Special Ed takes the reader on an autobiographical journey through
the life of someone succeeding in spite of his dyslexia. Receiving
little assistance in identifying and dealing with his learning
difficulties, Ed perseveres to create a life he wants rather than
allowing others to dictate his future based on limited assessments
of his abilities. The book tells the story of an individual who
although intelligent and creative consistently performs well below
average academically. After high school graduation he realizes he
is unable to accept the limited life choices available to him as a
result of his failing grades. Ultimately, he creates his own path,
and achieves the full life he envisions for himself. The book
focuses not only on dyslexia but the wide range of difficulties
students encounter, both academically and emotionally, throughout
their education. It illustrates that no matter what challenges a
person faces, they must follow their inner voice toward their own
personal happiness and success. It provides encouragement for all
students and insight for those who sustain them.

There has been much focus on the imperial gaze at colonized peoples, cultures, and lands during and after the British empire. But what have writers from these cultures made of England, the English, and the issues of race, gender, class, ethnicity and desire when they traveled, expatriated, or emigrated to England? The authors address this question through studies of representations of the English, the domestic novel and the Bildungsroman, and through essays on Mansfield, Rhys, Stead, Lessing, Naipaul, Emecheta, Rushdie, and Dabydeen.
Alabama has the largest industrial work force in the South. As a
consequence, it also has the most significant labor movement in the
region, a movement created in the face of an unusual combination of
obstacles, yet, as this book shows, by the 1970s organized labor
had established itself as a major economic and political force in
Alabama.
This monograph reports the findings of four separate but related
studies of the comparative learning performance of retarded and
normal children. Using intellectually retarded and normal subjects
of similar mental age, the investigators examined their performance
in situations involving direct learning, retention, and transfer of
learning.
Much attention has focused on the imperial gaze at colonised
peoples, cultures, and lands. But, during and after the British
Empire, what have writers from those cultures made of England, the
English, and issues of race, gender, class, ethnicity, and desire
when they have travelled, expatriated, or emigrated to England?
This question is addressed through studies of the domestic novel
and the Bildungsroman , and through essays on Mansfield, Rhys,
Stead, Emecheta, Lessing, Naipaul, Emecheta, Rushdie and Dabydeen.
New York has appeared in more movies than Michael Caine, and the
resulting overfamiliarity to moviegoers poses a problem for critics
and filmmakers alike. Audiences often mistake the New York image of
skyscrapers and bright lights for the real thing, when in fact the
City is a network of clearly defined villages, each with a unique
personality. Standard film depictions of New Yorkers as a rush-hour
mass of undifferentiated humanity obscure the connections formed
between people and places in the City's diverse neighborhoods.
Street Smart examines the cultural influences of New York's
neighborhoods on the work of four quintessentially New York
filmmakers: Sidney Lumet, Woody Allen, Martin Scorsese, and Spike
Lee. The City's heterogeneous economic and ethnic districts, where
people live, work, shop, worship, and go to school, often bear
little relation to the image of New York City created by the
movies. To these directors, their home city is as tangible as the
smell of fried onions in the stairwell of an apartment building,
and it is this New York, not the bustling, glittery illusion
portrayed in earlier films, that shapes their sensibilities and
receives expression in their films. Richard A. Blake shows how the
Jewish enclaves on Manhattan's Lower East Side profoundly influence
Sidney Lumet's most noted characters as they struggle to form and
maintain their identities under challenging circumstances. Both
Woody Allen's light comedies and his more serious cinematic fare
reflect the director's origins in the Flatbush neighborhood in
Brooklyn and the displacement he felt after relocating to
Manhattan. Martin Scorsese's upbringing on Elizabeth Street in
Manhattan's Little Italy resonates in his gritty portraits of urban
modernity. Blake also looks at the films of Spike Lee, whose
adolescence in Fort Greene, a socioeconomically diverse Brooklyn
neighborhood, exposed him to widely ranging views that add depth to
his complicated treatises on power, culture, and race. Lumet,
Allen, Scorsese, and Lee's individual identities were shaped by
their neighborhoods, and in turn, their life experiences have
shaped their artistic vision. In Street Smart, Richard A. Blake
examines the critical influence of "place" on the films of four of
America's most accomplished contemporary filmmakers.
