This alternative textbook for courses on teaching mathematics asks
teachers and prospective teachers to reflect on their relationships
with mathematics and how these relationships influence their
teaching and the experiences of their students. Applicable to all
levels of schooling, the book covers basic topics such as planning
and assessment, classroom management, and organization of classroom
experiences; it also introduces some novel approaches to teaching
mathematics, such as psychoanalytic perspectives and post-modern
conceptions of curriculum. Traditional methods-of-teaching issues
are recast in a new discourse, provoking new ideas for making
mathematics education meaningful to teachers as well as their
students. Co-authored by a professor and coordinator of mathematics
education programs, with several practicing elementary, middle and
high school mathematics, a unique aspect of this book is that it is
a collaboration of teachers across all pre-college grade levels,
making it ideal for discussion groups that include teachers at any
level. Embracing Mathematics: integrates pedagogy and content
exploration in ways that are unique in mathematics education
features textboxes with reflection questions and suggested
explorations that can be easily utilized as homework for a course
or as discussion opportunities for teacher reading groups offers
examples of teachers' action research projects that grew out of
their interactions with the main chapters in the book is not
narrowly limited to mathematics education but incorporates
curriculum studies - an invaluable asset that allows instructors to
find more ways to engage students in self-reflexive acts of
teaching Embracing Mathematics bookis intended as a method text for
undergraduate and master's-level mathematics education courses and
more specialized graduate courses on mathematics education, and as
a resource for teacher discussion groups.

The prodigious but humble scion of a New York theatrical family,
Chester Morris acted on Broadway as a teenager and earned an
Academy Award nomination for his first role in a Hollywood
"talkie," Alibi (1929). He became leading man to filmdom's top
female stars and starred in the popular series of "Boston Blackie"
mysteries before creating substantial characters in the theater and
the burgeoning medium of television. This first book about Morris
provides a detailed, account of his life and career on stage, film,
radio, and television, and as a celebrated magician. It also
constructs a fascinating record of his previously undocumented
labor activism during the early years of the Screen Actors Guild
and his tireless efforts to aid U.S. troops on the home front
during World War II.
As two of the most popular entertainers of the mid-century film
industry, comic greats Bud Abbott and Lou Costello offered an
essential balm to the American public following the sorrows of the
Great Depression and during the trauma of World War II. This is the
first book to focus in detail on the immensely popular wartime
films of Abbott and Costello, discussing the production, content,
and reception of 18 films within the context of wartime events on
the home front and abroad. The films covered include the service
comedies Buck Privates, In the Navy, and Keep 'Em Flying; more
mainstream comic relief films such as Pardon My Sarong and Who Done
It?; and post-war experiments such as Little Giant and The Time of
Their Lives. More than 120 stills and lobby cards from the author's
personal collection illustrate the text, including many showing
outtakes or deleted scenes.
