This user-friendly book equips school practitioners with practical
skills and strategies for conducting student-driven
interviews-conversations that invite students of all ages to take
charge of school-behavior problems and build solutions based on
their own strengths and resources. In contrast to traditional
interviewing models that approach behavior problems by focusing on
what is wrong and missing in students' lives, student-driven
interviews help students discover and apply what is right and
working in their lives-successes, strengths, values, and other
"natural resources." In Conducting Student-Driven Interviews,
readers will learn how to customize conversations one student at a
time using ideas and techniques that have been field tested for
application to real problems of real students in the real world of
schools. The book's positive, student-driven approach is
illustrated through dozens of real-life dialogues and examples
involving a wide range of students and problems, and the author's
irrepressible faith in students' ability to change jumps off of
every page. School-based professionals of all backgrounds will find
Conducting Student-Driven Interviews an invaluable roadmap for
increasing student involvement and involving students in every
aspect of their care, from goal development through evaluation of
services.

The latest hot camera is pretty irrelevant if one can't understand
what's happening on screen. The key to any narrative is in the
dialogue and voice over, but if this is unintelligible or difficult
to hear, viewers will soon lose interest. With real world
applications and a narrative to keep the reader's interest,
Production Sound Mixing is the indispensable guide for film and
video audio recording. Written by veteran sound mixer John J.
Murphy, the book offers a step by step collaborative journey
through the basic physics of sound, concluding with a practical
guide of the latest techniques and equipment available to all who
are interested in the best audio for their projects. Structured to
mimic a 14-week semester, each chapter begins with an audio problem
to be solved and ends with a solution drawn from information
gleaned from past chapters. Suggested movie scenes that demonstrate
the relevant audio techniques will also be included. Equally
applicable to studio and location recording, the book is oriented
toward commonly accessible environments such as conference rooms,
hallways, beaches, car interiors, bathrooms, and so on. The intent
is to allow the student to make the best of a location no matter
how challenging it might be. Most importantly, this book will make
one aware of the potential of sound on screen, for it is truly 50%
of the viewing experience.
Willa Cather at the Modernist Crux examines Willa Cather's position
in time, in aesthetics, and in the world. Born a Victorian in 1873,
Cather made herself a modernist through the poems, stories, and
novels she wrote and published into the twentieth century.
Beginning with a prologue locating Cather's position, this volume
of Cather Studies offers three sets of related essays. The first
section takes up Cather's beginnings with her late
nineteenth-century cultural influences. The second section explores
a range of discernible direct connections with contemporary artists
(Howard Pyle, Frederic Remington, and Ernest Blumenschein) and
others who figured in the making of her texts. The third section
focuses on The Song of the Lark, a novel that confirms Cather's
shift westward and elaborates her emergent modernism. An epilogue
by the editors of The Selected Letters of Willa Cather addresses
how the recent availability of these letters has transformed Cather
studies. Altogether, these essays detail Cather's shaping of the
world of the early twentieth century and later into a singular
modernism born of both inherited and newer cultural traditions.
The Divine Office is not difficult to say if only there be put into
the study of its various parts a little method and intelligent
attention. This book has been written principally to help
ecclesiastical students to learn in a practical ways and in a brief
time, how to say tbeir Office correctly. It is hoped that those who
carefully study its pages will find themselves thoroughly prepared
on the day of their ordination to Subdeaconship, to take upon
themselves the perpetual obligation of the Breviary. In the
concluding chapters of this work-under the heading of PRACTICAL
THEORY the subject of Titular and Dedication is treated at length.
Under this heading an amount of theory ha. Been given which will be
found useful not only on account of its direct bearing on the
practical question under consideration, but also because by its a
study the whole composition of the Ordo itself will be better
understood. These chapters, it ia confidently believed, will be
found helpful not only to student, but also to all priests attached
to churches, who often experience lome difficulty in arranging the
Office of the octave of their Titulars. Originally published in
1921, this describes the rubrics of the pre-1955 Breviary or the
Breviary of Saint Pius X. It was a popular book among clergy
studying for the priesthood and priests who use the older Breviary.
So you want to recite the Divine Office according to the
traditional unrevised Rites in place prior to 1955? This is the
book for you. This is a practical guide to the recitation of the
Catholic Divine Office according to the Breviarium Romanum as
celebrated before any of the Modernists began changing the Divine
Office. This explains simply how to recite all of the Hours of the
Divine Office from Matins to Compline. Originally published in
1921, this work is even more important today to those who wish to
preserve Catholicism and the Divine Office. Chapter 1 is an
overview of the Breviary. Chapter 2 explains the divisions. Chapter
3 is devoted to the Office of Matins of nine lessons and Chapter 4
is for Matins of three lessons. Chapter five is devoted to Lauds.
Chapter six explains the little hours. Chapter seven is devoted to
Vespers, while Chapter eight covers the night prayer of the Church,
Compline. Chapter nine explains where everything can be found,
while Chapter ten explains everything else a person needs to know
to recite the Divine office. Then begins a section of Practical
Theory, which covers any question that might arise in choosing the
proper office of the day. St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book
will be sufficient to cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope
Pius XII wrote in 1947 at the beatification of Blessed Maria
Goretti: "There rises to Our lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to
the world because of scandals ' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who
consciously and deliberately spread corruption-in novels,
newspapers, magazines, theaters, films, in a world of immodesty "

"The essays in Cather Studies, Volume 8 explore the many locales
and cultures informing Willa Cather's fiction. A lifelong
Francophile, Cather first visited France in 1902 and returned
repeatedly throughout her life. Her visits to France influenced not
only her writing but also her interpretation of other worlds; for
example, while visiting the American Southwest in 1912, a region
that informed her subsequent works, she first viewed that landscape
through the prism of her memories of Provence. Cather's
intellectual intercourse between the Old and the New World was a
two-way street, moving both people and cultural mores between the
two. But her worlds extended far beyond France, or even
geographical locations. This new volume pairs Cather innovatively
with additional influences---theological, aesthetic, even
gastronomical---and examines her as tourist and traveler cautiously
yet assiduoulsy exploring a diverse range of palces, ethnicities,
and professions."--BOOK JACKET.
Born on the wrong side of the track I managed through fate and
perseverance to step over to the other side. In doing so, my life
took many twists and turns both vocationally and geographically.
From steward on a train, to presenting papers at international
conferences on six continents; it has been a long and interesting
journey.
This path enabled me to achieve undreamed of heights. I became a
graduate of the Military Academy, fighter pilot consultant, and
professor.
I interacted with many people in my life, some interaction was
good some was bad, but from each interaction one learns something
and maybe just maybe it could be a life enriching experience.
Edith Lewis met Willa Cather in 1903 and remained her close friend
and traveling companion until Cather's death in 1947. In this
straightforward and affectionate biography Lewis illuminates the
human side of the great American novelist.

time-limited framework. Extensive case material illustrates the
authors' creative approach to building solutions and "busting
problems" by putting clients in the driver's seat. Filled with
real-world examples from both elementary and secondary settings,

problems, poor academic performance, anxiety, compulsive behaviors,
and other common difficulties.
