Drawing on ten years of research into whole-of-school teaching improvement, this engaging text explains what teaching improvement requires, how it is achieved, and how to maintain it in your classroom and school. Based on studies involving real schools and real teachers, The Teaching Improvement Agenda is focused on what really matters for teachers and leaders in today’s schools. The book begins with an examination of the education field to identify the fundamental elements which inform and generate teaching improvement. This lays the foundations for an instructive set of innovative, research-informed strategies which have been designed to empower the teacher and school leader to improve teaching across the whole school. The book closes with a series of case studies that demonstrate these approaches in action. Answering the "what?" and "how?" questions of teaching improvement, this book is an essential guide for school leaders and teachers, as well as instructors and students in initial teacher education.

Een gids voor creatieve geesten. ‘Met dit boek onthult Lynch de bron van creativiteit.’ – 8weekly Alles gaat steeds sneller en soms lijkt het alsof de wereld aan je voorbij gaat. In Meditatie en creativiteit beschrijft wereldberoemd regisseur David Lynch de positieve effecten die mediteren op zijn artistieke leven hebben. Lynch laat zien hoe meditatie, inspiratie, en soms puur toeval hebben bijgedragen aan meesterwerken zoals Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet en Twin Peaks. Aan de hand van deze befaamde films illustreert Lynch in korte en toegankelijke teksten hoe je ruimte schept voor nieuwe ideeën, twijfels over creativiteit overwint, en hoe je opnieuw inspiratie vindt als je vastzit. ''Lynch schrijft losjes over het effect van meditatie, met af toe prachtige metaforen, zoals die over de vissen. Ben je op zoek naar kleine vissen dan kun je gerust in ondiep water blijven. Maar wie grote vissen wil vangen, moet naar dieper water.'' - Trouw

Improving Schools with Blended Learning is specifically designed to address the important issues needed to successfully modernise education within the context of technological change. It does this by first providing a clear roadmap for designing Blended Learning environments able to respond to the technological imperatives challenging schools at present, and then illustrating this roadmap via specific, original research that details the ''how to'' aspects of a successful technology-based design process. School leaders, teachers, teacher education students and researchers will all find highly relevant information about how to manage for disruption in the new and informative approach to Blended Learning (BL) they will discover in this book. This book arose from two different research projects the authors have been pursuing over the last 3–5 years, including school improvement research and Blended Learning research designed to investigate the role of technology in effective teaching and learning. By combining the insights gained from these two different research areas, this book is able to present a novel understanding of BL that is both insightful and clearly evidence-based. Improving Schools with Blended Learning also provides several original contributions to specific knowledge in the areas of BL and school improvement that most educators will find highly useful, including the use of BL schemas, a clear and extended BL continuum, how to measure and evaluate the success of BL, how to scaffold teacher ICT knowledge and skills, and a specific process for contextualising applied BL in relation to the ‘disruption’ imperatives of the Knowledge Economy.

Over the past 30 years high-resolution CT (HRCT) has matured to become an integral part of the multidisciplinary evaluation in diffuse lung disease. In this regard, Webb, Muller and Naidich’s High-Resolution CT of the Lung, 6th Edition, is a ‘gold standard’ reference that aims to keep radiologists and pulmonologists alike at the cutting edge of the ever-evolving field of thoracic imaging. The new US-European author team continues the tradition of excellence which readers have come to expect while the underlying layout and ethos — established by the ‘founding’ author team — remain. The new edition aims to brings readers up to date not only with recent advances but also with the important conceptual changes in thinking in various fields of thoracic imaging. Also featured in this updated edition is authoritative guidance on HRCT findings and differential diagnosis, as well as the characteristics of the common lung diseases assessed using HRCT, all enhanced by a multitude of new images and updated content throughout.

