Описание: It is widely acknowledged that community participation can play a significant role in promoting primary education. Community involvement in education is important for many reasons. It aids in the ability to identify local education issues and to develop strategies to resolve barriers that impede access and retention and compromise quality. Civic participation in the life of local schools also helps to ensure the relevance of the curriculum and its delivery. It can also be an effective component in monitoring the process and outcomes of education at multiple levels. In resource-constrained settings community participation can also serve as an effective means of advocating for and mobilising the resources needed to move towards a high-quality public system of education throughout the country. It also has the potential to increase awareness levels and to bring about improvements in health and living conditions. This has resulted in many efforts to bring community and school closer together as also to involve community members in the development of primary education programmes. Community Participation and Empowerment in Primary Education covers a range of important issues including how community participation works in an environment characterized by deep-rooted socio-economic divisions; the equitable distribution of participation; identifying and defining the community; and ensuring the genuine representation of those who are traditionally excluded from decision-making in rural areas. It is aimed to explore how key stakeholders, eg:, teachers, parents and government officials, define community participation. The studies further intended to determine factors that aide or impede participation and to recommend ways to enhance the amount and quality of participation. This book will be of valuable for all those involved with education, social work and the sociology of education. It will be of equal value to activists, administrators and NGOs.

Every city on Earth with a population of fifty thousand or more is attacked by aliens who exterminate the political, industrial, economic, and military leadership of the world. Over seven billion people are disintegrated in two hours. Eleven people discover the general area where the alien command post on Earth is, and set out to attack it. They don't know its location, have no plan of attack, and don't know how to get into the command post if they do locate it. And not all of them are convinced they will succeed. But two people join them who know something about the aliens. They have nine days to travel a thousand miles without being seen, and get into the command post and stop a fleet of one hundred alien ships from reaching Earth and completing their conquest of Earth. And the aliens are prepared for them.

Описание: Excerpt from Some Jefferson Correspondence, 1775-1787 I have just time to enclose to you a copy of General Lee's let ter written the day after the cannonade of Fort Sullivan. It came to hand two days after his other, tho' written 4 days before it. This was a glorious affair. Lord Dunmore has had a most complete drubbing. The fleet left 7 fine cables and anchors worth at least three of their tenders completely furnished fell into our hands. If we had had only 2 more 18 pounders and powder and ball in plenty, we might have taken or utterly destroyed the Dunmore, and all their tenders. The Fowey did not attempt to assist the Dunmore, the other prepared once to fire, but received a shot between wind and water, on which she went off on a careen. I hope every one here, especially of our late Committee. Will remember how often I in sisted on erecting batteries and attacking this fleet. If I could have been listened to, I could have agreed to be hanged if I would not have saved Nor folk and destroyed the fleet before it. 4 18's and as many 9 pounders would have done their business. Our governor is still so sick that he can not attend to business. I am presiding member, and am so pestered with letters and to answering them that I have not time to add but a few words more. The Carolinians have sent the clothes, which G. Lee wanted for their people they have also sent a good stock of gunpowder, and we are sending what - can be spared from here to North Carolina to replace what they have sent. For God's sake set on foot an expedition against Detroit. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Описание: The award-winning, field-defining history of gay life in New York City in the early to mid-20th centuryGay New York brilliantly shatters the myth that before the 1960s gay life existed only in the closet, where gay men were isolated, invisible, and self-hating. Drawing on a rich trove of diaries, legal records, and other unpublished documents, George Chauncey constructs a fascinating portrait of a vibrant, cohesive gay world that is not supposed to have existed. Called monumental (Washington Post), unassailable (Boston Globe), brilliant (Nation), and a first-rate book of history (New York Times), Gay New York forever changed how we think about the history of gay life in New York City, and beyond.
