Edge
by Diane TullsonSometimes a good kid is drawn into a bad crowd. Sometimes a bad crowd goes over the edge. Even with friends, high school can be a nightmare. But without them, a person's just prey for those who live to torment the unpopular. That's why Marlie Peters is relieved when she's invited to hang out with a new group of people - even if they are all outcasts like her. Together, at least, they make a less vulnerable target. A few people in her new crowd seem okay, but soon the others begin to scare her. Sick of being tormented and bullied, they've decided to get back at the rest of the school by playing a vicious practical joke. Marlie doesn't find the joke at all funny, but even worse, she suspects the punch line could be deadly.

Edification in the Chinese Philosophy of Confucianism (Key Concepts in Chinese Thought and Culture)
by Jinglin LiThis pivot focuses on “the concept of edification” in a bid to systematically expound its connotative structure and logical evolution. It is divided into ten chapters, embracing various issues, such as human nature as the foundation of edification, the development of edification and cultivation, the evolution of edification and the resultant life based on ritual and music, the political orientation and ultimate care of edification, and the nurturing of social edification, in an effort to offer a panoramic view of the intellectual features of Confucianism, and consequently a profound reflection on the cultural consciousness of contemporary China. The book is expected to satisfy the needs for a better understanding of edification as a Confucian concept, and the conceptual features of Chinese philosophy, or rather, Confucianism.
Editing and Special/Visual Effects
by Kristen Whissel Dana Polan Ariel Rogers Scott Higgins Julie Turnock Tanine Allison Paul Monticone Dan North Professor Deron Overpeck Benjamin Wright Meraj Dhir Lisa Purse Professor Charlie KeilMost moviegoers think of editing and special effects as distinct components of the filmmaking process. We might even conceive of them as polar opposites, since effective film editing is often subtle and almost invisible, whereas special effects frequently call attention to themselves. Yet, film editors and visual effects artists have worked hand-in-hand from the dawn of cinema to the present day. Editing and Special/Visual Effects brings together a diverse range of film scholars who trace how the arts of editing and effects have evolved in tandem. Collectively, the contributors demonstrate how these two crafts have been integral to cinematic history, starting with the "trick films" of the early silent era, which astounded audiences by splicing in or editing out key frames, all the way up to cutting-edge effects technologies and concealed edits used to create the illusions. Throughout, readers learn about a variety of filmmaking techniques, from classic Hollywood's rear projection and matte shots to the fast cuts and wall-to-wall CGI of the contemporary blockbuster. In addition to providing a rich historical overview, Editing and Special/Visual Effects supplies multiple perspectives on these twinned crafts, introducing readers to the analog and digital tools used in each craft, showing the impact of changes in the film industry, and giving the reader a new appreciation for the processes of artistic collaboration they involve.

Edmond Holmes and Progressive Education
by John HowlettAlthough considered a figure of great importance and influence by his contemporaries, Edmond Holmes has been consigned to relative obscurity in the progressive educational tradition. This book reinstates Holmes as a key figure in the history of progressive education, both as a school inspector and educational thinker, who was instrumental in forming a set of ideas and principles which continue to resonate in education today. Combining biographical detail and key critical analysis, Edmond Holmes and Progressive Education brings together the key ideas and aspects of Holmes’ life and establishes his writings as amongst the most insightful ever produced by an educationalist. Throughout his inspectorial career, Holmes scorned mechanical obedience in the classroom and was appalled by the inability of teachers to allow pupils to express themselves freely and imaginatively. His seminal publications positioned him at the vanguard of educational reforms. His work, however, was not exclusively educational, and throughout his life Holmes published on religion, philosophy, poetry and literature, subsuming his educational viewpoint into a much wider ‘philosophy of life’. His spiritual leanings and call for an improved education system, which would draw out the potential for development from within the child, inspired successive generations of progressive educators. In studying Edmond Holmes in detail, this book makes an important contribution to current debates surrounding creativity and the curriculum, in particular, the need for alternative educational voices within the state system of regulation. This book will be key reading for postgraduate students and researchers who are interested in progressive education, the history of education and educational policy and politics.

