Product Description
Linda Caldwell, young, beautiful, and talented, marries Max, an aging Texas multi-millionaire. He takes her to his historic ranch, Rancho Simon Bolivar, in West Texas, where, during the honeymoon, she discovers that he is impotent. Since Linda expected to add to Max's family of two grown children with a baby of their own, she is sorely disappointed. It is then that she meets Rudy ? Rudolfo Castellano, newly retired Air Force captain. He has returned to the ranch as its manager, a job his father held until his early death. Rudy grew up on Bolivar and holds it dear ? too dear to be desecrated by Max's plans to turn its 10,000 acres into 10-acre ranchettes. Linda finds herself torn between two powerful men, their political ambitions, and the demands of her own heart. ... Read more

"Questioning the Author" (QtA) is an interactive teaching strategy that helps students comprehend what they are reading.When elementary students read in a QtA lesson, they learn to question the ideas presented in the text while they are reading, making them thinkers, not just readers.

Questioning the Author: An Approach for Enhancing Student Engagement with Text presents many examples of QtA in action.The authors analyze the transcripts of actual class discussions to show the important tools that differentiate QtA from other approaches to reading comprehension and engagement. ...

Excellent idea for teaching comprehension
How does one teach comprehension? With the current obsession on phonics and code emphasis, I find QtA a refreshing read. Tried, tested and proven in classrooms, QtA is based on the idea that reading is about constructing meaning, more so than just breaking the code. To use this approach, the teacher has to really read the text well first, grasp its main ideas as intended by the author, and plan to guide the students to arrive at those ideas. She also has to anticipate the difficulties encountered by her students as they read the text, and consider the fallibility of the author in fleshing out his ideas. These elements make QtA a teaching approach different from the traditional ways of teaching comprehension. One can even combine it with other strategies, such as KWL.

Dr. Beck's book should be read by all teachers.
QtA helps young readers become thinking readers. By posing queries before, during and after reading, the teacher guides her students to becomeindependent, thoughtful readers who can make sense out of oftentimespoorly-written or hard-to-understand texts. This strategy appearsapplicable to all age-levels. The book is written in an easy to understandstyle and includes sample lessons.Questioning the Author is a MUST READ forall teachers and should be included in teacher preparation curriculums. ...

Product Description
"Oral History and Public Memories" is the first book to explore the relationship between the well-established practice of oral history and the burgeoning field of memory studies. In the past, oral historians have generally privileged the individual narrator, frequently fetishizing the interview process without fully understanding that interviews are only one form of memory-making. Historians engaged in memory studies, on the other hand, have asked broader questions - about the social and cultural processes at work in remembrance. What distinguishes these essays from much work in oral history is their focus not on the experiences of individual narrators, but on the broader cultural meanings of oral history narratives. What distinguishes them from other work in memory studies is their grounding in real events. Taken together, these contributions explain the processes by which oral histories move beyond interviews with individual people to become articulated memories shared by others. ... Read more

Excellent collection of articles that interest and surprise
This collection of articles presents a range of research sites--from the homeless in Philadelphia to the women survivors of Kosovo after the Balkan wars in the 1990s. I learned something from every one of them. The book is fascinating reading because the research strategies are brilliant and conclusions to the research are surprising.
