Transparent Teaching of Adolescents is a philosophy, method, and
timely application of strategies that span the school year. A
collaborative effort from all over the globe, the dialogue between
this teacher and her former students presents both the wholeness of
teaching and a model of how to build rapport, engage high school
students in their experience, and enrich learning at the secondary
level of education.
The year is 2209, and the hour has grown late for the human race.
Famine and disease have drastically compounded the misery of a
warming planet. With many billions scrambling after the Earth's
depleted resources, a multinational agency known as The Authority
has instituted a population-control policy known simply as Labor.
In an effort to stem the tides of procreation and instill a measure
of gender equality in the birthing process, men must survive a
deadly twenty-four-hour gauntlet of chaos and destruction in order
to earn the privilege to become fathers. The Authority regulates
every aspect of the birthing process, from ensuring that male
subjects abstain from alcohol and prescription drugs to delivering
each man a quota of sleepless nights. Such is the case for Bryan
Norton, whose wife's due date has just fallen into testing range.
Very soon, they will experience the joy of the birth of their son.
Norton has endured the year-long process of qualifying for Labor.
He has sacrificed his health and comfort for the chance to become a
father. But the greatest test still lies ahead, and the chances are
slim that he'll ever hold his son in his arms. Daniel Powell's new
dystopic novelette "Survival" poses an enduring human question: How
far would you go to be with your family? Drawing upon influences as
diverse as Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game," Kurt
Vonnegut's "Harrison Bergeron" and Stephen King's THE RUNNING MAN,
"Survival" is a chilling narrative on the nature of parenthood in
turbulent times.

The ubiquity of social media has transformed the scope and scale of
scholarly communication in the arts and humanities. The
consequences of this new participatory and collaborative
environment for humanities research has allowed for fresh
approaches to communicating research. Social Knowledge Creation
takes up the norms and customs of online life to reorient,
redistribute, and oftentimes flatten traditional academic
hierarchies. This book discusses the implications of how humanists
communicate with the world and looks to how social media shapes
research methods. This volume addresses peer-review, open access
publishing, tenure and promotion, mentorship, teaching,
collaboration, and interdisciplinarity as a comprehensive
introduction to these rapidly changing trends in scholarly
communication, digital pedagogy, and educational technology.
Collaborative structures are rapidly augmenting disciplinary focus
of humanities curriculum and the public impact of humanities
research teams with new organizational and disciplinary thinking.
Social Knowledge Creation represents a particularly dynamic and
growing field in which the humanities seeks to find new ways to
communicate the legacy and traditions of humanities based inquiry
in a 21st century context. New Technologies in Medieval and
Renaissance Studies Volume 7. Edited by Alyssa Arbuckle, Aaron
Mauro, and Daniel Powell