Neotřelá kombinace biografie a memoáru dokazuje, že ani kniha o životě a díle geniálního režiséra Davida Lynche nemůže být obyčejná. Vůbec poprvé odkrývá okolnosti zrodu jeho smělých filmových vizí, jako jsou Městečko Twin Peaks, Sloní muž, Mazací hlava, Lost Highway nebo Mulholland Drive. Životopis napsala novinářka Kristine McKennová na základě více než stovky rozhovorů s Lynchovými přáteli, rodinnými příslušníky, bývalými manželkami, herci, agenty, hudebníky a dalšími spolupracovníky. Do textu však vstupuje sám Lynch svými upřímnými komentáři, překvapí například vzpomínkou na pražské natáčení hudby k Modrému sametu nebo zábavnými i ledacos odkrývajícími historkami z dětství a studentských let. Text doprovází téměř stovka unikátních fotografií z Lynchovy soukromé sbírky. Kniha tak pohltí nováčky i lynchovské fanatiky.

Um mergulho sem precedentes na vida pessoal e criativa do visionário cineasta David Lynch, por meio de suas próprias palavras e do olhar de colegas de trabalho, família e amigos. Uma combinação única de biografia e memórias, talvez Espaço para sonhar seja mais precisamente descrito como uma história oral da carreira de Lynch. O livro traz intercalados capítulos escritos por Kristine McKenna pelo próprio cineasta, mesclando depoimentos de familiares, amigos e profissionais que trabalharam com Lynch e a perspectiva do próprio diretor. O resultado é um livro que acompanha o estilo único e a reverência peculiar de Lynch, uma obra singular que dá ao leitor acesso único à vida e à mente de um dos artistas vivos mais originais e enigmáticos da atualidade.

David Lynch realiza una original incursión en el género biográfico. Un libro magnético y particular. Espacio para soñar ofrece una mirada insólita a la vida personal y creativa del cineasta David Lynch, a través de sus propias palabras y las de sus colegas más próximos, amigos y parientes. En este libro singular, a caballo entre la biografía y las memorias, David Lynch se sincera por primera vez acerca de una vida dedicada a perseguir un imaginario único, deteniéndose en las penurias y las luchas que soportó para llevar a buen puerto sus proyectos heterodoxos. Las reflexiones de Lynch --líricas, íntimas y sin tapujos-- parten, capítulo tras capítulo, de las secciones biográficas que aporta su estrecha colaboradora Kristine McKenna, sustentadas en más de cien entrevistas inéditas con ex mujeres sorprendentemente francas, miembros de su familia, actores, agentes, músicos y colegas en todo tipo de disciplinas, cada uno con su propia versión de lo ocurrido. Espacio para soñar es un libro llamado a no perecer jamás, un pase exclusivo a las bambalinas de la vida y la mente de uno de los artistas más enigmáticos y sustancialmente originales de nuestro tiempo. La crítica ha dicho... «Si esperaban que la biografía de David Lynch fuese como cualquier otra, es que nunca han visto una de sus películas. Un libro fascinante.» The New York Times «E spacio para soñar bien podría ser el evangelio según David Lynch. Aquí hay infinidad de informaciones inéditas incluso para los más fanáticos. Y todo estácontado con el formidable encanto del cineasta, una mezcla de entusiasmo juvenil y sabidurá cósmica.» The Washington Post «Las memorias de David Lynch iluminan los orígenes de su arte. El humor y las excentricidades de sus recuerdos y observaciones son uno de los innegables atractivos de este libro.» The Economist «Lynch es todo un maestro para los locos perversos e inquietantes, y también para los locos del montón.» The Sunday Times «Un libro gozosamente fuera de lo convencional. Lynch escribe como habla. Esplana y llanamente directo, alegremente profano y se entusiasma repentinamente con lo más inesperado.» The Big Issue «Descubrimos o redescubrimos aspectos singulares de su singular personalidad, todo ello desde una perspectiva honesta, algo excéntrica y también a ratos divertida y cálida. [...] A medio camino entre la biografía y las memorias, es un documento esencial para comprender mejor su a veces incomprensible universo.» Fotogramas «Para los que aman el delirio cinematográfico lynchiano. Espacio para soñar acaba por convertirse en un artefacto biográfico curioso e inevitablemente extraño.» Zenda Libros

