  For the fiftieth anniversary of his murder, this gritty, engrossing, definitive biography of the legendary Black writer Donald Goines—the Godfather of Urban Street Lit and "one of hip hop's greatest inspirations" (The Source Magazine)—is back. 
   
   
   
  Addict, thief, pimp, pusher, player—and most notably, groundbreaking writer. Donald Goines was all of these. 
   
   
   
  As a kid, Donald Goines was the product of a middle-class family. After high school, he joined the Air Force—and discovered the heroin that would rule the remainder of his life. On the streets, he turned to writing when he was straight enough to keep at it. He used the language of the streets and he wrote of its people. Goines's success was immediate and exciting. But eventually those same streets claimed him. He was murdered as he sat writing a new book. Yet his legacy continues, as a revolutionary in the literary world and also in music, with major hip-hop artists including 50 Cent, Nas, and Jay-Z all crediting Goines's novels as influences. Here is his complete story.

  Kids today can learn more from a five-minute YouTube video or AI chatbot than they can from a full day of lectures. So what then is our role as classroom teachers? 
   
  In this groundbreaking book, seasoned educator Kyle Wagner explains the new role of the teacher in the fourth industrial revolution. You will learn how to shift from being a deliverer of content, to a thoughtful designer and facilitator of student-centered learning experiences who gently guides from behind the scenes. Kyle, a veteran co-learning experience designer, former classroom teacher, and school leader, unpacks each of the twelve shifts required to build these student-centered environments. Chapters cover how to shift from a content-based to inquiry-based approach; develop relevant, interdisciplinary skills; cultivate meaningful student reflection; curate beautiful, real-world work; facilitate student-led discussion; and more. 
   
  Through stories from real student-centered classrooms around each shift, and anecdotes from the author's experience teaching and leading micro-academies, you will come away ready to unleash student creativity, build thoughtful inquirers, and develop self-directed learners within your own context.

  In terms of geopolitics, perhaps the most seminal event of the Middle Ages was the successful Ottoman siege of Constantinople in 1453. The city had been an imperial capital as far back as the 4th century, when Constantine the Great shifted the power center of the Roman Empire there, effectively establishing two almost equally powerful halves of antiquity’s greatest empire.  The fall of Constantinople is still well-known today, but the Ottoman Empire was already pushing into Europe beforehand, and it would take repeated efforts by various European coalitions to prevent a complete Ottoman takeover of the continent. At the time, the most powerful European countries in Eastern Europe and the Balkans were Poland and Hungary. Russia was still throwing off the Mongol yoke, France and England were fighting an interminable war, Germany was broken into hundreds of entities, and the Holy Roman Empire was fighting the rise of Protestantism. The Italian merchant city-states of Venice and Genoa were intimately tied to the Balkans, the Byzantine Empire, the Black Sea, and the Ottomans. Genoa had been something of an Ottoman ally since the 1300s, even while the Ottomans were looming as a grave threat to Europe. 
  	The Ottoman Sultan Murad II became known as the Ghazi Sultan and was seen as not only defending Islam against the Christians but also as a defender of other, less powerful Muslim beys. Thus, he gained support from Muslims both far and near before he turned his armies towards Venice, the Karamids, Serbia, and finally Hungary, which would get the Europeans’ attention. In the historic tradition that already dated back over 300 years, a crusade was called to stop the Ottomans, and the main battle would be fought near Varna, a fortified city on the Black Sea coast of what is now Bulgaria. The result would set into motion the Ottomans’ far more famous forays into Europe.
