Jagdzeit
DescriptionGreg, Ken und Art stellten die Elite der amerikanischen Jugend dar. Jetzt haben die drei Karriere gemacht. Doch nebenbei hatten sie schon immer ihren "guten, sauberen, jungenhaften, durch und durch amerikanischen Spaß" - und ihre dunklen Geheimnisse. Mit kaum erträglicher Spannung wird der Leser durch die Abgründe des "american way of terror"geleitet, die unter der polierten Oberfläche sichtbar werden. Jedes Jahr verbringen die Freunde ein paar Wochen zusammen in ihrer Jagdhütte und gehen ihren Hobbys nach: Jagd und Sex. Also wird jedes Jahr ein Pärchen entführt und muss ein paar Tage lang für "Unterhaltung" sorgen - anschließend wird es "zur Jagd freigegeben". Doch irgendwann holen die Schatten der Vergangenheit jeden ein ... Bislang hat Osborn neun Romane und 24 Drehbücher geschrieben. Einige seiner Romane sind auf Deutsch erschienen, u. a. "Der Maulwurf", "Köpfe" und "Mord auf Martha’sVineyard". David Osborn lebt heute wieder mit seiner Frau in Connecticut.

Language and Cultural Diversity in U.S. Schools: Democratic Principles in Action
 List Price: Price: $26.85 You Save: $1.10 (4%) DescriptionDiversity is at the heart of today's education debates. Often, school policies and programs designed to encourage and embrace diversity are met with public ire and a deep misunderstanding of how diversity serves learning. This work explains how diversity is an essential element in classroom settings. As children from around the world continue to pour into U.S. classrooms, an understanding of cultural and linguistic diversity in its broadest sense moves to the foreground. In a post 9/11 world, the benefits of understanding diversity take on urgent meaning.The introductory chapter, "Participating in Democracy Means Participating in Schools," sets the tone for the discussion to follow. As the geographic backgrounds of immigrants becomes increasingly diverse, religion must be added to previous discussions of race, ethnicity, and language. Thus, the need for the public to understand how shifts in population affect schools, makes this work a vital resource for anyone concerned with education today.
