Miller - Deputy Superintendent ii ......mowarevobrommematUVAINPIC FOREWORD LANGUAGE ARTS TOOLS has been compiled for theuse of teachers and ad- ministrators in the schools of Wayne County.It consists of annotated listings of materials available foruse in reading improvement programs. No claim is made that the list is complete;new companies seem to spawn overnight and older companies are vastly ex- panding their offerings in the field of reading. Anattempt has been made to supply all the necessary information about each itemexcept price, which was too flexible to be dealt with accurately. However, catalogs formost of the publishers, manufacturers and suppliers are on file at the Wayne County Intermediate Schools Professional Resources Center at the Wayne County Library, 33030 Van Born Road, Wayne, Michigan. The following categories have been used for the arrangement of materials: Books and Workbooks; Kits, Laboratories and Multi-Media Packages; Programmed Ma- terials; Newspapers and Magazines; Instrumentation; Films, Filmstrips, Transparencies, Slides and Recordings; Charts, Pictures, Flash Cards, Games and Devices; Evaluation; and Professional Books.Obviously there is a certain amount of overlap in these cate- gories.Some items are listed in more than,one category, in which case the annotation will probably appear only once. No attempt has been made to evaluate materials; the intent has been to bring all sorts of materials to the potential user's attention where they will be evaluated in terms of local need. Probably the most helpful section of the bibliography is that which deals with the appropriate use of each of the items included.Nine skill areas have been delineated: Pre-reading (but not limited to pre-school), Word Recognition, Comprehension, Critical Thinking, Locating Materials, Using Non-Verbal Reading Materials, Organizing Ma- terials, Improving Reading Rate, and Reading for Pleasure. Theseare not necessarily the "best" or most descriptive categories; use of the bibliography by teachers willun- doubtedly indicate further refinements in these listings.Hopefully the users of this section will submit their suggestions to us for use in Evture revisions. Along with the listing of skills are grade level designations, so that a teacher may find at a glance all the items in each section of the bibliography which could be used to help develop each of the skills at any grade level.Publishers were invited to check our annotations and place their materials in the appropriate section on the usage chart and most of themre- sponded. Imaginative teachers, however, may find that materials can be used in ways and at grade levels not indicated by the publishers. Again your cooperation is solicited in making this particular feature of the bibliography as helpful as possible by sharing with us your own experiences in using specific materials. Finally, the compiler accepts full responsibility for all errors in the bibliography, both of omission and commission.It is, however, our intent to revise it periodically. May we solicit your aid in keeping the volume as accurate and up-to-date as possible? Please address any suggestions to 301 City-County Building, Detroit, Michigan 48226. RACHEL G.

List of Publishers,Manufacturers and Suppliers . 130 iv When the preparation of this section begcn, the only books listed were "series" books, either basic or supplementary. A complete bask reading series, for example, which might contain as many as 50 individual titles, appeared as a single item.It be- came obvious lifer a while thatthere were a number cf textbeveks, not part of a series, which were deserving of mention in this sectime.Therefore, individual titles have also been listed, side by side with complete series. One of the most difficult problems in preparing this section was never resolved, namely: how to inslude delightful trade books which would enhance children's inde- pendent reading programs. Most books of this sort were not includedunless they were part of a series, but you are urged to make useof the many excellent trade books that are available today.Catalogs from many publishers of trade books are available at the Wayne County Professional Resources Center. It is hoped that the somewhat unorthodox bibliographic form will provehelpful rather than a hindrance.For the most port teachers refer to books by title (or even color!). Therefore, all the items are listed alphabeiically by title ratherthan by author. Again, for convenience sake, we have been somewhat cavalier withauthors' names, using only surnames.If use of the bibliography indicates that full names would be preferable, they will be included in future revisions. Both reading and interest levels are indicated for each entry. The first number (or pair of numbers) indicates the reading level, taken in most instances from the pub- lisher's advertising. The second number indicates the grade level for which thematerial is geared in terms of interest. For example, the first entry in thebibliography is written at a third grade reading level but should appeal to children atall grade levels between kindergarten and grade three. -1 AREA A: COOKS ANDWORKBOOKS 3/K-3, Children's Press.Designed to teach 1.

