University of Pennsylvania Press The Age of Intoxication
Book SynopsisTrade Review"Everybody must get stoned: That's the great lesson of history, driven home by this elucidating survey . . . Breen makes a fine case for his title, which he suggests is more appropriate than the Age of Reason-and for reasons good and true . . . A provocative examination of the history of exploration as a quest for new and improved ways to change our minds." * Kirkus Reviews *"Analyzing psychoactive and medicinal substances together enables this elegantly and evocatively written book to challenge historical assumptions about drugs and more recent legal divisions between illicit and licit, recreational and medicinal . . . Breen's approach allows The Age of Intoxication to make significant contributions to the histories of science and empire, as well as cultural histories of difference making more broadly." * The William and Mary Quarterly *"The Age of Intoxication is extensively researched, full of fascinating details, and told in accessible, entertaining prose. With chapters drawing from Mesoamerica, Africa, Europe, and South Asia, it elucidates the far reaches of the Portuguese drug trade and the centrality of non-European actors...[T]he book tells a convincing story about the cultural construction of mind-altering substances across the early modern globe. It is a thoroughly enjoyable read and an important addition to the scholarship on early modern pharmaceuticals." * Isis *"This book effectively challenges the historical concept of 'The Age of Reason' to describe the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries as instead 'The Age of Intoxication.' [A] provocative volume...Breen ultimately reconstructs the rise of drugs, both licit and illicit, and their entanglement with the rise of global capitalism and empire [and] illustrates how modern societies hold fears of certain drugs and not others. " * Journal of Modern History *"Nature gives us opium poppies and Cannabis sativa; culture turns them into overprescribed opioids and overcriminalized dime bags. In his important new book, Benjamin Breen argues that all decisions about intoxicants are judgments about cultural difference, with roots in the early modern imperialism that spun many drugs into global circulation in the first place. The Age of Intoxication is a lively, edifying, wholly convincing book." * Joyce Chaplin, author of Round About the Earth: Circumnavigation from Magellan to Orbit *"The Age of Intoxication is a fascinating, important, and evocative look at early modern 'drugs'-widely redefined-and their roles in European expansion, medicine, pharmacy, and culture. Benjamin Breen has a striking historical range, tying together histories of the Portuguese and British empires, of the Americas, of Africa, and of South Asia. Combining archival and conceptual depth, the book reveals a connected world of unsung, often subaltern actors. Breen strongly suggests that contemporary distinctions between 'illicit' and 'licit' drug cultures are rooted in this crucial era of global encounters." * Paul Gootenberg, author of Andean Cocaine: The Making of a Global Drug *"Innovative, smart, accessible, and a pleasure to read, The Age of Intoxication is the first history of drugs as cultural products. In Benjamin Breen's hands, this history contains as many lessons about society as it does about modern science." * James Sweet, University of Wisconsin, Madison *"The Age of Intoxication is an incisive, vividly recounted analysis of two vast yet interwoven imperial histories, using individual life stories, plant itineraries, medical recipes, and mercantile networks to tell the stories of 'failed' drugs we do not normally include alongside more 'successful' commodities such as chocolate, coffee, and tobacco. In engaging prose and humorous asides, from Portuguese Angola to the wilds of Brazil, Java, and beyond, Benjamin Breen takes us on a colorful historical trip through the mind-altering passageways of the early modern world, leaving no stone (or hallucinogenic mushroom) unturned." * Neil Safier, The John Carter Brown Library *"The Age of Intoxication shows how greater attention to the ambiguities of drugs and their history significantly enriches our understanding of many key features of modernity including colonialism, globalization science, medicine, commerce, and consumption. Benjamin Breen makes a strong and impassioned case for why early modern history is relevant to current discussions and public debates regarding drugs in society and the global drug trade." * Matthew Crawford, Kent State University *Table of ContentsIntroduction.

