New Mexico’s Sangre de Cristo mountains are a place where two cultures — Hispanic and Anglo — meet. They''re also the place where three men meet: William deBuys, a young writer; Alex Harris, a young photographer; and Jacobo Romero, an old farmer. When Harris and deBuys move to New Mexico in the 1970s, Romero is the neighbor who befriends them and becomes their teacher. With the tools of simple labor — shovel and axe, irony and humor — he shows them how to survive, even flourish, in their isolated village. A remarkable look at modern life in the mountains, River of Traps also magically evokes the now-vanished world in which Romero tended flocks on frontier ranges and absorbed the values of a society untouched by cash or Anglo America. His memories and wisdom, shared without sentimentality, permeate this absorbing story of three men and the place that forever shaped their lives.

For thirty years Alex Harris has lived part of each year in northern New Mexico, responding to the vernacular life of the Hispanic villages both as a photographer and writer, but also as a neighbor and friend. Like the novelist, John Berger, Harris draws his primary inspiration and unique vision from his immersion into the lives and experiences of the people he documents. This extraordinary retrospective publication brings together for the first time Harris'' black-and-white and color photographs of northern New Mexico and his surprising, cinematic color images from the city of Havana, Cuba. Harris photographs these two manifestations of the Spanish diaspora with a curious American edge. In New Mexico, television sets frame both saints and soap operas; dancing, naked hippies are set in sharp relief against the traditions of Hispanic village life. In Havana, centuries-old baroque architecture and evidence of more recent communist culture take on new meanings when photographed from the perspective of the backseats of 1950''s vintage American cars. In many of these images, people are altogether absent, yet richly evoked through the objects they have made and touched, worshiped and used over the years.

From this historic collaboration between a beloved naturalist and a great American photographer emerges a South we’ve never encountered before. Entranced by Edward O. Wilson’s mesmerizing evocation of his Southern childhood in The Naturalist and Anthill, Alex Harris approached the scientist about collaborating on a book about Wilson’s native world of Mobile, Alabama. Perceiving that Mobile was a city small enough to be captured through a lens yet old enough to have experienced a full epic cycle of tragedy and rebirth, the photographer and the naturalist joined forces to capture the rhythms of this storied Alabama Gulf region through a swirling tango of lyrical words and breathtaking images. With Wilson tracing his family’s history from the Civil War through the Depression—when mule-driven wagons still clogged the roads—to Mobile’s racial and environmental struggles to its cultural triumphs today, and with Harris stunningly capturing the mood of a radically transformed city that has adapted to the twenty-first century, the book becomes a universal story, one that tells us where we all come from and why we are here.

Achieve and the U.S. Education Delivery Institute have developed a practical Common Core Implementation Workbook for all states in the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC). This workbook uses a proven performance management methodology known as "delivery" to lay out clear action steps for states and districts. It provides relevant information, case stories of good practice, key questions and hands-on exercises for leadership teams to complete together. Regardless of one''s timeline, the workbook offers state and district leaders the means to plan for the CCSS and then drive successful implementation. The workbook begins with a diagnostic assessment to help readers determine where their Common Core State Standards (CCSS) implementation effort is going well and areas of challenge that merit additional attention. After the diagnostic, the next sections of the workbook focus on how the state agency and school districts can organize for implementation. The workbook then offers a set of implementation actions that consist of the actual work of the CCSS transition. Chapters 5 and 6 help readers answer the critical questions for two key actions: how to align curricular and instructional materials and how to train educators on the CCSS. The workbook ends with Chapter 11, which answers the final question--how to monitor progress and sustain momentum, a topic that obviously applies across all the implementation actions. Individual chapters contain endnotes. ["Implementing Common Core State Standards and Assessments: A Workbook for State and District Leaders" was written with the assistance of Marie O''Hara and Lauren Kurczewski. This paper was developed with the U.S. Education Delivery Institute.].

"The study of steroid metabolism began in the eighteenth century with the demonstration of the presence of several steroids (cholesterol and the bile acids) in the animal organism. The discovery of the steroid hormones and the realization of their wide physiological significance, however, diverted the attention of most workers in the field to the study of those steroids possessing endocrine activity. Only cholesterol, by virtue of the abundance of this sterol in all mammalian tissues and its importance in pathological conditions, continued to be investigated. [...]" --
