Book Description
When a fierce blizzard suddenly kicks up on a mild winter day, a young Nebraska girl must find the courage and strength to lead others to safety in this novel inspired by the true story of the 1888 School Children's Blizzard. Twelve-year-old Anna loves life on the Nebraska prairie where she lives with her parents and four-year-old brother in a simple sod house. She doesn't mind helping out with chores, especially when she is herding sheep with her beloved pony, Top Hat. On the open prairie, Anna feels at home. But at school she feels hopelessly out of place. Arithmetic is too hard, her penmanship is abysmal, and stuck-up Eloise Baxter always laughs at her mistakes. When a unexpected blizzard traps Anna, her schoolmates, and their young teacher in the one-room schoolhouse, Anna knows they must escape before it is too late. Does she have the courage and strength to lead her class through the whiteout to safety? Alison Hart offers young readers a dramatic story of rescue and survival featuring a plucky, determined protagonist. An author's note provides more information about prairie life in the late nineteenth century and about the School Children's Blizzard.

Book Description
During the past three decades, Iceland has attained a strong presence in the world through its musical culture, with images of the nation being packaged and shipped out in melodies, harmonies, and rhythms. What 'Iceland' means for people, both at home and abroad, is conditioned by music and its ability to animate notions of nature and nationality. In six chapters that range from discussions of indie rock ballads to 'Nordic noir' television music, Dissonant Landscapes describes the capacity of musical expression to transform ideas about nature and nationality on the northern edges of Europe.

Book Description
Is our public education system headed in the wrong direction? Richard Hancock asks us not only to scrutinize education, but to consider crucial pragmatic revisions. He looks hard at some of the negative trends which have become entrenched, including grade inflation and social promotion, and a variety of biases which undermine the integrity of the system. He suggests workable solutions. The book addresses a wide audience: students, parents, educators and administrators in the public system and realms of higher learning, government members, professionals, service and business people, Hancock also refers to others who are striving to bring the plight of the system to the attention of the public and the educational policy-makers. We cannot continue to stifle the brilliant, condescend to special interest groups, and ignore the "average" students, cheating them all of pride in honest achievement. Perhaps it is time to encourage and honour excellence! This is at once a warning and a voice encouraging us to act on behalf of our children and our nation!
