Loose Wire: A Personal Guide to Making T $16.95 EVER GET THE FEELING that technology is taking over your life and not asking you first? When you’ve mislaid that important file or can’t connect your new camera, do you just want to hurl your computer out of the window? When your kids/friends/grandparents start talking about blogging, podcasting and RSS feeds do you nod as wisely as you can while wrestling with the urge to throw them out of the window too? The bad news is that technology isn’t going away. The good news is that, by picking up this book, you’re halfway to making it work for you – not against you. Loose Wire is a compilation of Jeremy Wagstaff’s most popular weekly columns on personal technology from The Wall Street Journal Asia and the Far Eastern Economic Review. An ordinary person’s primer on technology, Loose Wire explains – in jargon-free language and real sentences – what has happened over the past few years, from the rise of the mobile phone to phishing, to where we are heading, as well as hands-on, practical advice about how to enjoy the ride. ABOUT THE AUTHORJeremy Wagstaff has worked as a journalist since 1986 – for the BBC, Reuters, The Wall Street Journal and the Far Eastern Economic Review. Most of that time has been spent in Asia, covering uprisings, wars, colonial retreats and the odd (sometimes very odd) press conference. No techie, his interest in technology grew out of a realization that it was changing the way journalists – and the world – work, and that following it would probably be a better idea than fighting it. Since 2000 he has been writing a technology column and has since 2004 appeared regularly on the BBC World Service. He also keeps a blog at loosewireblog.com. |

Sperm, Wonderful Sperm! $23.01 I remember a report some time ago extolling the health benefits of the vitamins found in sperm, with the advice that in preparation for having a healthy and intelligent baby, for some months before becoming pregnant a woman should swallow her partner’s sperm. You can rest assured this report was compiled by a team of men. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the fact I set out to write a book entitled “49″, a humorously light-hearted fly-on-the-wall look at my life from the day before my forty-ninth birthday to the day I hit fifty. A story of how I was coping with being too old for a mid-life crisis, counting the days tick down until the inevitable half-century. Should I be wearing socks with sandals; when would I start to enjoy pastimes that involved either binoculars, a fishing rod, making boats out of used matchsticks, a tandem bicycle or Morris dancing? Was I developing man-breasts, and more importantly, would the next woman I meet have bingo-wings? What pre-fifty pastimes would I be consigning to the dusty bin of life – wearing Ramones T-shirts and ogling young girls; my T-shirt definitely had to go. Maybe I wouldn’t even make it to the end of the book; instead I’d meet my end running the Snowdonia Marathon. As it was I did make it to the end. Having spent a year writing “49″ and many months trying to get a publishing deal without success, I started to write a blog. I pretty soon realised the missing ingredient – sex: sex sells. Post a good title and you have a success; mention anal sex and you have a best-seller. Without a second thought I changed the book title to “Sperm, Wonderful Sperm!” and quickly contacted an online print-on-demand publisher. This isthe result… |

Thriving, coping, surviving, hoping: Negotiating the first year of teaching. $49.99 In this qualitative study, I examined how four teachers negotiated their first year of teaching. All four teachers graduated from the same teacher preparation program, and secured general elementary positions in the same school district where they conducted some or all of their clinical coursework. I explored the factors that shaped the practice of these first-year teachers. Annie, a 23-year-old, single, female marathon runner, with a vision to work with children in an inner-city setting, secured a position as a first grade teacher at a school where 85% of the children lived in poverty. Rachel, 24 years old, newly-married, and expecting her first baby, had substitute-taught for one year before securing her job as a second grade teacher in another downtown school. Ben, a 23-year-old single male, envisioned since childhood to become a teacher in order to be a positive role model for children. His first job was in fifth grade at a rural school. Connie, a middle-aged mother of five, had home-schooled her three oldest children. She accepted a long-term substitute position in a school close to her home where her youngest son was to start kindergarten. From the summer before until the summer after their first year of teaching, I collected data through semi-structured and unstructured interviews, classroom observations followed by stimulated recall sessions, focus groups, and blog entries. I discovered that although in many ways our teacher education program prepared the participants to teach well, they experienced some common challenges and surprises that they negotiated in unique ways. The intersection of their teacher identities, teacher visions, and personal and professional contexts determined how they negotiated their first year of teaching. Implications for teacher education and teacher induction are discussed. |

Whackopedia $17.43 Tom Hanks once said that ‘the world is just plain goofy.’ There’s no doubt about it. We’ve all often commented how insane, nuts, weird, and plain whacko way too many aspects of our lives are. It’s happening more each day, with the latest and greatest in the world of whacko somehow able to top that which we previously thought was too hard to believe. There is also a large group of folks that conduct themselves in such idiotic ways or create such stupendous blunders that they deserve a “whack upside the head.” Some of it qualifies as being sound evidence that the end of the world is near, whether the current prognosticators of that event or close to being right or not. Even if the end is not at hand, things have certainly become much stranger in the last few decades. Much of it is so hard to look at or to contemplate that we might cry if we could not laugh about it. In this volume, you will find the strange, odd, weird, ridiculous, just plain dumb and occasionally horrendously stupid acts, products, language, events, and other assorted nonsense that must be at least laughed at or, in some cases, soundly lambasted, including many of those bizarre folks who deserve a good whacking. While it is difficult to pinpoint the exact start date for when things really started to get wacko, it can easily be traced to December 18, 1989, the date of the first entry in the Whackopedia took place. “Phenomenal insight! A must read!!!”- a NEW YORKER friend “Ken’s finger is on the pulse on what’s wrong out there in the world.” -a VARIETY of folks said “Can’t wait to see what’s on his blog!” – those with TIME to look |
