The Annotated Ring Cycle
Authors: Walter Frederick Paul
Published: February 2024

Richard Wagner’s magnum opus meets the celebrated translator of Jules Verne novels in this colorful and original work.

Frederick Paul Walter makes Siegfried accessible not only to scholars and opera buffs but also to fans of Tolkien, Star Wars, and Hogwarts through a dazzling new translation in lively modern English and annotations that spotlight the libretto, lyrics, and stage directions. The translation conveys Wagner’s humor, rhymes, alliterative effects, subliminal messages, and inventive tale spinning, plus it also gets the most basic ingredient right: the actual story! It highlights the motives, secrets, and plot twists—what’s really going on and what its narrative shows. Accompanying the translation and annotations are dozens of photos of classic artwork by Arthur Rackham, Howard Pyle, Aubrey Beardsley, the 1876 costume and set designs, and much more.

Historical Dictionary of Montenegro
Authors: Djukanovic Bojka

This book features a chronology, an introduction, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has more than 800 cross-referenced entries on important personalities as well as aspects of the country’s politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture.

Joan of Arc
Authors: Manning Scott
Published: February 2024

Joan of Arc is the most recognizable woman from medieval Europe, yet the details of her life remain obscure to the general public while heavily debated by specialists. Rising from obscurity to insert herself into the court of French King Charles VII before marching with his armies to combat the enemies of the crown during the Hundred Years War, she was eventually captured, tried in an inquisition, and then executed as a relapsed heretic at the age of 19.

Joan of Arc: A Reference Guide of Her Life and Works focuses on her life, and legacy. It features a chronology, an introduction offers a brief account of her life, a dictionary section lists entries on people, groups, places, events, topics, terms, and medieval documents central to Joan’s life including her letters, contemporary perspectives, her condemnation trial, and the nullification proceedings eventually blessed by the pope to overturn the verdict of the condemnation trial. This book aims to provide an understanding not just of Joan, but of the culture that produced and ultimately destroyed her.

The Practice of Love
Authors: Torrent Lair
Published: February 2024

A master class in relationship repair and connection.

At its core, this book delivers an inconvenient truth. Our relationships have to be a daily practice if we want them to thrive. We should treat them like we treat anything that we want to succeed, by giving them time and attention. For far too long it has been assumed that we should innately understand how to love one another. Relationships have fallen into the category of things we should know how to do. But we are not born knowing how to make a relationship work, any more than we are born knowing how to file taxes or buy insurance, and there are no classes in high school or college that teach us how to do this. The Practice of Love is that class.

In his work, Lair Torrent, a licensed marriage and family therapist, brings together concepts and tools that can actually help couples heal for the long haul. Diving beneath the symptoms most therapies focus on, he helps couples develop a deeper understanding of the wounds that brought them together and how they show up in their relationships. The 5 Practices gives the reader an opportunity to weed out and take responsibility for limiting or negative habits while allowing them to learn and adopt new and healthier practices with their partner. These are not short-term solutions, but rather a path to profound healing, deeper connection, and stronger, happier relationships.
The Contractual Networks of Digital Commons
Authors: Kornilakis Angelos
Published: February 2024

The work deals with Digital Commons. These are a case of the new organizational forms developed in the realm of digital economy and fall under the notion of “Network Enterprise”, substituting the classical hierarchical forms of firms with horizontal cooperation between independent agents. They are hybrid forms of organization, which reject both markets and hierarchies, as the two mainstream organizational modes of conventional economics. They are based on individual autonomy combined with egalitarian cooperative mechanisms, trying to reap the best of the organizational structure of firms without sacrificing individual autonomy.
Metamorphism, Metasomatism and Conditions of Formation of Industrial Minerals of the Sillimanite Group of the Fennoscandian Shield
Authors: Shchiptsov Vladimir
Published: February 2024

