Sharp Evidence By Julie Miller History is repeating itself…
Discovering a bloody knife from two unsolved murders reunites
theatre professor Reese Atkinson with criminalist Jackson Dobbs.
And the murder victims? Jackson’s own parents! But the shy,
orphaned boy from her childhood is now an army veteran and fierce
protector…of the evidence and of Reese. But who is weaving a
deadly web that not only threatens their reunion…but their lives?
A Detective’s Deadly Secrets By Anna J. Stewarts A lethal
attraction… Detective Lana Tate’s convinced there’s only one
man who can help untangle her husband’s mysterious death: Agent
Eamon Quinn—an old friend who will stop at nothing to find the
truth. Lara was the once-favourite colleague he’d secretly pined
for. But as their long-buried attraction bursts into flame, so does
the danger…
This book theorizes the role of optimism in anthropological
thinking, research, writing, and practice. It sets out to explore
optimism's origins and implications, its conceptual and practical
value, and its capacity to contribute to contemporary
anthropological aims. In an era of extensive ecological disruption
and social distress, this volume contemplates how an optimistic
anthropology can energize the discipline while also contributing to
bettering the lives, communities, and environments of those we
study. It brings together scholars diverse in background, career
stage, and theoretical approach in a collective attempt to
comprehend the myriad intersections of anthropology and optimism.
The challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic have recently underscored
the larger, longer-term catastrophes of climate change, ecosystemic
collapse, social injustice, and antipathy towards scientific
knowledge and those who produce it. In this context, exceedingly
few anthropologists feel comfortable observing and documenting
passively while their research communities face unrelenting waves
of (un)natural disasters. We need to act. But we also need to hope.
Discontent with the state of the world and cultural anthropology's
turn to increasingly positive, future-oriented, and engaged work
have converged to unleash a courageously optimistic anthropology.
This book is a timely springboard for this impactful and emergent
approach.
Resolute Investigation By Leslie Marshman His childhood crush is in
danger believes that she’s innocent—and not just because he’s
had a crush on her since they were teenagers. As they work together
to find the real killer, Adam realises that he might have another
chance with Rachel…if she trusts him to protect her, and if he
can trust her with his heart. Deadly Vegas Escapade By Anna J.
Stewart They’re gambling with their lives… On the run from a
murder charge, Riordan Malloy is saved from drowning by Darcy Ford.
The mysterious man has no memory of his identity or his secret
past. He only knows that he’s endangering Darcy. When all clues
lead the unlikely pair to a Vegas casino, they must fight to stay
alive—and fall in love—against all odds.

The first book by Anna J. Cooper, A Voice From the South, presents
strong ideals supporting racial and gender equality as well as
economic progress. It's a forward-thinking narrative that
highlights many disparities hindering the African American
community. Anna J. Cooper was an accomplished educator who used her
influence to encourage and elevate African Americans. With A Voice
From the South, she delivers a poignant analysis of the country's
affairs as they relate to Black people, specifically Black women.
She stresses the importance of education, which she sees as a great
equalizer. Cooper considers it a necessary investment in not only
the individual but the community. She also criticizes the
depictions of African Americans in literature by some of the day's
most popular authors. She calls for more realistic portrayals that
are both honest yet positive. Cooper provides an unflinching
critique of mainstream America as it relates to the Black
population. A Voice From the South broaches pivotal topics such as
women's rights, segregation and the need for higher education. With
an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of A Voice From the South is both modern and readable.
New college instructors often are advised, coached, and mentored by
department professors who may not have scheduled class time to meet
regularly with their novice educators. This book meets many of the
principles outlined in the position statements of the Conference on
College Composition and Communications and the Council of Writing
Program Administrators. The pedagogical stances on which PWP
lessons here are based will support the work of the college
supervisors. Graduate teaching assistants and new instructors may
not know what questions to ask about lesson planning, grading, and
classroom management. Some may be teaching in culturally and
experientially diverse settings unfamiliar to them. This mentoring
handbook describes, but not prescribes, methods, materials, and
management strategies that can help maintain morale during that
critical first year as a college instructor.

This book offers a comprehensive and current look at the complex
relationship between anthropology and activism. Activism has become
a vibrant research topic within anthropology. Many scholars now
embrace their own roles as engaged social actors, which has
compelled reflexive attention to the anthropology/activism
intersection and its implications. With contributions by emerging
scholars as well as leading activist anthropologists, this volume
illuminates the diverse ways in which the anthropology/activism
relationship is being navigated. Chapters touch on key areas
including environment and extraction, food sustainability and
security, migration and human rights, health disparities and
healthcare access, class and gender identities and empowerment, and
the defense of democracy. Case studies (drawn mainly from North
America) encourage readers to think through their own experiences
and expectations and will serve as durable documentation of how
movements develop and change. This timely survey of the activist
anthropological landscape is valuable reading in an era of widely
perceived ecological and political crisis, where disinterested data
collection increasingly appears to be a luxury that neither the
discipline nor the world can afford.
Teaching genres of fiction, non-fiction, and media need not
intimidate new to middle school teachers who may be recent college
graduates or veterans transitioning from elementary or high school.
Here are strategies for designing culturally relevant lessons that
include firm and fair grading guidelines, plans to teach literary
terms specific to various genres, and suggestions for selecting
appropriate texts that appeal to and expand horizons of diverse
students in classrooms across the nation.
Teaching young adolescent students to read, write, and talk
intelligently about writing need not be the overwhelming task it
poses for new to middle school teachers. They may be recent
graduates or experienced teachers transitioning from elementary or
high school classrooms. Moreover, designing lessons for which
students write regularly for real purposes, but will not overburden
the teacher with grading often swamps early career educators and
veterans alike. These teachers will find in this book accounts of
specific ways to establish a nurturing classroom environment with
grading guidelines that are firm and fair; for designing writing
assignments that include specific steps to adapt or adopt to fit
their own student population, with samples of formative and
summative assessments to measure student growth in writing; for
selecting mentor texts that are culturally relevant serving both as
inspiration and patterns for students from various cultural,
ethnic, and economic regions across the nation.

Teaching Middle School Language Arts is the first book on teaching
middle school language arts for multiple intelligences and related
21st century literacies in technologically and ethnically diverse
communities. More than 670,000 middle school teachers (grades six
through eight) are responsible for educating nearly 13 million
students in public and private schools. Thousands more teachers
join these ranks annually, especially in the South and West, where
ethnic populations are ballooning. Teachers and administrators seek
practical, time-efficient ways of teaching language arts to 21st
century adolescents in increasingly multicultural, technologically
diverse, socially networked communities. They seek sound
understanding, practical advice, and proven strategies for
connecting diverse literature to 21st century societies while
meeting state and professional standards. Teaching Middle School
Language Arts provides strategies and resources that work.
Roseboro's book provides an entire academic year of inspiring
theory and instruction in multimedia reading, writing, and speaking
for the 21st century literacies that are increasingly required in
the United States and Canada. An appendix includes supplementary
documents to adapt or adopt, and a companion web site is designed
to continue communication with readers.
