This book was released on 2019-01-29 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Magic, Monsters, and Make-Believe Heroes looks at fantasy film, television, and participative culture as evidence of our ongoing need for a mythic vision—for stories larger than ourselves into which we write ourselves and through which we can become the heroes of our own story. Why do we tell and retell the same stories over and over when we know they can’t possibly be true? Contrary to popular belief, it’s not because pop culture has run out of good ideas. Rather, it is precisely because these stories are so fantastic, some resonating so deeply that we elevate them to the status of religion. Illuminating everything from Buffy the Vampire Slayer to Dungeons and Dragons, and from Drunken Master to Mad Max, Douglas E. Cowan offers a modern manifesto for why and how mythology remains a vital force today.

Book excerpt: The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has articulated goals in the pursuit of mathematics literacy that include learning to value mathematics, becoming confident in one's mathematics abilities, becoming a mathematical problem solver, learning to communicate mathematically, and learning to reason mathematically. Literature that explores mathematical concepts seems to be a natural tool for attaining those goals. The NCTM formed a committee to read and review books and to prepare the manuscript for this annotated bibliography of children's books in mathematics. This book provides reviews for approximately 500 books in mathematics for preschool through grade 6. Each review describes the book's content and accuracy, its illustrations and their appropriateness, the author's writing style, and whether activities for the reader are included. Each book is rated in terms of its usefulness in teaching mathematical concepts as highly recommended, recommended, acceptable, or not recommended for mathematical concepts. The grade level of each book is included in the bibliographical entry. The books have been classified into four main categories with respect to their mathematical content: (1) early number concepts; (2) number extensions and connections; (3) measurement; and (4) geometry and spatial sense. An overview for each of the categories can be found at the beginning of each section. Two indexes list the books by author and by title. (MDH)
