Third instalment in the Pixar/Disney CGI-animated series, filmed
for theatrical release using Disney Digital 3D. When their owner,
Andy (voiced by John Morris), clears out his bedroom in preparation
for starting college, Woody (Tom Hanks), Buzz (Tim Allen) and the
rest of the toy-box gang are dumped in the donations box at a local
nursery school and find themselves at the mercy of a horde of wild,
sticky-fingered toddlers. As they struggle to stay together while
coping with the chaos, the gang meet a new bunch of toys led by
pink teddy bear Lotso (Ned Beatty), while Barbie (Jodie Benson) is
at last united with her male counterpart, Ken (Michael Keaton). The
yearning to return home cannot be ignored, however, and many
comical adventures ensue as the toys make a series of elaborate
escape attempts. The film won Academy Awards for Best Animated
Feature Film and Music (Original Song).
State Voting Laws in America documents changing views on voting
rights, emphasizing court rulings which shaped our understanding of
what constitutes a legitimate right to vote.
Although US history is marred by institutionalized racism and
sexism, postracial and postfeminist attitudes drive our polarized
politics. Violence against people of color, transgendered and gay
people, and women soar upon the backdrop of Donald Trump, Tea Party
affiliates, alt-right members like Richard Spencer, and right-wing
political commentators like Milo Yiannopoulos who defend their
racist and sexist commentary through legalistic claims of freedom
of speech. While more institutions recognize the volatility of
these white men's speech, few notice or have thoughtfully
considered the role of white nationalist, alt-right, and
conservative white women's messages that organizationally preserve
white supremacy. In Rebirthing a Nation: White Women, Identity
Politics, and the Internet, author Wendy K. Z. Anderson details how
white nationalist and alt-right women refine racist rhetoric and
web design as a means of protection and simultaneous instantiation
of white supremacy, which conservative political actors including
Sarah Palin, Donald Trump, Kellyanne Conway, Sarah Huckabee
Sanders, and Ivanka Trump have amplified through transnational
politics. By validating racial fears and political divisiveness
through coded white identity politics, postfeminist and motherhood
discourse functions as a colorblind, gilded cage. Rebirthing a
Nation reveals how white nationalist women utilize colorblind
racism within digital space, exposing how a postfeminist framework
becomes fodder for conservative white women's political speech to
preserve institutional white supremacy.
Interactive Psychology: People in Perspective is the first online
textbook for introductory psychology that was conceived and built
as an immersive, interactive online learning experience. Whether
students read and work with this ebook on their phone, tablet or
laptop, Interactive Psychology will help them succeed in their
psychology course. Studies have shown that students who use
interactive ebooks spend significantly more time on the text's
practice materials than students who use printed textbooks and
students who test themselves frequently achieve better grades in
their courses (Sommers, Shin, Greenebaum, Merker, & Sanders,
2019). Interactive Psychology embraces that research to improve
student learning through interactive explorations, compelling
videos, dynamic maps and graphs, and Check Your Understanding
questions at the end of each study unit. With Interactive
Psychology students learn psychology by doing psychology.
Place-based education is on the rise. Tired of "teaching to the
test," educators are looking for authentic ways to connect their
curriculum to real life. The place-based approach brings students
into their communities to learn necessary content and skills by
working to meet the needs of local agencies and organizations.
Students are more engaged because they know they are doing real
work, teachers are reinvigorated by creating exciting learning
opportunities, and the school takes on a more active role in the
community. At the heart of this process is the place itself: the
land, the history, and the culture. Bringing School to Life:
Place-Based Education across the Curriculum by Sarah Anderson
offers insights into how to build a program across the K-8 grades.
Anderson addresses key elements such as mapping, local history,
citizen science, integrated curricula, and more. Additionally,
Anderson suggests strategies for building community partnerships
and implementation for primary grades. This book goes beyond theory
to give concrete examples and advice in how to make place-based
education a real educational option in any school.
After World War II, returning veterans with GI Bill benefits
ushered in an era of unprecedented growth that fundamentally
altered the meaning, purpose, and structure of higher education.
This volume explores the multifaceted and tumultuous transformation
of American higher education that occurred between 1945 and 1970,
while examining the changes in institutional forms, curricula,
clientele, faculty, and governance. A wide range of well-known
contributors cover topics such as the first public university to
explicitly serve an urban population, the creation of modern day
honors programs, how teachers' colleges were repurposed as state
colleges, the origins of faculty unionism and collective
bargaining, and the dramatic student protests that forever changed
higher education. This engaging text explores a critical moment in
the history of higher education, signaling a shift in the meaning
of a college education, the concept of who should and who could
obtain access to college, and what should be taught.
Africans and Globalization: Linguistic, Literary, and Technological
Contents and Discontents considers the substance and
dissatisfactions of globalization on Africa and its Diaspora.
Although variously framed across disciplines, globalization has
generally entailed non-milieu bound interactions, which alters the
existence of its participants. The concerns about the impact of
globalization have been raised in relation to Africa and have
related to the helpful and deleterious effects. Increasingly,
industrialization (without consideration of environmental impacts)
and westernization (including erosion of indigenous values) are
perceived as synonymous with globalization. This multidisciplinary
collection contends that in theory, globalization linked Africa
with the world through trade and information sharing, thereby
increasing development. This collection provides reflections based
on contemporary research within the linguistic, literary, and
technological areas of study. It illustrates that globalization is
not a single process but rather a complex set of processes that
seemingly operate in an oppositional manner. The collected works
make for exciting appraisal as they highlight some of the contents
and discontents of globalization across multiple areas of human
endeavor in Africa and its diaspora.

