Download or read book The Weakness of Gravity written by Maureen Tadlock and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2011-02 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is the tail end of the sixties in Los Angeles, in that seemingly split second of time when all hell broke loose and the conformity of the "Leave it to Beaver" fifties would forever be shed. That's when Maureen Tadlock hit the streets, her mother divorced for the forth time, with no rules or constraints, twelve years old saying she was fifteen, cruising the boulevards, dropping acid, in an endless carnival of parties and characters that were both innocent and outrageous. But as "the Fates" would have it the law would soon intervene and reset her course on an odyssey of greater meaning and further adventure while continuing to ride the wave of a cultural revolution. In her search for home, family and love in a world that from the beginning felt alien, Maureen Tadlock explores the borderlands of inner experience, creative expression and the transcendent, mythical meaning of her life as a young woman. "The Weakness of Gravity is a magic carpet ride of imagination and adventure, bikers, barrio boys, hippie houses and harrowing cross-country trips. Securely moored in the unwavering and addictive voice of Maureen Tadlock, the memoir tells a tale of fearlessness and uncompromising creative expression during a time when the country flared with hope and revolution. A must read that may very well change your life." Suzanne Kingsbury, author of The Summer Fletcher Greel Loved Me and The Gospel According to Gracey. "A superbly written memoir, The Weakness of Gravity is a moving, haunting account of Maureen Tadlock's coming of age and emerging consciousness of self in relation to place, home, love, community and creative expression in her life. It is told with genuine humor and an evenly hovering attention that recreates scenes, places, and moments in history with spare but telling details. She recounts experiences of non-ordinary states of consciousness in such a way that they are compelling, intriguing, and just part of the story so that they are not jarring to the reader, but linger as vivid and beautiful images in the reader's mind." James Sparrell Ph.D. "There is a magical quality to Maureen's writing that allows the personal and temporal incidences of her life that she invokes to become transparent and reveal something larger and timeless." Francis X. Charet Ph.D.

Download or read book Off Beat written by Jan Hein Hoogstad and published by Rodopi. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Off Beat: Pluralizing Rhythm draws attention to rhythm as a tool for analyzing various cultural objects. In fields as diverse as music, culture, nature, and economy, rhythm can be seen as a phenomenon that both connects and divides. It suggests a certain measure with which people, practices, and cultures may comply. Yet, for this very reason rhythm can also function as a field of exclusion, contestation, and debate. In that respect, rhythm possesses an underestimated meaning-creating potential. Whereas its connecting force is often accentuated in the aesthetic, political, and commercial usage of the term, the divisive aspect of rhythm is at least as important. This volume wants to rid rhythm of its harmless, nearly esoteric, reputation as a cosmic unifier by understanding it in the light of the contemporary medial turn. In the present collection of essays, we have encouraged approaches that combine political, aesthetic, musical, and theoretical dimensions of rhythm. Jan Hein Hoogstad is Assistant Professor in Comparative Literature and Cultural Analysis at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen is Associate Professor in the Section for Aesthetics and Culture, Department of Aesthetics and Communication, Aarhus University, Denmark.
Download or read book Teacher Proof written by Tom Bennett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘Tom Bennett is the voice of the modern teacher.’ - Stephen Drew, Senior Vice-Principal, Passmores Academy, UK, featured on Channel 4’s Educating Essex Do the findings from educational science ever really improve the day-to-day practice of classroom teachers? Education is awash with theories about how pupils best learn and teachers best teach, most often propped up with the inevitable research that ‘proves’ the case in point. But what can teachers do to find the proof within the pudding, and how can this actually help them on wet Wednesday afternoon?. Drawing from a wide range of recent and popular education theories and strategies, Tom Bennett highlights how much of what we think we know in schools hasn’t been ‘proven’ in any meaningful sense at all. He inspires teachers to decide for themselves what good and bad education really is, empowering them as professionals and raising their confidence in the classroom and the staffroom alike. Readers are encouraged to question and reflect on issues such as: the most common ideas in modern education and where these ideas were born the crisis in research right now how research is commissioned and used by the people who make policy in the UK and beyond the provenance of education research: who instigates it, who writes it, and how to spot when a claim is based on evidence and when it isn’t the different way that data can be analysed what happens to the research conclusions once they escape the laboratory. Controversial, erudite and yet unremittingly entertaining, Tom includes practical suggestions for the classroom throughout. This book will be an ally to every teacher who’s been handed an instruction on a platter and been told, ‘the research proves it.’
