Product Description

Learning how to learn is an essential preparation for lifelong learning. This book offers a set of in-service resources to help teachers develop new classroom practices informed by sound research. It builds on previous work associated with ‘formative assessment’ or ‘assessment for learning’. However, it adds an important new dimension by taking account of the conditions within schools that are conducive to the promotion, in classrooms, of learning how to learn as an extension of assessment for learning. Among the materials included you will find:

• an introductory in-service session
• self-evaluation questionnaires
• an action planning activity
• workshops
• tools for school development
• a network mapping activity
• guidance about different ways of using the resources
• teachers descriptions of ways they have used of adapted them
• references to further information and advice.

In addition, there is a support website and examples of how individual schools have used or adapted these materials to maximize their benefits.

Product Description
Photography has become an increasingly pervasive medium of choice in contemporary art practice and is even employed at times by artists who do not necessarily consider themselves to be photographers. How did this come to be? The Last Picture Show will address the emergence of this phenomenon of artists using photography by tracing the development of conceptual trends in postwar photographic practice from its first glimmerings in the 60s in the work of artists such as Bernd & Hilla Becher, Ed Ruscha and Bruce Nauman, to its rise to art-world prominence in the work of the artists of the late 70s and early 80s including Sherrie Levine, Richard Prince and Cindy Sherman.Intended as a major genealogy of the rise of a still-powerful and evolving photographic practice by artists, the checklist will include a wide array of works examining a range of issues: performativity and photographic practice; portraiture and cultural identity; the formal and social architectonics of the built environment; societal and individual interventions in the landscape; photography's relationship to sculpture and painting; the visual mediation of meaning in popular culture; and the poetic and conceptual investigation of visual non-sequiturs, disjunctions and humorous absurdities. Bringing together a newly commissioned body of scholarship with reprints of important historical texts, The Last Picture Show seeks to define the legacy that has produced a rich body of photographic practice in the art world today.Pictures by Vito Acconci, Bas Jan Ader, Giovani Anselmo, John Baldessari, Bernd & Hilla Becher, Joseph Beuys, Mel Bochner, Christian Boltanski, Marcel Broodthaers, Sarah Charlesworth, Bruce Conner, Jan Dibbets, Valie Export, Peter Fischli &David Weiss, Hans-Peter Feldmann, Gilbert & George, Dan Graham, Douglas Huebler, Yves Klein, Imi Knoebel, Sylvia Kolbowski, Barbara Kruger, David Lamelas, Sherrie Levine, Sol Lewitt, Richard Long, Gordon Matta Clark, Ana Mendietta, Mario Merz, Nasreen Mohamedi, Bruce Nauman, Hélio Oiticica, Dennis Oppenheim, Giuseppe Penone, Giulio Paolini, Sigmar Polke, Adrian Piper, Richard Prince, Charles Ray, Gerhard Richter, Ed Ruscha, Cindy Sherman, Laurie Simmons, Robert Smithson, Ger van Elk, Jeff Wall, Andy Warhol, William Wegman, James Welling and Hannah WilkeEdited by Douglas Fogle.~Essays by Douglas Fogle, Kate Bush, Richard Flood, Geoffrey Batchen, Stefan Gronnert and Pamela Lee. ~Foreword by Kathy Halbreich.Hardcover, 8 x 10.5 in./304 pgs / 160 color 40 BW0 duotone 0 ~ Item D20188 ...

Product Description
There are many sacred writings which were not included in the Bible, due to space and philosophical considerations by the Ecumenical Council. While classified differently, depending on the type of study, these books are often referred to collectively as The Apocrypha. They are also sometimes described as Pseudepigrapha.

"Secret Biblical Apocrypha - Volume 2" contains new and accepted translations of three of the most important major books specifically censored from the final version of the Bible. Each book has a new and updated translation, while preserving the ancient structure and meaning.

This edition contains a linked table of contents to each book, as well as internal tables for each chapter, including:

The Books of Adam and Eve (1 and 2)
The Book of Enoch (with introduction by R.H. Charles)
The Lost Gospel of Peter (fragment)

Also, don't miss the first volume in this important series:
"Secret Biblical Apocrypha - Volume 1: Esdras, Tobit, Judith, Esther, Wisdom of Solomon, Susanna, Baruch, Daniel, Prayer of Manasseh, Maccabees". ... Read more

Product Description
SOULSEARCHERS AND COMPANY is the adventures of a semi-competent band of super-powered ghostbusters in a town which could probably profit from a higher level of competence in their psychic investigators: Mystic Grove, Connecticut--also known as FEAR CITY. The Soulsearchers group consists of: Bridget Lockridge, a former Olympic athlete; Baraka, a lecherous fire demon from an Arabic Hell; Kelly Hollister, an apprentice witch; Janocz, a gypsy boy who can transfigure himself into monster forms; Peter P. Peterson, an accountant who can (and does) pull whatever's necessary out of his magic bag; and business founder Arnold Stanley, who--through a fateful accident--is now a talking, ranting, swearing contentious prairie dog. SOULSEARCHERS AND COMPANY is the brainchild of award-winning scripter Peter David and Claypool Editor Richard Howell. The first run of issues were pencilled by Amanda Conner ("Painkiller Jane," "Vampirella," "The Pro") and inked by Jim ("Spider-Man," "Supergirl") Mooney. The narrative includes super-hero action, supernatural horror, parody, satire, character comedy, and romantic screwball farce. This riotously funny collection features work from the first six issues of Claypool's much-hailed comedy/adventure series, nominated by the British Comics Professionals Society as Best Humor Comic. This volume also includes the three three-page "teaser" promotional featurettes which appeared in the backs of other Claypool series such as "Phantom of Fear City," "Deadbeats," and "Elvira? Mistress of the Dark?."This material had initial low circulation and is in high demand today. This volume includes: "Puppet Dictatorship!" featuring the mad marionettist the Grand Guignol and his Pinocchio Patrol; "Pastramia On Wry!" which introduces Janocz; "Season of Misseds!" the war between the dream demons (a parody of the popular comics series "Sandman"); "Death and?!" in which the group is subjected to a bizarre audit; "Into the Woods!" brings new, odd twists to fairy-tale themes; and "Spin Cycle!" in which the Soulsearcers get an infernal makeover (a parody of the well-known company Image Comics). ...

Great Fun!
SOULSEARCHERS COMPANY, written by the award-winning Peter David (and Richard Howell). The Soulsearchers are a screwball team of
psychic investigators. The adventures usually have a satirical slant, but can be serious, too. Sometimes at the same time. I deliberately use the term "screwball," because the
interaction between the male lead (a fire demon from an Arabic Hell) and the female lead (a former olympic athlete, with a magic vaulting pole . . . no, really) is reminiscent of
the old screwball comedies: witty, barbed, and very funny dialogue. Any comics fan with a sense of history will recognize the artists: Dave Cockrum and Jim Mooney. Need I
