Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Maria Martin is a small woman with a big heart and a strong mind
who always looks for the good in people. A teacher who loves to
share her passion for learning with her high school students, Maria
never imagines that one day she will become a victim of a
phenomenon more common than she ever realizes.
In 2000 after Maria accepts a teaching job at the Penn Area
Vocational Technical School, she begins keeping a diary as a way to
record events she hopes will help her become a better teacher, role
model, and person. Maria's love for her daughter, Alonna, and her
rewarding job bring her a good life-until she begins to receive
flowers on a regular basis from a married male coworker she barely
knows. Alan Pierce has set his sights on Maria, an unwilling
participant in his well-known sexual escapades. As his advances
escalate, Maria soon finds herself in the midst of a nightmare
infused with verbal intimidations, vandalism, and a physical
assault.
In this compelling story based on true events, one woman must
rely on her inner strength to rise up above the heartless,
malicious behavior of her tormentors and seek justice for all.

Many teachers use traditional counting and shape books in math
class. But what would happen if we approached any story with a math
lens? How might mathematizing children's literature give learners
space to ask their own questions and make connections between
stories, their lives, and the world around them? These are the
questions Allison Hintz and Antony T. Smith set out to explore in
this book as they invite us to consider fresh ways of using
interactive read-alouds to nurture students as both readers and
mathematicians. Inside Mathematizing Children's Literature, you'll
learn how to do the following: Select picture books according to
the goals of the read aloud experience. Plan and facilitate three
kinds of read aloud discussions-Open Notice and Wonder, Math Lens
and Story Explore. Utilize Idea Investigations-experiences that
invite students to pursue literacy and math-focused ideas beyond
the pages of the-read aloud. Connect with students' families and
communities through stories. Along the way, Allison and Antony
offer a wide range of picture book suggestions and appendices that
include ready-to-use planning templates, a note-taking form, and a
bookmark of guiding questions. Mathematizing Children's Literature
is a practical resource you'll find yourself referring to
frequently.
In what ways did Europeans interact with the diversity of people
they encountered on other continents in the context of colonial
expansion, and with the peasant or ethnic 'Other' at home? How did
anthropologists and ethnologists make sense of the mosaic of people
and societies during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, when
their disciplines were progressively being established in academia?
By assessing the diversity of European intellectual histories
within sociocultural anthropology, this volume aims to sketch its
intellectual and institutional portrait. It will be a useful
reading for the students of anthropology, ethnology, history and
philosophy of science, research and science policy makers.
The people of South Africa, and the African National Congress-led
government, have made extraordinary social and economic advances
since ending apartheid and beginning the transition to democracy in
1994. But the country still faces severe problems of mass
unemployment, underemployment and poverty. This study, sponsored by
the United Nations Development Program, presents a detailed
economic program designed to produce major reductions in
unemployment and poverty, and a general spreading of economic
well-being, and to achieve these ends in a manner that is
sustainable over a longer-term framework. The 'employment-targeted'
program developed here builds from standard policy tools and
initiatives already undertaken by the government in the areas of
macroeconomic policy, development banking and large-scale credit
subsidies, labor-intensive public investments, and social welfare
expenditures. The authors introduce these measures alongside
specific proposals in the areas of fiscal budgetary control,
inflation control and exchange rate management. Students and
scholars of development economics will find this analysis of South
Africa's economy, and the authors' plan for stimulating job growth,
of great interest.
This rigorous book is a complete and up-to-date reference for the
Csound system from the perspective of its main developers and power
users. It explains the system, including the basic modes of
operation and its programming language; it explores the many ways
users can interact with the system, including the latest features;
and it describes key applications such as instrument design, signal
processing, and creative electronic music composition. The Csound
system has been adopted by many educational institutions as part of
their undergraduate and graduate teaching programs, and it is used
by practitioners worldwide. This book is suitable for students,
lecturers, composers, sound designers, programmers, and researchers
in the areas of music, sound, and audio signal processing.
Revelations published by the whistleblower platform WikiLeaks,
including the releases of U.S. diplomatic cables in what became
referred to as 'Cablegate', put WikiLeaks into the international
spotlight and sparked intense about the role and impact of leaks in
a digital era. Beyond WikiLeaks opens a space to reflect on the
broader implications across political and media fields, and on the
transformations that result from new forms of leak journalism and
transparency activism. A select group of renowned scholars,
international experts, and WikiLeaks 'insiders' discuss the
consequences of the WikiLeaks saga for traditional media,
international journalism, freedom of expression, policymaking,
civil society, social change, and international politics. From
short insider reports to elaborate and theoretically informed
academic texts, the different chapters provide critical assessments
of the current historical juncture of our mediatized society and
offer outlooks of the future. Authors include, amongst others,
Harvard University's Yochai Benkler, Graham Murdoch of Loughborough
University, net activism scholar, Gabriella Coleman, the Director
for International Freedom of Expression at the Electronic Frontier
Foundation, Jillian York, and Guardian editor, Chris Elliott. The
book also includes a conversation between philosopher, Slavoj
Zizek, and WikiLeaks founder, Julian Assange, and its prologue is
written by Birgitta Jonsdottir, Icelandic MP and editor of the
