Sinopse

In "The Chronicles of the Old West," Emerson Hough presents an enthralling collection of four historical narratives that meticulously explore the vibrant and often tumultuous saga of the American West. Employing a richly evocative literary style characterized by vivid descriptions and authentic dialogue, Hough captures the essence of frontier life, from the rugged landscapes to the complex, often harsh realities faced by its inhabitants. Each narrative interweaves historical facts with imaginative storytelling, providing readers not just with facts but a visceral experience of the past that echoes the tumult of westward expansion and the myriad cultures it encountered. Emerson Hough, a prominent author and journalist of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, drew upon his own experiences and deep fascination with the American frontier to craft this compelling volume. A tireless traveler, Hough lived among the very landscapes he wrote about, infusing his narratives with authenticity and insight. His works often reflect the tensions of American identity and the moral complexities of conquest and settlement, themes that resonate deeply within the context of his era and continue to captivate modern readers. "The Chronicles of the Old West" is an essential read for anyone seeking to understand the intricate tapestry of American history and culture. Hough's meticulous research and engaging prose create an immersive experience that brings history to life, making it a perfect companion for historians, students, and general readers alike who wish to delve into the wild, formative years of the American West.

    In a world where stress is unavoidable—where political turmoil, pandemic fallout, and personal challenges touch everyone—this book offers guidance for cutting through the emotional static that can hold teachers back. A specialist in pedagogical strategies with extensive classroom experience, Elizabeth A. Norell explains how an educator's presence, or authenticity, can be critical to creating transformational spaces for students. And presence, she argues, means uncovering and understanding one's own internal struggles and buried insecurities—stresses often left unconfronted in an academic culture that values knowing over feeling. Presenting the research on how and why such inner work unlocks transformational learning, The Present Professor equips educators with the tools for crafting a more authentic presence in their teaching work. 
     
     
     
    At a time of crisis in higher education, as teachers struggle to find new ways to relate to, think about, and instruct students, this book holds a key. Implementing more inclusive pedagogies, Norell suggests, requires sorting out our own identities. In short, if we want to create spaces where students have the confidence, comfort, and psychological safety to learn and grow, we have to create spaces where we do, too. The Present Professor is dedicated to that proposition, and to helping educators build that transformational space.

    The practices and values in the United States educational system position linguistically, culturally, and socioeconomically diverse children and families at a disadvantage. BIPOC dropout rates and levels of stress and anxiety have linked with non-inclusive school environments. In this collection, three educators draw on their experiences as immigrants and educators to address racial inequity in the classroom and provide a thorough analysis of different strategies that create an inclusive classroom. White educators that serve BIPOC students will benefit from these reflections on incorporating culturally relevant pedagogies that value the diverse experiences of students. 
     
     
     
    With a focus on Haitian and Dominican students in the United States, the authors reveal the challenges that immigrant and first-generation students face. They also offer insights about topics such as: 
     
     
     
    ● How do language policies and social justice intersect? 
     
     
     
    ● How can educators use culturally relevant teaching and community funds of knowledge to enrich curriculum? 
     
     
     
    ● How can educators center the needs of the student within the classroom? 
     
     
     
    ● How can educators support Haitian Creole-speaking students?

    Discover the Lost Secrets of the Ancients and the Time When Stones Floated High over Egypt   Throughout history, folklore, and mystery, tales have circulated of massive stones being moved through the air effortlessly by sound. Bizarre? Well, yes, it is. That doesn't take away the fact that sound was, and still remains, the key to the construction of the pyramids of Egypt, Stonehenge, the stone figures of Easter Island, and the massive stones at Baalbek, Lebanon. Were they the work of ancient humans or of equally ancient extraterrestrials?How Antigravity Built the Pyramids delves into specific stories and theories:• A 9th-century story of a mysterious papyrus with the power to move large stones at the Giza Necropolis • The Mayan story of the construction of the Pyramid of the Magician said to be overseen by a small humanoid who could whistle large stones into place • Native American stories of ancient priests being able to make stones light to move easily    Author Nick Redfern argues it was not literally music and whistling that somehow raised large stones, but both have one thing in common: sound. Acoustics. Almost certainly, acoustic levitation was at the heart of these incredible feats. The truth of the science behind acoustic levitation was lost and forgotten for ages with little more left than fanciful tales of music, whistles, a curious papyrus, and strange metal rods that could achieve incredible feats in the air. Today, we are finally starting to get a grasp on this incredible technology, a technology that may have been the work of ancient humans, aliens from faraway worlds—or, perhaps, a combination of the two.
