Описание: 1984. Brave New World. Dodendal, Valley of Dreams takes a bold, new look into the future. Yes, greed, hate, control and revenge are all forces in this speculative novel. But also present are needs for love, purpose, atonement and redemption, adding human dimensions to the characters and complexity to their decisions and actions. It's 2076, the eve of the Tricentennial. Historian and teacher Ian Vanderkill's complacent life will forever be changed by an item he decides must never fall into the hands of the "corpos". Later in the evening he meets Siobhan Carlson and is captivated by her subtle grace and distinctive beauty. The next day they travel down the Hudson River to the magic seclusion of Dodendal, where Siobhan convinces Ian to help with her mission - a mission that borders on conspiracy against The Corporation. But he knows there is more she isn't telling him. He wants to trust her, but can he? Michael Chan is determined to redeem himself in his first big case since finally making the grade of chief inspector. He's a natural and is ambitious. But he's also disturbingly independent. And he's haunted by a recurring dream that threatens to take everything from him. Michael's progress in his case, and Siobhan's and Ian's decisions during the course of the story, lead to their paths racing on a collision course to the end. The far-reaching impact of what happens during the Tricentennial week is not fully understood till many years later during one man's journey of discovery to the Valley of Dreams. Dodendal, Valley of Dreams is set in the scenic Mid-Hudson Valley of New York and draws heavily on its long and rich history. To learn more, please visit HolmgrenBooks.com

In Victorian London, long before the term serial killer was coined, two series of murders played out that have captured the imagination of the whole world. The Jack the Ripper murders and the Thames Torso murders, so similar to each other, took place during the same period in London and have never been solved.
In this book, journalist and researcher Christer Holmgren explains why the murders were never cleared up and names the East End carman Charles Lechmere as the culprit behind both series of murders. He was a man who claimed he found Jack the Ripper's first victim, but avoided to give his true name to the police.
In the 2014 TV documentary The Missing Evidence -- Jack the Ripper, the case for Charles Lechmere as the Ripper was outlined. In it, a prominent barrister stated that the case would have been good enough to take to court. This makes Lechmere stand out amongst the many suspects named over the years: his is a case where it can be practically demonstrated how he is linked to the murders.
More recent research suggests that Charles Lechmere also needs to be held responsible for the Thames Torso murder series, spanning the years 1873-1889. Guided by the help of experts, Holmgren links the cases together, establishes the underlying inspiration behind them, and beckons the originator of the murders out into the light, a century after his death

Описание: College and university faculty in the arts (visual, studio, language, music, design, and others) regularly grade and assess undergraduate student work but often with little guidance or support. As a result, many arts faculty, especially new faculty, adjunct faculty, and graduate student instructors, feel bewildered and must “reinvent the wheel” when grappling with the challenges and responsibilities of grading and assessing student work.Meaningful Grading: A Guide for Faculty in the Arts enables faculty to create and implement effective assessment methodologies—research based and field tested—in traditional and online classrooms. In doing so, the book reveals how the daunting challenges of grading in the arts can be turned into opportunities for deeper student learning, increased student engagement, and an enlivened pedagogy.
