Book excerpt: Playing Favorites examines the ways in which gifted education disrupts the classroom community, deskills regular classroom teachers, limits their ability and willingness to meet individual needs, and impairs the creation of a climate of inclusion and acceptance of difference. Sapon-Shevin shows here that current models of gifted education are elitist and meritocratic, treating some children, not just differently than others, but better; and that in large urban districts, gifted education programs are often racist as well. By creating and funding gifted programs, the author contends, schools engage in a form of "educational triage," serving those children for whom inadequate programming and educational failure would not be acceptable while maintaining the status quo for the majority of the school population. This book provides support for teachers, parents, and administrators who have found themselves caught in the struggle of insuring an appropriate education for some children without sacrificing the good of all. Incorporating the words of teachers, parents, and students, as well as related research and theory, this book analyzes the relationship between diversity, community, and social justice. Sapon-Shevin challenges the reader to reconsider ways in which schools can meet individual educational needs while preserving communities of learners as well as the commitment to the education of all children. Finally, the book extends the challenge and assurance that we need not choose between quality education for some and mediocre education for all.

Book excerpt: Twelve miles outside Pittsburgh, down the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad tracks toward the old train station, is a local treasure: the town of Coraopolis. The gems of the community are the people, whose simple lifestyle and persevering spirits show their impressive ability to adapt over the years. Originally a grant of land consisting of 300 acres, the area was given to early settlers as a gift in the name of peace and thankfulness. In 1886, the community officially became a borough, and the town of Coraopolis was born. Coraopolis features 100 years of history, documenting the community's experiences, including the great flood of 1936, celebrations and triumphs, social clubs and classic sporting events, and the days of Consolidated Glass. These memories clearly demonstrate the integrity of this admired community.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1954, in West Shawmut, Alabama, it was a kinder, gentler, and more peaceful time in life and society. Gas was twenty-two cents a gallon. This is a community memoir chronicling, detailing, and reflecting upon some of those memorable events, experiences, and adventures of youthful yesterdays. West Shawmut, Alabama is a nondescript small town and quaint, folksy community nestled in southeastern sweet home Alabama, not even a dot on the Alabama map. But it is a village haven of genuine love, hope, dreams, and aspirations for its perhaps one thousand inhabitants. Its not too far from the West Point, Georgia, Kia Automotive Plant, a hoot, holler, and a skip from Valley, Alabama. Submerged in the heart of the backwoods of Chambers County right across the Georgia/Alabama boundary line and the Chattahoochee River resides the West Shawmut community. In Spite of! is a time-captured portrait of humble beginnings transformed to hardworking determination, overcoming impoverished circumstances with academic achievement, and overturning obstacles by divine intervention and fate. Kerry The Hawk Meadows transports the reader to a kinder, gentler, and more peaceful time in life to a quiet, leave-your-door-open community of neighborly down-home, homegrown, genuine, sit-on-the-front-porch, yall-sit-a-spell, real folks. The detailed imagery is steeped in thoughtful homespun language and old-school relics as old as rabbit-ear antennae wrapped in aluminum foil, outhouses, and eight-track cassette tapes.

