An extraordinary true account of the enormous tragedy of the Syrian
civil conflict. Since the revolution-turned-civil war in Syria
began in 2011, over 500,000 civilians have been killed and more
than 12 million Syrians have been displaced. Rania Abouzeid, one of
the foremost journalists on the topic, follows two pairs of sisters
from opposite sides of the conflict to give readers a firsthand
glimpse of the turmoil and devastation this strife has wrought.
Sunni Muslim Ruha and her younger sister Alaa withstand constant
attacks by the Syrian government in rebel-held territory. Alawite
sisters Hanin and Jawa try to carry on as normal in the police
state of regime-held Syria. The girls grow up in a world where
nightly bombings are routine and shrapnel counts as toys. They bear
witness to arrests, killings, demolished homes, and further
atrocities most adults could not even imagine. Still, war does not
dampen their sense of hope. Through the stories of Ruha and Alaa
and Hanin and Jawa, Abouzeid presents a clear-eyed and page-turning
account of the complex conditions in Syria leading to the onset of
the harrowing conflict. With Abouzeid's careful attention and
remarkable reporting, she crafts an incredibly empathetic and
nuanced narrative of the Syrian civil war, and the promise of
progress these young people still embody.

For courses in Introduction to Communication A five-principles
approach that helps students build practical communication skills
Revel (R) Communication: Principles for a Lifetime was designed to
address the biggest challenge when teaching Introduction to
Communication: how to present the variety of fundamental theories
and skills without overwhelming learners. By organizing the text
around five key principles of communication, authors Steven Beebe,
Susan Beebe, and Diana Ivy help students to see the interplay among
communication concepts, skills, and contexts. The 8th Edition
offers new Critical/Cultural Perspectives features that examine
contemporary issues in communication and refreshed chapter-ending
study guides that better reinforce the authors' five-principles
approach. Revel empowers students to actively participate in
learning. More than a digital textbook, Revel delivers an engaging
blend of author content, media, and assessment. With Revel,
students read and practice in one continuous experience, anytime,
anywhere, on any device.
Just because these classic stories are usually told from the
protagonists' point of view doesn't mean the antagonists don't have
their side of the story, too. Of course you think I was the bad
guy, terrifying poor little Jack. You don't know the other side of
the story. Well, let me tell you.

Drawing on interview data, the authors describe K-3 students'
knowledge and thinking about basic aspects of the social world that
are addressed in the elementary social studies curriculum. The
interviews focused on human activities relating to nine cultural
universals that are commonly addressed in the elementary social
studies curriculum: food, clothing, shelter, communication,
transportation, family living, childhood, money, and government.
This volume synthesizes findings from the research and discusses
their implications for curriculum and instruction in early social
studies. Children's Thinking About Cultural Universals
significantly expands the knowledge base on developments in
children's social knowledge and thinking and, in addition, provides
a wealth of information to inform social studies educators' and
curriculum developers' efforts to match instruction to students'
prior knowledge, both by building on already developed valid
knowledge and by addressing common misconceptions. It represents a
quantum leap in the availability of information on the trajectories
of children's knowledge about common topics in primary elementary
social studies education.

Learn the skills you need to work with geriatric populations in
rural areas! Gerontological Social Work in Rural Towns and
Communities provides a range of intervention and community skills
aimed precisely at the needs of rural elders. This book fills a gap
in the literature by focusing on the specific practice concerns for
social workers assisting older adults in rural areas, including the
aging experience, social worker skills, professional functions,
working with special populations, and health and long-term care
concerns. This valuable resource will benefit social workers,
gerontologists, allied health professionals in rural areas, health
and human services administrators and managers. Gerontological
Social Work in Rural Towns and Communities explores the challenges
social workers need to overcome when working with the elder
community in rural areas. This book's significance to social
workers will only increase as more adults choose to live and grow
old away from the cities. Experts in the field suggest strategies
to overcome barriers in planning and providing services such as: a
longer distance for the elderly to travel to use social service
centers a narrower range of available services in the local area
increased poverty levels for the elderly a stronger dependency by
elderly on family rather than public assistance This book is
divided into five sections: Rurality and Agingintroduces the
concept of rurality and examines the demographics of aging from a
rural perspective Practice Dimensions of Social Work with Rural
Eldersincludes clinical practice models, intervention and advocacy
techniques, program planning, and marketing approaches Special
Populationsgives attention to four special population groups:
indigenous elders, African-American older adults, elderly Latinos,
and disabled elders Special Issues Pertaining to Rural Elderscovers
five essential issues for rural gerontological social workers:
health promotion, older workers and retirement preparation, aging
in place, specialized housing, and ethical practice Training and
Policy Recommendationsfuture training and education recommendations
for social workers are explored, as well as service capacity
building, the aging network, and the future of long-term care While
a variety of theoretical perspectives are explored in
Gerontological Social Work in Rural Towns and Communities, the
book's empowerment orientation and strengths-based approach will
enhance your abilities to improve quality of life for elderly
individuals in rural communities. Each chapter contains a
comprehensive review of the literature on the subject it addresses,
and several chapters include tables and graphs to further establish
their revealing empirical findings. An appendix provides additional
sources to turn to for more information.

This collection presents theoretical, critical, applied, and
pedagogical questions and cases of publics and public spheres,
examining these contexts as sources and sites of civic engagement.
Reflecting the current state of rhetorical theory and research, the
contributions arise from the 2002 conference proceedings of the
Rhetoric Society of America (RSA). The collected essays bring
together rhetoricians of different intellectual stripes in a
multi-traditional conversation about rhetoric's place in a
democracy. In addition to the wide variety of topics presented at
the RSA conference, the volume also includes the papers from the
President's Panel, which addressed the rhetoric surrounding
September 11, 2001, and its aftermath. Other topics include the
rhetorics of cyberpolitical culture, race, citizenship,
globalization, the environment, new media, public memory, and more.
This volume makes a singular contribution toward improving the
understanding of rhetoric's role in civic engagement and public
discourse, and will serve scholars and students in rhetoric,
political studies, and cultural studies.
