This volume highlights approaches to closing the achievement gap
for students of color across K-12 and post-secondary schooling. It
uniquely examines factors outside the classroom to consider how
these influence student identity and academic performance. Teaching
to Close the Achievement Gap for Students of Color offers
wide-ranging chapters that explore non-curricular issues including
trauma, family background, restorative justice, refugee

informal educational opportunities and overcome intersectional
barriers to success. In particular, chapters highlight how these
approaches can be nurtured through teacher education, effective
educational leadership, and engagement across the wider community.
This insightful collection will be of interest to researchers,
scholars, and post-graduate students in the fields of teacher
education, sociology of education, and educational leadership.

Has Dr Felix Culpepper, freelance assassin to the British
Establishment, finally met his match? Few other Cambridge Fellows
have quite Felix's experience of life, or of death. Now he takes a
break from his unofficial role as assassin of choice to the British
Establishment to right some wrongs and eliminate some rival killers
on his own account. From New York to Venice, he cheerfully takes on
the international aristocracy of murder. But then, amid the
fragrant mellowness of England's heartwoods, he faces a more
disturbing - and violent - moral dilemma than ever before.
The second part of the misdemeanours of Dr Felix Culpepper. When
there are high crimes to be covered up, mysteries to be wrapped up
in enigmas, or a murderer to be liquidated - literally - there is
only one man in England who can be trusted with the task: Felix
Culpepper, tutor in Classics at St Wygfortis College, Cambridge,
and assassin-at-large for the British Establishment. From the eerie
deserts of New Mexico to the high-rolling hotels of the Adriatic,
Culpepper moves with consummate ease and an unexpected penchant for
guns, drugs and esoteric methods of murder - all to save himself
from the drudgery of cramming Latin into the privileged yet empty
skulls of the dregs of Britain's aristocracy. With an intellectual
vanity that rivals Holmes, more self-esteem than Bond and a
blood-steeped amorality that out-Ripleys Hannibal Lector, Culpepper
is the ideal hero for our debased days. And only in his student,
side-kick (and pending Nemesis) Margot ffontaines, does he meet his
match. Parricide follows Quintember.

One of the greatest challenges military commanders face in the
planning and execution of warfare is minimizing the fog of war.
That gray area in which there is a knowledge gap of what the
adversary is going to do at a given time or place, or how
ones#65533; own forces will react to a given scenario during a
campaign. The great military strategist Carl Von Clausewitz, in his
work On War, described this phenomenon as an uncertainty that is
present in three quarters of the factors on which action in war is
based, and as such results in war being a realm of chances. In an
effort to mitigate this uncertainty, commanders have historically
relied on intelligence collection as one of the primary means for
establishing better battlefield situation awareness.

Behind the mask of "cool"--a clear-eyed look at how African
American inner-city youths defend themselves against the
indignities, inequities, and injuries of ghetto life--a pose that
leads to the real alienation of these young men from both the white
world and their own communities.
