This book provides scholars, educators, and legislators with a
personal, classroom-level tour of daily life at a community
college. Readers will accompany the author into the classroom as he
goes about his work as an English teacher meeting with classes and
corresponding with students on Blackboard and e-mail. Answering the
call for "student-centered scholarship," this book blends
traditional academic writing with chapters that feature a rich
variety of student work, including essays, journal entries, poems,
art, and responses to creative assignments. In this volume,
Sullivan theorizes the modern community college as a social justice
institution. By mission and mandate, the modern community college
has democratized America's system of higher education and
distributed hope, equity, and opportunity more broadly across the
nation.

This book aims to deepen public understanding of the community
college and to challenge our longstanding reliance on a deficit
model for defining this important, powerful, and transformative
institution. Featuring a unique combination of data and research,
Sullivan seeks to help redefine, update, and reshape public
perception about community colleges. This book gives serious
attention to student voices, and includes narratives written by
community college students about their experiences attending
college at an open admissions institution. Sullivan examines the
history of the modern community college and the economic model that
is driving much of the current discussion in higher education
today. Sullivan argues that the community college has done much to
promote social justice and economic equality in America since the
founding of the modern community college in 1947 by the Truman
Commission.
We have developed this volume, Deep Reading, Deep Learning, as a
companion to our 2017 NCTE book, Deep Reading: Teaching Reading in
the Writing Classroom, which received the CCCC Outstanding Book
Award in 2019 for Best Edited Collection. In this volume we address
a range of social, ethical, and pedagogical issues that have
emerged as essential concerns for teachers of reading and writing,
especially those related to identity, culture, and positionality.
This new volume emphasizes the broad question of equity and social
justice in the acquisition and practice of literacy, and the
multifaceted lived reality of positionality related to race, class,
gender, disability, and language as experienced by students in the
classroom.
Intended for classroom use, work contains 47 pages from Las Casas'
life of Columbus plus 24 other selections--Handbook of Latin
American Studies, v. 58.
Why would an alcoholic Chicago homicide detective question the
motives of a drummer from a freshly signed rock-blues band? Why
does he keep interviewing an elderly widower with dementia? What
are an identity-concealing stripper, a bisexual kleptomaniac, a
suicidal hot dog cart vendor, a Catholic priest, a well-traveled
bluesman with the world's most horrific stutter, and a leggy
bartender with a crescent-shaped scar on her pretty face hiding
from him? These are the people Detective Carter Woodbine must drink
in to solve the mystery in Mrs. O'Leary's Cow. The gumshoe searches
for answers at an Irish pub where he sifts through the grit of its
patrons and occasionally finding flecks of gold. Among his digging
for truths, he unearths enigmas buried deeply within the soil of
these people of interest, and even some of his own. But will all
the digging and dirt lead to somewhere other than his own grave?
Mrs. O'Leary's Cow is much more than a detective quest; it's a
reflection of the great city of Chicago and its people during the
two days leading up to Christmas.

Only Shoot Once: A book of action and intrigue What if you woke up
from a dream of being sent on a suicide mission, your family
murdered and made to look like an accident and you left for dead to
find out it was not a dream? Do that to a sniper and then you have
a motivated killer who will find you, put a bullet in you and
you'll never hear it coming. Get a look at the drama from the
snipers point of view without ever knowing who he is until the end.
The sniper is hounded by Detective Damon O'Brian who was looking at
the end of his career with a plan of rest, beach and fun. That is
until a string of homicides are assigned to him by the governor for
no apparent reason. Jurisdiction problems and agency involvement
smell of a hit but ordered by whom? You add South American gold and
an Inca priest into the mix and you have a mystery that leads
nowhere. "Only Shoot Once" gives a glimpse of the snipers life and
the betrayal of his country or was it someone else. The loss of his
family coupled with the betrayal of what he thinks is his
government brings him to revenge when he finds out his family was
actually murdered. Then you find this lone sniper is killing people
that have no connection or any traceable past. Detective O'Brian
has to find out who the lone sniper is and stop him. Problem is the
sniper is dead. Someone is helping in the investigation without
anyone knowing who it is. Why? In the end where O'Brian has to
decide to shot him or let him go. Clue driven with a twist or two,
the book weaves lies of family murders into treachery and betrayal,
leaving one person with the ultimate choice of the law or justice.

suspense thriller entitled Only Shoot Once.
Collecting the stories of the mysterious German spy by Michael
Patrick Sullivan. This edition features a brand new story that was
not included in its limited run in ASTONISHING ADVENTURES magazine.
WORLD WAR II: The United States is geared up for the war in Europe,
unaware that a secret plan designed and overseen by Germany's top
covert agent will soon launch death and destruction across the
entire country. When the plan's mastermind awakens in a stateside
motel room, he finds himself mysteriously robbed of his memories...
and his allegiance to the Fuhrer. Racing against the clock, the spy
who now calls himself The Auslander must piece together his own
vast conspiracy, and fight the entire German spy network that he
created - who are bent on killing him at all costs. This Pulp 2.0
collection of The Auslander's adventures features two-fisted World
War II thrillers in the pulse-pounding tradition of Ken Follett and
Alistair MacLean. "Sullivan delivers old-fashioned, pulpy adventure
with an iconic hero who's all action and no name." - Eric Heisserer

Elm Street
