Forbidden Hollywood: When Sin Ruled the Movies (Turner Classic Movies)
by Mark A. VieiraFilled with rare images and untold stories from filmmakers, exhibitors, and moviegoers, Forbidden Hollywood is the ultimate guide to a gloriously entertaining era when a lax code of censorship let sin rule the movies.Forbidden Hollywood is a history of "pre-Code" like none other: you will eavesdrop on production conferences, read nervous telegrams from executives to censors, and hear Americans argue about "immoral" movies. You will see decisions artfully wrought, so as to fool some of the people long enough to get films into theaters. You will read what theater managers thought of such craftiness, and hear from fans as they applauded creativity or condemned crassness. You will see how these films caused a grass-roots movement to gain control of Hollywood-and why they were "forbidden" for fifty years.The book spotlights the twenty-two films that led to the strict new Code of 1934, including Red-Headed Woman, Call Her Savage, and She Done Him Wrong. You'll see Paul Muni shoot a path to power in the original Scarface; Barbara Stanwyck climb the corporate ladder on her own terms in Baby Face; and misfits seek revenge in Freaks.More than 200 newly restored (and some never-before-published) photographs illustrate pivotal moments in the careers of Clara Bow, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer, and Greta Garbo; and the pre-Code stardom of Claudette Colbert, Cary Grant, Marlene Dietrich, James Cagney, and Mae West. This is the definitive portrait of an unforgettable era in filmmaking.

Force and Motion: An Illustrated Guide to Newton's Laws
by Jason ZimbaIsaac Newton developed three laws of motion that govern the everyday world. These laws are usually presented in purely mathematical forms, but Jason Zimba breaks with tradition and treats them visually. This unique approach allows students to appreciate the conceptual underpinnings of each law before moving on to qualitative descriptions of motion and, finally, to the equations and their solutions.Zimba has organized the book into seventeen brief and well-sequenced lessons, which focus on simple, manageable topics and delve into areas that often cause students to stumble. Each lesson is followed by a set of original problems that have been student-tested and refined over twenty years. Zimba illustrates the laws with more than 350 diagrams, an innovative presentation that offers a fresh way to teach the fundamentals in introductory physics, mechanics, and kinematics courses.
FORCE: Drawing Human Anatomy (Force Drawing Series)
by Mike MattesiThe newest book in Michael Mattesi’s Force Drawing series takes movement to the next level. Force: Drawing Human Anatomy, explores the different facets of motion and the human body. As opposed to the memorization technique, Mattesi stresses the function of each body part and how gravity relative to different poses affects the aesthetics and form of muscle. The chapters are divided by the different parts of the body, thus allowing the reader to concentrate on mastery one body part at a time. Color coded images detail each muscle and their different angles. Special consideration is given to anatomy for animation, allowing the reader to create a character that is anatomically accurate in both stillness and motion. Key Features Detailed visual instruction includes colourful, step-by-step diagrams that allow you to easily follow the construction of an anatomically correct figure. Clearly organized and color coded per regions of the body's anatomy, a clarity of design for better reader understanding. Learn how anatomy is drawn and defined by the function of a pose.

The Force of the Feminine: Women, Men and the Church
by Margaret Ann FranklinOriginally published in 1986. The Force of the Feminine brings together the work of Christians from a number of denominations in examining different aspects of the task of converting the Church to the ‘feminine’. Women have by and large occupied a subordinate position within the Church: men have written the theology; in the majority of denominations only men have always been permitted to be priests or ministers. The book explores how to awaken individual Christians to the need to feminise Church structures and, further, the possible need to rethink the very notion of God. The Force of the Feminine will appeal to those with an interest in religious studies, the history of Christianity, and religion and gender.

Forced to Fail: The Paradox of School Desegregation (Non-ser.)
by Stephen J. Caldas Carl L. IIICaldas and Bankston provide a critical, dispassionate analysis of why desegregation in the United States has failed to achieve the goal of providing equal educational opportunities for all students. They offer case histories through dozens of examples of failed desegregation plans from all over the country. The book takes a very broad perspective on race and education, situated in the larger context of the development of individual rights in Western civiliztion.The book traces the long legal history of first racial segregation, and then racial desegregation in America. The authors explain how rapidly changing demographics and family structure in the United States have greatly complicated the project of top-down government efforts to achieve an ideal racial balance in schools. It describes how social capital—a positive outcome of social interaction between and among parents, children, and teachers—creates strong bonds that lead to high academic achievement.The authors show how coercive desegregation weakens bonds and hurts not only students and schools, but also entire communities. Examples from all parts of the United States show how parents undermined desegregation plans by seeking better educational alternatives for their children rather than supporting the public schools to which their children were assigned. Most important, this book offers an alternative, more realistic viewpoint on class, race, and education in America.
Forces of Education: Walter Benjamin and the Politics of Pedagogy (Walter Benjamin Studies)
by Dennis Johannßen and Dominik ZechnerBringing Walter Benjamin into dialogue with the urgent issues facing educational institutions today, this is the first comprehensive exploration of his philosophy of education and pedagogy. In recent years, problems concerning the practice of education have become central to the critical discourse in the humanities: from debates regarding “deplatforming” and the redefinition of free speech on campus to the digitization of learning and the ethics of mentorship. But where do we go from here? This volume argues that Walter Benjamin's writing offers critical tools to rethink the purposes of education and the institutional forms it should assume. Reaching from his earliest writings during his involvement with the antebellum German Youth Movement to his late essays on history, theatre, and new media, the authors here explore how Benjamin argued against education as an institutional task subject to a scientific discipline. They show instead how he took his cue from language as a medium of subtle understanding to critically analyze the forms of violence inherent in the concept and history of education. For Benjamin, education was the lever to political reform. For him, the experience of youth should always be at the centre of considerations. Written by leading international scholars, Walter Benjamin and Education both contextualizes Benjamin's pedagogy in the trajectory of his own thought and also offers an astute analysis of the value and relevance of his student-focused ideas to the institutional and political challenges of today.