Dans ces mémoires uniques et hybrides, qui sont aussi particulières que l’homme lui-même, Lynch se confie pour la première fois sur sa vie, toujours en quête d’une vision singulière, et sur les nombreux chagrins d’amour et épreuves qu’il a affrontés pour mener à bien ses projets peu orthodoxes, parfois avec succès, parfois sans. Les réflexions lyriques, intensément intimes et sans aucun filtre de Lynch sont précédées de sections biographiques, écrites par sa proche collaboratrice Kristine McKenna et basées sur plus de cent interviews inédites avec des membres de sa famille, des acteurs, des agents, des musiciens et des collègues dans plusieurs domaines, qui ont chacun leur propre version de ce qu’il s’est passé. Room to dream est un livre-monument qui offre un exceptionnel et accessible voyage dans la vie et l’esprit de l’un des artistes vivants les plus timides, énigmatiques et authentiques. Traduit de l’anglais par Carole Delporte et Johan Frederik Hel Guedj

«Il secondo dopoguerra era un periodo perfetto per essere bambini negli Stati Uniti. All''epoca, pur essendo la capitale dell''Idaho, Boise manteneva un clima da cittadina di provincia, dove i figli della classe media godevano di libertà oggi inimmaginabili» scrive Kristine McKenna a proposito dell''infanzia e della città natale di David Lynch. Il quale, da parte sua, conferma ma aggiunge: «Quando giravo in bici la sera, al buio, da certe case provenivano luci calde, accoglienti. In altre le luci erano basse. Ecco, io avevo la sensazione che dentro quelle case non succedessero cose belle». Questo doppio registro narrativo - da un lato le oltre cento testimonianze di parenti, amici, attori, produttori, sceneggiatori e collaboratori che hanno lavorato con lui e che parlano unanimemente di Lynch come di una persona dolce e affabile e di un cineasta geniale, dall''altro la viva voce del protagonista che rivisita, talora con occhi diversi, gli stessi episodi e le stesse esperienze - è il tratto saliente di una biografia-autobiografia che, nel raccontare la vita del grande regista americano, offre una formidabile chiave d''accesso ai segreti della sua poetica e della sua creatività. Il flusso corale di ricordi, sentimenti e riflessioni, reso in un linguaggio colloquiale che ne esalta la spontaneità, chiarisce la natura di quello sguardo eccentrico e visionario che guida in modo coerente la cinematografia di Lynch, lungo una sequenza di titoli dal successo alterno ma tutti capaci di sferzare la fantasia e smuovere l''inconscio dello spettatore: da Eraserhead (1977) a The Elephant Man (1980), da Velluto blu (1986) alla saga tv di Twin Peaks (1990), da Cuore selvaggio (1990) a Mulholland Drive (2001). Ampio spazio è dedicato anche al talentuoso e vulcanico eclettismo del Lynch non regista. Che dipinge, una passione coltivata fin da ragazzo e mai abbandonata, con mostre in alcune delle più importanti gallerie del mondo; pratica la Meditazione Trascendentale; suona e compone musica; costruisce con le proprie mani oggetti, mobili e scenografie; e ha dato il proprio nome a una fondazione che promuove l''educazione infantile basata sullo sviluppo della coscienza. Di questo corposo racconto, Lynch dice che ha appena scalfito la superficie delle cose. Eppure il ritratto dell''uomo e dell''artista che ne emerge è così penetrante da rendere difficile credere che vi si possa aggiungere qualcosa di essenziale.

