Links: My Family in American History
by William A. LinkArthur Link (1920-1998) was one of the great historians of his generation, a prolific author with a wide following inside and outside the profession. For many years the foremost authority on Woodrow Wilson, he wrote a five-volume biography of the president and edited a sixty-nine volume edition of Wilson’s papers.Margaret Link (1918-1996), his wife and fellow North Carolinian, was the emotional core of the family. As an activist, she helped form an interdenominational crisis ministry in Princeton that reached out to the poor with counseling, clothing, and food, and she was a cofounder and president of the Association for the Advancement of Mental Health.In Links, their youngest son--an accomplished and award-winning historian--offers a moving and unsentimental biography of two individuals who experienced the intense change and tumult of the South during the mid-twentieth century. Drawing from a rich trove of letters, interviews with friends and family, and unique insights, Link offers a highly detailed, evocative portrait of the coming of age and lifelong partnership of his parents. Links combines the objectivity and critical judgment of the professional historian with the subjectivity and deep emotional connection of the memoirist who participated directly in part of the story.
Linsly School, The
by Robert W. SchrammOlder than the state of West Virginia itself, The Linsly School was the first college preparatory school established west of the Alleghanies. The school was originally founded in 1814 as Wheeling Lancastrian Academy, and became an all-boys institution at the beginning of the Civil War. In 1876, Linsly began serving as a military institution. It is the Linsly doctrine that nothing of substantial or lasting value comes without hard work and sacrifice, and its existence today is testament to that philosophy. Adhering to its motto, "Forward and no retreat!," the school carried itself through almost two centuries of war, pestilence, and economic depressions to become an honored and beloved institution in which generations of students take tremendous pride.Today's non-military, coeducational Linsly School continues to enrich students in grades five through twelve with values of honesty, sportsmanship, hard work, and discipline. Through rare and never-before-seen vintage photographs, The Linsly School chronicles the fascinating and inspiring story of the tribulations and successes of the school itself, and the people who worked, sacrificed, and dreamed to make it happen.

Lire le monde: Les littératies multiples et l’éducation dans les communautés francophones (Collection Questions en éducation)
by Diana MasnyLe mot littératie désigne l'ensemble des connaissances nécessaires à la lecture et à l'écriture. Nouveau en éducation, le concept des littératies multiples reflète notre ère de la mondialisation, où lire et écrire ne sont plus confinés à l'imprimé. Il s'agit de parler, de lire, d'écrire et de valoriser les réalités de la vie dans la multiplicité et la complexité, c'est-à-dire lire, se lire et lire le monde tout en tenant compte du visuel, de l'oral, de l'écrit, du tactile et de l'hypermédiatique. Ce recueil remet en question la culture de l'écrit et aborde les diverses dimensions des littératies multiples par rapport aux mathématiques, à la musique, aux sciences et à la santé, et ce, pour les enfants, les adolescents et les adultes en milieu minoritaire. Il s'adresse aux chercheurs, aux praticiens, aux intervenants et aux organismes gouvernementaux et communautaires qui doivent comprendre comment les minorités linguistiques lisent au 21e siècle.Publié en français
