The tragic story of Susan Powell and her murdered boys, Charlie and
Braden, is the only case that rivals the John Benet Ramsey saga in
the annals of true crime. When a pretty, blonde Utah mother went
missing in December of 2009 the media was swept up in the story.
Susan's husband, Josh, said he had no idea what happened to his
young wife, and that he and the boys had been camping. Over the
next three years bombshell by bombshell, the story would reveal
more shocking secrets, Josh's father, Steve, who was sexually
obsessed with Susan, would ultimately be convicted of unspeakable
perversion. Josh's brother, Michael, would commit suicide. And in
the most stunning event of them all, Josh Powell would murder his
two little boys and kill himself with brutality beyond belief.
This book is about research- and evidence-informed educational
improvement. It synthesises and reframes the distinct schools of
thought within the Educational Effectiveness and Improvement (EEI)
fields for a renewed research and professional education agenda. At
the book's heart is a problem: that educational improvement is
often short-lived, rarely achieved at scale and, as some prominent
researchers have argued, mostly illusory. The chapters describe and
critique this divided field and reviews, synthesises and reframes
the combined knowledge base. Building on this acknowledge of
division, the book looks with scepticism, pragmatism and optimism
towards the future for solutions in evidence-informed improvement.

Bringing together children's literature scholars from China and the
United States, this collection provides an introduction to the
scope and goals of a field characterized by active but also
distinctive scholarship in two countries with very different
rhetorical traditions. The volume's five sections highlight the
differences between and overlapping concerns of Chinese and
American scholars, as they examine children's literature with
respect to cultural metaphors and motifs, historical movements,
authorship, didacticism, important themes, and the current status
of and future directions for literature and criticism. Wide-ranging
and admirably ambitious in its encouragement of communication
between scholars from two major nations, Representing Children in
Chinese and U.S. Children's Literature serves as a model for
examining how and why children's literature, more than many
literary forms, circulates internationally.

The Pacific Northwest is home to the world's most famous serial
killers, as well as more than its share of parents who kill their
children, teenagers who kill their parents, women who marry for
money, naughty teachers, America's first female serial killer, and
even a few who are wrongly imprisoned. New York Times bestselling
author Gregg Olsen ("If Loving You Is Wrong," "Starvation Heights")
and veteran journalist Rebecca Morris ("Ted and Ann - The Mystery
of a Missing Child and Her Neighbor Ted Bundy"), take a new look at
the Northwest's most notorious crimes. Many of them made history.
Two - Ted Bundy's killings and Mary Kay Letourneau's teacher sex
scandal - made Time magazine's list of the top crimes of the 20th
century. Some are lesser known or have taken on new importance,
such as one of the country's first school shootings, in Moses Lake,
Washington. Cases include: Washington Barry Loukaitis - Before
Sandy Hook and Columbine, there was Frontier Middle School in Moses
Lake, Washington. Rosalina Misina Mendoza Dugeno Manthie Edmondson
- She had many last names as she married and killed one husband
after another. Ruth Neslund - Her husband thought captaining a huge
freighter right into the West Seattle Bridge was the worst that
could happen to him. It wasn't. Mary Kay LeTourneau - She said they
were "soul mates." He made a bet with another student that he would
sleep with her. Ted Bundy - There's only one "Ted" and he remains a
part of our lives. Now we've learned more about his. Kenneth
Bianchi - Los Angeles' most terrifying murders were finally solved
1,200 miles north in Bellingham, Washington. With a bonus essay by
Washington native Gregg Olsen on growing up in the shadow of serial
killers Ted Bundy, Gary Ridgway, and Robert Lee Yates, Jr. Oregon
Angela McAnulty - The mother tortured her teenage daughter until it
was too late to save her. Kyron Horman - The boy with the toothy
grin disappeared June 4, 2010. Why hasn't his step-mother been
charged? Jeannace Freeman and Gertrude Jackson - Central Oregon was
as shocked by their lesbian affair as it was by the murder of
Jackson's two children. Christian Longo - He failed in his own
life, so he killed his family and assumed someone else's. With two
bonus essays, one by Rebecca Morris about coming of age in Oregon
as serial killers trolled I-5, and one about Gregg Olsen's "date"
with Oregon's most notorious murderer, Diane Downs. Idaho Shasta
Groene - the brave little girl was the only survivor of a random
murder and kidnapping in Coeur d'Alene. Jeralee Underwood - the
eleven-year-old had the bad luck to meet a ruthless killer as she
performed her favorite task of the day, delivering newspapers to
her Pocatello neighborhood. Robin Row - the only woman on Idaho's
Death Row, she set fires that killed her children soon after buying
life insurance on them. Angie Dodge - Carol Dodge grieved her
daughter's murder for years, until she became convinced the police
had coerced a confession and convicted the wrong man. Now she's
working for Christopher Tapp's release. Lyda Trueblood - America's
first female serial killer liked to bake apple pies. She sprinkled
in a secret ingredient - arsenic. Sarah Johnson - The teenager with
the blonde ponytail shot her parents with a rifle, then hid her
blood-spattered pink bathrobe in the family garbage. With a bonus
essay from Olsen, author of the 2005 Idaho Book of the Year, The
Deep Dark - Disaster and Redemption in America's Richest Silver
Mine.
New Edition. The gripping story of one of the the most fascinating
cold cases of the 20th century - Was eight-year-old Ann Marie Burr
serial killer Ted Bundy's first victim? She disappeared from their
Tacoma, Washington neighborhood early on a summer morning in 1961.
Her body was never found, there were no clues, no ransom demand and
no arrest. Was Bundy telling the truth when he told a hypothetical
story about killing Ann and dumping her into a muddy pit? With new
information about Ted Bundy's childhood, interviews with those who
knew him best, and the memories of the Burr family, "Ted and Ann -
The Mystery of a Missing Child and Her Neighbor Ted Bundy," has
been called "an astonishing achievement" (Gregg Olsen) and
"fascinating" (Ann Rule). This is no ordinary true crime book and
belongs on a shelf with the non-fiction works of Erik Larson, Jon
Krakauer, David Grann, and Simon Baatz.
Thesis (M.A.) from the year 2007 in the subject Archaeology, grade:
63%, University of Leicester, language: English, abstract: Only
recently has the study of ochre use in mortuary contexts by
prehistoric groups taken a key place in archaeological research.
Most often, this research has primarily taken the form of debates
over ochre's purpose and significance among these people. To date,
no study has researched the extent of Pre-Contact mortuary ochre
use in North America or the cultural characteristics common among
its practitioners. This study seeks to establish patterns of
commonality based on a comparison of ten North American prehistoric
groups whose mortuary ochre use is well-documented. Using a
criterion of eight cultural traits that are common indicators of
cultural complexity, the study examines the hypothesis that the use
of ochre in burials was more commonly found in complex societies.
The results, although inconclusive in determining the viability of
the hypothesis, indicate patterns of cultural commonality and help
to define the spatial and temporal distribution of those groups who
used ochre in mortuary contexts.