University of Toronto Press The Slow Professor
Book SynopsisIn The Slow Professor, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the principles of the Slow movement in academic life can counter the erosion of humanistic education.Trade Review"'Thrilling' isn't a word I often apply to books about higher education, but these pages galvanized me." -- Barbara Hunt National Public Radio (NPR), May 13, 2016 "What Maggie Berg and Barbara Seeber are doing in The Slow Professor is protesting against the "corporatization of the contemporary university", and reminding us of a kind of "good" selfishness; theirs is a self-help book that recognises the fact that an institution can only ever be as healthy as the sum of its parts." -- Emma Rees Times Higher Education, May 26, 2016 "The fact that precarious labour is becoming the norm in the academy impacts everyone, including those with tenure." -- Christina Turner Rabble.ca, May 26, 2016 'A welcome part of a crucial conversation.' -- Rachel Hadas Times Literary Supplement, July 29, 2016 "The Slow Professor recognizes the psychological strains of academic work, but subtly points toward explicitly political responses to the emotional toxins we absorb; but, it also avoids the fate of most subject-centred therapeutic exercises which are mainly courses in adaptation and resignation. Although it is no call to arms, no manifesto, nor a shout of defiance at the authorities, for insightful readers, the next step beyond self-awareness will be obvious." -- Howard A. Doughty CAUT Bulletin, September, 2016 "It's a beguiling book, written in controlled anger at the corporatized university, overrun by administrators and marketers." -- Rick Salutin The Toronto Star, September 9, 2016 'Thoughtful, reflective... The best thing this book accomplishes is its unabashed encouragement to talk to our colleagues in order to increase solidarity and togetherness in the combat against changing and challenging professional environments.' -- Kate Mattocks Journal of Higher Education - September 2016 "While The Slow Professor has already raised some eyebrows as an example of "tenured privilege," it's at once an important addition and possible antidote to the growing literature on the corporatization of the university." -- Colleen Flaherty Inside Higher Education, April 19, 2016Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Tort Law: A Comparative Introduction
Book SynopsisThis accessible textbook provides an introductory guide to tort law, with a structured explanation of the key concepts and doctrines. Using a comparative approach, the discussion is illustrated with case law and provisions from three key jurisdictions: England, France and Germany. With liberal reference to other codes and cases from around the world, the book gives readers a contextual understanding and will appeal to classes with a global outlook.Key Features: Examples of different solutions show how tort law is implemented in a variety of jurisdictions Direct comparison of legal systems helps readers to match different kinds of property or damage in civil and common law systems Translated provisions from codes and statutes facilitate access to the systems of French and German law in particular Clarification of corresponding concepts and terminology, as well as guidelines and examples to help readers find their way in a legal environment that is not restricted to a single jurisdiction Introductory guidance to tort law systems outside Europe Providing readers with a working knowledge of major tort law systems as well as a greater understanding of the main concepts in tort law, this textbook will be an important resource for both undergraduate and postgraduate students.Trade Review‘The book is a good starting point for those who wish to start a first comparative orientation in tort law. Students who want to delve in liability law with the aim of writing academic papers, or purely out of interest, will find in this textbook an accessible and highly readable guide that will show them the way through the most important concepts and terminology. More experienced lawyers may also find the book a helpful starting point for further research.’ -- Lukas Van Roy, Belgian Journal for Private Law‘This book offers a valuable introduction for students and professionals with no previous knowledge of comparative tort law. It describes tort law in the main European legal systems briefly, and, in a more general overview, it unlocks the most intricate topics in an easy-to-understand way. The text is deliberately kept simple, and the material is presented clearly and with numerous examples and diagrams.’ -- Miquel Martin Casals, University of Girona, Spain‘It is particularly challenging to write an introduction to comparative tort law as the structure of national tort law systems and major concepts used vary greatly from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Eric Tjong Tjin Tai succeeds brilliantly in providing law students with a fresh approach to contemporary tort law problems and a concise and accurate overview of English, French and German tort law.’ -- Jonas Knetsch, University Paris 1, France‘This timely and highly readable book adopts a unique approach: it introduces its readers to the field of tort law by way of a comparative approach. Internationally acclaimed expert Eric Tjong Tjin Tai shows the way to a new generation of law students by overcoming the classical approach centred on national details and uncovering the basic structures of tort law in jurisdictions throughout the world. It thus provides a breath of fresh air, amply focusing on the reasoning and concepts of tort law as well as on real life cases.’ -- Jan Smits, Maastricht University, the Netherlands‘The book Tort Law: A Comparative Introduction by Eric Tjong Tjin Tai is a great primer for everyone who is interested in tort law in general and comparative tort law in particular. Despite all the undoubted differences between the national tort law systems Tjong Tjin Tai manages in particular to outline their similar basic structure and shows the reader the need and the beauty of comparative law.’ -- André Janssen, Radboud University, the Netherlands

Teachers' College Press Good Questions Great Ways to Differentiate
