Blue Jeans - Carolyn (independent Scholar Purnell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Blue Jeans - Carolyn (independent Scholar Purnell - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about the hidden lives of ordinary things.Few clothing items are as ubiquitous or casual as blue jeans. Yet, their simplicity is deceptive. Blue jeans are nothing if not an exercise in opposites. Americans have accepted jeans as a symbol of their culture, but today jeans are a global consumer product category. Levi Strauss made blue jeans in the 1870s to withstand the hard work of mining, but denim has since become the epitome of leisure. In the 1950s, celebrities like Marlon Brando transformed the utilitarian clothing of industrial labor into a glamorous statement of youthful rebellion, and now, you can find jeans on chic fashion runways. For some, indigo blue might be the color of freedom, but for workers who have produced the dye, it has often been a color of oppression and tyranny. Blue Jeans considers the versatility of this iconic garment and investigates what makes denim a universal signifier, ready to fit any context, meaning, and body.Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic .

Proud to be Different - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Proud to be Different - - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

This is a book about ethnocentric niche charter schools. What are they? When did they first appear? From where did the term come? How do they differ from regular charter schools and from district-run traditional public schools? Each subject chapter was created by a team consisting of at least one educational researcher and at least one charter school practitioner. The goal is to make the book readable for everyone (policymakers, parents, teachers, older students) while providing a framework of rigor from which to view each charter school. Hence: the teams. We took special pains to create a book which exhibits the objectivity of the educational researcher while, at the same time, inviting the reader into each school by painting a human picture of its ethos. Each chapter contains a description of the school told by people who actually taught or learned or sent their children there.

Preparing Children With Disabilities for Life - Robert Evert Cimera - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Preparing Children With Disabilities for Life - Robert Evert Cimera - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Educating students with disabilities is a team process. By federal law, parents must be involved in the development of their child''s educational plan. Unfortunately, few parents (or regular educators) understand special education_its terms, philosophies, and processes. This book explains, in layperson terms, what special education is and how to make the special education process more successful for everyone involved. Chapters cover history and legalities of preparing children with disabilities for life, transition of families, preparation for employment, residential living, community adjustment, recreation, interpersonal relationships, life-long learning, and developing educational plans. Hundreds of additional resources for parents of children with disabilities including lists of professional organizations, useful websites, support groups, and other books for further learning on special education are also provided. While intended for parents and family members of children with disabilities, it will also be of interest to educators who are unfamiliar with special education as well as special educators who are new to the field.

Screamfeeder's Kitten Licks - Dr. Ian Rogers - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Screamfeeder's Kitten Licks - Dr. Ian Rogers - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Released in 1996, Kitten Licks catapulted Brisbane indie-rock three-piece Screamfeeder into the ''90s alternative-rock boom alongside Powderfinger, silverchair, You Am I and Regurgitator. International tours, regular festival shows, and TV appearances followed. And yet, commercial success for Screamfeeder was comparatively short-lived. By the end of the decade, the band’s outlook was bleak: at a career standstill and unable to record new music. Today, both Screamfeeder and Kitten Licks endure as fiercely loved cult icons. In its vitality and idiosyncrasy, Kitten Licks captures a moment of cresting change for a band, a city and a national scene, while continuing to delight and inspire those who discover it anew.This book tells the story of Kitten Licks in the words of those who lived it, and who still do. How it was made, how it was swept up into ''90s mythology and what the journey tells us about the fickle nature of music production in Australia, namely: how to survive it.
