Описание: A young woman's fear of the living thing in the walls of her apartment. An office-based streaker with an axe to grind. A malingerer attending a prayer meeting. Automatons that finally recognise their creator. The historically inaccurate account of a disgraced 13th century crusader. A terminally ill man resorting to hypnotism to quit smoking. A letter from a cursed man -who refused to buy a round of drinks at a wedding. The madness of an isolated couple infecting a lonesome estate agent. A human resources manager describes office conflict taken a step or three too far. An aged altar boy recalling his days on the pulpit. The couple who conceive an alarm clock and must deal with its constant alarmist nature. A brain-dying man recalls his last receding memories of a run-down funfair... In Wattle & daub the world is a mysterious, menacing and peculiar place. Characters inhabit their individualized zones with a mixture of ignorance and apprehension, ever at the mercy of changes to their circumstances, or else striving to make sense of their own shortcomings and disappointments. Dragged forward by an ear-twisting narrative force, the stories in this debut collection meld and stretch into truly new directions. Unsettlingly funny/bleak backgrounds inform, wattle & daub and introduce singular oddball characters to a coldly unconcerned world. Every page is mined with humour, sympathy, and blistering language that mark Brian Coughlan as a unique fabricator of short tales.

Описание: The second edition of «Schools of Tomorrow,» Schools of Today: Progressive Education in the 21st Century documents a new collection of child-centered progressive schools founded in the first half of the twentieth century and provides histories of some contemporary examples of progressive practices. Part I discusses six progressive schools founded in the first part of the twentieth century (City and Country; Dalton; the Weekday School at Riverside Church; The Laboratory School at the Institute of Child Study; Alabama State Teachers College Laboratory High School; and Highlander), tracing them from their beginnings. Part II examines four more contemporary schools (Central Park East 1; Central Park East Secondary; Learning Community Charter School; and KIPP TEAM Academy), showing how progressive practices gained momentum from the 1960s onward. As a volume in the History of Schools and Schooling series, this book seeks to look to the past for what it can teach us today.
