Hardback. Condición: Good. As a wit, Wilde lived by his own maxim: "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about." A century after he left that world, he is not only still talked about, but widely quoted. This tribute marks the centenary of his death.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. "The premise of this book is simple: that establishing the reading of books as the center of our literacy curriculum is the secret to academic achievement." --Sandra Wilde The research is unambiguous: when students read more, they read better, acquire more background knowledge, and do better on academic assessments. "Students need to read more books and to gradually move into harder books," writes Sandra Wilde in Quantity and Quality. "This isn't mere recreational reading, nor is it requiring them to read 'grade-level' books. It's getting kids reading, and making sure that readers are growing." Quantity and Qualityis ideal for study groups and whole schools. It provides doable ways to add as much reading time to your curriculum as possible. Sandra presents the compelling rationale for putting more reading into the school day, answering questions like "How much time?" "How many books?" and "How hard should the books be?" Then she gets you going with details on: creating the time, space, and inspiration for more reading matching kids with increasingly complex books working with beginning readers, ELLs, struggling readers, and reluctant readers teaching reading skills and concepts documenting readers' progress. "If students are really reading more books and pushing into harder books," writes Sandra Wilde, "they'll master the standards, acquire cultural literacy, and pass standardized tests." Read Quantity and Quality,and discover why the solution for text complexity can be surprisingly simple. Read a sample chapter from Quantity and Quality.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. The shifting meanings, from practical to tragic, associated with the structure of a barrack. The Barrack, 1572-1914 tells the little-known history of a building type that many people used to register as an alien interloper in conventionally built-up areas. The barrack is a mostly lightweight construction, a hybrid between a shack, tent, and traditional building. Easy to erect and to take down, it is--after the introduction of railways and later motor vehicles in the late 19th and early 20th centuries--also easy to transplant from one location to another. Originating as a standardized accommodation for semi-permanent military encampments in the late sixteenth century, the barrack became a mass-produced utility of military and civilian mobilization in the nineteenth century, providing immediate shelter for soldiers, prisoners, or displaced persons, as well as well-ventilated hospital wards for the sick. The barrack played a decisive role in shaping the political space of modernity. In>The Barrack, 1572-1914, Robert Jan van Pelt traces nearly 350 years of barrack history up to 1914. That year, in which the Great War broke out, proved to be a turning point in the perception of the barrack, away from pragmatic emergency shelter and towards sinister forced housing. Richly illustrated with two hundred and fifty images, van Pelt's book records the traditions of barrack design and the technological inventiveness that went into it in the late nineteenth century.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. We need quiet to feel nothing, to hear silence that brings back proportion and the beauty of not knowing except for the outlines of what we live every day. Something inner settles. The right to silence unmediated by social judgment. Sitting at a table in an empty kitchen, peeling an apple, I wait for its next transformation. For a few seconds, the red, mottled, dangling skin unwinds what happened to it on earth. Wallis Wilde-Menozzi set out to touch silence for brief experiences of what's real. In images, dreams, and actions, the challenge leads to her heart as a writer. The pages of Silence and Silences form a vast tapestry of meanings-shaped by many forces outside personal circumstance. Moving closer, the reader notices intricacies that shift when touched. As the writer steps aside, there is cosmic joy, biological truth, historical injustice. Women's voices and women's silences; Agnes Martin's thin, fine lines and D. H. Lawrence's artful letters; an active engagement with personal memories as the self changes over time. COVID-19 thrusts itself into the unbounded narrative, and isolation brings with it a new kind of stillness. As Wilde-Menozzi writes, "Reading a book is a way of withdrawing into silence. It is a way of seeing and listening, of pulling back from what is happening at that very moment." The author has created a record of how we tell ourselves stories, how we think and how we know. Above all, she has made silence itself a presence on the page and has given the reader space to find that silence in surprising ways.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Jonathan Marksbury, the Duke of Sutcliffe, has never wanted the title or its attendant responsibilities. His wish is granted when he wakes in Chelsea Hospital after the Battle of Waterloo without even the memory of his first name. The highlights of his days and nights as he recovers are the brief visits of his beautiful nurse. Feelings grow, and they give in to the temptations of the flesh before parting ways, seemingly forever. Anne Heatherington has never desired the attentions of a man before that night in the hospital.

"Theory of mind" is the phrase researchers use to refer to children's understanding of people as mental beings, who have beliefs, desires, emotions, and intentions, and whose actions and interactions can be interpreted and explained by taking account of these mental states. The gradual development of children's theory of mind, particularly during the early years, is by now well described in the research literature. What is lacking, however, is a decisive explanation of how children acquire this understanding. Recent research has shown strong relations between children's linguistic abilities and their theory of mind. Yet exactly what role these abilities play is controversial and uncertain. The purpose of this book is to provide a forum for the leading scholars in the field to explore thoroughly the role of language in the development of the theory of mind. This volume will appeal to students and researchers in developmental and cognitive psychology.…
