In Eco-Performance, Art, and Spatial Justice in the US, Courtney B.
Ryan traces how urban artists in the US from the 1970s until today
contend with environmental domestication and spatial injustice
through performance. In theater, art, film, and digital media, the
artists featured in this book perform everyday, spatialized
micro-acts to contest the mutual containment of urbanites and
nonhuman nature. Whether it is plant artist Vaughn Bell going for a
city stroll in her personal biosphere, photographer Naima Green
photographing Black urbanites in lush New York City parks,
guerrilla gardeners launching seed bombs into abandoned city lots,
or a satirical tweeter parodying BP's response to the 2010
Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the subjects in this book challenge
deeply engrained Western directives to domesticate nonhuman nature.
In examining how urban eco-artists perform alternate ecologies that
celebrate the interconnectedness of marginalized human, vegetal,
and aquatic life, Ryan suggests that small environmental
performances can expose spatial injustice and increase spatial
mobility. Bringing a performance perspective to the environmental
humanities, this interdisciplinary text offers readers stymied by
the global climate crisis a way forward. It will appeal to a wide
range of students and academics in performance, media studies,
urban geography, and environmental studies.

In the World Library of Educationalists series, international
scholars themselves compile career-long collections of what they
judge to be their finest pieces-extracts from books, key articles,
salient research findings, major theoretical and/or practical
contributions-so the world can read them in a single manageable
volume. Readers thus are able to follow the themes and strands of
their work and see their contribution to the development of a
field, as well as the development of the field itself. Contributors
to the series include: Michael Apple, James A. Banks, Joel Spring,
William F. Pinar, Stephen J. Ball, Elliot Eisner, Howard Gardner,
John Gilbert, Ivor F. Goodson, and Peter Jarvis. In this volume,
Courtney B. Cazden, renowned educational sociolinguist, brings
together a selection of her seminal work, organized around three
themes: development of individual communicative competence in both
oral and written language and discourse; classroom interaction in
learning and teaching; and social justice/educational equity issues
in wider contexts beyond the classroom. Since the 1970s, Cazden has
been a key figure in the ethnography of schooling, focusing on
children's linguistic development (both oral and written) and the
functions of language in formal education, primarily but not
exclusively in the United States. Combining her experiences as a
former primary schoolteacher with the insight and methodological
rigor of a trained ethnographer and linguist, Cazden helped to
establish ethnography and discourse analysis as central
methodologies for analyzing classroom interaction. This capstone
volume highlights her major contributions to the field.

Early in his career, actor Courtney B. Vance lost his father to
suicide. Recently, he lost his godson to the same fate. Still, as
mental health discourse hits the mainstream, it leaves the most
vulnerable out of the conversation: Black men. In America, we teach
that strength means holding back tears and shaming your own
feelings. In the Black community, these pressures are especially
poignant. Poor mental health outcomes-- including diagnoses of
depression and anxiety, reliance on prescription drugs, and
suicide-- have skyrocketed in the past decade. Institutionalized
racism, microaggressions, and stress caused by socioeconomic
factors have led Black individuals to face worse mental health
outcomes than any other demographic. In this book, Courtney B.
Vance seeks to change this trajectory. Along with professional
expertise from famed psychologist Dr. Robin Smith (popularly known
as "Dr. Robin"), Courtney B. Vance explores issues of grief,
relationships, identity, and race through the telling of his own
most formative experiences. Together, Courtney and Dr. Robin
provide a guide for Black men navigating life's ups and downs,
reclaiming mental well-being, and examining broken pieces to find
whole, full-hearted living. Self-care is an act of revolution. It's
time to revolutionize mental health in the Black community.

Ashley Parker knows trouble. And Nathan Williams--star quarterback
and charming ladies man--is trouble. She knows he'll only break her
heart. But that doesn't stop her from jumping in feet first. When
her whole world is flipped upside down, her guitar and her lyrics
become her only solace. Along with sexy guitar player Caleb
Mathews. Fueled by heartache, love, and lust, Ashley finds herself
in the best kind of trouble. Boy trouble.
Emily has always felt like there was more to her parents'
mysterious death, more to her being sent to live with the Lyall's
when she was fifteen. And definitely more to her inexplicable
infatuation with Luke, the Lyall's youngest son. Luke can't help
but be drawn to Emily. She has these perfect blue eyes, unlike any
he's ever seen. And he feels a fierce need to protect her.
Suddenly, one night, changes everything. He feels conflicted about
his feelings and his destiny, as he and Emily are suddenly plunged
into a strange new world. Fast paced and action packed, a romance
between Emily and Luke begins to take shape just as they are thrust
into an ancient war, caught in the crossfire of bloodlust, revenge
and love.
