Book Description
Ethnographic inquiry serves as a unique educational resource that is accessible to students and teachers of all economic and social classes and therefore well suited to building democratic communities in the 21st Century. This book is about teachers, students and parents in the Republic of Kazakhstan who opened new educational directions and democratic possibilities for themselves through a series of ethnographic studies about their local communities. By unfolding practical experiences of teachers and students with ethnographic study, this book builds and expands understanding about education and democracy across five points of view: • Renewing professional development and building academic knowledge through ethnographic inquiry • Acquiring democratic living through ethnographic study of participatory, caring citizenship • Connecting democratic ways of life with ethnographic study of identity formation in diverse communities • Building knowledge about democratic perspectives through reflexive reading and writing about ethnographic inquiry • Building meaningful education at the intersections of ethnographic inquiry, literacy practices and theorizing about local communities The authors propose that teacher and student-led ethnographic inquiries develop educational experiences that enrich educators’ professional growth and provide innovative research opportunities for them and their students that generate up-to-date academic knowledge, which can be used to inform course offerings, design lessons and address state policy mandates.

Book Description
Believe Have you ever been caught between a rock and a hard place? I have. How did you triumph? I will tell you how I overcame; I learned to pray. God does hear and answer prayers. This book focuses majorly on the power of prayer and taking God’s words at face value. When you do not know what to do you should meditate upon the word of God and pray. Through the power of prayer I have overcome many obstacles. A prayer prayed in faith can cause strongholds to be torn down. As you will discover in this book, the prayer of faith can cause healing to come to the sick; it can break the chains of bondage; it can even stop funerals. The doctors sent me home to die when I was a toddler; but the prayer of faith stopped the funeral. The personal testimonies in this book are real. Prayer changes things. I dare you to believe God, stand still and then watch him change things. I challenge you to believe God without wavering and doubting. I know what prayer can do. I believe God and received from his hands. Cordell May Thorpe

Book Description
How does news circulate in a major post-industrial city? And how in turn are identities and differences formed and mediated through this circulation? This seminal work is the first to offer an empirical examination, and trace a city’s pattern of, news circulation. Encompassing a comprehensive range of practices involved in producing, circulating and consuming ‘news’ and recognizing the various ways in which individuals and groups may find out, follow and discuss local issues and events, The Mediated City critiques thinking that takes the centrality of certain news media as an unquestioned starting point. By doing so, it opens up a discussion: do we know what news is? What types of media constitute it? And why does it matter?

Book Description
When a bestselling novel fictionalizes the death of her childhood best friend—and accuses her of the murder—Petal Woznewski must figure out who wrote it and why. Truth and fiction collide in this captivating debut novel by Cayce Osborne. Petal Woznewski is content with her quiet, introverted life in New York City: she has her junk food, her movies, and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Gus. That peace is shattered when her name appears on the dedication page of an anonymously written thriller with a cryptic note: “I know what you did, Petal Woznewski. And now everyone else will, too.” As she reads, Petal realizes the story is rooted in a secret she buried thirty years earlier, when she was fourteen. A secret involving the tragic death of her friend, Megan. A secret that only one other person knows—their old friend, Jenny. Armed with a copy of the book and her own suspicions, Petal returns to her hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. There, she discovers more questions than answers. Jenny has disappeared, and Petal’s old high school crush, Ben, doesn’t know anything about the book—at least not anything he’s telling. As sinister clues pile up, and the thriller’s plot detours dangerously from the facts, Petal has no choice but to confront her past and solve the mystery of who wrote it—before her very real life ends as tragically as the novel.