The group of sillimanite minerals includes kyanite, sillimanite and andalusite, modifications. It is shown that high-alumina complexes are widespread throughout the Fennoscandian Shield, but the sources (protoliths) are sedimentary-volcanogenic formations of the preceding stages. Three metamorphogenic types of high-alumina formations have been identified: the Keivian (Archean), the Svekofennian (Paleoproterozoic) and the Southwestern Gneissian (Mesoproterozoic). The connection with tectono-metamorphic cycles has been established. The Keivian metamorphogenic type is characterised by the formation of high-alumina complexes under conditions of high pressures and average temperatures of amphibolite and less frequently granulite facies of metamorphism. The main industrial mineral is kyanite. The second metamorphogenic type (Svecofennian) is associated with the Svecofennian Province. The manifested metamorphism corresponds to a metamorphic series of low and medium pressures and medium and high temperatures. The main industrial mineral is andalusite. Two areas are distinguished: southeastern and northwestern. The third metamorphogenic type (Southwestern Gneissian) characterised by a wider range of PT conditions of metamorphism, which is reflected in the formation of industrial minerals of the sillimanite group (sillimanite and kyanite). Polycyclic metasomatosis of the acid-leaching stage plays the main role in the formation of deposits of the sillimanite group of minerals.

(Re)Writing Local Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Histories: Negotiating Shared Meaning in Public Rhetoric Partnerships
Authors: Grobman Laurie
Published: February 2024

This article describes a series of community-based research projects, (Re)Writing Local Racial, Ethnic, and Cultural Histories, done in partnership with the local African American, Hispanic/Latino, and Jewish communities. The author argues that these projects are one substantive response to the ongoing, growing demand that English studies teacher-scholars and students participate in purposeful, impactful public work. These projects position students as rhetorical citizen historians who produce original historical and rhetorical knowledge and promote democracy through conscious, deliberate rhetorical historical work. But these partnerships also raise complex issues of unequal, fluid, and shifting discourses among community partners, students, and faculty and, consequently, inform ways to enact publicly shared meaning in community literacy partnerships.
Transformations: Locating Agency and Difference in Student Accounts of Religious Experience
Authors: Williams Mark Alan
Published: February 2024

Recent scholarship has highlighted discursive constraints students face when writing on religion in college classrooms and has questioned the efficacy of current classroom—practices for responding to such students and texts. This article addresses these concerns by positing a translingual framework for responding to students’ religious discourse. It—describes how changing conditions create and transform religions and illustrates how religious practitioners participate in those transformations. It rereads texts written by—religious writing students, demonstrating how instructors could use translingual responses to help students employ their diverse religious resources in writing to interrogate and—intervene in these changing religious contexts.

Review: Rhetoric in the Archives: Histories of Women Physicians, Literacy Educators, and Students
Authors: Ostergaard Lori
Published: February 2024

Current historical research is shifting its gaze away from metalevel studies of the field that examine the discipline’s history on the national level toward archival histories and case studies of underrepresented individuals, groups, and movements that aim to shine a light on the darkened corners of our past and provide alternative or parallel narratives of the field’s development while also hinting at the expanse of rhetorical and disciplinary history yet to be uncovered. With this observational frame in mind, the author launches into a rich and detailed review of three recent books on the history of localized populations. Each of these books adds to the field literature on the idea of microhistories; on histories of rhetoric and public voice; on the education and professional preparation of nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century women; and on race and racism during this same time period.
Emerging Voices: The Geographies of History: Space, Time, and Composition
Authors: Lesh Charles N.
Published: February 2024

This article investigates the spatial politics at work in composition and rhetoric's turn toward revisionist historiography. Drawing on critical spatial theory, the author seeks to answer a fundamental question: What would it mean to formulate a historiography for composition that brings an interrelation of space and time, of spatial and historical work, to the fore? This article expedites this foregrounding by highlighting the ways in which the divisions between time and space have already grown increasingly tenuous in our revisionist historical scholarship and by providing this interrelatedness a vocabulary—a space-time hermeneutic—to highlight and predict its theoretical and political implications.

