Classic drama in which three soulful sisters rise out of Harlem to
become music's hottest singing group. Against the vibrant grooves
of Curtis Mayfield, these divas explode onto the scene with
off-the-hook harmonies and a sexy style that catapults them to
superstardom. But not every fairytale has a happy ending and when
success leads to excess, one sister's star will fade, while
another's will sparkle.

The idea of universalism inherited from the French Revolution has
been strongly discredited by its colonial history; today, it is
also the target of nationalist attacks. What remains of it? Now
available in English, Markus Messling's critically acclaimed study
shows how contemporary Francophone literatures seek, after European
universalism, approaches to a new universality, without which
knowledge and justice cannot be organised in world society. With a
foreword by Souleymane Bachir Diagne

How does the entrance of a character on the tragic stage affect
their visibility and presence? Beginning with the court culture of
the seventeenth century and ending with Nietzsche's Dionysian
theater, this monograph explores specific modes of entering the
stage and the conditions that make them successful-or cause them to
fail. The study argues that tragic entrances ultimately always
remain incomplete; that the step figures take into visibility
invariably remains precarious. Through close readings of texts by
Racine, Goethe, and Kleist, among others, it shows that entrances
promise both triumph and tragic exposure; though they appear to be
expressions of sovereignty, they are always simultaneously
threatened by failure or annihilation. With this analysis, the book
thus opens up possibilities for a new theory of dramatic form, one
that begins not with the plot itself but with the stage entrance
that structures how characters appear and thus determines how the
plot advances. By reflecting on acts of entering, this book
addresses not only scholars of literature, theater, media, and art
but anyone concerned with what it means to appear and be present.
Over the last few years, second generation Internet-based services,
or Web 2.0 technologies, have emerged as the new buzzwords in
information communication technologies. ""The Handbook of Research
on Web 2.0 and Second Language Learning"" investigates how those
involved in education - teachers, students, and administrators -
can respond to the opportunities offered by Web 2.0 technology,
within existing institutional and pedagogical frameworks.
Containing nearly 30 chapters by experts from across the globe,
this defining body of research is the first of its kind to focus on
second language learning in relation to the history of computer
assisted language learning.This book features 28 authoritative
contributions by over 40 of the world's leading experts on second
language learning from 13 countries. It features: a comprehensive
coverage of each specific topic, highlighting recent trends and
describing the latest advances in the field; more than 1,200
references to existing literature and research on second language
learning; and a compendium of over 200 key terms with detailed
definitions. It is organized by topic and indexed, making it a
convenient method of reference for all IT/IS scholars and
professionals. It also features cross-referencing of key terms,
figures, and information pertinent to second language learning.
We all have our take on what is divine and what makes things
divine. As we get older we tend to spend more time contemplating
the divine. When the author, Michael Thomas, first saw a picture of
this fresco, he was stricken with feelings of identification. For
him, this picture was a wonderful representation of the divine, so
he has chosen to share it with his readers as a personal expression
of divinity. In his fifth volume of poetry, Michael Thomas becomes
more philosophical and begins to plum the depths of humanity,
looking for the goodness that he can attach himself to . As
readers, we have the chance to attach ourselves to divinity through
his words.
Almost 5,000 years ago Enheduanna took time to write 42 hymns and a
poem called Min-Me-Sar-Ra or The Exaultation of Inanna. She is
considered the first woman author in recorded history. Forward fast
a few thousand years and we are priviledged to have the more
sophisticated pennings of Michael Thomas, and you do not have to
carry huge volumes of stone tablets to read it. Yet, Michael pays
homage to the greatness of those who blazed the trail upon which
the rest of us travel. He pulls it all into an amalgamous knowledge
of expressive language. Come and see what poetry has evolved to
over 5,000 years.
Over the last decade there continues to be an increase in the
technology and how it affects our lives. Since then the
incorporation of electronic databases and other communication tools
for students, faculty and staff, virtual learning environments have
become an important innovation in the student learning experience.
Technologies, Innovation, and Change in Personal and Virtual
Learning Environments presents a widespread collection of research
on the growth, innovation and implementation of learning
technologies for educators, technologists and trainers. The book is
a useful source for academics and professionals interested in
information and communication technologies.

As an accountant, Michael Thomas has had difficulty applying his
great knowledge of history, literature and art. But in his poetry,
he is free to express his understandings in unbridled creative and
playful ways. This, his most recent book of poetry is likely his
most creative and playful, as he becomes more versed and practiced
every day. Michael is blessed with an extensive vocabulary and the
understanding of how to blend words to create effects which are
more than the sum of the phrases, like a jazz master plays a
saxophone solo. You cannot put what you heard into words, you only
know that it left you awed and satisfied when it was over. Such is
the sublime nature of high art in all of its varied forms. In
Michael Thomas Poetry 6, we have a collection that in totality
reaches that sublimity a multitude of times, leaving the reader
many memorable experiences
There are writers and there are writers, there are poets and then
there are poets, and then there's Michael Thomas. Here is a man who
is a Vietnam Veteran, has lived in a commune, has slept in
doorways, and is a very respected C. P. A. How does this all happen
to the same man? Fate, chance, whatever the reason, what matters is
it did happen. In his first book of poetry, Michael takes us on the
rich and varied journey which is his life, complete with all of the
philosophical questions, and sometimes even answers. Yet, at the
heart of it all is a kindness and a gratitude towards life that is
refreshing and nourishing. If you like poetry, or even if you just
like to experience the world through the eyes of someone who truly
loves life, you will love Michael Thomas Poetry.
This edited book brings together documented evidence and
theoretical propositions on the essential mediating role of digital
technology in L2 teacher education and professional development.
Topics range from technological affordances in teacher education,
to challenges and responses to emergency transition from face to
face to virtual professional development, to successful practices
of online teacher training courses. Bringing together examples from
various countries and contexts of how L2 teacher trainers and
trainee teachers view these forced changes and react to them, the
volume fills a gap in the use of digital technology in contexts
where teacher educators and trainee teachers are not
technology-literate and not prepared for technology-oriented
education. In addition to a Foreword by Mark Warschauer and
Introduction and Conclusion chapters by Editors, the volume
features 13 full-length chapters by some of the well-known experts
from countries such as Australia, Finland, Mexico, the UK, the USA,
Spain, Singapore, Turkey and Sweden.
