A 16-page photospread, introductory essay, chronology, and bibliography complement the dictionary entries.

The Gender Knot, Allan Johnson's response to the pain and confusion that men and women experience by living with gender inequality, explains what patriarchy is and isn't, how it works, and what gets in the way of understanding and doing something about it. Johnson's simple yet powerful approach avoids the paralyzing trap of guilt, blame, anger, and defensive denial that often result from conversations about gender. He shows how we all participate in an oppressive system we didn't create and how each of us can contribute towards its dissolution.
Students learn all the basics about using quotation marks correctly with this book, part of our new "Teaching the Boring Stuff" series. The activities are interesting to young people, often using a monster theme to keep their attention. (Don't worry; they are "wholesome" monsters!)
Quotation Marks uses language that real kids can understand. Also, students are asked to do much more than just fill in punctuation marks. They are required to use what they learn, incorporating quotation marks correctly into material they write themselves.
