Red Magic The World’s Best Fairy Tales Collected and Arranged by Romer Wilson

Red Magic The World’s Best Fairy Tales Collected and Arranged by Romer Wilson

With a Preface and biographies from Jack Zipes as well as the original illustrations by Kay Nielsen this collection of fairy tales originally published by the award-winning Romer Wilson – Green Magic (1928) Silver Magic (1929) and Red Magic (1930) – offers a combination of classic fairy tales alongside lesser known global and diverse tales. Red Magic contains such classics as “Aladdin and the Wonderful Lamp” from the Arabian Nights “A Child’s Dream on a Star” by Dickens and “The Chimera” by Hawthorne. It also contains previously unpublished tales such as “Princess Silver Silk” and “The Enchanted Deer. ” It was Romer Wilson’s intention to combine the familiar with the unknown and to introduce authors and cultures from a variety of countries. As a researcher Wilson uncovered a remarkable amount of stories from other countries that remain unknown today. This collection gives voice to unique and intriguing tales that inspire children to have a better understanding of how people and their stories are alike despite major differences. Through his Preface and commentary Jack Zipes shows how all three books are a means to bring people together in the name of peace and justice. These books will therefore be of interest to anyone researching or studying fairy tales folklore and children’s literature as well as global or comparative literature and social justice. | Red Magic The World’s Best Fairy Tales Collected and Arranged by Romer Wilson

Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

This book offers the analysis of a selection of North American texts that dismantle and resist normative frames through the resignification of concepts such as unhappiness precarity failure and vulnerability. The chapters bring to the fore how those potentially negative elements can be refigured as ambivalent sites of resistance and social bonding. Following Sara Ahmed’s rereading of happiness other authors such as Judith Butler Wendy Brown Jack Halberstam Lauren Berlant or Henry Giroux are mobilized to interrogate films memoirs and novels that deal with precarity alienation and inequality. The monograph contributes to enlarging the archives of unhappiness by changing the focus from prescribed norms and happy endings to unruly practices and unhappy beginnings. As the different contributors show unhappiness precarity vulnerability or failure can be harnessed to illuminate ways of navigating the world and framing society that do not necessarily conform to the script of happiness—whatever that means. | Unhappy Beginnings Narratives of Precarity Failure and Resistance in North American Texts

Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind

The fundamental premise of Thinkback-based on overwhelming scientific evidence-is that intelligence is not fixed at birth and that with consistent effort we can dramatically improve our capacities. It counters the claims of some psychologists that it is impossible to increase intelligence because that ability is determined at birth. Thinkback builds on the Think Aloud strategies in Arthur Whimbey and Jack Lochhead's popular and widely used volume Problem Solving & Comprehension now in its sixth edition. Since its publication thousands of students have used these techniques for improving thinking and analytic reasoning to increase test scores win National Merit Scholarships and gain admission to top-ranked professional schools. Now Thinkback shows how these powerful strategies can be applied to a range of important academic areas including mathematics language arts social studies and science. Thinkback is a tool for student empowerment-a strategy they can use to improve both their ability to think and their ability to learn. The Thinkback classroom on the other hand is a design for teacher liberation-enabling them to see learning more clearly than they ever could before. This is the only book currently available that contains detailed models of metacognitive dialogues in the classroom. These dialogues enable teachers and teacher educators to observe thinking processes that have previously been invisible and undetectable. Based on over 20 years of careful cognitive research the dialogues provide teachers with important insights into the nature of thinking and problem solving. Thinkback is a picture window on the working mind. This book: Describes the Thinkback strategy for making thinking strategies explicit easy to teach and easy to learn. Includes numerous detailed examples that demonstrate the Thinkback technique. Six quite different learning strategies-deri | Thinkback A User's Guide to Minding the Mind