Book SynopsisNow in its fourth edition - with more than 50 new questions and a new chapter on financial literacy - this bestselling resource helps experienced and novice teachers to effectively and efficiently differentiate mathematics instruction in grades K-8.Trade Review“When I read Marian Small’s work, I see the power of math revealed, but I also see her work opening that power to so many students who might never otherwise experience it…I am a disciple of her approach to differentiating math!”- From the Foreword by Carol Ann Tomlinson, University of Virginia;“Successful instruction causes students to wonder, conjecture, investigate, collaborate, and talk math. Good questioning is central to all the above, and for ‘knowing what students know.’ Small’s book focuses on the big ideas of mathematics, with questions, examples, and parallel tasks that assess student understanding and promote learning. This book is a must-read for every preservice and inservice teacher.”- Carole Greenes, professor emerita, mathematics education, Arizona State University;“In a classroom full of students, it can be hard to meet the needs of all learners. That is where this book has your back. Marian Small provides meaningful tasks while modeling how simple tweaks and intentional number choice can unlock students’ mathematical potential.”- Graham Fletcher, math specialist;“Throughout her career, Marian Small has shown that ‘differentiation’ in math class does not mean ‘ability grouping’ or breaking mathematics down into tiny, digestible subskills. Marian’s kind of differentiation means focusing on big ideas, offering students choice, and being curious about students’ thinking. In the 4th edition of this essential book, Marian teaches us powerful questioning techniques with her trademark clarity and provides plenty of specific examples across the content strands and grade bands. We can use these questions with our students immediately and internalize Marian’s teaching strategies through practice. How lucky for us that she has crafted these questions that will encourage student thinking, build our curiosity, and teach us to craft good questions of our own.”- Tracy Johnston Zager, math coach;“I just finished teaching an elementary math methods course to teacher candidates in a graduate program. I wish I had had Marian Small’s Good Questions: Great Ways to Differentiate Mathematics Instruction in the Standards-Based Classroom to use with these preservice teachers. Small covers all the key content in the Common Core PreK–8 math curriculum, and she addresses the topic of open questions in a very accessible way. She walks the reader step-by-step through how to teach the big ideas in the CCSS PreK–8 math curriculum using specified open questions. At the same time, she provides a menu of choices so teachers can draw from their own expertise to select the open questions that they see fit. Each chapter explains math content in an easy-to-reference manner. It is like having a reference book and a teaching coach all in one book. This semester, I watched teacher candidates struggle with how to lead a Number Talk, because they were not sure which open questions to ask to facilitate learning. Small’s book provides the guidance that they need. I look forward to using Small’s book the next time I teach Elementary Math Methods to teacher candidates. Inservice teachers will also benefit from the practical ideas about how to promote higher-order math thinking by asking the open questions outlined in Good Questions.”- Felicia Darling, math instructor at Santa Rosa Junior CollegeTable of Contents Contents Foreword ix by Carol Ann TomlinsonPreface xi Organization of the Book xi Mathematical Practice Standards xii Changes in the Fourth Edition xiii Acknowledgments xiv Introduction: Why and How to Differentiate Math Instruction 1 The Challenge in Math Classrooms 1 What It Means to Meet Student Needs 3 Assessing Students’ Needs 4 Principles and Approaches to Differentiating Instruction 4 Two Core Strategies for Differentiating Mathematics Instruction: Open Questions and Parallel Tasks 6 Creating a Math Talk Community 13 1 Counting & Cardinality and Number & Operations in Base Ten 17 Topics 17 The Big Ideas for Counting & Cardinality and for Number & Operations in Base Ten 18 Open Questions for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 19 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 28 Parallel Tasks for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 36 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 43 Summing Up 48 2 Number & Operations—Fractions 49 Topics 49 The Big Ideas for Number & Operations—Fractions 50 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 51 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 57 Summing Up 64 3 The Number System 65 Topics 65 The Big Ideas for The Number System 65 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 66 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 70 Summing Up 74 4 Ratios & Proportional Relationships 75 Topics 75 The Big Ideas for Ratios & Proportional Relationships 76 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 76 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 84 Summing Up 90 5 Operations & Algebraic Thinking 91 Topics 91 The Big Ideas for Operations & Algebraic Thinking 92 Open Questions for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 93 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 98 Parallel Tasks for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 108 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 111 Summing Up 116 6 Expressions & Equations and Functions 117 Topics 117 The Big Ideas for Expressions & Equations and for Functions 118 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 118 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 128 Summing Up 134 7 Financial Literacy 135 Topics 135 The Big Ideas for Financial Literacy 136 Open Questions for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 137 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 139 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 143 Parallel Tasks for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 147 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 149 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 151 Summing Up 156 8 Measurement & Data 157 Topics 157 The Big Ideas for Measurement & Data 158 Open Questions for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 159 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 169 Parallel Tasks for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 181 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 187 Summing Up 196 9 Geometry 197 Topics 197 The Big Ideas for Geometry 198 Open Questions for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 199 Open Questions for Grades 3–5 205 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 211 Parallel Tasks for Prekindergarten–Grade 2 224 Parallel Tasks for Grades 3–5 227 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 231 Summing Up 240 10 Statistics & Probability 241 Topics 241 The Big Ideas for Statistics & Probability 242 Open Questions for Grades 6–8 243 Parallel Tasks for Grades 6–8 252 Summing Up 262 Conclusions 263 The Need for Manageable Strategies 263 Developing Open Questions and Parallel Tasks 264 The Benefits of These Strategies 266 Appendix A: Mathematical Practices Addressed in This Resource 267 Appendix B: Worksheet for Open Questions and Parallel Tasks 268 Glossary 270 Bibliography 280 Index 283 Index of Subjects and Cited Authors 283 Index of Big Ideas 286 About the Author 290

The wok is an essential tool in the kitchens of virtually all Asian restaurants.

