Book excerpt: Love can be hell. I’m Faline Delamore. I’m the best demon hunter there is, but slaying monsters from the underworld for a living makes me feel trapped. My father trained me to be an assassin from birth, and he expects perfection. As a Nephilim, my life is consumed by battles and hellfire. I’m headed off to college to get a break from all the slaying, until I run into a sexy guy that’s just as hot as he is dangerous. Thames Deacon is tall, dark, and full of secrets. Despite his warnings to stay away, I can’t keep my distance. Something about him is just… bad. And after a lifetime of being good, I want to see what it's like to play with fire. But I have to keep my guard up, because there's a traitor hiding in the shadows. Students are being hunted by demons, and there are more supernatural beings on campus than I expected. What's more, I discover that I have a sister I've never known... and Thames is connected to her complicated past. Thames wants me to stay away from him, to keep myself safe, but I can't seem to leave his side. If I fall in love, I might end up dead... Even if Thames ends up being my salvation.

Download or read book Tortured by Blue written by Chicago Torture Victims and published by Balboa Press. This book was released on 2019-02 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The torture ring that operated out of Chicago Police Department Area 2 and 3 headquarters for more than two decades is one of the most terrible and harrowing stories of injustice to take place in my lifetime. Journalists, lawyers and activists played their part in exposing this nightmare, but the victims of police torture themselves did the most to make the truth known, and against steep odds, they were heard. Jon Burge may have never seen the inside of a jail cell like he should have, but thanks in large part to Stanley Howard and the other authors of this book, he will never be remembered as anything other than a monstrous criminal. This book tells the story of police torture in Chicago from the inside—literally—and when you read it, you’ll agree that no one has done a better job of telling all of it. Nothing can ever make up for the injustices these men suffered. But if we can stop this state-sponsored crime from ever happening again, we will have Stanley, Mark, Marvin and Ronnie to thank for it. — Alan Maass, author, The Case for Socialism; editor, SocialistWorker.org Tortured by Blue is not a story about individual survival in the face of horrific circumstances. It is a story about the multitude of individuals (police, prosecutors, judges, elected officials to name a few), practices, and systems that looked the other way and knowingly ALLOWED for the police torture of men and women in Chicago to continue on for decades. With the turn of each page, my rage grew, and with it a commitment to making sure the truths Stanley Howard, Mark Clements, Marvin Reeves and Ronald Kitchen lifts up in their writings are shared widely and result in accountability and substantive change so no individual or family has to go through what the police torture survivors had to experience. —Cindy Eigler, director of policy and strategic initiatives, Chicago Torture Justice Center Swept under the rug for too long, the wrongful convictions and police abuses described in [Torture by Blue] are a very real part of the history of the city of Chicago. Studying that history is crucial to avoiding the mistakes of the past, and [the author’s] deserves considerable credit from pulling it all together. Well -researched and comprehensive in scope, [the author’s] book doses an excellent job of telling this important story. —Jon Lovey, civil rights attorney specializing in police misconduct

Download or read book In There with the Kids written by David Kobrin and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2004-12-15 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best teachers, says David Kobrin, think about who their students are and how they learn. In this age of standardized tests and "teacher-proof" lesson plans, they recognize that teaching is a rich and complex activity that demands professional skill, sound judgment, and quick thinking. This second edition of In There with the Kids presents the parallel working lives of two teachers, elementary teacher Mel Stainko and high school teacher Hilary Coles. We see these teachers (composites drawn from the author's experience and observations in schools) as they plan lessons, interact with students, reflect on what happens in the classroom, and try always to do better. Through them we are prompted to think carefully about why some lessons work and others don't. Kobrin brings us into the classroom, where we hear the voices of individual students and see how their concerns influence what happens each day. He provides detailed reconstructions of student debates and includes the handouts, exams, and assessment instructions used for selected lessons. At the close of each chapter, he analyzes the characters' actions, the motives behind them, and their effects on events in the classroom. Both practical and inspiring, In There with the Kids demonstrates that by tailoring lessons to students' life experiences, teachers can help students reach new levels of achievement.

Download or read book The Case Against Homework written by Sara Bennett and published by Harmony. This book was released on 2007-08-28 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Does assigning fifty math problems accomplish any more than assigning five? Is memorizing word lists the best way to increase vocabulary—especially when it takes away from reading time? And what is the real purpose behind those devilish dioramas? The time our children spend doing homework has skyrocketed in recent years. Parents spend countless hours cajoling their kids to complete such assignments—often without considering whether or not they serve any worthwhile purpose. Even many teachers are in the dark: Only one of the hundreds the authors interviewed and surveyed had ever taken a course specifically on homework during training. The truth, according to Sara Bennett and Nancy Kalish, is that there is almost no evidence that homework helps elementary school students achieve academic success and little evidence that it helps older students. Yet the nightly burden is taking a serious toll on America’s families. It robs children of the sleep, play, and exercise time they need for proper physical, emotional, and neurological development. And it is a hidden cause of the childhood obesity epidemic, creating a nation of “homework potatoes.” In The Case Against Homework, Bennett and Kalish draw on academic research, interviews with educators, parents, and kids, and their own experience as parents and successful homework reformers to offer detailed advice to frustrated parents. You’ll find out which assignments advance learning and which are time-wasters, how to set priorities when your child comes home with an overstuffed backpack, how to talk and write to teachers and school administrators in persuasive, nonconfrontational ways, and how to rally other parents to help restore balance in your children’s lives. Empowering, practical, and rigorously researched, The Case Against Homework shows how too much work is having a negative effect on our children’s achievement and development and gives us the tools and tactics we need to advocate for change.

Book excerpt: Emotional Torture – a deeply touching and vulnerable memoir of addiction, mental health, and recovery. Beth grows up in a seemingly idyllic fashion that comprised of big family get-togethers, unforgettable trips with friends, life-changing travel, multiple years of academics, and where she was arguably driven the most, her athletics. Her mother – a typical “soccer mom”, hard-working and self-sacrificing with a successful career in nursing – fell into narcotics addiction, spiraling quickly into severe alcoholism. While caring for her mother in the throes of her addiction, her father, the rock in her life, tragically suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. She was up against the challenge of managing their care, in a time where they were both barely clinging to life. Tenacious and driven – a self-described type A personality – Beth had to learn how to accept help for herself in the midst of coping with these new versions of her mother and father, while desperately seeking help for their recoveries. She shares what she has learned in the hopes of inspiring others who are coping with traumatic events in their lives. Emotional Torture – a must read.

Download or read book The Torture Machine written by Flint Taylor and published by Haymarket Books. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With his colleagues at the People’s Law Office (PLO), Taylor has argued landmark civil rights cases that have exposed corruption and cover-up within the Chicago Police Department (CPD) and throughout the city’s political machine, from aldermen to the mayor’s office. [TAYLOR’s BOOK] takes the reader from the 1969 murders of Black Panther Party chairman Fred Hampton and Panther Mark Clark—and the historic, thirteen-year trial that followed—through the dogged pursuit of chief detective Jon Burge, the leader of a torture ring within the CPD that used barbaric methods, including electric shock, to elicit false confessions from suspects. Taylor and the PLO gathered evidence from multiple cases to bring suit against the CPD, breaking the department’s “code of silence” that had enabled decades of cover-up. The legal precedents they set have since been adopted in human rights legislation around the world.
