Book excerpt: "A short, excellent account of [Leavitt’s] extraordinary life and achievements." —Simon Singh, New York Times Book Review George Johnson brings to life Henrietta Swan Leavitt, who found the key to the vastness of the universe—in the form of a “yardstick” suitable for measuring it. Unknown in our day, Leavitt was no more recognized in her own: despite her enormous achievement, she was employed by the Harvard Observatory as a mere number-cruncher, at a wage not dissimilar from that of workers in the nearby textile mills. Miss Leavitt’s Stars uncovers her neglected history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive listing and discussion of poetic works supports the standards of all areas of the curriculum, helping librarians and teachers working with kindergarten through middle school students. This second edition of Using Poetry Across the Curriculum: Learning to Love Language offers a comprehensive list of poetry anthologies, poetic picture books, and poetic prose works in a wide variety of subject areas. While it maintains the original edition's focus on ideas and resource lists for integration of poetry into all areas of the curriculum, it is thoroughly revised to cover current issues in education and the wealth of new poetry books available. The book is organized by subject areas commonly taught in elementary and middle schools, and, within these, by the national standards in each area. Numerous examples of poetry and poetic prose that can be used to help students understand and appreciate aspects of the standard are listed. A sampling of units that arise from groups of works, writing and performance ideas, and links across the curriculum is also included. While many teaching ideas and topics provide references to the standards they meet, this title is unique in starting with those standards and making links across them.

Book Synopsis New Under the Sun by : Melanie Landau
Download or read book New Under the Sun written by Melanie Landau and published by Black Inc.. This book was released on 2006 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Under the Sunshines a critical light on Australia's Jewish community. In a range of essays from contributors such as Robert Manne, Ruth Ostrow, Arnold Zable, Andrea Goldsmith, Dorothy Porter, John Safran, Marcus Einfeld and Julie Szego, the anthology takes a snapshot of Australia's Jewish community and analyses the issues the community faces as it moves into the twenty-first century. For many years Australia's Jewish community was defined by its post Second World War migrants. These newcomers to Australia - many of whom were Holocaust survivors - set the parameters for how the community would respond to the challenges of migration, assimilation, Zionism and antisemitism. As we enter the new century, this generation is making way for a younger group of leaders. In scholarship, religious practice, attitudes to Israel and relationships to the broader community, this new generation of Jews is finding its own way, and redefining the hallmarks of Jewish identity and experience. New Under the Sunis a provocative, challenging and important collection.

Download or read book Cloud of Bone written by Bernice Morgan and published by Vintage Canada. This book was released on 2010-07-30 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the bestselling author of Random Passage and Waiting for Time comes this masterful, engrossing story of the last surviving Beothuk, a World War II deserter and a recently widowed English woman at the end of the twentieth century. During World War II, well into the Battle of the North Atlantic, Newfoundlander Kyle Holloway deserts from the Royal Navy. Now, hidden in a cave below St. Mary’s Church, the war-haunted young man remembers years of carefree friendship and petty crime in the narrow streets of St. John’s. Starving, disoriented and tormented by his own act of betrayal, Kyle hears a low, persistent murmuring, retelling a story of distant, far-reaching betrayals. Over a century earlier, Shanawdithit, a young Beothuk girl, spends her childhood in a place she thinks of as the safe centre of the world. As she grows into young womanhood, listening to stories, sharing secrets with friends and falling in love, she slowly becomes aware that Dogmen are taking over her world. Each season, her people are forced farther inland, away from their own hunting grounds, back from the rich seal beaches. Now the only witness that the Beothuk once walked the earth, Shanawdithit is forced to endlessly repeat the story of her doomed people. In 1998, Judith and Ian Muir are in Rwanda as part of the United Nations team investigating a genocide site. A shot rings out and Ian falls dead. Overwhelmed with grief, his widow returns to England and the abandoned cottage where she grew up. There, an unusual discovery takes Judith on a quest that will inextricably connect her life to the lives of Shanawdithit and Kyle Holloway. In Cloud of Bone, three stories come together to make both an intriguing mystery and a meditation on lost innocence, brutality and the power of memory.

Book Synopsis The Hobo's Crowbar by : JonArno Lawson
Download or read book The Hobo's Crowbar written by JonArno Lawson and published by The Porcupine's Quill. This book was released on 2016-09-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The latest wacky and wonderful collection of children’s poetry, Governor General’s Award winner JonArno Lawson’s The Hobo’s Crowbar presents a world of word botchers and bird watchers, of vile versifiers and vigilante interventionists, of nobodies and somebodies, big guys and small fries. Lawson’s world is one of logic and language, of wit and words, of contradictions and conundrums, but it is also a world in which looking and learning go hand-in-hand, with laughter never far behind. The book is as fun to see as it is to say, and vibrant woodcuts by artist Alec Dempster are a perfect accompaniment to Lawson’s poems. Together, they help to expose the highs and lows of life, and celebrate goofiness, absurdity and the profound truth of human experience.
