Résistances, mobilisations et contestations: L’Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario (1910-2006) (Amérique française)
by Michel Bock et Yves FrenetteL’Association canadienne-française de l’Ontario (ACFO) a été le principal porte-parole politique de la collectivité franco-ontarienne au XXe siècle. Cette analyse historique en six chapitres chronologiques va de la fondation de l’Association canadienne-française d’éducation d’Ontario (ACFEO) en 1910 jusqu’à sa disparition et son absorption par l’Assemblée de la francophonie de l’Ontario en 2006. De 1910 à 1927, l’Association joue un rôle déterminant dans la crise du Règlement 17, qui interdit l’enseignement en français dans les écoles de la province. De 1927-1969, l’ACFEO contribue activement à l’avancement de la cause des écoles françaises (ou « bilingues ») de l’Ontario. Entre 1969 et 1982, l’Association, devenue l’« ACFO », travaille aux progrès institutionnels de la collectivité franco-ontarienne, tout en essuyant des critiques, voire des dénonciations formulées par plusieurs groupes de militants animés par les idéologies contre-culturelle et participative alors en vogue. Entre 1982 et 1992, l’ACFO se redéfinit pour s’adapter à la transformation de l’espace politique de l’Ontario français, ainsi qu’à la fragmentation de son champ idéologique sous l’impulsion de plus en plus irrépressible des régionalismes identitaires et de l’arrivée de groupes ethnoculturels issus de l’immigration francophone. Les années 1992-2006 sont les dernières de l’ACFO, qui ne peut se relever de la crise de légitimité qui la mine depuis la fin des années 1970. Une fenêtre privilégiée sur les efforts de construction identitaire et politique de la francophonie ontarienne au XXe siècle. Publié en français
SLIFE: What Every Teacher Needs to Know
by Andrea DeCapuaSLIFE: What Every Teacher Needs to Know helps readers deepen their understanding of Students with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE). Because of their limited, greatly interrupted, or sometimes nonexistent participation in formal education, SLIFE face challenges in the classroom that go beyond language and content. Often SLIFE need to develop basic literacy skills and foundational subject-area knowledge, as well as to learn how to engage in the discourse and practices of formal educational settings. So what can teachers do to help these students succeed and to recognize and honor their knowledge, skills, and cultural capital? SLIFE: What Every Teacher Needs to Know centers around four guidelines for teaching SLIFE: question assumptions, foster two-way communication, explicitly teach school tasks and academic ways of thinking, and promote project-based learning. Discussion of the Mutually Adaptive Learning Paradigm (MALP), is also included.
STEM Play: Integrating Inquiry into Learning Centers

Samuel Butler against the Professionals: Rethinking Lamarckism 1860-1900
by David GillottIn the wake of the 2009 Darwin bicentenary, Samuel Butler (1835-1902) is becoming as well known for his public attack on Darwin's character and the basis of his scientific authority as for his novels Erewhon and The Way of All Flesh. In the first monograph devoted to Butler's ideas for over twenty years, David Gillott offers a much-needed reappraisal of Butler's work and shows how Lamarckian ideas pervaded the whole of Butler's wide-ranging ouevre, and not merely his evolutionary theory. In particular, he argues that Lamarckism was the foundation on which Butler's attempt to undermine professional authority in a variety of disciplines was based. Samuel Butler against the Professionals provides new insight into a fascinating but often misunderstood writer, and on the surprisingly broad application of Lamarckian ideas in the decades following publication of the Origin of Species.

Sanskrit Grammar
by William Dwight WhitneyAs Latin is key to the study of Western classics, so Sanskrit is the gateway to understanding ancient Indian literature. One of the few Sanskrit grammars currently available, this meticulously researched and thoughtfully assembled guide to the language's basics will prove valuable to students of Indian culture and history.Focusing on the fundamentals of Sanskrit as revealed in literary classics, the text follows the forms and constructions of the older language, as exhibited in the Veda and the Brahamana. It begins with an introduction to the Sanskrit alphabet, followed by a treatment of the accent -- its changes in combination and inflection, and the tone of the individual worlds. Succeeding chapters discuss declension, conjugation, parts of speech, and formation of compound stems. A helpful appendix, Sanskrit index, and general index conclude the text.