Established on the campus of Cornell University in the fall of
1905, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity began as an organization to meet
the needs of a handful of male African American college students.
Founded with ideals of civic action and community uplift, Alpha Phi
Alpha was established almost 40 years after the end of the Civil
War and just a few years after the end of The Nadir-the period when
institutional racism was worse than at any other post-bellum
period. Exemplified by its founders, known as The Jewels, the first
black intercollegiate fraternity represented virtues such as
brotherhood, scholarship, and social progress. Important leaders
such as Charles Hamilton Houston, Thurgood Marshall, Hubert
Humphrey, Paul Robeson, Cornel West, W. E. B. Dubois, Martin Luther
King Jr., Edward Brook, and Duke Ellington constitute just a small
number of those who have been initiated into the ranks of Alpha.
Despite the fraternity's historical prominence, a question lingers:
have the organization and its members remained faithful to the
precepts articulated by the founding members? In Alpha Phi Alpha: A
Case Study Within Black Greekdom, Gregory S. Parks aims to answer
this question through a collection of original essays, written by
members of the fraternity and scholars in African American studies,
education, political science, and history. Alpha Phi Alpha examines
the very essence of the organization, the meaning and identity of
the fraternity, and also ascertains whether and to what degree the
organization has drifted from its early ideals. Drawing from
Alpha's history, national magazines, and archives, as well as
relying on interviews with national officers and lay members, Parks
and his contributors will grapple with the growing body of
empirical, critical, and historical scholarship on Black
Greek-letter Organizations (BGLOs). Gregory S. Parks is coeditor of
African American Fraternities and Sororities: The Legacy and the
Vision (UPK). He has edited two additional books on Black
Greek-letter organizations, as well as a book on diversity within
college fraternities and sororities. A life member of Alpha Phi
Alpha Fraternity, Inc., he received his PhD in psychology from the
University of Kentucky and his JD at Cornell Law School.

Cursed by their gods, isolated on an island in the north Atlantic,
two Viking armies fight every day to the death of the last man.
Raised from the dead, night after night, they resume the slaughter
with every dawn. The gods have a wager on the outcome. Freyja
caught in an indiscretion with a few dwarves is trying to prove
something, unclear though her premise is, about the infinite,
undying purity of true love. However, fighting the same battles
against the same enemies for 1200 years has left the warriors more
than a little demotivated. They have begun, for the most part, to
phone in their daily quota of gut-spilling mayhem. Freyja, bored
and frustrated with the lack of effort, calls on Loki to help shake
things up. He does. He lures a dysfunctional group of students from
Blackwood University, an obscure university on the northeastern
U.S. seaboard, to the island on which the endless war has been
ongoing. The students along with the captain and crew of the
Ferret, a for-hire oceanographic survey ship, join a 16th century
Spanish conquistador, an ex-waitress from Valhalla and a trio of
Wisconsin fishermen, They've been brought to the island by Loki to
"spice things up"-and they do. Stylish, violent, humorous, cynical
and sometimes poignant Undead Vikings in Love explores teenage
angst, gay love, straight love, witchcraft, the cult of the hero
and humankind's hopeless struggle to figure out what the heck the
gods are up to. A great story and a great adventure with a great
cast of characters and a unique perspective, Undead Vikings in Love
is a very funny novel about love--undead and otherwise.
One of the fundamental hermeneutical tenets of New Covenant
Theology is that we should learn how to approach the Old Testament
from Jesus and the Apostles. This basic principle needs to be
worked out and demonstrated by examining text after text. This
little book is offered to that end. It examines the promises given
to Abraham in light of the book of Galatians. I hope and pray it is
illuminating and points the reader to the marvelous work Jesus
Christ has accomplished.
