LET THE MUSIC PLAY! Harnessing the Power of Music for History and
Social Studies Classrooms provides readers an accessible
introduction to employing music in history and social studies
classrooms. Teachers who wish to develop lessons using music as a
resource will find coverage of the significant relationship between
music and social studies, pedagogical models designed to facilitate
using music within history and social studies lessons, and coverage
of salient historical themes in which music has been integral. The
book begins by establishing the connection between music and social
studies themes. Here readers will explore the ways musicians have
attempted to address social, political or historical events and
issues through song. Through relevant research and exclusive
interviews done for this book, the thoughts of prominent musicians
noted for songs promoting social consciousness and self awareness -
including Ian MacKaye, Henry Rollins and Aaron Bedard-are shared.
The views of teachers and students in terms of the connections
between music and the social studies as well as their inclinations
to using music in social studies classrooms are also prominently
addressed. Additionally, the book furnishes readers with a
practical guide to using music in the social studies classroom.
Through explanation of four models for using music in the
classroom, readers gain relevant ideas useful for a wide variety of
instructional methodologies. And finally, the authors delve into
three of the most enduring themes in American history and social
studies curricula: race, labour and class. Through an examination
of these topics, within the framework of music, readers are given
the opportunity to discern the way music has manifested in each of
these topics. Readers will also enjoy lesson plans and annotated
playlists associated with each of these topics. CONTENTS Preface:

Master storyteller Padraic Colum's rich, musical voice captures all
the magic and majesty of the Norse sagas in his retellings of the
adventures of the gods and goddesses who lived in the Northern
paradise of Asgard before the dawn of history. Here are the
matchless tales of All-Father Odin, who crosses the Rainbow Bridge
to walk among men in Midgard and sacrifices his right eye to drink
from the Well of Wisdom; of Thor, whose mighty hammer defends
Asgard; of Loki, whose mischievous cunning leads him to treachery
against the gods; of giants, dragons, dwarfs and Valkyries; and of
the terrible last battle that destroyed their world. These ancient
stories from Northern Europe, which make up one of the great myth
cycles of Western civilization, spring to life in The Children of
Odin. The late Padraic Colum was a poet, playwright, founder of the
Irish Review and a leader of the Irish Renaissance, but he is
perhaps best known today for his outstanding books for children. He
was awarded the Regina Medal in 1961 for his "distinguished
contribution to children's literature," honoring works like The
Children's Homer, The Golden Fleece (a Newbery Honor Book), The
Arabian Nights, The King of Ireland's Son and Roofs of Gold.
Educational Leadership: Building Bridges Among Ideas, Schools, and
Nations breaks new ground by connecting many ideas to educational
leadership that have traditionally been discussed as part of
leaders' contexts by connecting them and showing how international
issues can unite scholars and educators in action. The book draws
on the authors' extensive experiences in U.S. public schools,
research in the field of educational leadership, and programmatic
practices to prepare school leaders to commit themselves to social
justice. The book provides a forum for this important work in the
ongoing conversation about equity and excellence in education, and
the role(s) leadership can assume in building bridges among ideas,
people, and educational organizations. Chapters center on creating
spaces for vigorous dialogue. Authors call upon scholars and
practitioners to reconsider their intent to empower those who live
on the margins. The dynamic approaches discussed throughout the
book urge school leaders, teachers, school community members, and
those who prepare administrators to look within and build bridges
between themselves and those they serve.
This is a bold, bright and educational bilingual board book that
introduces children to the concept of jobs and occupations in two
languages.

Ever since man first took to the air, combat aircraft have been at
the cutting edge of aviation technology, resulting in some of the
greatest and most complex designs ever built. Military Aircraft
features 52 of the most important military aircraft of the last
hundred years. The book includes all the main types, from biplane
fighters and carrier aircraft to tactical bombers, transport
aircraft, multirole fighters, strategic strike aircraft and stealth
bombers. Featured aircraft include: the Fokker Dr.1 triplane, the
legendary fighter flown by German flying ace Manfred von
Richthofen, 'the Red Baron', during World War I; the Mitsubishi A6M
Zero, Japan's highly-manoeuvrable fighter that dominated air-to-air
combat in the early part of the Pacific War; the tank-busting Il-2
Shturmovik, the most produced aircraft in World War II; the Harrier
jump jet, a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter that has
been service for more than 40 years; the B-2 Spirit bomber, an
American precision strike aircraft used in recent conflicts in
Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan; and the F-22 Raptor, an air
superiority fighter with state-of-the-art stealth technology that
makes it almost invisible to radars. Each entry includes a brief
description of the model's development and history, a profile view,
key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks
and photographs, Military Aircraft is a colourful guide for the
military aviation enthusiast.