Book excerpt: In the beginning of creation, the world was built on the foundation of The Divine Law of Maat/Kongo, as known by The Great Nile Valley Civilization. This Divine Law gave birth to everything we have today . "I-Vine Spheres" is a book that can help children and adults alike to begin to explore the accurate science of Creation and the complex anatomy of the Whole Spirit (Hidden Life Force/Energy/Vibes). 'I' relates to the Self (Source/Indwelling Divinity/Omnipresent/One Being/Conscience/World Soul/InI). The 'Vine' refers to the interconnection, inter-relation and inter-dependance of all things as fixed by nature within the beautiful cultivation of The I-Vine Spheres of Life. Many religions tell us we are like (made in the image of) The Almighty, but fail to fully explain/simplify what these likenesses are. This Book will show you and your children the 11 aspects of Being which are 'God/Christ like'. This book will outline a simple version of the I-Vine Spheres of Life; Paut Neteru (Cake of the Gods); Enead. The colors given to each sphere are the actual colors relating to that aspect of being or faculty of the spirit. Your children will be able to enrich and spark their inner Self, and gain connection of colors in the mind. Their are activities in this book, and your child will intuitively share with you the colors or activities they favor mostly, and allow you to learn more of your children. The Spirit is a body of Laws governing both the seen (its denser form) and unseen (less dense forms) phenomena. This I-Vine Spheres book will outline the main 11 Laws of the Spirit, and also provide a solid knowledge base and substantial food for the growth/development of impressionable minds. As well as minds that need substantial food to be successful holistically. Throughout all history and time, Afrikan people have used this reality to develop rites of passages (to know self), governments and technology. Principles, morals and astrologicial/cosmic knowledge is transferred via story telling in The Afrikan oral, visual and written traditions. This is the very foundation of the laws/institutes that continue to govern civil societies to this day. In the same way the well known '42 declarations of Maat' were practical expressions/statements/affirmations derived from the 11 main laws of our Being. We could now do better with exemplifying and teaching Divine Law/I-Vine Law, for the redemption and salvation of all people. It proven difficult for soldiers, linguistics and museum curators to explain ancient teachings/concepts of the Kamau (Ancient Egyptian) Sages, Fari (Pharaohs'), Priests, astrologers and prophets. It has been difficult for them to know what the sacred scriptures meant to the great ancient authors of the Afrikan Tradition. Misinterpretation and poor understandings come from numerous invasions, looting and the deliberate destruction of monuments. This book is corrective of such errors in interpretations about the meanings of the sacred sciences of the Whole Spirit/Vibes/Hidden Life Force. This book was inspired by a Rastafari/reggae song called '11 Laws of Maat' recorded by the author under the name Blessed Barak*. Therefore this book has strong elements of Xaymacan (Jamaica) patious and the author has thoughtfully included a dictionary in the book for those who are not so familiar with it. He is quite proud to be able to give a patious reading book to the many children of the Afrikan diaspora who have been carried beyond. Also, due to the globalisation of the Rastafari way of Life, many people of other cultures can enjoy hearing and reading the patious and Rastafari Language. *A complimentary free audio download of the song is available by e-mailing [email protected] (offer ends Feb 2013)

Book excerpt: In most of Ben’s experiences, the humble Southern chefs share their long protected family recipes but it’s not an adventure if everyone cooperates. Some of these institutions guard their recipes like members of the family. To the untrained eater, the secret ingredients it takes to create such an iconic dish would remain a bewitching mystery without the original formula. However, Ben’s journey and mission is to deliver the most amazing 100 Southern recipes in Southern Routes. With his charm and ability in the kitchen, award-winning chef, author, and Food Network host Ben Vaughn acquired each recipe–one way or another. If he was unable to get the recipe directly from the source, Ben replicated it himself, only having tasted the dish. After deciphering the exact mix of ingredients, his recipe was put to the test when the recipe gatekeeper gave him the thumbs up. Southern Routes highlights iconic Southern kitchens all throughout the Delta such as… Mat & Naddies and Carlos and Rocky’s in New Orleans; Our Way Café in Decatur, Georgia; McMel’s, City Café, Dipsy Doodle, and Wendell Smith’s Restaurant in Tennessee; and Martha’s Menu in Mississippi This book is more than a recipe book but instead a soulful, informative ride through the most delicious parts of America. Experience the real recipes, real people, and real stories as Ben journeys through the South exploring Southern Routes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, based on fieldwork spanning a decade, gives a comprehensive analysis of the musical life of a unique Polynesian community whose geographical isolation, together with a local ban on missionaries and churches, combine to allow its 600 members to maintain a level of traditional cultural practices unique to the region. Takü is arguably the only location where traditional Polynesian religion continues to be practiced. This book explores the many ways in which spirit activities impact on both domestic and ritual life, how group singing and dancing give audible and visible expression to a variety of religious beliefs, and how spirit mediums relay songs and dances from the recent dead. Takü’s community is well able to articulate the significance of their own strong performance tradition, and this book allows expert singers and dancers to speak passionately for themselves on subjects they understand intimately. Musical ethnographies from the Pacific are rare. Like Moyle’s earlier landmark volumes on Samoan and Tongan music, and also his trilogy on Australian Aboriginal music, this work will be of immense value to Pacific studies and will assume a place among the recognized staples of ethnomusicological research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to recent research, our brains prefer the path of least resistance when it comes to engaging people who are unlike us—in fact, our brains tell us to perceive anyone different than us as a threat. That is a nice way to say that, despite our best intentions, we all have our prejudices and preferences. In biblical terms, we show partiality toward people who resemble us; we play favorites. Much of our identity, community, and power are established by the measurement of our differences from others, justifying our need to categorize people. Even when we attempt to engage other races and cultures, we see it as a one-way bridge, taking our way of life across the river to enlighten those different than us. It assumes we are on the bank of the undistorted view of the world and our understanding of the other side is not important. The proper response is to encourage two-way traffic on the bridge, not only by having dialogue with people over the bridge but more importantly listening to them. Overcoming our prejudices and bridging the cultural divide is the result of living out the gospel and it is the most significant way to communicate the gospel.
