In August 2020, Rappler, the Philippines' leading news website, became the new home of Nepales' beloved column, "Only IN Hollywood." Media praise for "Through a Writer's Lens": "This book is a great showcase for the photography and reporting talents of Ruben Nepales. With both, he finds the perfect moment to showcase these individuals, and Hollywood in general." Tim Gray, Variety "A stunning collection of works, both photographic and textual." Nestor Cuartero, Manila Bulletin "Behind these celebrity revelations in pictures and words, this book spotlights what is obvious - Ruben is a superb interviewer with that most sought after skill: the ability to make his subjects feel relaxed and safe in his presence, the better to draw out their real selves." Gemma Nemenzo, Positively Filipino "Beautiful...The photos themselves offer a different, more casual side of the stars." Momar Visaya, Asian Journal "Unwitting snapshots, cinematic quotes..." Emmie Velarde, Rappler "Gorgeous...It is this homegrown sensitivity and time-honed artistic impulse that have enabled Ruben to catch Meryl Streep in a seldom-seen playful mood, visually immortalize the delightful raconteurs concealed by Ian McKellen and Judi Dench's much-revered screen personas, and bring out the natural charisma that makes George Clooney, Michael Fassbender and Oscar Isaac tick."

It's vital that we support young children's reading in ways that nurture healthy reading identities, that foster an attraction to books and a love of reading, and that teach them how make meaning in any text they choose, whether or not they can read the words. -Kathy Collins and Matt Glover What do we see when young children interact with books before they can read the words? Kathy Collins and Matt Glover see real reading, characterized by purposeful meaning-making and opportunities for reading growth and language development. "One of our biggest hopes," write Kathy and Matt, "is to help you see and value all of the powerful work young children do as readers." With I Am Reading you'll see that fostering what little ones do before they can read the words is important early instruction. Kathy and Matt show how to nurture, nudge, and instruct young readers to make meaning in any text, whether or not they are reading the words. They share: observation guides for children reading any kind of book specific descriptions of language and independence development sample reading conferences and whole-class minilessons suggestions for creating reading opportunities in preschool and reading workshops in K-1 action plans to get you going 25 online video clips of children making meaning and teachers supporting them. I Am Reading pairs two important voices in early literacy to remind us that we're teaching children, not reading levels. "In the rush toward ever higher reading levels in the early years," write Kathy and Matt, "we may fail to value the strategy use and high-level thinking children do before they are reading conventionally." Join Kathy and Matt and look anew at your young readers so you can provide the kind of support that gets them off to a great start.

Through the Lens

Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 152
Book Description
2020 was a period of groundbreaking social and political upheaval, in combination with a colossal epidemiological crisis—and it urgently redefined the working conditions of photojournalists. The historic 2020 Black Lives Matter protests and the devastating Covid-19 pandemic presented unique challenges for photojournalism, forcing photographers into a terrain defined by new ethical, technological, and safety (emotional and physical) concerns, as well as innovative attacks on press freedom. Through a series of interviews—with top photographers who covered 2020’s biggest crises, as well as key photo editors who grappled with these unprecedented obstacles inside the newsroom—Through the Lens: The Pandemic and Black Lives Matter unpacks the industry’s most critical debates as it sheds light on the experiences and thought processes of the visual journalists themselves. Importantly, this book encourages readers to consider the efforts behind the camera lens: the challenges and risks visual journalists face to bring us the news in pictures. Richly illustrated with evocative photos, Through the Lens is a timely and vital look at the role photojournalism serves in a world of crisis. It is a powerful follow-up to Lauren Walsh’s previous title, Conversations on Conflict Photography, which offers a crucial exploration of the visual documentation of war and humanitarian crisis.

Book Description
We may see Planet Earth as an unchanging, timeless home for mankind, yet in the past century mankind has changed Planet Earth in profound and dangerous ways. In Through the Lens of Reality, Minnesota author Jerry Rabe offers his keen insight on the unique challenges we all now face--the population explosion, global warming, and energy needs; our nation's troubled financial affairs; and the realization that a billion people on Planet Earth struggle to survive while trapped in abject poverty. "I am acutely aware that I am a very small voice in a vast desert," Rabe writes. "Yet [I hope] that every parent, every politician, and everyone who cares about human existence reads this book, because I believe it contains a message that is essential to the survival of society as we now know it." Rabe's message is one of "hope and love and possibilities," but it's also a disturbing message; it is, he cautions us, "an all-important wake-up call... about you and me and our future. ..."