Leedy, B.A, M.A. Marquette University, 2016 This project examines four Southern women writers—Elizabeth Madox Roberts, Flannery O’Connor, Katherine Anne Porter, and Eudora Welty—who use the genre of the short story and the setting of the farm or insular living space to critique Southern regional identity. I argue that the social critiques of these southern female short story writers have been overlooked because stereotypes rooted in the fantasy of the idealized southern woman has limited critical perceptions of these authors’ engagements with cultural or political issues, when in reality their short fiction helped to influence the shifting expectations of the mid-twentieth century South.

  • On ALPHA CENTAURI
    A Compilation of Relevant Articles from MMM’s first 25 years, issues 1-250 Introduction: Every atom in our bodies, except hydrogen, has been forged in the fusion furnaces in the cores of stars long since exploded, peppering the interstellar gas clouds with them - clouds out of which future stars and their planets eventually formed. To recast a biblical phrase, “Of stardust thou art, and to the stars thou shalt return!” Humankind was born in Africa, and for well over a hundred thousand years has been spreading from one continent to another, becoming an “intercontinental” species. Now we are crossing another kind of sea to another kind of continent, The Moon, then to others beyond, our next goal is to become an “interplanetary” species. Whether we spread beyond our native solar system depends on many things, surviving our pre- sent and coming geopolitical, global financial, and environmental-economic crises just as important as leaping technological hurdles. But the call is there, and we feel it whenever we look up at the star- studded heavens on a clear night. Moon Miners’ Manifesto’s purpose has been to help flush out, and then flesh out how we will establish a growing civilian beachhead on the Moon, Mars and beyond. Here and there, we’ve had a few articles peeping beyond our solar system, about what might lay beyond along our path “home.” They are reprinted below. Our near-term goal is to learn much more about what lies out there, by telescopes on the Moon and in space INDEX MMM THEMES: Starbound! ARTICLES: MMM #17 Design for an Amateur Lunar

Ogles Dean, College of Arts and Sciences 3 ABSTRACT MCGAHA, RICHARD L., Ph.D, November 2009, History The Politics of Espionage: Nazi Diplomats and Spies in Argentina, 1933-1945 (415 pp.) Director of Dissertation: Norman J.W. Goda This dissertation investigates Nazi Germany’s diplomacy and intelligence- gathering in Argentina from 1933-1945. It does so from three perspectives. This study first explores the rivalries that characterized the bureaucracy in the Third Reich. It argues that those rivalries negatively affected Germany’s diplomatic position in Argentina. The actions of the AO in Argentina in the 1930s were indicative of this trend. This created a fear of fifth-column activity among Latin American governments with large German populations. Second, this study explores the rivalry between the Sicherheitsdienst (Security Service, SD) of the Reichssicherheitshauptamt (Reich Security Main Office, RSHA) and Auswärtiges Amt (Foreign Ministry, AA). It argues that the rivalry between these two organizations in Argentina was part of a larger plan on the part of Amt VI, SS Foreign Intelligence to usurp the functions of the AA.

  • Commercial Lunar Propellant Architecture a Collaborative Study of Lunar Propellant Production
    Commercial Lunar Propellant Architecture A Collaborative Study of Lunar Propellant Production 1 To the Memory of: Dr. Paul D. Spudis (1952–2018) Dr. Spudis earned his master’s degree from Brown University and his Ph.D. from Arizona State University in Geology with a focus on the Moon. His career included work at the US Geological Survey, NASA, John Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, and the Lunar and Planetary Institute advocating for the exploration and the utilization of lunar resources. His work will continue to inspire and guide us all on our journey to the Moon. “By going to the Moon we can learn how to extract what we need in space from what we find in space. Fundamentally that is a skill that any spacefaring civilization has to master. If you can learn to do that, you’ve got a skill that will allow you to go to Mars and beyond.” ii Authors David Kornuta, United Launch Alliance, CisLunar Project Lead1 Angel Abbud-Madrid, Colorado School of Mines, Professor of Space Resources Jared Atkinson, Honeybee Robotics, Senior Geophysical Engineer Jonathan Barr, United Launch Alliance, Program Manager Gary Barnhard, Xtraordinary Innovative Space Partnership, CEO Dallas Bienhoff, Cislunar Space Development Company LLC, Founder Brad Blair, NewSpace Analytics, Managing Partner Vanessa Clark, Atomos Nuclear and Space, Chief Executive and Technology Officer Justin Cyrus, Lunar Outpost, CEO Blair DeWitt, Lunar Station Corporation, CEO and Co-Founder Chris Dreyer, Colorado School of Mines, Professor of Space Resources Barry Finger, Paragon
