Download or read book Aesop s Fables Redux written by Aesop and published by . This book was released on 2011-04-08 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A modern retelling of 16 of the classic Aesop's Fables.We're all familiar with these simple tales. These stories, and others like them, form the framework upon which we endlessly spin new versions and variations.It occurred to us that while the fables in and of themselves served well as moral teaching guides, they didn't exactly pop and snap off the page. They lacked the whiz-bang pizzazz, the candy-coated energy explosion that informs our pop culture. We were just the editing team to take these old animal tales and drag them, kicking and screaming, into a supercharged 21st century mentality. With that in mind, we present Aesop's Fables Redux, a spirited reimagining of some of the classic tales. Where it felt right, we stayed true to the original; the characters are still animals, for instance. And the basic mechanics of the stories remain intact, but with some gentle updating and modernization.To invite comparasion, we've included the George Fyler Townsend translations on the left side of each spread for easy reference. It's interesting to note that Townsend added the morals to the stories in his translation; even he couldn't resist a little value added content!And a very special thanks to our friend Aesop.The Reduxulators

Download or read book Education Redux written by Eli Fishman and published by IAP. This book was released on 2010-02-01 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education Redux is a timely and incisive work answering the myriad of questions about the future of America. It is a general interest book of particular consequence to the current political and education debate. The U.S. is facing a surfeit of crises—social, political, economic and environmental. These challenges continue to be met with traditional shortterm, feel-good, snake oil remedies. None of these actions begin to address the real structural problems in the U.S. economy or in its schools. Education Redux examines the evolution of our economic despair. The popular perception is that the definitive cure is better education. There is a problem. K-12 schools do not work. Per student spending, on a constant dollar basis, is up 600% over the past few decades. Yet, standardized test scores remain flat. The proposed solutions never change—more money, better teacher performance, more parental involvement. Researchers dependably provide nothing more than minor variations on these themes, reiterating hackneyed predicaments and fixes. The school problem is essentially twofold. First, school curriculum and instructional design are incompatible with the predisposition of the New Kids (Millennial cohort). Second, schools are perceived by students as not relevant. Education professionals treat schools as though they operate in a vacuum, which is a lethal error. School reform agendas have to be responsive to students within the context of social and economic realities. The loss of gainful employment opportunities in our economy is directly related to the dismantling of the American manufacturing sector. The restoration of a 21st century manufacturing economy is predicated on our ability to infuse young people with the technical and entrepreneurial skills necessary to pursue productive careers. For the New Kids, video games define their reality. Games are based on skill, not following orders. Education Redux offers an operational guide, predicated on the use of up-to-date video game technology, for making schools both relevant and enjoyable. The requirement for individual expression and building a community through the development of group skills can be attained using a program called the e-OneRoom Schoolhouse. Education Redux is the product of comprehensive research by the author, who has extensive formal training and experience in manufacturing, finance, teaching and community affairs. The book answers questions most people are afraid to ask.

Download or read book Longfellow Redux written by Christoph Irmscher and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Longfellow turns 200 in 2007, and the time has come to take another look at the most popular poet America has ever produced. Christoph Irmscher's new book dispenses with the modern prejudice against Longfellow as the mere purveyor of literary comfort food. By examining Longfellow's unpublished papers alongside letters written by his fans at home and abroad, Irmscher offers a view of the poet's intense connection with his audience. In chapters about Longfellow's idea of authorship, his travels, and his translations, Irmscher shows that the cosmopolitan Longfellow saw literature as a transnational conversation that also crosses social and linguistic boundaries." "Longfellow Redux is the first book-length study in several decades to cover Longfellow's entire body of work and its many contexts (personal, social, literary, and historical). It contains numerous illustrations, including previously unpublished pencil sketches by Longfellow himself."--BOOK JACKET.

Download or read book Aesop s Fables Deluxe Library Binding written by Aesop and published by Royal Classics. This book was released on 2020-11-22 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this collection of over three hundred fables, Aesop masterfully unravels the morals behind every action in human nature. Included are the favouries "The Shepherd-Boy and the Wolf," "The Tortoise and the Hare," and "The Dog and the Shadow." These time-honoured morals teach children that persuasion is better than force, slow but steady wins the race, and to look before you leap. A fable is often thought of as a story intended to help children learn wholesome values and how to behave within society at large. However, in ancient Greece, fables were used as a means of persuasion, as the moral of a fable can be delivered in an indirect manner. This helped philosophers such as Plato, Aristophanes, and Socrates argue controversial points without offending their audience.
