TO KVINDER, DER VAR CLEVELAND-KIDNAPPEREN ARIEL CASTROS TILFÆLDIGE OFRE, STÅR I DENNE BOG FREM OG FORTÆLLER DERES HISTORIE OM BORTFØRELSEN, TI ÅRS FANGENSKAB OG DEN DRAMATISKE FLUGT.Forladt af en hustru, han havde pint og plaget i årevis, besluttede en midaldrende skolebuschauffør fra Cleveland, Ohio i 2002 at tage, hvad han ikke kunne få. Over tre år kidnappede han tre piger fra nabolaget, installerede dem i sit hus i lænker og bag barrikaderede vinduer, og gennem ti år forsvandt han længere og længere ind i en vanvidsforestilling om et lykkeligt familieliv. Et liv, som for Amanda, Gina og Michelle var et slaveliv med vold, voldtægt, sult og sorg.HÅB er en gribende og grum kriminalhistorie om karakterafvigeren Ariel Castros ufattelige forbrydelse. Om mareridtet på Seymour Avenue, baseret på pigernes egne optegnelser, krydsklippet med historien om familiernes kamp for de savnede døtre og FBI-agenternes utrættelige søgen efter spor i en sag, der blev mere og mere kold – indtil en mirakuløs mandag i maj 2013. Men det er også pigernes livsbekræftende personlige historie om et spinkelt, spirende håb, materialiseret i Jocelyn, som Amanda fødte i huset. Og om viljen til at overleve manden og monstret, der stjal deres ungdom.

This book explores a range of issues central to STEM and 21st Century education. It explores research into the relationships between creativity, critical thinking and STEM Education from both a theoretical and practical perspective. It examines matters associated with three main concerns: First is the ways some research and development that is labelled "e;STEM"e; appears to be essentially one of the specific individual components, S, T, E or M, with a new label rather than something going across and/or beyond these more traditional components. The second, at times intertwining, concern is the common ways in which school curriculum continues to hold separate disciplines as its core. The third concern is that while cross-curriculum goals are increasingly common in this century - particularly for "e;creativity"e; and "e;critical thinking"e; - it is also common that the goals remain only vaguely linked with the more usual components of the whole curriculum. This book reflects on all three of these important concerns and the integrated whole that can result from them. Monash University, King's College London and Waikato University have now generated six edited books on successive related research issues of significance to contemporary science education. Each of these books has been substantially shaped by a writing workshop involving all authors in intensive discussion about drafts of their contributions (a process of great worth in its own right, as well as for enhancing the value of the final volume), and then each author reworking the contribution in the light of the discussions The seventh will extend beyond science education and explore a range of issues central to STEM and 21st Century education.

Ariel Castro, a local school bus driver, had separately lured Berry and two other young women to his home, where he trapped them and kept them chained. In the decade that followed, the three girls were frequently raped, psychologically abused and threatened with death if they attempted to escape. This book tells their story.

This book captures the excitement and difficulties of self-study of teacher education practices and places it at the forefront of approaches to practitioner inquiry. It presents the issues and ideas underpinning a pedagogy of teacher education in practice.
