Описание: Landsman discusses the difficulties inherent in prosecuting crimes against humanity, from the Eichmann trial to Milosevic.
"This volume provides a succinct, analytical, well-conceived, and nicely written account of the development of colonial North American thought and culture from 1680 to the eve of the American Revolution. Not an anachronistic search for the origins of later American cultural forms, it situates the subject firmlv within a transatlantic context. The author emphasizes the extent to which improving communications and expanding connections helped to incorporate colonial settlers into a larger British world by providing them access and inviting them to become contributors to a burgeoning public culture of print, which consisted of newspapers, magazines, books, and 1etters.Whereas during the first seven decades of the seventeenth century, the colonies had been little more than crude and isolated outposts of English culture, from the late seventeenth century, he contends, they increasingly became like Scotland and Protestant Ireland, intellectual and cultural provinces of an expanding British Empire." –Jack P. Greene, Journal of American History

Описание: "WOW I wish I could dream up a story this good "-J.J. Sedelmaier, Animator (Beavis & Butthead, SNL's Ambiguously Gay Duo) "A wonderfully clever tale, well-told."-Jerry Cleaver, Author of Immediate Fiction. "The power of my fables is legendary-if I may be permitted to say so. They have reformed the criminal, healed the sick, and righted the mentally unbalanced. Why, just last year did I not bring the implacable Blackhouse Ripper to tears of repentance on the eve of his execution, so that he begged to be led to the gallows forthwith? I have fables for every occasion, and this is no exception, believe me." So boasts the Fabulist to the King of Uaxala, who has summoned him to that distant unknown land to improve the character of the Prince. But the Prince has stories of his own to tell, and the Fabulist and his Manservant are drawn into astonishing adventures, including (but not limited to): Cold-blooded revenge; an infinite labyrinth; startling philosophical speculations and disputes that actually move the plot forward; torture by unbearably exquisite caresses; death-duels aboard a pirate ship; an uncharted island inhabited solely by comely young women; gunpowder tattoos; gyascuti farsed with grebes farsed with capons farsed with wrens; imprisonment in a tower; The Excursus of Hermes Trismegistus, as well as the Chema of Chemes; polygamous marriage and jealous wives; potions of invisibility and immobility; a barber of blood. The Tale of the Teller of Tales is a novel of high adventure, low comedy, and disturbing metaphysical insights.

Описание: As schools grow more and more vulnerable to the whims of profiteers and, as a result, become less and less a sacred public space of learning and justice, the voices of everyday educators and students are increasingly marginalized. This is the tyranny of neoliberal school reform: silence the people who know education, the people committed to equity and justice, and elevate the voices and desires of the privileged few whose knowledge of education is peripheral and profit-driven. Talking Back and Moving Forward: An Education Revolution in Poetry and Prose is a collective response to this tyranny, a collecting rallying cry for reclaiming our schools. It is a chorus of voices from teachers, educators, and educational justice advocates who refuse to be silenced--who are standing up and responding to the imposition of damaging school reform initiatives. Unconfined by the conventions of the traditional scholarly voice, the contributors use poetry, memoir, short stories, and photography, choosing the expressions that most effectively capture their experiences and their demands for educational and social justice.

Описание: This book captures the struggle for identity, the fight for recognition, the disillusion with school and the desire to be seen, to be included, and to be counted. It is an unflinching look from the heart of our educational system at the segregation, bias, and oppression that is part of the daily lives of so many students and teachers.
