The notion of resistance resides as a deep-seated premise underpinning the democratic foundation of the United States. Given the distinctive standing of public education in the U.S., this book explores the multiple roles - and numerous contexts - that resistance plays in contemporary educational settings. Resistance in education creates, or reflects, the multiple counter-discourses that arise to challenge the one or more dominant discourses in any given educational setting. There is potency in the plurality of the varied and sometimes controversial arguments provided by each essay in this volume, which should be read by everyone interested in the concept within the framework of education today.

Confessions of a Guardian Angel is a compilation of thrilling short stories from author David M. Humphrey Sr. All the stories revolve around the very real theme of Spiritual Warfare. The story titles are: Confessions of a Guardian Angel - An Angel of God comes to the rescue of a besieged young man under Demonic Attack, but in the midst thereof has a confession that he feels compelled to make to the young soul he guards... Keys... A curious young Reporter conducts an interview unlike any he's ever had before, with the most Evil Entity known to man. And the interview could very well be, his last... Cain... Remember Cain of the Bible, who killed his brother Abel? And for that he was cursed. Ever wonder what that curse was exactly? Because the Bible doesn't say. Suppose that curse was that Cain would live for eternity, forever haunted by the memory of what he did, and permanently scarred with the knowledge that it was he that had opened the door to violence and murder in the Earth... Hooves... Two old friends from Seminary meet after many years for a friendly game of Chess. One is now a millionaire, the other, a Catholic Priest. The challenge across the Chess board is nothing compared to the challenge that brews in the darkness that will cost one of these men his very soul... Doomed... A Fallen Angel finds himself in the most unpleasant and unlikely place-caught in the middle of his Evil Works when the Second Coming of the Lord occurs... David's previous published works are 'Dark Things...' an inspirational supernatural thriller, and 'The Warrior's Agenda Combat Study' a 'How-to' Manual for Effective Spiritual Warfare.

This book contains the collected works of A. Adrian Albert, a leading algebraist of the twentieth century. Albert made many important contributions to the theory of the Brauer group and central simple algebras, Riemann matrices, nonassociative algebras, and other topics. Part 1 focuses on associative algebras and Riemann matrices, and Part 2 on nonassociative algebras and miscellany. Because much of Albert's work remains of vital interest in contemporary research, this volume will interest mathematicians in a variety of areas.

"I did not kill my father, but sometimes I felt I had helped him on his way. And but for the fact that it coincided with a landmark in my own physical growth, his death seemed insignificant compared with what followed. I am only including the little story of his death to explain how my sisters and I came to have such a large quantity of cement at our disposal." In the relentless summer heat, four children retreat into an isolated world left to them by their parents and attempt to create their own version of a family. Ian McEwan's first novel, The Cement Garden, written in 1978, explores coming-of-age, burgeoning sexuality and the distortions of a fourteen-year-old mind. David Aula and Jimmy Osborne's stage adaptation approaches the horror of the story through the innocent eyes of children, and encourages an audience to remember the games, irreverence, and shadows of their youth: to remember and reinvent their sense of invincibility. The Cement Garden received its world premiere as part of Vault Festival Waterloo, on 28 January 2014.
