Paperback. Zustand: Good. Discover the life and legacy of Rachel Carson, a pioneer whose work highlighting the dangers of pesticide played a significant role in the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency. "A balanced, thoroughly researched introduction to an original scientist whose work remains of urgent importance today."--Booklist, starred review Quiet and shy, Rachel Carson seemed to be an unlikely candidate to start a revolution, but almost single-handedly she brought about an environmental upheaval. Her internationally bestselling book, Silent Spring, was responsible for sounding the wake-up call about the poisoning of the environment. Until her book, many people thought it was possible to "control" problems in nature without paying attention to side effects. Carson battled against old-fashioned sexism and big-business interests to show people the devastating consequences when the processes of nature are arrogantly disregarded. Her passionate commitment to the environment led to the eventual founding of the Environmental Protection Agency, which to this day is charged with safekeeping of the environment. This is one of the titles in Up Close, a riveting, all-access biography series that celebrates the leaders, artists, and legends of twentieth-century America--and the impact they had on the world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Visit the Center for Research on Education, Diversity & Excellence Why do we honor some students' background knowledge and ignore that of others? How can we build on the gifts of diversity in our classrooms? Classroom Diversity offers examples of teachers wrestling with these issues. It presents a new way to look at curriculum design and the learning that can result when we put students' funds of knowledge first. Classroom Diversity takes a sociocultural approach to curriculum design, which provides minority and working-class students with the same privileges that middle-class students have always had: instruction that puts their knowledge and experiences at the heart of their learning. It presents both the theoretical framework for linking students' lives with curriculum and specific strategies from teachers who have done so successfully. Their stories show African American, Haitian American, Latino, Native American, and rural white students of Appalachian descent engaged in contextualized learning as they read and write and do mathematics and science across the grades.
