Enjoying the walk down the line
This delightful little hardback book gave me ideas to enhance my travel sketching techniques.Chris uses a variety of approaches with his handful of sketching implements.I was particularly attracted to his work as he reached Italy in his travels.I carried this wee book on a recent sketching holiday to Turkey for inspiration, and even sought out a fine brown pen in the back streets of Istanbul to trial the effect which pleased me - especially when drawing old buildings or ruins.
It is worth taking the time to decipher Chris' squiggles, as you walk with him through the sights, sounds and smells of the streets and countryside, experiencing what he feels.I read it from cover to cover.
I recommend it to anyone who enjoys quick travel sketching or who wants a flavour of France, Switzerland and Italy.

A long long line
As a collector of small hand drawn or hand written journals, I was happy to add this one to my bookshelf.It is a fascinating account of an elderly man's walk (with only a knapsack) from Le Havre to Rome.That fact alone I found awesome!!He records his days with keen perception and charming drawings, and the writing--what I could read of it--is quite interesting.His drawings are charming and quite wonderful.My main complaint is that it is rather difficult to read what he wrote, and his journey was so interesting, I felt cheated when I couldn't make it out....hence the three stars.But it is unique among the flurry of little books like this which have been published in the last five years.An evening with a book like this, with its quirky little handwritten comments and completely individual drawings, is an enjoyable antidote to the rigid world of computers, instant copies, and fax machines. ...

A volume in Research on Stress and Coping in Education

Series Editors: Gordon S. Gates, Washington State University, Mimi Wolverton,University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Walter H. Gmelch, University of San Francisco,and Christine Schwarzer, University of Duesseldorf

School districts today face increasing calls for accountability during a time when budgets are stretched and students’ needs have become increasinglycomplex. The teacher’s responsibility is to educate younger people, but now more than ever, teachers face demands on a variety of fronts. In addition toteaching academic content, schools are responsible for students’ performance on state-wide tests. They are also asked to play an increasingly larger role inchildren’s well-being, including their nutritional needs and social and emotional welfare. Teachers have shown themselves to be more than capable of takingup such challenges, but what price is paid for the increasing demands we are placing on our schools? Understanding Teacher Stress in an Age of Accountabilityis about the nature of teachers stress and the resources they can employ to cope with it.

Accountability is a two-way street and the authors in this volume suggest remedies for reducing teacher stress and in all likelihood increasing studentlearning—greater administrative support, more and better instructional materials, specialized resources targeted at demanding children, parental support,and professional recognition. Readers will discover that lack of funding, low pay, concerns about academic performance and student misbehavior, andincreased public and governmental scrutiny are not exclusive to the United States. In this volume, the third in a series on Research on Stress and Coping inEducation, authors from Australia, Turkey, Malaysia, and the Netherlands sound the same alarms, post the same warnings, and draw similarly disturbing conclusions.
