records interviews with a group of octogenerian women, covering all
social classes and a great variety of experience. She allows the
women to speak for themselves, bringing to light the submerged

to wide general readership, as well as students of British social
history and women's studies.
As seen in previous pandemics, girls and young women are
particularly vulnerable as social issues such as homelessness,
mental healthcare, access to education, and child labor are often
exacerbated. The Girl in the Pandemic considers what academics,
community activists, and those working in local, national, and
global NGOs are learning about the lives of girls and young women
during pandemics. Drawing from a range of responses during the
pandemic including first person narratives, community
ethnographies, and participatory action research, this collection
offers a picture of how the COVID-19 pandemic played out in eight
different countries.

How are girls represented in written and graphic texts, and how do
these representations inform our understanding of girlhood? In this
volume, contributors examine the girl in the text in order to
explore a range of perspectives on girlhood across borders and in
relation to their positionality. In literary and transactional
texts, girls are presented as heroes who empower themselves and
others with lasting effect, as figures of liberating pedagogical
practice and educational activism, and as catalysts for discussions
of the relationship between desire and ethics. In these varied
chapters, a new notion of transnationalism emerges, one rooted not
only in the process through which borders between nation-states
become more porous, but through which cultural and ethnic
imperatives become permeable.
In spite of millions of dollars spent on professional development
for teachers, the dream of providing every child with the great
teacher they deserve always seems just out of reach. With each new
education product and innovation promising to transform teaching
and learning, the myth of a silver bullet to cure education's ills
is perpetuated. But the silver bullet is already in the classroom:
the teacher. Every teacher has the ability to transform their
practice if he or she is willing to look inside themselves to make
the changes necessary. By using methods described inNavigating the
Labyrinth: Teacher Empowerment Through Instructional Leadership,
educators can establish a metacognitive process for how they
recognize what beliefs they have about how students learn, how they
approach research so that it drives instructional decisions, and
how they design and deliver instruction that ensures student
learning at the highest level. This process is the foundation of
effective pedagogy. Daily practice of these methods can establish a
standard of professionalism that inoculates teachers against the
everchanging "shiny things" in the profession and enable them to
become strong instructional leaders.

Wardlaw's Contemporary Nutrition is a complete and balanced
resource for nutrition information written at a level non-science
majors can understand. Current research is at the core of every new

clinical trials, and updated recommendations. The text provides
students who lack a strong science background with the ideal
balance of reliable nutrition information and practical,
consumer-oriented knowledge.
Looking for ways to be strong yet tender, independent yet intimate,
women today strive toward ever greater understanding of themselves,
their relationships with family and friends, and their place in the
world. Written by clergy and lay women from all around the country,
this compilation of prayers and poems is the collective wisdom of
contemporary women who base their search for such understanding on
the belief that all of life must be seen against the backdrop of a
vital faith. Offered in a spirit of sharing and encouragement,
these prayers and poems are as rich, intricate, and complex as the
women's lives they represent. Women's Uncommon Prayers covers the
full spectrum of emotions from desperate pleas for compassion in
times of despair to quiet gratitude for the simple blessings of
everyday living, to raucous praise during moments of celebration.
These prayers touch on an amazing array of topics organized under
the categories of identity, daily life, stages of life,
spirituality, and ministry. Also included are comprehensive
sections of seasonal and corporate prayers.
Imperial Designs is the first text in English to deal
comprehensively with the subject of the Italian colonial experience
in China in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Recent
scholarship on both the Liberal and Fascist Italian colonial
enterprises centers on the Mediterranean and Northern Africa:
expeditions, wars, ultimate occupation of territories, and their
effect on Italy. This study looks at three Italian enclaves on the
other side of the globe: Beijing, Tianjin, and Shanghai. These
present both a window into the Italian experience in the Far East
and confirmation of imperial policy. Their very presence confirms
the rhetoric of conquest. Journalist Luigi Barzini, Sr.; diplomats
Salvago Raggi, Vare, and Ciano; various military personnel; and
other foreign nationals tell the story through letters and diaries.
They all interact with the local metropolitan and rural poor and
cultivate a generalized colonial white man's detachment from their
surroundings. A brief summary of the presence of chinoiserie in the
Italian imaginary shows how the Celestial Empire has continued to
function in the construction of Italian identity as part of the
dichotomy between self and other.

This book takes an innovative approach to the study of the
penitentials and nunnery rules and the ways in which these texts
impinged upon the lives of female audiences. The study emphasises
the importance of the texts for the promotion of Christian values
and of the expectations of churchmen in the construction of
appropriate Christian behaviour for women in the early medieval
West. These texts constitute the only written works which would
have had direct influence upon the lives of lay and religious
women. The work focuses upon the elements of the penitentials which
provided female-specific expectations, and these fall largely into
two categories of sexuality and pre-Christian practices. The
nunnery rules seldom provided comprehensive sets of behavioural
expectations. Rather, rules emphasised expectations relating to
issues of enclosure, work and abstinence which came to be perceived
as the defining characteristics of religious women.

influence. Current research is at the core of this text, with
revised statistics, incorporation of new results of clinical
trials, and updated recommendations. The text provides students who
lack a strong science background the ideal balance of reliable
nutrition information and practical consumer-oriented knowledge.

This book explores how Paul Tillich's systematic theology, focusing
on the concepts of being and reason can benefit nonhuman animals,
while also analysing how taking proper account of nonhuman animals
can prove immensely beneficial. The author first explains the body
of Tillich's system, examining reason and revelation, life and the
spirit, and history and the kingdom of God. The second section
undertakes a critical analysis of Tillichian concepts and their
adequacy in relation to nonhuman animals, addressing topics such as
Tillich's concept of 'technical reason' and the multidimensional
unity of life. The author concludes by discussing the positive
concepts in Tillich's systematic theology with respect to nonhuman
animals and creation, including the concept of universal salvation
and Tillich's interpretation of nonhuman animals and the Fall in
Genesis.
