Book Description
Deeper learning, dialogic learning, and critical thinking are essential capabilities in the 21st-century environments we now operate. Apart from being important in themselves, they are also crucial in enabling the acquisition of many other 21st-century skills/capabilities such as problem solving, collaborative learning, innovation, information and media literacy, and so on. However, the majority of teachers in schools and instructors in higher education are inadequately prepared for the task of promoting deeper learning, dialogic learning, and critical thinking in their students. This is despite the fact that there are educational researchers who are developing and evaluating strategies for such promotion. The problem is bridging the gap between the educational researchers’ work and what gets conveyed to teachers and instructors as evidence-based, usable strategies. This book addresses that gap: in it, leading scholars from around the world describe strategies they have developed for successfully cultivating students’ capabilities for deeper learning and transfer of what they learn, dialogic learning and effective communication, and critical thought. They explore connections in the promotion of these capabilities, and they provide, in accessible form, research evidence demonstrating the efficacy of the strategies. They also discuss answers to the questions of how and why the strategies work. A seminal resource, this book creates tangible links between innovative educational research and classroom teaching practices to address the all-important question of how we can realize our ideals for education in the 21st century. It is a must read for pre-service and in-service teachers, teacher educators and professional developers, and educational researchers who truly care that we deliver education that will prepare and serve students for life.

Book Description
A National Book Award Finalist, this remarkable graphic novel is about growing up in a refugee camp, as told by a former Somali refugee to the Newbery Honor-winning creator of Roller Girl. Omar and his younger brother, Hassan, have spent most of their lives in Dadaab, a refugee camp in Kenya. Life is hard there: never enough food, achingly dull, and without access to the medical care Omar knows his nonverbal brother needs. So when Omar has the opportunity to go to school, he knows it might be a chance to change their future . . . but it would also mean leaving his brother, the only family member he has left, every day. Heartbreak, hope, and gentle humor exist together in this graphic novel about a childhood spent waiting, and a young man who is able to create a sense of family and home in the most difficult of settings. It's an intimate, important, unforgettable look at the day-to-day life of a refugee, as told to New York Times Bestselling author/artist Victoria Jamieson by Omar Mohamed, the Somali man who lived the story.

Book Description
«Discovering Omar is a novel that presents us, through its 14 chapters, that no dichotomy is arbitrary. This agile and entertaining novel shows us the life of Omar, an attractive Physical Education teacher who, despite having a fairly normal life (a good job, a girlfriend and a family), has a particular addiction: providing pleasure. Throughout the pages we are discovering a character who, at first, is sure who he is but, throughout the plot, he is filled with questions that undermine all his premises ».Based on the idea of Michel Foucault, specifically of his work "History of sexuality", that the mechanisms of power are directed to sex, body and life, "Discovering Omar", proposes in its plot, show how these Mechanisms act through the stereotype of masculinity, (and in a certain way of femeneity, the hairdresser as a scenario in this novel is a grandiloquent symbol of this constant) and in turn contradict the binarist schemes of sexuality. (The relationship between Omar Santibañez and Mateo Dabenne and the relationship between Eugenia and Alicia are symptomatic in this regard). From a diegetic narrator, with a partial mastery of the narrative planes, the story is built quickly and refinement creating an emotional atmosphere quite achieved throughout the novel. The macabre plan of the mother of the protagonist, Amanda Goic and the complicity of her friend and partner Yolanda Barrera allows the drama of the central character, Omar Santibañez to emerge in the very limits of the male identity. Situation of the mother who forced him to change the course of life, abandoned his commitment to marry Anriette and his labor camp as a physical education teacher in a Providencia high school. The same Discoteque Fausto, the place prohibited and interdicted for all, will be the scene where carnivally mother and son will be naked and faced with the deep reality of each one and where the mechanics of the simulation will finally cease for both. (Omar systematically denied his scort status in front of his mother). Both were finally victims of the same mechanics. The unconscious, the repression, the desire, the Oedipus, could also be pointed out in the conformation of the subject behind the character of Omar Sàntibañez, certain dialectical forms of power masked under oppressive love are also features of the protagonist's mother, but to reduce the reading of this novel under a psychocritical perspective is to deny it the aesthetic and structural value it possesses. It would also not be fair not to place our young author in the line of Chilean writers such as Pablo Simonetti, Carlos Iturra and Mauricio Wacquez. "Discovering Omar" is, in short, a novel that captures the attention of the reader, and a reinvindication of more than one gender literature, but at the same time is a criticism of historical conventions, parameters and male stereotypes imposed by a consumer society.

Book Description
This book, first published in 1931, shows in a simple, sound and lucid manner how the genius of two poets (Omar Khayyam and FitzGerald) brought together by the genius of an Orientalist (Professor Cowell) culminated in a very strange, very beautiful and profound English poem. This book is concerned with the genuineness of the verses ascribed to Omar Khayyam, and consists of a comparison of the original Arabic, a paraphrase, and FitzGerald’s first and fourth editions.
