One of the most dramatic changes to women's lives in the twentieth
century was the advent of safe childbirth, reducing the maternal
mortality rate from 1 in 400 births to 1 in 10,000 in just 80
years. The impetus behind this change was the Confidential
Enquiries into Maternal Death (CEMD), now the world's longest
running self-audit of a healthcare service. Here, leading authors
in the CEMD tell the story of the pioneering clinicians behind the
push for improvements, who received little recognition for their
work despite its far-reaching consequences. One by one, the leading
causes of maternal death were identified and resolved, from sepsis
to safe abortions and more recently psychiatric illness and social
and ethnic disparities in healthcare. Global maternal mortality is
still too high; this valuable book shows how significant advances
in maternal healthcare are possible when clinicians, politicians
and the public work together.
This book is a creative and practical introduction to the field of
digital media for future designers, artists, and media
professionals. It addresses the evolution of the field, its
connections with traditional media, up-to-date developments, and
possibilities for future directions. Logically organized and
thoughtfully illustrated, it provides a welcoming guide to this
emerging discipline. Describing each medium in detail, chapters
trace their history, evolution, and potential applications. The
book also explains important, relevant technologies-such as
digitizing tablets, cloud storage, and 3-D printers-as well as new
and emerging media like augmented and virtual reality. With a focus
on concepts and creative possibilities, the text's software-neutral
exercises provide hands-on experiences with each of the media. The
book also examines legal, ethical, and technical issues in digital
media, explores career possibilities, and features profiles of
pioneers and digital media professionals. Digital Media Foundations
is an ideal resource for students, new professionals, and
instructors involved in fields of graphic and visual arts, design,
and the history of art and design.
The need to improve the mathematical proficiency of elementary
teachers is well recognized, and it has long been of interest to
educators and researchers in the U.S. and many other countries. But
the specific proficiencies that elementary teachers need and the
process of developing and improving them remain only partially
conceptualized and not well validated empirically. To improve this
situation, national workshops were organized at Texas A&M
University to generate focused discussions about this important
topic, with participation of mathematicians, mathematics educators
and teachers. Developing Mathematical Proficiency for Elementary
Instruction is a collection of articles that grew out of those
exciting cross-disciplinary exchanges. Developing Mathematical
Proficiency for Elementary Instruction is organized to probe the
specifics of mathematical proficiency that are important to
elementary teachers during two separate but inter-connected
professional stages: as pre-service teachers in a preparation
program, and as in-service teachers teaching mathematics in
elementary classrooms. From this rich and inspiring collection,
readers may better understand, and possibly rethink, their own
practices and research in empowering elementary teachers
mathematically and pedagogically, as educators or researchers.

This beautifully illustrated story is an adaptation of the Welsh
legend of Cantre'r Gwaelod, the lost area of Wales which
disappeared beneath the sea. This drowned land was once a pleasant
and prosperous kingdom, its low-lying fields protected from the
waves by a high sea wall. But only Mererid, the storm child, knows
that the tide-gates are failing and the next storm will breach the
wall. As clouds and ravens gather overhead, she must race to save
her friends and the kingdom before it's too late... TreeTops

We live in a global society, wherein our dependence on our
neighbors is growing more intensely each year. Technology, travel,
and interdependent economic systems require that nations know more
and share more of their natural resources. Among the most precious
of these resources is the intellectual talent that resides in their
countries. This edited volume sheds light on the unique challenges,
trends, and intersecting issues related to identifying intellectual
potential of children of color around the world, providing access
to appropriate curriculum and instructional opportunities,
addressing the professional capacities of teachers working with
these students, and the role of diverse families and communities in
the talent development process in these communities. To achieve the
volume 'EUROs' objectives, the editors bring together expert
scholars from around the world who have a vested interest in gifted
children of color.
African American Males in PreK-12 Schools: Informing Research,
Practice, and Policy presents a comprehensive viewpoint on preK-12
schooling for African American males. Including theoretical,
conceptual, and research based chapters, this edited volume offers
readers compelling evidence of the education challenges and
successes for this student population. Each chapter provides a
richer perspective of the experiences of African American males
throughout their elementary and secondary education. Additionally,
each chapter includes strong implications for education research,
practice, and policy, as well as concrete recommendations to
important stakeholders, such as educators, school counselors,
parents, etc. Collectively, the contributors communicate throughout
the edited volume that educational change is needed and that
educational success is attainable for African American males. It is
intended that the edited volume will help inform education
research, practice, and policy as they relate to African American
males. Equally important, it is envisioned that the readers will
develop a greater interest in the education of African American
males.
Black males face several active and inactive discriminations across
society. In education, they encounter stiffer disciplinary actions
such as out of school suspension and expulsion than their White
peers, are overrepresented in special education programs as well as
over diagnosed; are underrepresented in gifted in talented
programs; advanced placement and honors courses; and have the lower
college graduation rates compared to other racial groups. Although
these issues are barriers to Black male success, we know that for
every challenge, there is a solution to improving academic, career,
and life outcomes for Black males. Black Males in Secondary and
Postsecondary Education contributes to the existing literature on
this population with a focus on teaching, mentoring, advising, and
counseling Black boys and men, from preschool to
graduate/professional school and beyond into their careers. The
chapter authors address the gap on research from a strengths-based
perspective, around implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on Black
male educational attainment, the increased anti-black racism around
police racial profiling and disciplinary issues in education, and
academic and career outcomes of Black males. More importantly, the
chapter authors provide recommendations for policy, practice and
research.

Sinclair Lewis, the first American to win the Nobel Prize for
literature, and a writer lauded both for his craft and his
principles, wrote The Job as a statement of female empowerment, and
self-determination over societal expectation. Written in the early
years of the 1900s Lewis' central character, highly unusual for the
era, is a woman, Una Golden, who gains work in an exclusively male
world of commercial real estate. Golden struggles for the
recognition of her male peers while balancing romantic and work
life; she marries, divorces, continues to work hard and finally
emerges triumphant on her own terms. Flame Tree 451 presents a new
series, The Foundations of Feminist Fiction. The early 1900s saw a
quiet revolution in literature dominated by male adventure heroes.
Both men and women moved beyond the norms of the male gaze to write
from a different gender perspective, sometimes with female
protagonists, but also expressing the universal freedom to write on
any subject whatsoever. Each book features a brand new biography
and a new glossary of Literary, Gothic and Victorian terms.
Parasites have evolved numerous complex and fascinating ways of
interacting with their hosts. The subject attracts the interest of
numerous biologists from the perspective of ecology and behavioral
biology, as well as from those concerned with more applied aspects
of parasitology. However, until now there has been no recent book
to synthesize this field. This book, written by leading authorities
from the USA, Europe, Australia and New Zealand, provides the most
comprehensive coverage of this important topic on the market.
Rare photographs recall interiors of late Victorian mansions belonging to William H. Vanderbilt, J.P. Morgan, U.S. Grant, and many others. New informative text.
