Taking a close look at the issue of the arts and school reform,
this book explores in detail how the incorporation of the arts into
the identity of a school can be key to its resilience. Based on the
A+ School Program, an arts-based school reform effort, it is much
more than a report of a single case - this landmark study is a
comprehensive, longitudinal analysis of arts in education
initiatives that discusses the political, fiscal, and curricular
implications inherent in taking the arts seriously.
Offering a model for implementation as well as evaluation that
can be widely adapted in other schools and school districts, this
book will inspire arts educators to move from advocating more arts
to advocating the arts as a way to reform schools. Administrators
and policy makers will see how curriculum integration can be used
to revitalize and energize schools and serve as a springboard to
wider reform initiatives. Researchers and students across the
fields of arts education, school reform, organizational change, and
foundations of education will be informed and enlightened by this
real-world scenario of large-scale school reform.

For the many children torn from their families, taken miles from
home and placed with strangers, the evacuation at the outbreak of
the Second World War was a life-changing experience. In Goodnight
Children, Everywhere, men and women who were children at the time
recall their poignant memories of being labelled, lined up and
taken away. Their parents, urged by the government not to see the
children off on the buses and trains, had no assurance that they
would ever see their sons and daughters again. No lives were lost
and no one was injured. Not so considered was the psychological
wellbeing of these suddenly dislocated children. Some children were
advantaged by the dramatic change in their lives; others, separated
from all they knew and loved, suffered unendurable heartbreak. This
is their story.
This book is a unique surgical pathology grossing atlas, comprised
of a collection of photos of various anatomic specimens frequently
encountered in routine and frozen surgical pathology practice,
including various organ systems. The photos in this atlas have been
collected over many years of practicing surgical pathology in one
of the largest medical centers in the world, and include emphasis
on important anatomic landmarks and explanations on how to properly
orient, section and sample anatomic specimens. The use of actual
gross images allows readers to more readily apply the grossing tips
to actual specimens that they encounter at the grossing bench. Each
chapter is arranged by organ system and includes essential tips for
grossing each specimen and sample dictations with all the essential
elements that must be addressed for proper assessment of each organ
specimen. Written by expert pathologists, Atlas of Surgical
Pathology Grossing is an excellent resource for pathologists,
medical and pathology assistant students, residents, both in
surgery and pathology, and pathology assistants.
Sunflower is an important edible oilseed crop in India. The major
constraint in profitable sunflower cultivation is the
susceptibility to Alternaria leaf spot / blight caused by A.
helianthi. This has necessitated to study the implications of seed
borne nature of A. helianthi of sunflower on seed quality and to
find out suitable method for detection of A. helianthi. Studies on
cultural, morphological and molecular variation of A. helianthi
isolates collected from different locations in Andhra Pradesh were
also made. Significant adverse effects of A. helianthi on seed
quality parameters viz., germination, seed vigour and moisture
content and oil content were also observed. Among different
detection methods, Sunflower leaf extract medium (SLEM) was found
best in detection of the pathogen in the infected seed samples.
Molecular variability of A. helianthi isolates using RAPD analysis
with 43 random primers indicated distinct RAPD bands in OPM 16,
OPC11 and OPBC 2 markers. Irrespective of districts and genotypes,
isolates collected from sunflower seed samples does not exhibit any
correlation between cultural, morphological and molecular
characters studied.
"In every city, everywhere, men and women, young and not so young,

and Janet, three very different women, who meet at a promotional
event for "Magdalena, the Mediterranean Matchmaker." Their lives
