  The Color of Civics - Civic...

  Generations of Americans have regarded schools as essential for developing the knowledge and civic values necessary for sustaining democracy. Yet, as Matthew D. Nelsen argues in The Color of Civics, traditional approaches to civic education are not living up to their promise for many students, particularly students of color from disadvantaged communities. 
   
   
   
  Drawing on lessons from students and teachers in Chicago, The Color of Civics reimagines the democratic purpose of civic education. Nelsen's findings challenge some of the most widely cited civic education research, arguing that the content of traditional civic education courses privileges the political experiences of white political actors, and in turn, contributes to divergent political behaviors and participatory outcomes across racial and ethnic groups. He presents a new approach to civic education that aims to foster political empowerment by centering historically-grounded conversations about current events as well as critical categories of knowledge—those that highlight the agency of marginalized groups. This approach increases rates of political participation among young people of color and heightens political empathy among white youth. Nelsen also explores how the attitudes and lived experiences of teachers drive the implementation of more empowering civic learning environments.

  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  Rihanna, born Robyn Rihanna Fenty, is a Barbadian singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. Her career began after her demo was heard by Jay Brown, an A&R executive at Def Jam Recordings. She auditioned for Jay-Z and L.A. Reid, signing with Def Jam and releasing her debut album, Music of the Sun, in 2005. Her third album, Good Girl Gone Bad, marked a shift to a more edgy image. In her career, Rihanna has experimented with pop, dubstep, and rock. She has achieved numerous chart records, awards, and has become a pop and fashion icon. Rihanna has also established herself as a successful businesswoman with brands like Fenty Beauty and Savage X Fenty. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  Rihanna's full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty, and she was born in Saint Michael, Barbados on February 20, 1988. Her mother is Afro-Guyanese, and her father is Barbadian with African, Irish, English, and Scottish ancestry. 
    
  As a child, Rihanna suffered from intense headaches, leading doctors to suspect a tumor. Her health improved after her parents divorced when she was 14 years old. 
    
  Before becoming a singer, Rihanna was a cadet in Barbados's Cadet Corps, where her drill sergeant was the later Barbadian singer-songwriter Shontelle. She initially wanted to graduate high school but chose to pursue a music career instead. 
    
  Rihanna's debut single, "Pon de Replay," was chosen because it was deemed the best song for a summer release. It reached the top five in fifteen countries and became a club hit in the U.S.

  Eggs are the origins of ninety percent of the Earth's organisms. They can be found as far apart as deep-sea volcanoes and in space. Yet despite their fundamental importance, eggs often find themselves an afterthought in the discussion of evolution of life on Earth as the interests of scientists congregate around the things that emerge from eggs rather than the eggs themselves. 
   
   
   
  In Infinite Life, Jules Howard explains—with great passion, authority, expertise, and infectious enthusiasm—why it's time to give eggs their moment in the spotlight: it is the eggs that can teach us new and surprising lessons about Earth's history, the trials of life, and the exceptional ways in which natural selection operates to propagate the survival of individual species. 
   
   
   
  Infinite Life: The Revolutionary Story of Eggs, Evolution, and Life on Earth, offers a wholly new perspective on the animal kingdom, and, indeed, life on Earth. By examining eggs from their earliest histories to the very latest fossilized discoveries—encompassing the myriad changes and mutations of eggs from the evolution of yolk, to the hard eggshells of lost dinosaurs, to the animals that have evolved to simultaneously give birth to eggs and live young—Howard reveals untold stories of great diversity and majesty to shed light on the huge impact that egg science has on our lives.
