical literacy, critical pedagogy, civic-engagement, equity, and diversity.

Phosphate Deposits of the World: Volume 1
This unique survey describes the world's ancient phosphorite deposits on a scale never previously attempted. The International Geological Correlation Programme started Project 156, on world phosphate resources, in 1977. An international team of forty-six researchers describes in twenty-five chapters almost 100 Precambrian or Cambrian deposits of phosphate rock, extending through all continents except Antarctica. The total resources are large, but only a small fraction is minable at present. The data presented give a good understanding of the distribution, nature and origin of phosphate deposits. The book is an important contribution to the scientific understanding of phosphate deposits, as well as a valuable aid to the search for an exploitation of phosphates in many parts of the world.

New England Diner Cookbook
Diners were born in New England (Rhode Island, to be exact), and they have a long and colorful history as local eateries of distinction because of both their menus and their buildings. Though many diners have gone by the wayside in the past half century, there are still plenty around, and each has at least a dish or two for which they’re best known and that keep customers coming back year after year. The New England Diner Cookbook celebrates every facet of these diamonds in the rough. Along with diners that have perfected the tried-and-true items like corned beef hash, clam chowder, and malted milkshakes, many have developed relatively sophisticated menus that include distinctly New England delicacies like Lobster Chow Mein, Butterscotch Indian Pudding, and Portobello Mushroom Fries.
