| promises to keep paul langan: The Gathering Storm Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, 2009-10-27 Tarmon Gai’don, the Last Battle, looms. And mankind is not ready. The final volume of the Wheel of Time,A Memory of Light,was partially written by Robert Jordan before his untimely passing in 2007. Brandon Sanderson,New York Timesbestselling author of the Mistborn books, was chosen by Jordan’s editor---his wife, Harriet McDougal---to complete the final book. The scope and size of the volume was such that it could not be contained in a single book, and so Tor proudly presentsThe Gathering Stormas the first of three novels that will make upA Memory of Light.This short sequence will complete the struggle against the Shadow, bringing to a close a journey begun almost twenty years ago and marking the conclusion of the Wheel of Time, the preeminent fantasy epic of our era. In this epic novel, Robert Jordan’s international bestselling series begins its dramatic conclusion. Rand al’Thor, the Dragon Reborn, struggles to unite a fractured network of kingdoms and alliances in preparation for the Last Battle. As he attempts to halt the Seanchan encroachment northward---wishing he could form at least a temporary truce with the invaders---his allies watch in terror the shadow that seems to be growing within the heart of the Dragon Reborn himself. Egwene al’Vere, the Amyrlin Seat of the rebel Aes Sedai, is a captive of the White Tower and subject to the whims of their tyrannical leader. As days tick toward the Seanchan attack she knows is imminent, Egwene works to hold together the disparate factions of Aes Sedai while providing leadership in the face of increasing uncertainty and despair. Her fight will prove the mettle of the Aes Sedai, and her conflict will decide the future of the White Tower---and possibly the world itself. The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass. What was, what will be, and what is, may yet fall under the Shadow. At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied. |

| promises to keep paul langan: Freedomization Dustin Langan, 2013-01-29 April 2003. Saddam Hussein has been toppled from power and a coalition government is emerging from the rubble to rebuild Iraq. Joining the effort is Jeremy, an idealistic young American who speaks Arabic, but he is not the only one who wants to help. Soon a whole cast of characters descend upon Baghdad, competing to fill the power void and restore Iraq to its rightful place at any cost. A satirical portrayal of the first year of the occupation, Freedomization is a novel about making a difference, the corrosive nature of mistrust and how not everything can be solved with the right technique. Satire is based on brutal honesty, and this is what this impressive fictional account of the first year of the US adventure in Iraq has to offer. This book affords a downright realistic glimpse of what in hindsight is a shocking experience. -- Joost Hiltermann, Chief Operating Officer of International Crisis Group Brought back many memories and... caught the vibe inside and outside the Green Zone better than anything else I've read. -- Tom Parker, CTITF Adviser on Human Rights and Counter-Terrorism at the United Nations I am thrilled with it. It is more real than Emerald City or Assassin's Gate. It feels like it felt. -- Stephen Epstein, Foreign Affairs Officer at US State Department When I say it triggered my PTSD, I mean that as a compliment. The sense of time and place were very real. The characterizations were good, and again, very familiar. [...] A good story about a topic too often ignored. -- Peter Van Buren, author of We Meant Well: How I Helped Lose the Battle for the Hearts and Minds of the Iraqi People I thoroughly enjoyed it. [...] It captures very well the level of mutual incomprehension and it certainly added an extra dimension to set the book amongst the interpreters where this aspect comes over at its sharpest, and often at its most poignant. [...] A great achievement. -- Charles Tripp, Professor of Politics at SOAS, University of London and author of The Power and the People: Paths of Resistance in the Middle East Enormously entertaining. It reminded me of so many experiences in Iraq and was much better than those think tank types on the Green Zone. -- Pepe Escobar, roving correspondent for the Asia Times and author of Red Zone Blues and Obama Does Globalistan Freedomization is a remarkable novel, both more realistic and more hilarious than U.S. news coverage of the liberation of Iraq. I'm inclined to say it would be funny if it weren't so tragic, but I can't because it truly is uproariously funny. Maybe clear thinking will follow the laughter; it sure hasn't followed anything else yet. -- David Swanson, anti-war activist and author of War Is A Lie and War No More |

| promises to keep paul langan: Confronting Corruption Jeremy Pope, 2000 The first version of this Source Book argued the case for a National Integrity System, an holistic approach to transparency and accountability and embracing a range of accountability pillars, democratic, judicial, media and civil society. The expression has since passed into common usage in development circles, and the argument for an holistic approach to anti-corruption efforts has similarly achieved a widespread consensus. The fight against corruption is not wholly a moral one, in the sense that it is a struggle against the intrinsic evil of corruption. Certainly there is a moral element - and one which cuts across al major religions and societies throughout the world. But the compelling reason for the struggle is the suffering and deprivation corruption brings to whole societies, and to the world's most poor. It is concern for the latter, rather than a distaste for the corrupt and their deeds, that rightly drives the global movement against corruption. |

| promises to keep paul langan: Expecting Excellence in Urban Schools Jelani Jabari, 2013-04-01 One of the most immediate challenges in K–12 schools lies in implementing powerful pedagogy which emotionally, intellectually, and behaviorally engages students. The challenge is compounded in urban schools where higher proportions of underprepared minority students are in classrooms with teachers who find it difficult to not only create bonds but also in packaging pedagogy in relevant, interesting, and meaningful ways. Though many teachers can temporarily tap students’ interests or episodically engage students in a portion of a lesson, the ability to create and sustain an engaging educational practice remains largely elusive. This book supplies the missing threads through establishing a framework for student engagement, which has been cited as the number one factor impacting achievement. It is an easy read, written a highly conversational tone with a strong research basis. You will explore a 7 step process for emotionally, intellectually, and behaviorally engaging students with a wealth of specific strategies, techniques, and tools which create an engaging educational experience. Utilizing cornerstones of professional learning communities, suggestions are offered for utilizing action research, collaborative inquiry, journal study, and shared practice to integrate ideas into practice. |
