Born with facial differences that, up until now, have prevented him from going to a mainstream school, Auggie Pullman becomes the most unlikely of heroes when he enters the local fifth grade.
As his family, his new classmates, and the larger community all struggle to find their compassion and acceptance, Auggie's extraordinary journey will unite them all and prove you can't blend in when you were born to stand out.
This wonderful family film is based on the bestselling children's novel by R. J. Palacio.
This book explores the various ways in which individuals use music
and culture to understand and respond to changes in their natural
and built environments. Drawing on over 15 years of ethnographic
fieldwork, interviews, and participant observation, the author
develops the thesis that the relationships, networks, and intimate
forms of social interaction in the "portable" community cultivated
at bluegrass festival events are significant cultural formations
that shape participants' relationships to their localities. With
specific attention to the ways in which the strength of these
relationships are translated into meaningful sites of community
identity, place, and action following devastating local floods that
destroyed homes and businesses, displacing residents for years, The
Portable Community: Place and Displacement in Bluegrass Festival
Life sheds light on the strength of such communities when tested
and under external threat. A study of the central role of arts and
music in grappling with social and environmental change, including
their role in facilitating disaster relief and recovery, this
volume will appeal to scholars of sociology with interests in
symbolic interactionism, the sociology of music, culture, and the
sociology of disaster.
For college students in courses with the same topic in
communication disorders, psychology, and education. A best-selling,
comprehensive, easy-to-understand introduction to language
development. This best-selling introduction to language development
text offers a cohesive, easy-to-understand overview of all aspects
of the subject, from syntax, morphology, and semantics, to
phonology and pragmatics. Each idea and concept is explained in a
way that is clear to even beginning students and then reinforced
with outstanding pedagogical aids such as discussion questions,
chapter objectives, reflections, and main point boxed features. The
book looks at how children learn to communicate in general and in
English specifically, while emphasising individual patterns of
communication development. The 9th Edition continues the
distribution of bilingual and dialectal development throughout the
text; expands the discussion of children from lower-SES families,
including those living in homeless shelters; makes substantial
improvements in the organisation and clarity of Chapter 4 on
cognition and its relationship to speech and language; consolidates
information on Theory of Mind in one chapter; improves readability
throughout with more thorough explanations, simplification of
terms, and increased use of headings and bullets; weeds out
redundancies and asides to help streamline the reading; provides
more child language examples throughout; and thoroughly updates the
research, including the addition of several hundred new references.

The aim of those who created the International Bomber Command
Centre (IBCC) was clear - to provide a world-class facility to
serve as a point for recognition, remembrance and reconciliation
for Bomber Command. In 2018 that aim was achieved. 'Our Story, Your
History - The International Bomber Command Centre' details the
story behind the IBCC, the people who came up with the initial idea
and the extraordinary dedication and creativity that made the
project a reality. The IBCC's Mark Dodds tells the remarkable story
of how the concept arose, the various design and construction
phases, the remarkable efforts to raise the necessary funds, and
the cutting-edge development of the comprehensive losses database
and digital archive. Dr Robert Owen provides a military history of
Bomber Command from the first operational flight, less than an hour
after war was declared against Germany in September 1939, to the
end of hostilities five years and eight months later in May 1945.
Historian and author Steve Darlow tells the human story of the
aircrews who flew and fought in the skies above Germany and the
Nazi occupied territories, drawing on numerous first-hand accounts
from veterans. Dr Dan Ellin provides an insight in to the
experiences of the male and female ground personnel who served with
the Command, and author Sean Feast details the tragic stories
behind the loss of specific crews, all of whom are remembered on
the IBCC's Wall of Names. Illustrated throughout with images
showing the development of the project and wartime pictures of
those whose memory is central to the project, 'Our Story, Your
History' is a fitting reminder to current and future generations of
the commitment and sacrifice associated with the men and women,
from 62 different nations, who came together in Bomber Command
during the Second World War.
In his early works Owen argues that, since individuals are wholly
formed by their environment, education is the crucial factor in
transforming them. Later he came to adopt far more radical
positions, proposing nothing less than 'the emancipation ofmankind'
and the creation of a 'new moral world', a full-scale
reorganization of British society, major reforms of working
practices and the Poor Laws and the establishment of co-operative
model.