Well, in classic Kenji fashion, The Wok shows not just the hows and whys of wok cooking, but why you want the wok to be your favorite pan even if, like me, you've got ju" -- Francis Lam, cookbook editor, author and host of The Splendid Table"J. Kenji López-Alt’s new book, The Wok, is so expansive, so compendious, and so obsessively detailed (and I mean that in a good way) that it is frankly impossible to give a full enough account of it without running a review of several thousand words!.. [The Wok is] like taking a cookery course with the inspirational teacher of your dreams... This is indisputably an awe-inspiring magnum opus. And yet there is a wit and delight about it, too, that ensure it is captivating rather than drily earnest. " -- Nigella Lawson"… for a while I wanted to cook everything in my beloved wok, and the 200 recipes in López-Alt’s book made that easy… [THE WOK] taught me tricks and techniques that I will use for years to come, long after I’ve moved on to other books." -- Jennifer Reese - The New York Times Book Review

University of Toronto Press The Slow Professor
Book SynopsisIn The Slow Professor, Maggie Berg and Barbara K. Seeber discuss how adopting the principles of the Slow movement in academic life can counter the erosion of humanistic education.Trade Review'Thoughtful, reflective... The best thing this book accomplishes is its unabashed encouragement to talk to our colleagues in order to increase solidarity and togetherness in the combat against changing and challenging professional environments.' -- Kate Mattocks Journal of Higher Education - September 2016 "The Slow Professor recognizes the psychological strains of academic work, but subtly points toward explicitly political responses to the emotional toxins we absorb; but, it also avoids the fate of most subject-centred therapeutic exercises which are mainly courses in adaptation and resignation. Although it is no call to arms, no manifesto, nor a shout of defiance at the authorities, for insightful readers, the next step beyond self-awareness will be obvious." -- Howard A. Doughty CAUT Bulletin, September, 2016 "It's a beguiling book, written in controlled anger at the corporatized university, overrun by administrators and marketers." -- Rick Salutin The Toronto Star, September 9, 2016 'A welcome part of a crucial conversation.' -- Rachel Hadas Times Literary Supplement, July 29, 2016 "'Thrilling' isn't a word I often apply to books about higher education, but these pages galvanized me." -- Barbara Hunt National Public Radio (NPR), May 13, 2016 "What Maggie Berg and Barbara Seeber are doing in The Slow Professor is protesting against the "corporatization of the contemporary university", and reminding us of a kind of "good" selfishness; theirs is a self-help book that recognises the fact that an institution can only ever be as healthy as the sum of its parts." -- Emma Rees Times Higher Education, May 26, 2016 "The fact that precarious labour is becoming the norm in the academy impacts everyone, including those with tenure." -- Christina Turner Rabble.ca, May 26, 2016 "While The Slow Professor has already raised some eyebrows as an example of "tenured privilege," it's at once an important addition and possible antidote to the growing literature on the corporatization of the university." -- Colleen Flaherty Inside Higher Education, April 19, 2016Table of ContentsPreface Introduction 1. Time Management and Timelessness 2. Pedagogy and Pleasure 3. Research and Understanding 4. Collegiality and Community Conclusion: Collaboration and Working Together