English Teachers’ Online Participation as Professional Development: A Narrative Study
Authors: Rodesiler Luke , Pace Barbara G.
Published: February 2024

This article presents research from a qualitative study investigating five secondary English teachersâ€™ experiences participating online (via blogs, microblogs, and social network sites) in exploration of teaching, learning, and literacy. With narratives from collected interview data, the authors conducted a thematic analysis to identify common patterns and a structural analysis to underscore the narrative content. Participants constructed narratives that revealed several themes, including those addressing shifts in their teaching practices, their sense of isolation, and their identities as writers. This study stands to support more nuanced understandings of teachersâ€™ efforts to supplement their professional growth by creating new content on the Web and engaging in active dialogue online with distant colleagues.
Provocateur Pieces*: Bishop Ampleforth Is Not a Pawn
Authors: Miller Christopher
Published: February 2024

This piece is a satirical look at the stultifying state of the English classroom in an age of over-testing. Bishop, the eponymous new student at Henry Ford High School, attempts to make sense of his classroom, where students prepare for the next in a parade of tests that will measure their creativity. In this dystopia, writing has been completely codified, distilled to a series of formulae, mechanisms, and flow charts that purport to deliver writers to proficiency. Layered with themes of power, politics, and dehumanization, the piece endeavors to caricature the folly of over-measurement while providing catharsis to those whose real-life classrooms are all too similar to the one depicted. The piece is followed by an actual missive the author received from his union representative after this piece had been accepted that demonstrates how fact isn’t far from fiction: life indeed imitates art.

Revaluing Readers: Learning from Zachary
Authors: Goodman Yetta , Martens Prisca , Flurkey Alan
Published: February 2024

In this article, the authors share their work with Zachary, a fourth grader who was perceived as having difficulties with reading. Through retrospective miscue analysis (RMA) over 14 sessions in 5 months, Zachary came to revalue reading as a process of constructing meaning and to revalue himself as a capable reader. The authors describe and use transcripts to show how Zachary came to understand and build on his strengths as a reader through RMA and read more effectively and efficiently. They argue that RMA is a powerful tool that enriches a reading curriculum of authentic reading. It raises reading to a consciousness level, demystifies the reading process, and helps readers, particularly those who are struggling, grow stronger as readers.
Professional Book Reviews: Exploring Resources for the CCSS
Authors: Oglan Victoria A. , Goodman Janie Riddle , Davis Brennan
Published: February 2024

Whether you are a supporter of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) or not, they continue to be a hot topic of conversation in educational circles across the country. The new standards are not without drawbacks, but they do set the goal of establishing what students need to learn without dictating to teachers how to achieve that goal. Over the past few years, many teachers have been engaged in professional development initiatives focused on the CCSS, all in an effort to help them be properly informed and ready to implement the standards in the best possible ways. Those states adopting the CCSS are individually deciding which implementation approaches best suit the needs of both their teachers and students. As a result, educators are looking for diverse resources that offer guidance on how to address the Standards to meet the needs of all learners in K– 12 classrooms. In this issue, we look at a number of resources that offer teachers valuable information about ways to engage students in reading, writing, listening, and speaking that meet the requirements of the CCSS and have the potential to help students become more proficient learners.

How History as Mystery Reveals Historical Thinking: A Look at Two Accounts of Finding Typhoid Mary
Authors: Zarnowski Myra , Turkel Susan
Published: February 2024

Historians and detectives work in similar ways, each trying to figure out what happened in the past. Both look for clues or evidence left behind, and both create a tentative explanation based on this evidence. This article begins with this important similarity in order to show how nonfiction books for children that present history as a mystery read like thrillers and reveal the process of historical thinking. We use two distinct detective stories about Typhoid Mary to show how history mysteries accomplish this: the story of the detective on the scene who, like any mystery detective, tackles a perplexing problem in front of him, and the story of the present-day historian detective who uses historical sense-making concepts to make sense of the past for today’s readers. We conclude by providing suggestions for using history mysteries in the classroom and a list of recommended titles to investigate.
