Autorenporträt
I love children of all ages, and love reading to children. It is such a joy watching them grow, not only physically, but socially and mentally as well. I have worked many years with children and have loved every minute. I am always amazed how fast they learn, and I love being a part of that learning process. I have worked in the classroom and in many summer camps for kids and teens, helping them build confidence and self-esteem to conquer their tasks. I have kids of my own that I have encouraged to succeed and be independent. I love seeing everyone succeed, especially in their courage, certainty, and self-esteem.I love sailing, photography, hiking, camping, scuba diving, motorcycle riding, and spending time with family. If it involves water, outdoors or family, then chances are I love it.
Rezensionen
"Encyclopedic in its aims, this volume is as much a livelyintervention as it is a trusted companion to the field. You cansafely add it to your collection of 'really useful' books."Andrew Ross, New York University

"The book will provide a very welcome service in the classroom.Toby Miller has produced a volume of sound structure andorganization. The contributors bring a rich mix of authority andexperience to the book." Tony Bennett, The OpenUniversity

"As a whole the collection beautifully captures therestlessness, the malleability, and the theoretical flexibility ofcultural studies, while at the same time exposing some of itslimitations and failings ... Overall this is a provocative,readable and useful collection which points as much to the futureas the past of cultural studies. It is a valuable point ofreference for those who teach or research in any of the disciplinesand fields touched by cultural studies, and especially those whoare in the process of discovering and grappling with this 'tendencyacross disciplines'." Media International Australia

"Topics and methods of the global contributors are diverse andimaginative... readable and accessible to unitiated outsiders andcurious onlookers." Choice

"This edition has enough to be beneficial for theexperienced student or teacher, and an appropriate enoughintroduction for the novice." Design Issues
