7 septembre 1979. C'est la première semaine de cours au collège Hélène Keller. Oliver « Boo » Dalrymple - élève de quatrième à la pâleur spectrale et au coeur malade, scientifique en herbe et paria social - récite les cent six éléments du tableau périodique devant son casier. Dans la seconde qui suit, il se réveille au « Village », un au-delà exclusivement réservé aux trépassés de treize ans. Il ne tarde pas à découvrir que sa mort ne résulte pas, comme il le croyait, d'une défaillance de son coeur malade. Boo a été assassiné
Et le coupable pourrait bien l'avoir suivi jusque dans l'au-delà... -

Billy Lafitte, saison 1.Une vision toute particulière de la justice et de la morale a valu à Billy Lafitte d'être viré de la police du Mississippi. Il végète aujourd'hui comme shérif adjoint dans les plaines sibériennes du Minnesota, avec l'alcool et les filles du coin pour lui tenir compagnie, les laboratoires clandestins de meth pour occuper ses journées. Si Billy franchit toutes les lignes, on peut néanmoins lui reconnaître une chose : il a un grand coeur. Ainsi, lorsqu'une amie lui demande de tirer d'affaire son fiancé, impliqué dans une sale affaire de drogue, c'est bien volontiers qu'il accepte. Quelques jours plus tard, Billy est arrêté par le FBI, enfermé dans une cellule au milieu de nulle part, et sommé de s'expliquer sur tous ces cadavres qui se sont soudain accumulés autour de lui.
Jamais bien-pensant, Anthony Neil Smith nous offre un noir bien frappé. Prenant le relais de Jim Thompson, Sam Peckinpah et James Crumley, il se demande à son tour comment préserver une vérité humaine, intègre, rebelle, dans un pays où règne un ordre hypocrite. Vous allez vite devenir accro à Billy Lafite, soyez heureux, vous le retrouverez très bientôt dans une saison 2 encore plus déjantée. -
Noir comme la vengeance.L'agent du FBI Franklin Rome a juré la perte de Billy Lafitte, ex-shérif adjoint dans le Minnesota. À n'importe quel prix. Il est vrai que, pour un homme de loi, l'existence de Billy ressemble à une insulte perpétuelle. Celui-ci a en effet à peu près tous les vices imaginables. Aussi, après quelques tracas avec sa hiérarchie, Billy a-t-il quitté les forces de l'ordre pour entrer dans un groupe de bikers, comme on entre en religion. Là, sous les ordres de l'impitoyable Steel God, il peut enfin mener une existence à peu près tranquille. Mais s'il pense avoir tiré un trait sur son passé, celui-ci le rattrape lorsque l'agent Rome décide de s'en prendre à son ex-femme et à ses enfants. Tragique erreur : il ne fait pas bon chercher Billy Lafitte. Et l'affrontement entre les deux hommes promet d'être impitoyable.
Après
Lune Noire, Anthony Neil Smith nous convie à une véritable équipée sauvage aux côtés de son anti-héros, plus teigneux et plus drôle que jamais. -

Teaching Computing Unplugged in Primary Schools

Teaching primary computing without computers?
The Computing curriculum is a challenge for primary school teachers. The realities of primary school resources mean limited access to computer hardware. But computing is about more than computers. Important aspects of the fundamental principles and concepts of computer science can be taught without any hardware. Children can learn to analyse problems and computational terms and apply computational thinking to solve problems without turning on a computer.
This book shows you how you can teach computing through `unplugged' activities. It provides lesson examples and everyday activities to help teachers and pupils explore computing concepts in a concrete way, accelerating their understanding and grasp of key ideas such as abstraction, logic, algorithms and data representation. The unplugged approach is physical and collaborative, using kinaesthetic learning to help make computing concepts more meaningful and memorable.
This book will help you to elevate your teaching, and your children's learning of computing beyond the available hardware. It focuses on the building blocks of understanding required for computation thinking. -

There is an international perspective on the analysis of leadership theory and practice, integrating examples from a variety of cultural settings and exploring education at all phases from primary to higher' - Stephen Merrill, Edge Hill College of Higher Education, Journal of In-Service Education
`Leadership in Education offers an excellent analysis of the current debate: well informed on research and practice, positive but critical. It is particularly strong on what it calls "the railway-bookstall offerings of context-independent leadership".... There is a great deal of practical wisdom within these very accessible pages' - Michael Duffy, Times Educational Supplement
This book deals with leadership in all sectors, from primary to higher education. It presents an international perspective on the analysis of leadership theory and practice, with the integration of exemplars from different cultural settings.
The authors provide a wide range of conceptual perspectives on leadership. Themes include:
- the efficacy of centralized versus distributed concepts of leadership
- the contrast between competency and academic models of leadership development
- the contradistinction between functionalist and democratic models of leadership.
These themes are developed in four sections:
- Conceptualization
- Leadership development
- Teachers as leaders
- Leadership in practice
Contributors include:
Clive Dimmock, Peter Gronn, Marianne Coleman, Peter Ribbins, Ray Bolam, Peter Newton, Kenneth Leithwood, Helen Gunter, Lynn Davis, Clive Harber and Graham Peeke
This book is recommended to all involved in educational management, particularly to students, teachers, researchers, policy makers and educational administrators.
The Centre for Educational Leadership and Management series, edited by Tony Bush, examines the impact of the many changes in the management of schools and colleges, drawing on empirical evidence. The approach if analytical rather than descriptive and generates conclusions about the most effective ways of managing schools on the basis of research evidence. -
