This groundbreaking text provides practical, contextualized methods
for teaching and discussing topics that are considered "taboo" in
the classroom in ways that support students' lived experiences. In
times when teachers are scapegoated for adopting culturally
sustaining teaching practices and are pressured to "whitewash" the
curriculum, it becomes more challenging to create an environment
where students and teachers can have conversations about complex,
uncomfortable topics in the classroom. With contributions from
scholars and K-12 teachers who have used young adult literature to
engage with their students, chapters confront this issue and focus
on themes such as multilingualism, culturally responsive teaching,
dis/ability, racism, linguicism, and gender identity. Using
approaches grounded in socioemotional learning, trauma-informed
practices, and historical and racial literacy, this text explores
the ways in which books with complicated themes can interact
positively with students' own lives and perspectives. Ideal for
courses on ELA and literature instruction, this book provides a
fresh set of perspectives and methods for approaching and engaging
with difficult topics. As young adult literature that addresses
difficult subjects is more liable to be considered "controversial"
to teach, teachers will benefit from the additional guidance this
volume provides, so that they can effectively reach the very
students these themes address.

This volume presents research from a variety of perspectives on the
enhancement of human intelligence. It is organized around five
themes - enhancement via instruction; enhancement via development
(over the life cycle); enhancement over time; enhancement via new
constructs; and new directions in enhancement.Three key issues are
addressed: First, although most of the scientific research on
intelligence has concerned what it is, this volume attends to the
consequential societal and economic issue concerns of whether it
can be increased, and how.Second, intellectual enhancement is
particularly important when targeted to minorities and the poor,
groups that have typically performed relatively less well on
intelligence and achievement measures. This volume reflects the
education community's ongoing interest in understanding, and
attempting to close, achievement or test score gaps.Third, most of
the attention to examining intellectual enhancement, and in
accounting for and closing the test-score gap, has focused on
general cognitive ability. In line with the current emphasis on
considering intelligence from a wider perspective, this volume
includes constructs such as emotional and practical intelligence in
definitions of intellectual functioning.Extending Intelligence:
Enhancement and New Constructs is an essential volume for
researchers, students, and professionals in the fields of
educational psychology, intelligence, educational measurement and
assessment, and critical thinking.

Combining modern psychiatry with sound biblical theology, three

clinical, phychological, and spiritual answers.
General editor Lloyd J. Ogilvie brings together a team of
skilled and exceptional communicators to blend sound scholarship
with life-related illustrations.
The design for the Preacher's Commentary gives the reader an
overall outline of each book of the Bible. Following the
introduction, which reveals the author's approach and salient
background on the book, each chapter of the commentary provides the
Scripture to be exposited. The New King James Bible has been chosen
for the Preacher's Commentary because it combines with integrity
the beauty of language, underlying Hebrew and Greek textual basis,
and thought-flow of the 1611 King James Version, while replacing
obsolete verb forms and other archaisms with their everyday
contemporary counterparts for greater readability. Reverence for
God is preserved in the capitalization of all pronouns referring to
the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit. Readers who are more comfortable
with another translation can readily find the parallel passage by
means of the chapter and verse reference at the end of each passage
being exposited. The paragraphs of exposition combine fresh
insights to the Scripture, application, rich illustrative material,
and innovative ways of utilizing the vibrant truth for his or her
own life and for the challenge of communicating it with vigor and
vitality.
Although studies of fascism have constituted one of the most
fertile areas of historical inquiry in recent decades, more and
more scholars have called for a new agenda with more research
beyond Italy and Germany, less preoccupation with definition and
classification, and more sustained focus on the relationships among
different fascist formations before 1945. Starting from a critical
assessment of these imperatives, this rigorous volume charts a
historiographical path that transcends rigid distinctions while
still developing meaningful criteria of differentiation. Even as we
take fascism seriously as a political phenomenon, such an approach
allows us to better understand its distinctive contradictions and
historical variations.
This book provides a comprehensive overview and in-depth analysis
of research on psychosocial skills, examining both theory and areas
of application. It discusses students' psychosocial skills both as
components of academic success and desired educational outcomes in
grades K through 12. The book describes an organizing framework for
psychosocial skills and examines a range of specific constructs
that includes achievement, motivation, self-efficacy, creativity,
emotional intelligence, resilience, and the need for cognition. In
addition, it reviews specific school-based interventions and
examines issues that concern the malleability of psychosocial
skills. It addresses issues relating to the integration of
psychosocial skills into school curriculum as well as large-scale
assessment policies. Topics featured in this book include:
Development of psychosocial skills in grades K-12. Assessment of
psychosocial skills. Conscientiousness in education and its
relation to meaningful educational outcomes. Creativity in schools,
including theory, assessment, and interventions. Academic emotions
and their regulation through emotional intelligence. Resilience and
school-based programs aimed at enhancing it. Psychosocial Skills
and School Systems in the 21st Century is a must-have resource for
researchers, graduate students, clinicians, mental health
professionals, and policymakers in child and school psychology,
educational policy and politics, public health, social work,
developmental psychology, and educational psychology.

Romanticism and Blackwood's Magazine is inspired by the ongoing
critical fascination with Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, and the
burgeoning recognition of its centrality to the Romantic age.
Though the magazine itself was published continuously for well over
a century and a half, this volume concentrates specifically on
those years when William Blackwood was at the helm, beginning with
his founding of the magazine in 1817 and closing with his death in
1834. These were the years when, as Samuel Taylor Coleridge put it
in 1832, Blackwood's reigned as "an unprecedented Phenomenon in the
world of letters." The magazine placed itself at the centre of the
emerging mass media, commented decisively on all the major
political and cultural issues that shaped the Romantic movement,
and published some of the leading writers of the day, including
Coleridge, Thomas De Quincey, John Galt, Felicia Hemans, James
Hogg, Walter Scott, and Mary Shelley.
This collection of essays throws vast new light on the most
significant literary-political journal of the Romantic age. Its
chapters analyze Blackwood's wide-ranging contributions on some of
the most topical issues in Romantic studies, including celebrity,
British versus Scottish nationalism, and the rise of terror and
detective fiction.
An authoritative and up-to-date survey of the fundamental
principles, and practice of drug delivery at the cellular level. On
the principles side, the authors discuss the broad spectrum of
cellular delivery, ranging from coverage of cell-mediated immunity,
gene delivery, and protein targeting, to cellular drug transport,
cellular drug permeability, and a variety of carrier system related
to targeted drug delivery. On the practice side, the authors focus
on technological developments in cellular drug delivery, including
novel formulations for the delivery of DNA and antisense
oligonucleotides, as well as drug targeting with immunoglobulin
formulations and antibody-mediated approaches.
