It's more than six years since the bestselling Lazy Teacher's Handbook was first published and Jim Smith's Lazy Teaching philosophy has developed significantly in that time. This new revised edition details Jim s latest thinking on how to be the best lazy, but outstanding, teacher you can be. Every chapter has been revised and some significantly expanded, particularly those on planning, conducting and reviewing lazy lessons. Others have been updated with Jim s latest tried-and-tested techniques, which all shift the emphasis away from the teaching and onto the learning. Have you ever wondered what would happen in your classroom if you simply stopped teaching? Over the last few decades the demands of countless education initiatives, not to mention the pressures good teachers put on themselves, have seen so much teaching squeezed into our lessons, it must have squeezed out some of the learning. Maybe if we spent a little less time teaching and gave students a little more time to learn, things would be different. Maybe this would allow us more opportunities to build relationships with the class and develop that all-important rapport with the individuals who might just need us most. Maybe we could even reclaim our Sunday afternoons from planning and marking? The Lazy Way can help you get more out of your students and at the same time help you to get your life back. More than just a series of tricks, the Lazy Way is something Jim Smith has put together over years of experience working with all sorts of learners (and teachers) who want their lessons to be different yet still be rewarded with academic success. The approach was born out of Jim's frustration with doing a job he loves but being slowly killed by it in the process. And, as all good psychologists know, if necessity is the mother of invention then frustration is the absent father, and being knackered the grown-up sibling who just won t leave home. If you want your students to learn more and you to work less, then The Lazy Teacher's Handbook provides you with all the arguments and evidence you need. The new edition is packed full of even more easy-to-apply, highly effective strategies (which Ofsted have rated as outstanding) all with the seal of approval from real students in real classrooms. So, next time someone tells you to get a life, this book will make it possible.

Spomeniks literally meaning "Monuments" in Serbo-Croatian, look like spaceships conspicuously parked up in the middle of nowhere, alien to their surroundings, their bizarre beauty deriving from both their abstract location and imaginative symbolism. Follow in the footsteps of French photographer Jonathan "Jonk" Jimenez as he tries to track down these super-sized public structures. Once numbering in their thousands and attracting millions of visitors every year, they were revered by young pioneers as part of their "patriotic education". Pushing architecture to it's limits, Spomeniks are what happens when brutalism, symbolism, space age aesthetics and abstraction meet.

Even though it was a time of near financial ruin in Flanders, Baroque art flourished during this period thanks to the patronage of an arts-minded aristocracy. Meanwhile, the Dutch had become rich from trade and the desire for art found its way into almost every social class in the Netherlands. The naturalistic traditions shared by the two halves of the Low Countries experienced a renaissance of their own at this time.

When considering Impressionism, we associate it with the atmospheric landscapes, lively portraits and city scenes of Monet, Renoir, Degas and Cezanne. Utilizing a sketchy painting style, which was accomplished in situ, these artists were able to capture the moment, with their colors corresponding to the prevailing light and weather conditions. This volume, featuring around 300 illustrations, gives an overall perspective of the painting of the Impressionists.

Photographs of archaeological remains and the natural world are overlaid on colorful tiled backgrounds drawn on the back of vintage movie posters, to create a hypnotic and mesmerizing vernacular of symbols and designs. Featuring an introduction by LACMA curator Leslie Jones, Primer, is the first publication of Craven's art and a reconfiguration of traditional historical narratives inspired by obsessive formations.

"Il Piccolo Principe" è una delle opere letterarie più famose e lette del Ventesimo secolo, venduta in circa centoquaranta milioni di copie e tradotta in oltre duecento lingue. Pur concepito come un libro per l'infanzia, il racconto è diventato nel tempo un vero e proprio "cult", amato anche dagli adulti, ripreso in numerose trasposizioni cinematografiche. Al centro della narrazione una storia di amore e amicizia, incardinata su un pilota d'aerei precipitato nel Sahara che incontra uno strano bambino, il Piccolo Principe, che gli dice di essere lì piombato da un lontano asteroide, su cui vive da solo assieme a tre vulcani e una piccola rosa, da lui amata incondizionatamente. Dopo aver vagabondato per molti pianeti, il Piccolo Principe incontra alla fine, giunto sulla Terra, una volpe del deserto dalle lunghe orecchie, che lo supplica di addomesticarla. In questa scena c'è forse la chiave di volta dell'intero racconto, il suo cuore emotivo: la nostalgia struggente di un'amicizia pura. Il grande classico per l'infanzia ma anche per gli adulti, nella nuova, versione di una delle più brave traduttrici italiane. Prefazione Chiara Gamberale. Età di lettura: da 8 anni.

In the 18th century pugs found their way onto the laps of noblewomen and, with this, into the portraits of contemporary rulers. Small and forever panting, the pug could not be put to use as a watchdog or a herding dog, but it compensated for this with it's charm. The dog ultimately found it's way onto porcelain and faience. Johann Joachim Kandler, the most significant modeler of the Meissen porcelain manufactory, designed over 60 variants of the pug between 1740 and 1760 - standing, lying, scratching, and performing tricks. Kandler portrayed the pug belonging to Count Heinrich von Bru hl in a splendid one-off, but he also produced models for serial production. This southern German collection comprises over 150 ceramic pugs as well as other dogs. Moreover, they do not just appear individually; they may also be part of a courtly scene or decorate wares in the gallant style - accessories such as flacons, (snuff) boxes, and walking-stick handles.

A stunning book exploring the cycle of the seasons, the passage of time, the way people live, play, forget, remember... Through objects, places and actions, the world is revealed as both permanent and ever-changing. At first glance, this is a beautiful art book reminiscent of the children's book illustration of the 1960s. The most striking thing about it for me is that it forces you to slow down and to reflect on the associations within, which are not always immediately obvious. When you read the book as a whole, you really do get the sense that the world is both changing and unchanging. It's a meditation. The more times you read this book, the more you get out of it.

Cette étude est un essai d'interprétation de l'expérience existentielle que serait le grotesque avant d'être une catégorie esthétique. À travers l'analyse de l'effet produit par quelques romans de Dostoïevski, Kafka, Henry Miller, Céline, Beckett, Günter Grass, Sony Labou Tansi, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Philip Roth, l'auteur propose de voir dans le grotesque un mécanisme anthropologique fondamental que les sociétés mettent en place pour penser l'altérité et le changement.