Ein einzigartiger Einblick in das persönliche und kreative Leben des visionären Künstlers David Lynch, erzählt von ihm selbst und seinen engsten Kollegen, Freunden und Verwandten. In einer faszinierenden Mischung aus Biografie und Memoire schreibt David Lynch erstmals über seine vielen Kämpfe und auch Niederlagen; wie kompliziert es oft war, seine zahlreichen unorthodoxen Projekte zu verwirklichen. Lynch kommentiert ungefiltert und auf sehr offene Art und Weise die biografischen Ausführungen seiner Co-Autorin Kristine McKenna, die für das Buch über hundert Interviews mit erstaunlich gesprächigen Ex-Frauen, Familienmitgliedern, Schauspielern, Agenten, Musikern und sonstigen Kollegen geführt hat. Traumwelten ist ein besonderes Buch, das dem Leser eine tiefe Einsicht in das Leben und die Gedankenwelt eines der schillerndsten und originellsten Künstlers unserer Zeit gewährt.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • An unprecedented look into the personal and creative life of the visionary auteur David Lynch, through his own words and those of his closest colleagues, friends, and family “Insightful . . . an impressively industrious and comprehensive account of Lynch’s career.”—The New York Times Book Review In this unique hybrid of biography and memoir, David Lynch opens up for the first time about a life lived in pursuit of his singular vision, and the many heartaches and struggles he’s faced to bring his unorthodox projects to fruition. Lynch’s lyrical, intimate, and unfiltered personal reflections riff off biographical sections written by close collaborator Kristine McKenna and based on more than one hundred new interviews with surprisingly candid ex-wives, family members, actors, agents, musicians, and colleagues in various fields who all have their own takes on what happened. Room to Dream is a landmark book that offers a onetime all-access pass into the life and mind of one of our most enigmatic and utterly original living artists. With insights into . . . Eraserhead The Elephant Man Dune Blue Velvet Wild at Heart Twin Peaks Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me Lost Highway The Straight Story Mulholland Drive INLAND EMPIRE Twin Peaks: The Return Praise for Room to Dream “A memorable portrait of one of cinema’s great auteurs . . . provides a remarkable insight into [David] Lynch’s intense commitment to the ‘art life.’ ”—The Guardian “This is the best book by and about a movie director since Elia Kazan’s A Life (1988) and Michael Powell’s A Life in Movies (1986). But Room to Dream is more enchanting or appealing than those classics. . . . What makes this book endearing is its chatty, calm account of how genius in America can be a matter-of-fact defiance of reality that won’t alarm your dog or save mankind. It’s the only way to dream in so disturbed a country.”—San Francisco Chronicle

While scholars have rightly focused on the importance of the landmark opinions of the United States Supreme Court and its Chief Justice, John Marshall, in the rise in influence of the Court in the Early Republic, the crucial role of the circuit courts in the development of a uniform system of federal law across the nation has largely been ignored. This book highlights the contribution of four Associate Justices (Washington, Livingston, Story and Thompson) as presiding judges of their respective circuit courts during the Marshall era, in order to establish that in those early years federal law grew from the ''inferior courts'' upwards rather than down from the Supreme Court. It does so after a reading of over 1800 mainly circuit opinions and over 2000 original letters, which reveal the sources of law upon which the justices drew and their efforts through correspondence to achieve consistency across the circuits. The documents examined present insights into momentous social, political and economic issues facing the Union and demonstrate how these justices dealt with them on circuit. Particular attention is paid to the different ways in which each justice contributed to the shaping of United States law on circuit and on the Court and in the case of Justices Livingston and Thompson also during their time on the New York State Supreme Court.

Sumeria, the first EmpireBy David Lynch

How might schools harness technological innovation for classroom effects? In this book the authors seek to answer this question by introducing and investigating the concept of Blended Learning through a review of current research literature. In this book, the authors consolidate the current state of Blended Learning research, by defining what is meant by Blended Learning before discussing specific technologies used in Blended Learning, the professional development required of teachers and how to implement whole of school Blended Learning regimes in schools. The book includes descriptions of popular Blended Learning models with real-world examples of their implementation, addressing both student and teacher perspectives. This book will serve as a guide to hastening the progress of Blended Learning towards the improvement of student outcomes in a world of continuous technological innovation and social change.