Edmund J. James and the Making of the Modern University of Illinois, 1904-1920
by J. David Hoeveler Winton U SolbergIn 1904, Edmund J. James inherited the leadership of an educational institution in search of an identity. His sixteen-year tenure transformed the University of Illinois from an industrial college to a major state university that fulfilled his vision of a center for scientific investigation. Winton U. Solberg and J. David Hoeveler provide an account of a pivotal time in the university’s evolution. A gifted intellectual and dedicated academic reformer, James began his tenure facing budget battles and antagonists on the Board of Trustees. But as time passed, he successfully campaigned to address the problems faced by women students, expand graduate programs, solidify finances, create a university press, reshape the library and faculty, and unify the colleges of liberal arts and sciences. Combining narrative force with exhaustive research, the authors illuminate the political milieu and personalities around James to draw a vivid portrait of his life and times. The authoritative conclusion to a four-part history, Edmund J. James and the Making of the Modern University of Illinois, 1904–1920 tells the story of one man’s mission to create a university worthy of the state of Illinois.
Edmund and Rosemary Go to Hell
by Bruce Eric KaplanOne Sunday afternoon, an ordinary couple named Edmund and Rosemary decide to go for a walk in their Brooklyn neighborhood. Within moments, they are plunged into a wonderful, nerve-racking, hilarious, unique adventure that begins with a cell phone and ends in a jungle halfway around the world. In Edmund and Rosemary Go to Hell, famed New Yorker cartoonist Bruce Eric Kaplan uses his trademark incisive wit to explore what it is that prevents us from seeing all that we have. By turns wickedly funny and oddly touching, this provocative and ultimately hopeful picture book for adults will appeal to anyone who has ever been stuck in traffic or, more to the point, stuck inside themselves.

Edu.net: Globalisation and Education Policy Mobility
by Stephen J. Ball Carolina Junemann Diego SantoriEdu.net builds upon, and extends, a series of research studies of education policy networks and global policy mobilities. It draws on comprehensive data resulting from a Leverhulme Trust research study focused on Africa, and a study funded by the British Academy focused on India, which explored the way in which global actors and organisations bring policy ideas to bear and are joined up in a global education policy network. This timely and cutting-edge new work develops concepts, analyses and methods deployed in Education Plc (2008), Networks, New Governance and Education (2012) and Global Education Inc. (2012). The research is framed by an elaboration of Network Ethnography, an innovative method of policy research. Edu.net presents the substantive findings of the authors’ research by focusing on various kinds of policy movement – people, ideas, practices, methods, money. The book is about both global education policy and ways of researching policy in a global setting. It is an essential read for policy analysts, educational academic researchers and postgraduate education students alike.
Educability and Group Differences (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by Arthur JensenJensen is a controversial figure, largely for his conclusions based on his and other research regarding the causes of race based differences in intelligence and in this book he develops more fully the argument he formulated in his controversial Harvard Education Review article ‘How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?’. In a wide-ranging survey of the evidence he argues that measured IQ reveals a strong hereditary component and he argues that the system of education which assumes an almost wholly environmentalist view of the causes of group differences capitalizes on a relatively narrow category of human abilities. Since its original publication the controversy surrounding Jensen’s ideas has continued as successive generations of psychologists, scientists and policy-makers have grappled with the same issues.
Educability, Schools and Ideology (Routledge Library Editions: Education)
by John Ahier Michael FludeThe sociology of education has been at the forefront of new developments in sociological theory. This book examines and criticizes a number of these new developments and discusses some empirical work on issues of current concern. One of the few books that integrates radical and critical sociology into the field of education, it deals with the resultant difficulties. The topics covered include cultural deprivation, ideologies in education, classrooms, the teaching profession and the history of women’s education.

