The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve - Stephen Greenblatt

Selected as a book of the year 2017 by The Times and Sunday TimesWhat is it about Adam and Eve’s story that fascinates us? What does it tell us about how our species lives, dies, works or has sex?The mythic tale of Adam and Eve has shaped conceptions of human origins and destiny for centuries. Stemming from a few verses in an ancient book, it became not just the foundation of three major world faiths, but has evolved through art, philosophy and science to serve as the mirror in which we seem to glimpse the whole, long history of our fears and desires. In a quest that begins at the dawn of time, Stephen Greenblatt takes us from ancient Babylonia to the forests of east Africa. We meet evolutionary biologists and fossilised ancestors; we grapple with morality and marriage in Milton’s Paradise Lost; and we decide if the Fall is the unvarnished truth or fictional allegory.

Black Students Matter - April D. Duncan

From slavery in the 19th century to racial disparities in school discipline that push them into the juvenile justice system, historically Black children have been denied a childhood. While schools are tough on Black children, Black caregivers often use "tough love" to prepare them for the world they will encounter. But if everyone is tough on Black children, who is gentle with them? Who allows them to be children? This book helps mental health professionals understand how racism, prejudice and discrimination contribute to mental health and behavioral issues in Black students that lead to high rates of school discipline, also known as the Preschool-to-Prison Pipeline. It explores how bias shapes the way the behaviors and moods of Black children are often misinterpreted and punished through unfair and subjective disciplinary methods. Mental health professionals are challenged to advocate for the mental health needs of Black students by using play therapy to engage caregivers, teachers, and administrators in providing culturally responsive support and nurturance to enhance their relationships with Black children. Using music, art, sand, and other expressive therapies, the book provides over 30 unique interventions for Black students of all ages to heal from racial trauma. The activities allow Black children ... Unknown localization key: "more"

The Lives of Images, Vol. II: Analogy, Attunement, and Attention

The Lives of Images, edited by Stanley Wolukau-Wanambwa, is a set of contemporary thematic readers designed for educators, students, practicing photographers, and others interested in the ways images function within a wider set of cultural practices. The series tracks the many movements and “lives” of images—their tendency to accumulate, circulate, and transform through different geographies, cultures, processes, institutions, states, uses, and times. Volume 2 in this series, Analogy, Attunement, and Attention, addresses the complex relationships that the reproducible image creates with its viewers, their bodies, their minds, and their sense of the physical and metaphysical world. The selection addresses the image’s role in the social constitution of individual and collective identity, in social practices of resistance to the structural violences of racism, or in relation to state exercises of power. Of particular importance in this volume are questions of our changing relationship to space and to selfhood as mediated by the image and by the many networked technologies and norms built around it. Essays in the volume ask: what modes of attention are required of us as viewers and agents of image circulation? The question of how image technologies provide us with an array of freedoms is here combined with ... Unknown localization key: "more"
