This book originated from a Discussion Group (Teaching Linear
Algebra) that was held at the 13th International Conference on
Mathematics Education (ICME-13). The aim was to consider and
highlight current efforts regarding research and instruction on
teaching and learning linear algebra from around the world, and to
spark new collaborations. As the outcome of the two-day discussion
at ICME-13, this book focuses on the pedagogy of linear algebra
with a particular emphasis on tasks that are productive for
learning. The main themes addressed include: theoretical
perspectives on the teaching and learning of linear algebra;
empirical analyses related to learning particular content in linear
algebra; the use of technology and dynamic geometry software; and
pedagogical discussions of challenging linear algebra tasks.
Drawing on the expertise of mathematics education researchers and
research mathematicians with experience in teaching linear algebra,
this book gathers work from nine countries: Austria, Germany,
Israel, Ireland, Mexico, Slovenia, Turkey, the USA and Zimbabwe.

An unparalleled introduction to American folk art, accompanying a
major traveling exhibition. A handsome and insightful survey of
American folk art, this book includes paintings, sculptures,
furniture, and household objects made by untrained--or minimally
trained--folk artists in New England, the Midwest, and the South
between 1800 and the 1920s. This richly illustrated volume includes
rare and very fine portraits, radiant still lifes and landscapes, a
mature version of The Peaceable Kingdom by Edward Hicks, playful
animal sculptures and trade signs, and ornately painted German
American furniture. With newly researched texts by leading
scholars, this publication makes an important contribution to the
field.
Victimhood, vengefulness and forgiveness are topics which are
strongly felt in everyday life of many people but not investigated
enough as subjects for psychoanalytic methods. In the case of
victimhood, people may feel that suffering may be abused to the
point of exempt of concern for others and self-justification of
causing suffering to others. This form of abuse may arise guilt
and/or anger and in some cases may result in no-win situations in
which mutual aggression prevents any possibility of reconciliation.
In the case of vengefulness, wishes for revenge might evoke fear,
anger and moral indignation which eventually might push some people
towards acting out vengefulness in a destructive way. Forgiveness
might be suspected as an impossible illusion which undermine
constructive vision and learning from experience. By writing this
book the authors try to make these concepts acknowledged,
understood dynamically and accepted emphatically. Victimhood,
vengefulness and forgiveness represent a course of transformation
from destructive emotions and attitudes to a prospect of
reconciliation.
This new monograph is the most comprehensive book on the work of
Paul Resika (b. 1928) to date, highlighting his landscapes,
portraits, and still lifes from the 1940s to the present. Resika s
most important teacher was Hans Hofmann, with whom he studied on
Cape Cod and in New York City in the mid-forties. Resika's subjects
are drawn from nature and reflect his surroundings, which change
with the seasons: in winter, he lives in New York; in summer, Cape
Cod; in spring he spends time painting in the south of France and
in Italy. Provincetown piers, fishing boats in the harbor, figures
on the beach, and French farmhouses in the countryside emanate a
dreamlike serenity and make up the rich visual vocabulary for which
Resika is best known. Produced in a large format with more than 220
color illustrations, this book reflects over eight decades of
Resika's output, with scholarly essays that reveal his ongoing
dialogue with Hofmann's sophisticated ideas about color and
pictorial structure.

INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards -- 2014 Finalist A monumental new
monograph accompanying the first major retrospective in fifty years
of the work of William Glackens, an important American realist
painter. This richly illustrated volume provides a comprehensive
introduction to William Glackens (1870-1938), one of the liveliest
and most influential American painters of the early twentieth
century. A founder of the Ashcan School, along with painters such
as Robert Henri and John Sloan, Glackens was crucial to the
introduction of modern art in the United States through his
collaboration with Albert C. Barnes and his championing of landmark
exhibitions of American and European avant-garde art. The finest
examples of his works over a fifty-year career, including paintings
previously unknown to the general public, are reproduced here-from
intimate nudes, portraits, and figure studies to vivid still lifes,
vibrant street scenes, and landscapes, in which he captured people
and their surroundings with matchless spontaneity and spirit. The
book features essays by important scholars examining the artist's
relationship with French painting, his social observation and
interest in costume, his depiction of women, and his role as a
tastemaker.
