With his trademark charm and biting wit, award-winning filmmaker Michael Moore sets off on a rollicking journey to the heart of America, hoping to discover why the American pursuit of happiness is so riddled with mass violence.
Moore boldly asks a question that post September 11, no other American dare ask: “Are we a nation of gun nuts – or are we just nuts?”
For Americans, it is a damningly funny indictment of a culture of fear that is armed to the teeth and running amuck. For everyone else it is a humorous warning about what coul happen to any country that chooses the American Way of creating a massive permanent underclass that must be fought off with constitutionally protected Uzi.
Chef Michael Moore was busy running his restaurant, cooking on
television, climbing the ranks of the world's top chefs and
exploring the globe when he got the news that he was a diabetic.
Living with diabetes, he was faced with the daily challenge of
healthy eating. Blood Sugar - Food to Share will open your eyes to
inspirational, creative and stunning dishes that you can share and
enjoy with your friends and family. There is something for every
occasion and palette, from breakfasts and brunches to decadent
dinner parties and desserts.
Basics of Game Design is for anyone wanting to become a
professional game designer. Focusing on creating the game mechanics
for data-driven games, it covers role-playing, real-time strategy,
first-person shooter, simulation, and other games. Written by a
25-year veteran of the game industry, the guide offers detailed
explanations of how to design the data sets used to resolve game
play for moving, combat, solving puzzles, interacting with NPCs,
managing inventory, and much more. Advice on developing stories for
games, building maps and levels, and designing the graphical user
interface is also included.
What challenges are posed by changing transnational trends, agendas
and movements that affect disabled people's lives, and what can
disabled people, their representative organisations and their
governments do to advance the agenda for self-determination and
inclusion? This book draws together the writing of academics and
activists to depict the experience and perspective of disabled
people in relation to a range of contemporary social changes, with
a focus firmly on ways in which disabled people and their allies
can act to counter disabling policies and practices. Throughout the
book there is an emphasis on disabled people's own voices and
activism as the critical driver of theoretical critique and
practical change. Chapters address a wide range of cultural,
institutional and personal arenas to explore and contest the
boundaries that disabled people seek to move beyond, from
cross-border labour movements in Korea to experience of day
services in England, from continuing and long-lasting realities of
wars in Lebanon, Cambodia and Somalia to the beauty of harmony in
Navajo traditions for understanding disability, from collective
activism to individual participation in the Olympics. This book is
recommended reading for students, researchers and activists
interested in Disability Studies and is directly relevant to policy
makers and practitioners in a position to reshape rights, spaces
and innovations in response to the priorities disabled people feel
and articulate are important for their lives. It was originally
published as a special issue of Disability & Society.

This book provides a space in which struggles for indigenous
knowledge within communities are articulated, valued, heard, and
responded to. The volume takes change as its focus, yet
acknowledges that the origins and significance of change are
frequently found to be unsettling. Contributors explore different
understandings of change that forge sustainable, inclusive and just
communities and examine issues related to citizenship, resistance,
peacemaking, critical literacies, and second chance opportunities.
The authors seek to promote advocacy of change that recognises the
importance of an informed engagement with cross-cultural issues in
order to foreground those missing perspectives that are often
marginalised, silenced, ignored or denied. All contributors are
concerned with how the process of change can bridge the gap between
social justice and exclusion and develop critical understandings of
the implications of changing policy and practice for those within
and working with the educational organisations and communities.
Easily staged scenes with believable characters in a wide variety
of comic and dramatic situations. The duets are divided into four
categories: Gender Neutral; Male & Female; Male Only; Female
Only. The short length of each duet scene makes it easy for
students to memorise lines. Excellent for contests, acting practice
or comedy revue shows.
Researching Life Stories critically and pragmatically reflects upon
the use of life stories in social and educational research. Using
four life stories as examples, the authors apply four different,
practical approaches to demonstrate effective research and
analysis.
As well as examining in detail the four life stories around which
the book is written, areas covered include:
* Method and methodology in life story research
* Analysis
* Reflections on analyses
* Craft and ethics in researching life
* Policy, practice and theory in life story research.
Throughout the book the authors demystify the issues surrounding
life story research and demonstrate the significance of this
approach to understanding individual and social worlds.
This unique approach to life story research will be a valuable
resource for all social science and education researchers at
undergraduate and postgraduate level.

This book presents and discusses an approach to action research to
help reverse discriminatory and exclusionary practices in
education. Insider accounts of action research will help challenge
assumptions about the limits of inclusive education, and offer
examples of how change can be realistically achieved through
processes of collaboration and participation. Written by a team of
practitioner researchers drawn from a wide range of schools and
services, this book addresses a wide range of real-life situations
by exploring ways in which teachers have tackled inequalities in
the school environment through action research based on principles
of equality and democracy. These include: * the co-ordination of
services for minority ethnic groups, including refugee and asylum
seeking children * young children with autism working with peers in
the literacy hour * action research and the inclusion of gay
students * developing the role of learning support assistants in
inclusion * reducing exclusion of children with challenging
behaviour * listening to the voices of young people with severe
learning difficulties * developing links between special and
mainstream schools * challenging marginalising practices in Further
Education.
This edited collection brings together keynote articles from the
journal Disability & Society to provide a comprehensive and
though-provoking exploration of the place of technology in disabled
people's lives, documenting and analysing the growing impact of
technology on disability and society over recent decades. The
authors explore theoretical, empirical and moral dilemmas that
arise with the changing relationship between technological change
and the lives, aspirations and possibilities of disabled people.
The volume is organised into three parts which consider early
foundational work connecting disability and technology; key
empirical studies related to the optimum use of technologies for
independence and inclusion; and new moral and social dynamics
thrown up by technological developments for disabled people's
lives.

This volume examines the emergence of alternative spaces and
architectural landscapes of Islamic practice in contemporary Africa
through the lens of the masjid, whose definition as a "place of
prostration" has enabled Muslim populations across the continent to
navigate the murky waters of the contemporary condition through a
purposeful renovation of spiritual space. Drawing from multiple
disciplines and utilizing a series of diverse case studies,
Michelle Apotsos reflects on the shifting realities of Islamic
communities as they engage in processes of socio-political and
cultural transformation. Illustrated through the growth of
forward-thinking and in flexible environments that highlight how
Muslim communities have developed unique solutions to the problem
of performing identity within diverse contexts across the
continent, she re-imagines the major themes surrounding definitions
of Islamic architectural space in the contemporary period in Africa
and the nature of the "modernity" as it has unfolded across diverse
contexts on the continent.
