Book excerpt: A riveting novel from the author of the critically acclaimed Learning to Swim and an Anthony Award nominee for Best Novel While she's watching the crew build the Winter Carnival ice palace, Troy Chance sees a body encased in the frozen lake—a man she recognizes as the boyfriend of one of her roommates. When she is assigned to write a feature on his life and mysterious death, Troy discovers he was the missing son of a wealthy Connecticut family. Trying to unravel what brought him to this Adirondack village, she joins forces with his girlfriend and his sister, who comes to town to find answers. But as Troy digs deeper, it’s clear someone doesn’t want the investigation to continue. And when she uncovers long-buried secrets that could shatter the serenity of the small town and many people’s lives, she’ll be forced to decide how far her own loyalties reach. “Sara J. Henry brilliantly draws us into a terrifying but ultimately affirmative novel in which love, friendship, and the shining truth about who we really are redeem an otherwise hopeless universe.” —Howard Frank Mosher, award-winning author of God’s Kingdom

Book Synopsis Lonely Places, Dangerous Ground by : Steven Rybin
Download or read book Lonely Places, Dangerous Ground written by Steven Rybin and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 2014-01-30 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The director of such classic Hollywood films as In a Lonely Place, Johnny Guitar, and Rebel Without a Cause, Nicholas Ray nevertheless remained on the margins of the American studio system throughout his career, and despite his cult status among auteurist critics and cinephiles, he has also remained at the margins of film scholarship. Lonely Places, Dangerous Ground offers twenty new essays by international film historians and critics that explore the director's place in the history of the Hollywood industry and in the larger institution of cinema, as well as a 1977 interview with Ray that has never before been published in its entirety in English. In addition to readings of Ray's most celebrated films, the book provides a range of approaches to his life and work, engaging new questions of his cinematic authorship with areas that include history and culture, politics and society, gender and sexuality, style and genre, performance, technology, and popular music. The collection also looks at Ray's lesser-known and underappreciated films, and devotes attention to the highly experimental We Can't Go Home Again, his recently restored final film made in the 1970s with his students at Binghamton University, State University of New York. Rediscovering what Ray means to contemporary film studies, the essays show how his films continue to possess a vital power for film history and criticism, and for film culture.

Thirty-year-old Helen Clarvoe is scared and all alone. The heiress of a small fortune, she is resented by her mother and, to a lesser degree, her brother. The only person who seemingly cares for her is the family’s attorney, Paul Blackshear. A shut-in, Helen maintains her residence in an upscale hotel downtown. But passive-aggressive resentment isn’t the only thing hounding Helen Clarvoe. A string of bizarre and sometimes threatening prank phone calls has upended her spinster’s routine. Increasingly threatened, she turns to a reluctant Mr. Blackshear to get to the bottom of these strange calls. Blackshear is doubtful of their seriousness but he quickly realizes that he is in the midst of something far more sinister than he thought possible. As he unravels the mystery of the calls the identity behind them slowly emerges, predatory and treacherous.

Book Synopsis Raising Sebastien by : Kah Ying Choo

Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2009 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Allgemein, Note: 1,0, Technische Universität Darmstadt (Institut für Allgemeine Pädagogik und Berufspädagogik), Veranstaltung: Seminar Reformschulen und Schulreform, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Mit der Veröffentlichung der Ergebnisse aus der ersten PISA-Studie (Programme for International Student Assessment) aus dem Jahr 2000 setzte auch in Deutschland eine Diskussion um die Leistungsfähigkeit des nationalen Bildungssystems ein. Es wurden Ursachen für das unerwartet schwache Abschneiden der deutschen Schülerinnen und Schüler gesucht. Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Forderungen sich anhand der in PISA getesteten Kompetenzen zum einen für eine mögliche Reform des deutschen Bildungssystems und zum anderen für die (Aus-) Bildung junger Menschen stellen lassen. Darüber hinaus wird zu überprüfen sein, ob die getesteten Kompetenzen tatsächlich das Erreichen eines bestimmten Bildungsniveaus sichern und somit jungen Menschen ein Wissen an die Hand gibt, um erfolgreich im (Erwerbs-) Leben bestehen zu können. Das erste Kapitel befasst sich mit den Begriffen Bildung, Schlüsselqualifikationen und Kompetenz. Hierzu werden verschiedene Konzepte und Definitionen gegenübergestellt, um letztendlich die Anforderungen einer modernen Wissensgesellschaft an ihre Menschen darstellen zu können. Das zweite Kapitel stellt die in PISA getesteten Basiskompetenzen (Lesekompetenz, Mathematische Kompetenz, Naturwissenschaftliche Kompetenz) dar. Zusätzlich wird das Konzept der Problemlösungskompetenz beispielhaft für den Bereich der Fächerübergreifenden Kompetenzen erläutert. Im letzten Kapitel der Arbeit werden Reaktionen auf PISA, Reformvorschläge für das Bildungssystem und Bewertungen der Studie gegenübergestellt. Es werden Vorschläge aufgezeigt und Kriterien erläutert, anhand derer eine Reform des deutschen Bildungssystems erfolgen könnte bzw. sollte. Das abschließende Resümee gibt einen Überblick über die gesamte Arbeit und bringt die wesentlichen Ergebnisse auf den Punkt und stellt einen Zusammenhang der verschiedenen Aspekte her.
