An explosive feminist and anti-racist novel about the importance of
friendship. We don’t exist in this world. Here, we are neither
Germans nor refugees, we don’t report the news and we aren’t
the experts. We’re some sort of wildcard. Hani, Kasih, and Saya
have shared a deep friendship ever since they were kids. After
years apart, the three young women meet again for a few days, to
pick up where they left off. But regardless of what they have
achieved, it becomes clear, again and again, that they can’t
escape the racism that accompanies their daily lives: the glances,
the chatter, the hatred, and the outright rightwing terror. But
their friendship gives them stability. Until one dramatic night
shakes everything up. Sisters in Arms is a provocative,
uncompromising, and moving novel about the extraordinary alliance
between three young women and the only thing that makes a
self-determined life possible in a society that doesn’t tolerate
otherness: unconditional friendship.

"This is a genuinely scholarly work ... It is based on [analysis
of] the most up-to-date quantitative surveys that we have on adult
literacy. These surveys are the gold standard in terms of
documenting adult literacy in the United States ...The author
analyzes these extensive surveys and puts them into a theoretical
context in a way that has not been done before." - Rosemary J.
Park, University of Minnesota "I don't know of any book providing
the same information. There is a shortage of literature in this
area and the book is an excellent contribution." - Dolores Perin,
Teachers College, Columbia University "The contribution of the
theory is important - not only to adult literacy but to our
understanding of the reading process at nearly every level ...
Additionally, the application of multidimensional item response
modeling to the new TTR theory offers a tantalizing view of how the
predictive validity of a theory might be tested and used to provide
practical results." - Larry Mikulecky, Indiana University Very
often, individual differences in literacy performance are
understood exclusively in terms of the characteristics of the
reader. Drawing on a rich array of empirical research, the author
presents a detailed and highly integrative new theory of functional
literacy. The text-task-respondent (TTR) theory of functional
literacy offers improved understanding of how successful
performance on everyday literacy tasks involves a dynamic
relationship among the text, the task, and the reader. This book
will appeal primarily to assessment developers who wish to select
tasks and texts of varying difficulty to yield more precise
estimates of adult literacy; to researchers who study cognitive,
linguistic, and discourse processes; and to teachers who want to
find new ways to increase text comprehension among students,
including English language learners and struggling readers. The
text is appropriate for an advanced course in adult education,
discourse analysis, educational measurement, educational
psychology, literacy, or linguistics - or as a reference work for
those interested in literacy.
This book introduces Casual Agency Theory as a framework for
defining self-determination and describing its development and
essential characteristics. It synthesizes the research on promoting
and enhancing self-determination and explores implications for
practice in a disability context across the life course. The book
also highlights future directions for theory, research, and
practice in areas of positive psychology and disability. Â Key
areas of coverage include: Theoretical basis of the development of
self-determination as well as research findings and implications
for practice across the life course. Issues relating to the
implementation of evidence-based practices to promote
self-determination in a disability context. Potential strategies
for overcoming barriers to self-determination through
research-based practices. Future directions for further integrating
Casual Agency Theory into positive psychology interventions and the
systems of supports in the disability field. Self-Determination and
Causal Agency Theory is an essential resource for researchers,
professors, and graduate students as well as clinicians,
therapists, and other professionals in the fields of developmental
and positive psychology, educational policy and practice, special
education, social work, occupational, speech, and language therapy,
public health, and healthcare policy.

Femxphotographers.org's second publication Mind Over Matter focuses
inward. Women's bodies are frequently sexualized while their minds
are vilified and their voices silenced. This is true throughout
history and in different cultures worldwide. A book about female
vision, the power of the mind, as well as dreams and fantasies,
logic and intuition, Mind Over Matter is an exploration of inner
strength, courage, determination, willpower, and support in complex
and individual series. Edited by Roula Seikalyi and with
contributions by photographers from the team as well as many guest
artists and writers, the publication has the character of an
illustrated reader.
Das Buch befasst sich mit dem Prozess der Wiedererfindung der
deutschen Nation nach dem Nationalsozialismus. Der Blick richtet
sich dabei auf die Parteien (bes. CDU/CSU und SPD) in der fruhen
Bundesrepublik, vor allem wahrend der Ara Adenauer (1949-1963), und
auf die von ihnen im Deutschen Bundestag ausgetragenen zentralen
Kontroversen uber die Westintegration/europaische Integration der
Bundesrepublik, das Verhaltnis zur DDR und zur Oder-Neisse-Grenze
sowie den Umgang mit der NS-Vergangenheit. Verfolgt wird anhand
dessen, welche verschiedenen Vorstellungen von Nation zu damaligen
Zeit miteinander konkurrierten und wie sich in der westdeutschen
Nachkriegsgesellschaft abermals eine vorstaatliche bzw.
vorkonstitutionelle, d. h. durch vermeintlich objektive Merkmale
wie Herkunft, Geschichte und Kultur bestimmte Vorstellung von der
deutschen Nation gegenuber einer staatsbezogenen, die Nation als
subjektiv konstituierte politische Willensgemeinschaft verstehenden
Vorstellung durchsetzen konnte."
The foods that I present in this book are based on the national
recipes from Tehran, the capital of Iran, as well as some favorite
foods from other cities. Many of these recipes are suitable for
vegetarians and many of the nonvegetarian recipes can be adapted by
leaving out the meat.
