Most people working within the higher education sector understand
the importance of making e-learning accessible to students with
disabilities, yet it is not always clear exactly how this should be
accomplished. E-Learning and Disability in Higher Education
evaluates current accessibility practice and critiques the extent
to which 'best' practices can be confidently identified and
disseminated. This second edition has been fully updated and
includes a focus on research that seeks to give 'voice' to disabled
students in a way that provides an indispensible insight into their
relationship with technologies and the institutions in which they
study. Examining the social, educational, and political background
behind making online learning accessible in higher and further
education, E-Learning and Disability in Higher Education considers
the roles and perspectives of the key stake-holders involved in
e-learning: lecturers, professors, instructional designers,
learning technologists, student support services, staff developers,
and senior managers and administrators.
The behind-the-scenes story of the making of The Godfather, fifty
years after the classic film's original release. The story of how
The Godfather was made is as dramatic, operatic, and entertaining
as the film itself. Over the years, many versions of various
aspects of the movie's fiery creation have been told-sometimes
conflicting, but always compelling. Mark Seal sifts through the
evidence, has extensive new conversations with director Francis
Ford Coppola and several heretofore silent sources, and complements
them with colorful interviews with key players including actors Al
Pacino, James Caan, Talia Shire, and others for irresistible
insights into how the movie whose success some initially doubted
roared to glory. On top of the usual complications of filmmaking,
the creators of The Godfather had to contend with the real-life
members of its subject matter: the Mob. During production of the
movie, location permits were inexplicably revoked, author Mario
Puzo got into a public brawl with an irate Frank Sinatra, producer
Al Ruddy's car was found riddled with bullets, men with
"connections" vied to be in the cast, and some were given film
roles. As Seal notes, this is the tale of "a classic movie that
revolutionized filmmaking, saved Paramount Pictures, minted a new
generation of movie stars, made its struggling author Mario Puzo
rich and famous, and sparked a war between two of the mightiest
powers in America: the sharks of Hollywood and the highest echelons
of the Mob." Leave the Gun, Take the Cannoli is the lively and
complete story of how a masterpiece was made, perfect for anyone
who loves the movies.
You do not have to be good. At some point, you'll have absorbed the
message that being good is to be calm, efficient and tidy.. Wise
and well-meaning people offer to help you become worthy, to be
positive and productive and to always say 'yes, I can!' But what if
this is wrong? And what if some of the things we've been told are
bad, are just as useful as the good? Blending science, expert
interviews and practical advice, here is the flipside of everything
we've been told we should be - and how the bad parts are really not
so bad after all. You'll discover: - Why it's helpful to feel angry
- How it's counterproductive to always be productive - How laziness
can improve your relationships - Why your body is, and has always
been, absolutely fine - How clutter inspires creativity and
enhances your sense of place - Why mindlessness is good for your
mental health Be Bad, Better is not an invitation to start
misbehaving but it is about taking what you think are your worst
bits and asking what they could do to serve you. Examining how
society polices our behaviour and artificially constructs the good
and bad, here is a thoughtful and eminently helpful guide to
reassessing your ideas of success, embracing every part of yourself
and being bad, better.

Starting in 1999 with the publication of The Definitive Annotated
Alice, the Norton and Liveright annotated books have become the
leading series of classic, illustrated works in the English
language. The long-anticipated publication of The Annotated Arabian
Nights extends this tradition with a strikingly modern
translation-the first of Shahrazad's tales into English by a
woman-as well as erudite notes that will illuminate the stories for
both dedicated readers and newcomers. Yasmine Seale's translations
from both Arabic and French capture the musicality and rhythm of
the Nights' poetry and prose, while Paulo Lemos Horta's annotations
wrestle with the extraordinarily complex origins and history of the
stories, showing that, far from being inventions of French
antiquarians or English explorers, they have clear antecedents in
Arabic folklore and tradition. This stunningly illustrated edition
selects core stories as well as treasured later additions such as
"Aladdin" and "Ali Baba" to offer an unparalleled account of a
cornerstone of world literature that can be treasured by children,
students and literature-lovers alike.

This book explores food in India and its evolution from
pre-historic times to contemporary food trends while highlighting
the intersections between culture, rituals, environment and the
economy with food, ingredients and eating practices. It looks at
the history of food and food preferences in India by studying
historical, medicinal and religious texts. The book analyses
preferences and taboos from a social, anthropological, cultural,
political and economic perspective, mapping how food practices
influence and are influenced by religion, production and
distribution, ecology and social class. It also examines
consumption practices, problems with food production, agricultural
distress, food and farming reforms, globalization of food, the
adoption of sustainable practices and the future of farming, diets
and eating. Engaging and comprehensive, this book will be an
essential read for scholars and researchers of anthropology, social
and cultural anthropology, sociology, cultural studies, political
studies, development studies and food studies.
