Best Practices for Technology-Enhanced Teaching and Learning: Connecting to Psychology and the Social Sciences

The use of technology and teaching techniques derived from technology is currently a bourgeoning topic in higher education. Teachers at all levels and types of institutions want to know how these new technologies will affect what happens in and outside of the classroom. Many teachers have already embraced some of these technologies but remain uncertain about their educational efficacy. Other teachers have waited because they are reluctant to try tools or techniques that remain unproven or, as is often the case, lack institutional support.

The Collected Short Fiction of C.J. Cherryh

Millions of C. J. Cherryh fans should be preparing thank-you letters to DAW for having the insight to collect into one volume Cherryh's short stories, novellas, and novelettes. Included in the collection are the Hugo Award–winning "Cassandra" and classics like "The Unshadowed Land" and "Mech," as well as a never-before-published Sunfall story!

"Masks," the new Sunfall tale, takes place in a quixotic Venice of the far future -- a "city at war between sea and land, a city that has found a unique way to be modern, and still to remain so perfectly ancient."

The Iliad of Homer

This long-awaited new edition of Lattimore's Iliad is designed to bring the book into the twenty-first century—while leaving the poem as firmly rooted in ancient Greece as ever. Lattimore's elegant, fluent verses—with their memorably phrased heroic epithets and remarkable fidelity to the Greek—remain unchanged, but classicist Richard Martin has added a wealth of supplementary materials designed to aid new generations of readers.

Grades 5-8.
Nate Quarter and his friends are on an epic quest that leads them to ghosts of heroes past and through a storm that threatens to end the world as they know it. The extensive saga of the Edge Chronicles concludes in this exciting yet weighty tome that ties past plots to the present and still leaves the door ajar for future outings. Multiple story lines eventually join, enriched (again) by Riddell’s line drawings; species and character names remain feats of linguistic acrobatics; and the never-ending action will satisfy returning fans and adventurous new readers. Starting with earlier volumes is helpful but not essential.
