Описание: This book explores the cultural construction of the bad mother in books, movies, and TV shows, arguing that these portrayals typically have the effect of cementing dominant assumptions about motherhood in place-or, less often, of disrupting those assumptions, causing us to ask whether motherhood could be constructed differently.

Описание: Darcy van Aiken is doing very well, thank you. She's an ICU nurse with an 'amicable' divorce from ex-husband, Mike, two great kids, and a prescription for
Ritalin. Then her older son, Jeremy, gets engaged to Cami Zander-Brown - daughter of a wealthy New York family - and her world turns upside down.
The source of the
trouble is not Cami's elegant and accomplished mother, Rose. Nor is it in the form of Guy, her charismatic and wildly successful literary agent father.Instead, lurking in the shadows of
Mike's new life, is the beautifully dressed and highly manipulative Claudia. The Zander-Browns have money.
Lots of money. The plans for their daughter's dream wedding
grow more fabulous by the day, and Claudia is loving every minute of it. With her perfect taste, she can't help thinking she'd make a much better mother of the groom than
Darcy.
This wedding gives her the opportunity to entrench herself in Mike's life, and take credit for the two sons Darcy has raised. It's a battle for supremacy, and it takes all of
Darcy's courage and determination to outwit the determined Claudia. What emerges is a wonderfully delicious, hilarious and touching read about family, friendship and human
behavior.
Описание: This book explores three interrelated roots of scholarly work that have a supportive and elaborative affinity to authentic and engaging classroom inquiry: ecological consciousness, Buddhist epistemologies, philosophies and practices, and interpretive inquiry or «hermeneutics». Although these three roots originate outside of and extend far beyond most educational literature, understanding them can be of immense practical importance to the conduct of rich, rigorous, practicable, sustainable, and adventurous classroom work for students and teachers alike. The authors collectively bring to these reflections decades of classroom experience in grades K–12 and the experience of supervising hundreds of student teachers in such settings as well as working regularly with schools and classroom teachers in their day-to-day work. The authors demonstrate, through several classroom examples, how ecology, Buddhism, and hermeneutics provide ways to re-invigorate the often-moribund discourse of education and bring a sense of beauty and rigorous joy to classroom life for teachers and students alike.

Описание: A Winter's Tale
After racking up serious injuries, world-famous snowboarder Nate Forrest returns to the West Virginia coal town that has been his family's home for generations. The transition's a challenge, but there's nothing more beautiful than snow. Except maybe Dr. Lacey Berryville. How can Nate resist this tender-hearted vet who adores every living creature and isn't the least bit fazed by his celebrity?
Just what Lacey doesn't need is for this larger-than-life, adventurous Olympic medalist to melt her caution away during the season's last snowfall. She's spent her girlhood moving from place to place, and soon she'll be leaving again. So, what's she supposed to do about the avalanche of feelings Nate is unleashing in her? Can she leave West Virginia's tree-covered mountains behind-with Nate giving her the best reason of all to stay?
