by Megan Sumeracki Cynthia Nebel Carolina Kuepper-Tetzel Althea Need KaminskeWe know students have more to learn than ever before and there is a lot of pressure to perform well on tests, demonstrating superior learning.

Acelerando o Passo
by Desenvolvimento HumanoO restabelecimento do crescimento económico que se tem registado por toda a África Subsariana (ASS) desde o início do milénio constitui um desenvolvimento encorajador. Sustentá-lo para sempre é não só uma necessidade mas também um desafio de primeira ordem. Num mundo globalizado, a chave do sucesso económico reside, cada vez mais, no grau de eficácia com que um país consegue assimilar o conhecimento disponível e desenvolver vantagem comparativa em áreas seleccionadas com boas perspectivas de desenvolvimento. Aumentar a relevância da educação terciária e da investigação na África Austral permitirá à Região aumentar a sua vantagem comparativa alargando as fronteiras da tecnologia através de inovação, estimular a diversificação de produtos e serviços, e maximizar os retornos de bens de capital com uma mais eficiente alocação e gestão de recursos. Os países africanos registaram grandes avanços na aquisição de altos níveis de literacia e no aumento das matrículas no ensino primário, um progresso que cria alicerces para desenvolvimento futuro. Agora é necessário que avancem rapidamente para a aquisição de qualificaçães e especializaçães de nível superior que lhes permitam acrescentar valor à s actividades económicas existentes e lançar-se em novas indústrias e serviços. 'Acelerando o Passo: Educação Terciária para Crescimento Económico na África Subsariana' apresenta em detalhe argumentos para um maior crescimento do conhecimento intensivo, solicitando uma maior atenção à educação secundária e, principalmente, à educação pós-secundária. Nele se demonstra por que razão os sistemas de ensino superior da África Subsariana deverão procurar um maior alinhamento com as estratégias nacionais de desenvolvimento económico e redução da pobreza, e se identificam os benefícios que poderão associar-se a essa mudança de perspectiva. Será, pois, um livro do maior interesse para organizaçães internacionais, governos, instituiçães de pesquisa e universidades de toda a região.

Acetylene Torch Songs provides that spark for memoirists and essayists seeking mentor-based instruction and inspiration.

She encourages craftiness as well as craft and urges writers to embark on emotional quests in pursuit of their art. Acetylene Torch Songs uniquely illustrates how the writer&’s imaginative spirit comes alive on the page through metaphor, literary masks, sensory memories, voice, obsessions, and more. This holistic approach to writing emphasizes how the creative process brings together the heart, mind, and senses to illuminate the human condition through language. Featuring a personal essay in each chapter, Silverman uses her own work to model a specific concept or approach, demonstrating how obsessions, secrets, and memories can burn on the page. Through guided prompts, worksheets, checklists, publishing advice, personal essays, and strategies, Silverman encourages writers to find the confidence and courage to write stories that reach beyond the page through their intimacy, social engagement, and honesty.
