Every day, young adults are bombarded with marketing designed to
influence the way they eat. As a result, many young people overlook
the connections between their nutrition and their own best
interests. This series gives young people the tools they need to
make decisions about lifestyle and diet that will help them be all
they can be. The focus is on practical and specific information
such as how to choose wisely when eating out, deciphering food
labels, and evaluating diet plans.
The contemporary 'boom' in the publication and consumption of
auto/biographical representation has made life narratives a popular
and compelling subject for twenty-first century classrooms. The
proliferation of forms, media, terminologies, and disciplinary
approaches in a range of educational contexts invites discussion of
how and why we teach these materials. Drawing on their experiences
in disciplines including creative writing, language studies,
education, literary studies, linguistics, and psychology,
contributors to this volume explore some of the central issues that
inspire, enable, and complicate the teaching of life writing
subjects and texts, examining the ideologies, issues, methods, and
practices that underpin contemporary pedagogies of auto/biography.
The collection acknowledges the potential perils that life writing
texts and subjects represent for instructors, with a series of
short essays by leading auto/biography scholars who reflect on
their failed experiences teaching life narratives, and share
strategies for negotiating the particular challenges these texts
can present. Exploring issues including teaching across genres,
analyzing writing about trauma, decolonizing pedagogies, and
challenging assumptions (our own, our students', and our
colleagues'), Teaching Lives illuminates what makes the teaching of
life narratives different from teaching other kinds of subjects or
texts, and why auto/biography has such a critical role to play in
contemporary education. This book was originally published as a
special issue of a/b: Auto/Biography Studies.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is famous for her stylish collars (called jabots) and her commanding dissents. This opera-loving New Yorker has always spoken her mind; as a young lawyer, RBG advocated for gender equality and women's rights when few others did. She gained attention for the cases she won when arguing in front of the Supreme Court, before taking her place on the bench in 1993. Author Patricia Brennan Demuth answers all the question about what makes RBG so notorious and irreplaceable

The rise of critical discourses in the discipline of geography has
opened up new avenues for social justice. Geography and Social
Justice in the Classroom brings together contemporary research in
geography and fresh thinking about geography's place in the social
studies curriculum. The book's main purposes are to introduce
teachers and teacher educators to new research in geography, and to
provide theoretical and practical examples of geography in the
curriculum. The book begins with the premise that power and
inequality often have spatial landscapes. With the tools and
concepts of geography, students can develop a critical geographic
literacy to explore the spatial expressions of power in their
lives, communities, and the wider world. The first half of the book
introduces new research in the field of geography on diverse topics
including the social construction of maps as instruments of power
and authority. The second half of the book turns the readers'
attention to geography in the P-12 classroom, and it highlights how
geography can enable teachers and students to explore issues of
power and social justice in the classroom. Through critical
geographic literacy, educators can boldly position themselves and
their students as advocates for a more just world.

Brothers in Arms is the remarkable true story of an orphaned bear
cub who grew into a World War ll hero alongside his brothers in
arms from award-winning author Susan Hood and star illustrator
Jamie Green. Perfect for fans of Finding Winnie. Wojtek was just an
orphaned bear cub (yes, an actual wild bear!) when a group of
teenaged Polish soldiers, many of whom were orphans themselves,
took him into their ranks during World War ll. Wojtek quickly
became a beloved and important member of the Polish II Corps.
Together with his brothers in arms, Wojtek helped his friends turn
the tide of World War II. This incredible true story teaches young
readers about the history of World War II while also underscoring
the life-changing power of teamwork and the enduring bonds of
friendship and love in the face of adversity. The picture book
includes extensively researched back matter based on interviews
with the soldiers and their descendants, photographs, additional
resources, further reading, and more!
The books in this series will focus on the major types of
government found in the world today. They will explain, in terms
that are clear and understandable to young adults, not only how the
major forms of government function but also their philosophical
underpinnings. The books will illustrate how ideas about good
governance have evolved over the course of history.
Encouraging young children to create and carry out their own social
research projects can have significant social and educational
benefits. In addition, their research may help them to influence
local and national policies and practices on issues that matter to
them. To support this, Developing Children as Researchers acts as a
practical guide to give teachers - and other adults who work with
children - a set of structured, easy-to-follow session plans that
will help children to become researchers in their own right.
Comprising of ten session plans that have already been tried and
tested in schools, this guide will assist you in supporting child
researchers while helping you to develop the techniques for
teaching research skills effectively. The session plans also ensure
that children's views are heard and reflected by encouraging their
active curiosity and investigation of issues that they may be
concerned about. Forming a step-by-step guide, the ten sessions
cover themes such as: starting the research process and identifying
a research topic; the three key principles of research: be
sceptical, systematic and ethical; choosing research participants
and drawing up a research plan; the range of data collection and
analysis methods; reporting the results of, and reflecting upon, a
research project. Children's research has often depended upon the
support of academic researchers to provide resources and training.
By making the research training and facilitation process more
widely accessible, this guide will help remove the psychological
and practical hurdles that teachers and others who regularly work
with children might feel about helping children's research
themselves.

We've heard of Alexander the Great. We've heard of Ivan the
Terrible. But what was so Great about Alexander? What was so
Terrible about Ivan? Spanning centuries of history in a culturally
diverse framework-from ancient India to nineteenth-century Hawaii,
and with a balanced focus on notorious women rulers as well as
male, The Great and the Terrible takes a humorous look at some of
the most glorious and notorious figures in history through the lens
of the nicknames they're remembered by. While some of the
characters mentioned here are more prominent in world history
(Cyrus the Great introduced the world's first human rights
charter), others are well known only within their own cultures. The
Great and the Terrible gives middle-grade readers an opportunity to
dip into the breadth of world history, sampling its cultural
diversity and its stranger-than-fiction historical exploits, with a
mix of the sensational and the serious. It helps to correct the
imbalance in many history books that currently only focus on
Western Civilization, shining the spotlight on achievements (and
foibles) in many different cultures. The Great and the Terrible
sketches portraits of each of 25 figures and their worlds, focusing
on the sensational and the superlative in each of their fascinating
stories. The list of rulers included are: * Alexander the Great *
Hatshepsut * Cyrus the Great * Ashoka the Great * Empress Suiko *
Pacal the Great * Good King Wenceslas * Sejong the Great * Askia
the Great * Lorenzo the Magnificent * Sulyman the Magnificent * Nur
Jahan * Good Queen Bess (Elizabeth I) * Nanyehi * Kamehameha the
Great * Attila the Hun * Bad King John * Vlad the Impaler * Bloody
Mary Tudor * Ivan the Terrible * Catherine De Medici * Mad Ibrahim
I * Sultan Ismail the Bloodthirsty * Queen Ranavalona the Cruel *
Mad King Ludwig
