Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Questo libro il risultato di una ricerca sull'esame nazionale di maturit (ENEM) in Brasile. Si ritenuto che questo esame faccia parte del gioco scolastico, in quanto gli agenti in questo campo si disputano le posizioni sociali, soggetti a regole, condizioni e strategie precedentemente stabilite. Comprendendo che l'obiettivo primario degli esami l'esclusione e che l'ENEM favorisce gli studenti delle classi privilegiate, abbiamo cercato di svelare i meccanismi attraverso i quali - con un'apparenza tecnica - l'esame legittimato a effettuare una selezione sociale. Per questo motivo, il presente lavoro svela i meccanismi del sistema scolastico brasiliano e il modo in cui avviene il processo di appropriazione del capitale culturale, essenziale per ottenere buoni risultati all'esame. Va notato che, sebbene l'ENEM sia un altro meccanismo di legittimazione delle disuguaglianze sociali, alcune politiche sociali legate all'esame hanno portato a un aumento delle opportunit di accesso all'istruzione superiore, il che ha anche rafforzato la sua legittimazione. Pertanto, sebbene questo gioco - di cui l'ENEM fa parte - non sia equo per le frazioni di classe pi povere, i loro studenti devono elaborare le strategie pi pertinenti per superarlo che le loro condizioni oggettive consentono.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The winter Bride wears diamonds. To those down below, she appears to be sleeping, locked inside a chastity belt of cold. She naps lightly behind the veil of ice and snow, letting it shield her from the sun and throw it back into the sky. But her chill is only skin deep. Inside her hidden folds and caves and recesses, the heartbeat of her lives and breathes and curls around the seeds of what willbe. The winter Bride is pregnant, gestating the future, smiling quietly at the snores of the bears and the mountain lions, allowing all of the fertile places to swell and burgeon with the life that is to come. The winter Bride is holding a flood in deposit for the sun's withdrawal in spring. This is the canvas on which Amy Hale Auker paints the lives of her characters. Shiney, the ranch owner; Monte, the foreman; Rafe, the old hand; Jody, the new hand; Blake and Brenna, who can't seem to grow up even though they have a houseful of children. These, and many more, are waiting to show you how they live, love, work, and play in the shadow of the Bride. Auker's writing is extraordinary, as evidenced by these reviews of her award-winning Rightful Place: Her focus is sharp and discerning, intimate and clear - so refreshing that her writing transcends the contemporary cattle-culture and her harsh Texas landscape to become a template for creating a richer life. John Dofflemyer, author of Poems from Dry Creek Auker is fiercely connected - and will connect you as well - with the most elemental spirits of the earth and the heart. Margo Metegrano, Director of The Center for Western and Cowboy Poetry Winter of Beauty is a novel by Amy Hale Auker, winner of the 2012 WILLA Literary Award for Creative Nonfiction, which will bring joy to your heart and tears to your eyes. Her words come from the heart and will melt you, just like the sun melts the snow on Bride Mountain. A working cowgirl, Auker writes and thrives on a ranch in Arizona where she is having a love affair with rock, mountains, pinon and juniper forests, the weather, and her songwriter husband, who is foreman of the ranch. As Amy says, For years I cooked for cowboys, cleaned up after cowboys, listened to cowboys tell stories, but for the past five years I have done my own time in the saddle. And I write. Always I write. She guides her readers to a place where the bats fly, lizards do pushups on the rocks, bears leave barefoot prints in the dirt. Where hummingbirds do rain dances in August, spiders weave for their food, and poetry is in the chrysalis and the cocoon. Winter of Beauty will please the adult reader who enjoys the apt description of people and things; the understanding of nature, human or otherwise; and becoming immersed in them through a turn of phrase that brings both clarity of thought and joy in the reading. …

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Willa Literary Award Finalist for Original Softcover Fiction, 2015, Awarded by the Women Writing the West Uncle Bill Morgan knew about love and loss. He had watched over the land and the people at the Benson Ranch for decades. Julia was a free spirit, quirky and fun, trapped in a marriage with hospital corners and traditional expectations. Charlie was trapped as well, but by something more sinister than tradition and, in the end, realized that it is okay to love more. Cody Jack needed more - more of everything that soothed and comforted and numbed - but he stood to lose the only good thing he'd ever known and he would hurt anyone to keep it. The old cowboy is gone, but he left his story behind. It is a story of love, loss and life lessons, of confession and absolution, a story of poetry and rescue, a story of loneliness and a story of coming together. And, after all, the story is the thing.…