Fordern und Fördern: Leistungsanforderungen und Differenzierung in der Lern- und Förderumwelt privater Grundschulen
by Swantje HadelerSwantje Hadeler untersucht, ob und in welcher Weise die Merkmale „Leistungsanforderungen und Anspruchsniveau“ sowie „Differenzierung“, die in der Schul- und Unterrichtsforschung als Charakteristika wirksamer Schulen gelten, in der Lern- und Förderumwelt von privaten Grundschulen umgesetzt und wie sie von SchülerInnen im Schulalltag wahrgenommen werden. Die umfangreiche Datenbasis der Analysen stammt aus einer ethnografischen Vertiefungsstudie des Projekts PERLE (PERsönlichkeits- und LErnentwicklung von Grundschulkindern), die im dritten und vierten Schuljahr in zwei Klassen an zwei Schulen durchgeführt wurde. Zusammenfassend zeigen die Ergebnisse, dass beide Aspekte auf schulischer und unterrichtlicher Ebene vielseitig realisiert werden, sich dabei zwischen den Schulen neben Gemeinsamkeiten allerdings auch Unterschiede zeigen. Auch die SchülerInnen nehmen die Aspekte ebenso vergleichbar wie unterschiedlich wahr.

Förderung der Sprechkompetenz durch Synthese von generischem Lernen und Dramapädagogik: Eine Design-Based Research-Studie im Englischunterricht (Literatur-, Kultur- und Sprachvermittlung: LiKuS)
by Katharina DeliusKatharina Delius befasst sich in diesem Band mit der Frage, wie die Sprechkompetenz im Fremdsprachenunterricht gefördert werden kann. Dazu werden auf der theoretischen Ebene die Potenziale einer Synthese zweier aktueller fremdsprachendidaktischer Ansätze – des generischen Lernens und der Dramapädagogik – erarbeitet. Die angeschlossene Design-Based Research-Studie verfolgt eine doppelte Zielsetzung: einerseits einen theoretischen Erkenntnisgewinn zum gewählten didaktischen Ansatz, andererseits einen praktischen Output in Form empirisch evaluierter Unterrichtseinheiten zur fremdsprachlichen Sprechförderung. Zudem werden über die drei Forschungszyklen Designprinzipien weiterentwickelt, die Lehrkräften für die Planung neuer Unterrichtseinheiten zur Verfügung stehen. Als Grundlage für die formative und summative Evaluation der Zyklen dienen Daten aus Videoaufnahmen, teilnehmender Beobachtung, Reflexionsgesprächen mit der beteiligten Lehrkraft, Interviews mit Lernenden in Fokusgruppen, Lernerprodukten sowie Evaluations- und Selbsteinschätzungsbögen aller beteiligter Schüler*innen. Die Autorin Katharina Delius ist wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin am Lehrstuhl für Fachdidaktik Englisch der Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.

Altbach, one of the most important education comparativists worldwide for over forty years. From his early writings on India and student activism to his recent work on research universities, Altbach has served as a key developer of the expansion of the field to include comparative higher education. His capacity to find, support, and gather the best minds around the world, to organize research teams in order to explore the most relevant issues on comparative higher education has earned him international recognition. His service to the field of comparative higher education is invaluable and incomparable. This festschrift contains original pieces from colleagues and former students following a twofold discussion: the most relevant topics on comparative higher education and particular Altbach’s contributions to this field of work.
Foregrounds: Opaque Stories about Learning
by Ole Skovsmose"Foregrounds contributes to the development of theories of learning, in particular to theories of learning mathematics. It is relevant to students, student teachers, and researchers in the field of education as well as in mathematics education. Foregrounds contains six parts. Part I provides a summary of the notion of foreground as it has developed since the author introduced the idea in Towards a Philosophy of Critical Mathematics Education. In Part II, the reader meets some students who tell us about their neighbourhood, about drug dealing, violence, and about playing football. They tell us about their teachers, about mathematics, and about what they would like their teachers to do. They tell us about their hopes, expectations, and frustrations. Part III presents the notions of intentionality and life-world as developed by Brentano and Husserl. However, in Part IV the author provides a radical reinterpretation of these two notions. He describes “real-life intentionalities” and “real-life worlds” as profoundly structured by a range of social factors. Part V is composed as a meeting between, on the one hand, the students and their experiences as presented in Part II, and on the other hand these notions of “real-life intentionalities” and “real-life worlds”. Through this meeting the author develops further the notion of foreground. The concluding part (Part VI) brings more examples as illustrations. Ole Skovsmose has a special interest in critical mathematics education. He has investigated the landscape of investigation, students’ experience of meaning, project work, mathematics education and democracy, mathematics in action, and mathematics and power. He has published more than 20 books in Danish, English and Portuguese as well as a huge number of articles. Sense has published the following books by Ole Skovsmose: Travelling through Education, In Doubt, An Invitation to Critical Mathematics Education, and Opening the Cage: Critique and Politics of Mathematics Education, which is edited together with Brian Greer."
Foreign Accent: The Ontogeny and Phylogeny of Second Language Phonology (Second Language Acquisition Research Series)
by Roy C. MajorEven though second-language learners may master the grammar and vocabulary of the new languages, they almost never achieve a native phonology (accent). Scholars and professionals dealing with second-language learners would agree that this is one of the most persistent challenges they face. Now, for the first time, Roy Major's Foreign Accent covers the exploding scholarship in this area and lays out the issues specifically for audiences in the second language acquisition and applied linguistics community.
