Book excerpt: The CW's hit adaptation of Supergirl is a new take on the classic DC character for a new audience. With diverse female characters, it explores different versions of the female experience. No single character embodies a feminist ideal but together they represent attributes of the contemporary feminist conversation. This collection of new essays uses a similar approach, inviting a diverse group of scholars to address the many questions about gender roles and female agency in the series. Essays analyze how the series engages with feminism, Supergirl's impact on queer audiences, and how families craft the show's feminist narratives. In the ever-growing superhero television genre, Supergirl remains unique as viewers watch a female hero with almost godlike powers face the same struggles as ordinary women in the series.

Download or read book It s A Jungle Out There Power Parenting Lessons Inspired by The Lion King written by Nathaniel A. Turner and published by Two Crabs and a Lion. This book was released on 2019-06-27 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where have all the parents gone? What happened to those who, like my grandmother, treated parenting as the most important human responsibility and the planet's oldest profession? My grandmother, if she were living, would not recognize today's parents. Something is amiss. We reside in a country that places higher demands on passing a driver's education course than it does on procreation and raising children. We offer classes like Lamaze to prepare parents for the birth of a child but have no such courses to equip parents for being able to raise a child. The way we view parenting and subsequently raise children is absurd. So, I wrote this book because I believe my grandmother would have wanted me to say something. I wrote this book because I'm concerned that if we wait much longer to outline a process to help our future citizens, we won't be able to repair or recondition the fabric of our nation. I wrote this book because I believe all children need and deserve great parents.
Download or read book A Gradual Staccato Or Emptiness and Other Plays written by Robert Reichardt and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FIVE PLAYS BY ROBERT REICHARDT Included in this collection are five fascinating plays by the avant-garde playwright, Robert Reichardt. Each is unique in its subject matter, and dazzling in originality. A GRADUAL STACCATO OR EMPTINESS concerns the trauma of being a genius -- a child prodigy -- in an ignorant world inhabited by lesser beings. Nobody noticed (or could even imagine) that someone as profoundly gifted as Erick Uselmann might be in trouble -- and it wasn't just about Hiroshima. What do words and literacy mean to mankind? Everything, it turns out -- they make us human. In the comedy, A TOTALLY IMPRACTICAL MAN, a former illiterate (Kurt Mauer) is fought over by two attractive women -- who definitely aren't what they seem. They both promise him a mysterious "Universal Alphabet Machine" which will revolutionize the entire world by eliminating illiteracy, and poverty. All he has to do is follow one of them. RICHARD PLANTAGENT (TWICE), or the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, is a play based on the turbulent life of King Richard II. The drama combines what we know of the historical man with someone made more accessible through the imagination. Can an ugly, middle-aged man and a young beautiful girl co-exist on a remote island the size of a boxing ring? This is the premise of LOVE ON A GRIEF ISLAND, as Sam and Claudia struggle to survive after a plane crash in the South Pacific. In the short work, THE FABRIC OF SOCIETY, Gaston Laclede, a monarchist father, and Luc, his radical son, are forced to make a hard decision in Paris during the French Revolution.

Download or read book Taking Forward the Primary Curriculum Preparing for the 2014 National Curriculum written by Roy Blatchford and published by John Catt. This book was released on 2013-10-11 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has a simple intent. In September 2014, primary schools in England will be expected to adopt a new national curriculum. There is good time to prepare. At this point of curriculum change and development in England's schools, the contributors offer their considered reflections on how primary schools across the country might take forward and shape their own curriculum framework for pupils. The spirit of the book is, based on considerable leadership experience in schools, letting-a-thousand-flowers-bloom rather than recommending a one-size-fits-all approach. This book does not set out to analyse the content of the 2014 Primary Curriculum, nor to present ways in which individual schools should plan their schemes of work and weekly or monthly planning. That is rightly the province of each school, learning from and sharing best practice with others. Rather, the contributors to this book present underpinning values, ideas and approaches to successful curriculum planning, rooted in many years of leading and working in schools. Their reflections come from varying perspectives: teachers, headteachers, directors of foundations and leading thinkers on education, each of whom is involved in the work of the National Education Trust (www.nationaleducationtrust.net), an independent charitable foundation which champions best practice.

Download or read book Biofuels Land Grabbing and Food Security in Africa written by Prosper B. Matondi and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2011-06-09 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issue of biofuels has already been much debated, but the focus to date has largely been on Latin America and deforestation - this highly original work breaks fresh ground in looking at the African perspective. Most African governments see biofuels as having the potential to increase agricultural productivity and export incomes and thus strengthen their national economies, improving energy balances and rural employment. At the same time climate change may be addressed through reduction of green house gas emissions. There are, however, a number of uncertainties mounting that challenge this scenario. Using cutting-edge empirical case studies, this knowledge gap is addressed in a variety of chapters examining the effects of large-scale biofuel production on African agriculture. In particular, 'land grabbing' and food security issues are scrutinised, both of which have become vital topics in regard to the environmental and developmental governance of African countries. A revealing book for anyone wishing to understand the startling impact of biofuels and land grabbing on Africa.
Download or read book The Sioux Chef s Indigenous Kitchen written by Sean Sherman and published by U of Minnesota Press. This book was released on 2017-10-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2018 James Beard Award Winner: Best American Cookbook Named one of the Best Cookbooks of 2017 by NPR, The Village Voice, Smithsonian Magazine, UPROXX, New York Magazine, San Francisco Chronicle, Mpls. St. PaulMagazine and others Here is real food—our indigenous American fruits and vegetables, the wild and foraged ingredients, game and fish. Locally sourced, seasonal, “clean” ingredients and nose-to-tail cooking are nothing new to Sean Sherman, the Oglala Lakota chef and founder of The Sioux Chef. In his breakout book, The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen, Sherman shares his approach to creating boldly seasoned foods that are vibrant, healthful, at once elegant and easy. Sherman dispels outdated notions of Native American fare—no fry bread or Indian tacos here—and no European staples such as wheat flour, dairy products, sugar, and domestic pork and beef. The Sioux Chef’s healthful plates embrace venison and rabbit, river and lake trout, duck and quail, wild turkey, blueberries, sage, sumac, timpsula or wild turnip, plums, purslane, and abundant wildflowers. Contemporary and authentic, his dishes feature cedar braised bison, griddled wild rice cakes, amaranth crackers with smoked white bean paste, three sisters salad, deviled duck eggs, smoked turkey soup, dried meats, roasted corn sorbet, and hazelnut–maple bites. The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen is a rich education and a delectable introduction to modern indigenous cuisine of the Dakota and Minnesota territories, with a vision and approach to food that travels well beyond those borders.
