Astronomical concepts can be truly hard to comprehend, especially those of planetary sizes and distances from Earth and from each other. These concepts are made more comprehensible by the group of illustrations in this book, which put scale extraterrestrial objects side by side with objects on Earth we can more easily relate to. For example, study the pictures of Earth floating above Jupiter’s Great Red Spot and the asteroid Itokawa resting beside Toronto’s CN Tower. These mind-bending images bring things better into perspective and will help you understand the size and scale of our Solar System.  <div> <br> </div> <div> In later chapters, you will be told how close the visionaries of the past came to guessing what today’s explorers would find. Astronomer/painter Lucien Rudaux’s masterpieces of Mars dust storms anticipated Viking and Mars rover images by nearly a century. Space artist Ludek Pesek envisioned astronauts setting up camp on the lunar surface in scenes hauntingly similar to photos taken by Apollo astronauts decades later. But the real benefit of this work is in better grasping the nature of our universe -- how big it is, now large it is, and how we fit into it. </div>

<p>Harnessing Paulo Freire’s critical analysis of education and society, In Search of a Canon explores Africa and Asia, and their relationship to Europe, and Europe’s connection to the rest of the western world. As such, this book is situated in the tradition of critical scholars as it explores the relationship between historical processes and the development of a canon, or literature that is considered as sacred or accepted. In doing so, it intricately explores the intersection of history, religion (sacred text), race relations and education. The book uncovers the origins of the human family tree and the historical context related to the emergence of sacred literature and institutionalized systems of thought and educational processes. It presents critical dates, timelines and perspectives that are aimed at raising awareness in order to make schools and society more humane and democratic. </p> <p>Greg Wiggan is Associate Professor of Urban Education, Adjunct Associate Professor of Sociology, and Affiliate Faculty Member of Africana Studies at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. His research addresses urban education and urban sociology in the context of school processes that promote high achievement among African American students and other underserved minority student populations. In doing so, his research also examines the broader connections between the history of urbanization, globalization processes and the internationalization of education in urban schools. His books include: Global Issues in Education: Pedagogy, Policy, Practice, and the Minority Experience; Education in a Strange Land: Globalization, Urbanization, and Urban Schools – The Social and Educational Implications of the Geopolitical Economy; Curriculum Violence: America’s New Civil Rights Issue; Education for the New Frontier: Race, Education and Triumph in Jim Crow America 1867–1945; Following the Northern Star: Caribbean Identities and Education in North American Schools; and Unshackled: Education for Freedom, Student Achievement and Personal Emancipation.</p>

"The recognition and study of African American (AA) artists and public intellectuals often include Martin Luther King, Jr., and occasionally Booker T. Washington, W.E.B. DuBois, and Malcolm X. The literary canon also adds Ralph Ellison, Richard White, Langston Hughes, and others such as female writers Zora Neale Hurston, Maya Angelou, and Alice Walker. Yet, the acknowledgement of AA artists and public intellectuals tends to skew the voices and works of those included toward normalized portrayals that fit wellwithin foundational aspects of the American myths refl ected in and perpetuated by traditional schooling. Further, while many AA artists and public intellectuals are distorted by mainstream media, public and political characterizations, and the curriculum, several powerful AA voices are simply omitted, ignored, including James Baldwin. This edited volume gathers a collection of essays from a wide range of perspectives that confront Baldwin’s impressive and challenging canon as well as his role as a public intellectual. Contributors also explore Baldwin as a confrontational voice during his life and as an enduring call for justice."

<b>Sur les traces du célèbre explorateur du Congo</b> <br>Deux amoureux se perdent dans la jungle et rêvent de se marier au prochain village pygmée : <i>Traîne-Savane</i> raconte l’histoire (vraie) de ce mariage romanesque décidé sur un coup de tête, au bout d’une longue errance au cœur de la forêt congolaise. Cent cinquante ans plus tôt, le zélé missionnaire David Livingstone déambulait le long des fleuves d’Afrique centrale, à la recherche d’une terre promise, d’une autoroute du commerce ou de sources miraculeuses. Fantasque et têtu, rêveur et maladroit, l’explorateur menait vaillamment ses combats impossibles jusqu’à ce que Stanley le retrouve sur les berges du lac Tanganyika et lui lance son mythique : « Doctor Livingstone, I presume... » <br> <br>En tressant ces deux parcours picaresques, Guillaume Jan relie le destin de ces Don Quichotte qui, chacun à leur manière, donnent leur cœur au continent noir. Curieusement, aucune biographie solide du Docteur Livingstone n’avait été jusqu’ici établie en langue française. <br> <br> <b>Mêlant aventure et histoire, ce roman est une fabuleuse source d'éléments biographiques sur David Linvingstone</b> <br> <br>CE QU'EN PENSE LA CRITIQUE <br> <br>- "La plume de Guillaume Jan est fine, sensible et douce. Ouvrir ce livre, c’est comme se jeter dans les bras du Congo, les laisser se refermer sur nous et nous emporter dans une histoire aussi drôle que passionnante." <b>(Marie Musy, <i>Librairie du Midi</i>)</b> <br>- "On ne regrette pas ce voyage picaresque, haut en couleur et en humanité. Un récit pépite enchanteur." <b>(Alphonse Guillaume, <i>Modes & Travaux</i>)</b> <br>- "Sa passion pour l’Afrique vibre chaque instant dans ce récit vif et captivant." <b>(Nathalie Kermorvant, <i>Le Télégramme</i>)</b> <br>- " <i>Traîne-Savane</i> est une ode à l’Afrique centrale qui se termine avec brio par une description poignante de la capitale de la République démocratique du Congo et du vibrant quotidien des Kinois." <b>(Léa Desrayaud, <i>Le Point</i>)</b> <br> <br>A PROPOS DE L'AUTEUR <br> <br> <b>Guillaume Jan</b>, né en 1973, est reporter dans la presse magazine française. Son métier lui a permis d’être chercheur d’or en Guyane, de partager le quotidien des jeunes Irakiens sous l’empire de Saddam Hussein, de slalomer entre les mines à Kaboul, de séjourner dans le charmant village d’Al-Qaida au Yémen, de suivre les enseignements d’un gourou biterrois dans son ashram en Inde, d’infiltrer une filière de concubines en Chine, de jouer au ballon avec l’équipe de foot de Grozny ou au billard avec des gangsters anglais. Il vit à Paris. En 2009, il a publié <i>Le Baobab de Stanley</i>, ballade douce-amère au cœur de l’Afrique. <br> <br>EXTRAIT <br> <br>Le lion est à trente pas, tapi dans les hautes herbes. Livingstone lève lentement le canon de sa carabine, tente de viser entre les yeux jaunes et tire. Deux coups. Le fauve est sûrement touché, puisque son furieux rugissement déch...