This book is an exploration of contemporary understanding from
philosophy, neuroscience, psychoanalysis, and metaphysical studies,
which seem to verify the value of the Epicurean sentiments in terms
of the wisdom of lived experience. It portrays the authoritarian
culture of the Rome.
Focusing on Christopher Marlowe, William Shakespeare, John Webster
and John Milton, Martyrs and Players in Early Modern England argues
that the English tragedians reflected an unease within the culture
to acts of religious violence. David Anderson explores a link
between the unstable emotional response of society to religious
executions in the Tudor-Stuart period, and the revival of tragic
drama as a major cultural form for the first time since classical
antiquity. Placing John Foxe at the center of his historical
argument, Anderson argues that Foxe's Book of Martyrs exerted a
profound effect on the social conscience of English Protestantism
in his own time and for the next century. While scholars have in
recent years discussed the impact of Foxe and the martyrs on the
period's literature, this book is the first to examine how these
most vivid symbols of Reformation-era violence influenced the
makers of tragedy. As the persecuting and the persecuted churches
collided over the martyr's body, Anderson posits, stress fractures
ran through the culture and into the playhouse; in their depictions
of violence, the early modern tragedians focused on the ethical
confrontation between collective power and the individual sufferer.
Martyrs and Players in Early Modern England sheds new light on the
particular emotional energy of Tudor-Stuart tragedy, and helps
explain why the genre reemerged at this time.
This volume discusses why faculty and administrators of academe
should care about implementing family-friendly policies and
practices, as well as how they can advocate for policy changes. In
section one, the book's focus is on empirical studies that
demonstrate the need for innovative programs and policies for
faculty at colleges and universities. These pieces explore issues
such as the value of work/life programs for employee retention, the
need for a variety of family support policies including elder care,
and the influence of workplace culture on the use of existing
policies. Section two includes case studies of the process of
formulating family-friendly policies and their adoption at a
variety of universities. The subjects of these chapters include use
of the Family and Medical Leave Act, the enactment of a parental
leave policy, the development of a unique "life cycle professorship
program," and strategies used to implement new policies. The case
study chapters provide descriptions of the identification of
faculty and staff needs and the process of policy development as
well as advice to faculty and administrators who seek to develop
similar policies at their institutions.

Chinese immigrants played a dynamic role in frontier America, yet
scholars of Asian America have focused for the most part only on
the Pacific Coast, especially California. This reader fills that
gap by collecting memoirs, documents, and historical analyses from
the other Western states from the Cascades to the Great Plains to
provide a comprehensive overview of the Chinese in
nineteenth-century America. Selecting among a wealth of primary and
secondary material, Dirlik has chosen works that enlarge our
understanding of the Chinese presence in the West and the
development of Chinese cultural formations on the frontier.
Providing insights not only into frontier society in the United
States, but also into U.S.-Chinese relations of the time, this
volume will be invaluable for all readers interested in China,
Western history, and the history of Asian America."

Every year the ant colony of a tiny island are forced to hand over
their midsummer grain to a marauding band of grasshoppers, led by
the evil Hopper (voiced by Kevin Spacey). Worker ant Flik (Dave
Foley) sets off to get help from the big city, where he mistakes a
troupe of circus bugs for fierce warriors. After being fired by
their ringmaster, P.T. Flea (John Ratzenberger), the bugs accompany
Flik back to his home, thinking that he is a talent scout. When all
becomes clear, they are less than happy at the prospect of fighting
off Hopper and his gang!
These case studies from five continents use ethnography and history to challenge the sweeping claims of sociology’s world culture theory (neo-institutionalism). They demonstrate how national ministries of education and local schools re-invent every reform. Yet the cases also show that teachers and local reformers operate “within and against” global models.