Educación sostenible
by César BonaPodríamos preguntarnos si este es el mundo que vamos a dejar a las futuras generaciones, pero este no es un libro sobre lo que va a pasar en el futuro, es un libro sobre el presente. La educación es la pieza clave para cuestiones tan actuales como la sostenibilidad o el cambio climático. Invitemos a niños y niñas a que sean los principales protagonistas de un cambio en el cual nosotros, adultos, tenemos que ser los primeros en creer. Así que demos el paso y sirvamos de ejemplo. Preguntémonos: «¿Qué puedo hacer yo?» y, sobre todo, «¿Qué podemos hacer juntos?» En casa, en la escuela, de forma individual y en grandes equipos. Pequeños gestos y acciones del día a día han de provocar ese cambio. Hemos de actuar, no por miedo a qué pasará si no lo hacemos sino porque con nuestras acciones estaremos respetando el lugar donde vivimos, nuestra casa. César Bona (Ainzón, Zaragoza, 1972). Maestro y escritor. Licenciado en Filología Inglesa y Diplomado en Magisterio en Lengua Extranjera por la Universidad de Zaragoza. «Las puertas de las escuelas han de estar abiertas, no solo para que entren los niños y las niñas sino para que sus ideas salgan y transformen el mundo». Pensamientos como este son los que le llevaron al Congreso Mundial por los Derechos de la Infancia, en el XXV Aniversario de la Convención de los Derechos del Niño. Por sus múltiples proyectos vinculados a la participación infantil recibió el Premio Magister de Honor por la Plataforma de la Escuela Pública, el Premio Crearte del Ministerio de Cultura en dos ocasiones por estimular la creatividad, así como también la Cruz José de Calasanz, máxima distinción en la educación aragonesa o el Premio Medio Ambiente Aragón 2013. Además, obtuvo la Mención de Honor en el International Children Film Festival of India, por la película de cine mudo The importance of being an Applewhite, que consiguió unir a dos familias que no se hablaban. Y tras dieciséis años de trayectoria, fue nominado como uno de los 50 mejores maestros del mundo según el Global Teacher Prize (2014). Ha formado parte del jurado de los premios Princesa de Asturias, en la categoría de Comunicación y Humanidades, en 2017, 2018 y 2019. Entresus libros destacan La nueva educación (2015), Las escuelas que cambian el mundo (2016), La emoción de aprender (2018) y Humanizar la educación (2021), libros que ahora sirven de referencia en muchas universidades. Además, para niños ha escrito Derechos y deberes de la Infancia (2019), El asombroso mundo de Bernardo (2018) y una adaptación del Quijote (2017).

Educación: la tragedia continúa
by Guillermo Jaim EtcheverryDos décadas después de la publicación de La tragedia educativa, Guillermo Jaim Etcheverry invita nuevamente a reflexionar sobre la educación en la Argentina, esta vez, prestando especial atención al efecto que los cambios sociales y tecnológicos han ejercido en nuestros niños y jóvenes. En 1999, Guillermo Jaim Etcheverry escribió un libro que se convertiría en clásico: La tragedia educativa, un lúcido diagnóstico de las causas del fracaso de nuestro sistema educativo. Al cabo de dos décadas y advirtiendo las profundas transformaciones que ha experimentado nuestra cultura ante el impacto de la revolución digital, considera oportuno invitar al lector a volver a acompañarlo en un viaje por la realidad de la educación actual. ¿Qué revelan las últimas evaluaciones de la calidad educativa? Los ejemplos familiares y sociales, ¿estimulan a los jóvenes a entusiasmarse con el estudio y la lectura? ¿Constituye un derecho de los niños el ser exigidos? ¿Cómo influye, en el proceso de aprendizaje, la pérdida de la capacidad de atención provocada por las tecnologías de la comunicación? ¿Es posible revertir la tragedia? En esta nueva aproximación al problema, que aún persiste, el autor actualiza estadísticas sobre cuestiones esenciales de la educación en nuestro país y analiza su relación con el mundo, enuncia estrategias para encarar cambios indispensables y sugiere una misión posible para la escuela de hoy.