This book is about designing the effective classroom curriculum. The authors argue that an effective classroom curriculum should be the goal of every teacher in every classroom around the world: effective that is for every student, not just those who find school easy! But how does one go about designing a classroom curriculum that is effective? What are the essential ingredients and how should these ingredients be organised for teaching effect? What role does Technology play in such classroom plans? In this book Lynch, Smith and Howarth provide an insight into these questions by providing a text that focuses on classroom teaching diagnostic and design strategies. Their intent in writing such a book is to enable the classroom teacher to develop, teach and assess a classroom curriculum where learning success for all students is the central goal.This text is compulsive reading for the teacher who wants to make a difference in their classrooms.

De onde vêm as ideias? Neste livro Em Águas Profundas, David Lynch, o aclamado cineasta, abre uma rara e preciosa janela para conhecermos seus métodos como artista, seu estilo pessoal de trabalhar e o valiosos estímulo criativo que lhe proporciona a prática da meditação. Lynch descreve a experiência de "mergulhar em si mesmo" e de "pescar ideias" como se pescam peixes e, depois, como aplicar essas ideias na televisão, no cinema, e nos outros meios criativos com que trabalha, como pintura, música e desenho. David Lynch aborda pela primeira vez o seu comprometimento de três décadas com a Meditação Transcendental e o consequente impacto que isso teve para a expansão de todo o seu processo criativo. Em capítulos curtos e objetivos, Lynch explica o processo de desenvolvimento de suas ideias: de onde vêm, como são capturadas e como as melhores surgem. E demonstra como põe suas ideias em prática e como se relaciona com as pessoas ao seu redor. Por fim, analisa o eu interior e o mundo exterior – e como o processo de "mergulhar em si mesmo" contribuiu para alcançar a extraordinária qualidade do seu trabalho. Em Águas Profundas constitui uma verdadeira revelação para a legião de admiradores que há tempos quer compreender melhor a visão pessoal de David Lynch. E, sem dúvida, esta obra é igualmente intrigante para os que desejam nutrir e fortalecer a sua própria capacidade criativa.

David Lynch (1946) è uno dei massimi cineasti statunitensi degli ultimi decenni, vincitore di due Palme d''Oro a Cannes, due César e un Leone d''Oro alla carriera. Con film come Eraserhead e Inland Empire, passando per The Elephant Man, Velluto blu, Twin Peaks e Mulholland Drive, Lynch ha affermato negli anni un proprio personalissimo stile fatto di ambiguità, mistero, perversione, di situazioni vissute in un confine indistinguibile fra sogno e realtà. Gli autori di queste ventiquattro interviste – che ripercorrono l''intera carriera del grande regista, dal 1977 fino a oggi – scavalcano abilmente il riserbo quasi maniacale di Lynch sul significato dei propri film, riuscendo a farlo aprire a risposte mai scontate ma sempre penetranti, con ampie digressioni sulle altre forme artistiche che ama: dalla pittura alla musica, al design. Fra notazioni tecniche, aneddoti dal set, ricordi personali e vere e proprie dichiarazioni di poetica, queste pagine offrono un indimenticabile ritratto in presa diretta di uno dei registi più visionari e geniali della storia del cinema.

How does the effective teacher assess and report their classroom curriculum program? Building on the success of their previous book--- Designing the Classroom Curriculum in the Knowledge Age --- David Lynch and Richard Smith seek to answer this question by focusing their "teaching design" idea on classroom assessment and reporting. At the heart of their teaching design idea is the formulation of teaching strategies that enable all students to make the required learning gains. At its core, the book encourages the teacher to work towards becoming a different kind of teacher, a teacher who has a mindset attuned to the Knowledge Age and who embraces new knowledge sets that reflect research into effective teaching. More specifically, the book explores the theory and practice of "teaching design" from the perspective of assessment and reporting. The book examines these premises as context when assessing and reporting the classroom curriculum. A real how to assess and report book.
