"A timely and beautiful story of female friendship and strength." --Allison Pataki, New York Times bestselling author of The Queen''s Fortune "Martin deftly and exquisitely captures this historical moment." --Jillian Cantor, USA Today bestselling author of In Another Time In the glitz and glamor tradition of Beatriz Williams''s Tiny Little Thing and Fiona Davis''s The Chelsea Girls, Danielle Martin''s debut is "a love letter to...women" (Greer Macallister, The Magician''s Lie) that illustrates the courage of women and the strength of sisterhood. Welcome to the Starlite. Let your true self shine. 1962. In the middle of Brooklyn Heights sits the Starlite: boutique dress shop by day, underground women''s club by night. Started by the shop''s proprietor after her marriage crumbled, Madeline''s social club soon becomes a safe haven for women from all walks of life looking for a respite from their troubled relationships and professional frustrations. These after-hour soirées soon bring two very different women into Madeline''s life--Elaine, a British ex-pat struggling to save her relationship, and Lisa, a young stewardess whose plans for the future are suddenly upended--irrevocably changing all three women''s lives in ways no one could have predicted. But when Madeline''s ne''er-do-well ex-husband shows up again, the luster of Starlite quickly dampens. As the sisterhood rallies around Madeline, tension begins to eat at the club. When an unspeakable tragedy befalls their sorority, one woman must decide whether to hide the truth from the group or jeopardize her own hopes and dreams. Sure to appeal to readers of Kathleen Tessaro and Suzanne Rindell, Glimmer As You Can captures the heartbeat of an era and the ambitions of a generation of women living in a man''s world--a world threatened by a wave of change.

Inequality is up. Decent work is down. Free market fundamentalism has been exposed as a tragic failure. In a job market upended by COVID-19--with Canadians caught in the grip of precarious labour, stagnant wages, a climate crisis, and the steady creep of automation--an ever-louder chorus of voices calls for a liveable and obligation-free basic income. Could a basic income guarantee be the way forward to democratize security and intervene where the market economy and social programs fail? Jamie Swift and Elaine Power scrutinize the politics and the potential behind a radical proposal in a post-pandemic world: that wealth should be built by a society, not individuals. And that we all have an unconditional right to a fair share. In these pages, Swift and Power bring to the forefront the deeply personal stories of Canadians who participated in the 2017-2019 Ontario Basic Income Pilot; examine the essential literature and history behind the movement; and answer basic income''s critics from both the right and left.

Recent science education reform has emphasized teaching science as practice - striving to engage students in the authentic work of scientists so they gain deeper understanding of scientific knowledge and how that knowledge is established. To make this vision of science education a reality in classrooms, teachers must be well prepared to teach science as epistemic practice. Prior work suggests that teachers need more support and preparation to create environments within their classrooms that reflect and help students learn to participate in the practice of the scientific community. To address this issue, we investigated teachers understanding and instruction for science as epistemic practice in middle school classrooms. We explored (a) how teachers'' instruction aligned with the epistemic practice of science to help build scientific communities in their classrooms and (b) how teachers understood and reflected on their own teaching as supporting participation in the epistemic practice of science. We used the Apt-AIR framework of epistemic practice (Barzilai & Chinn, 2018) as a theoretical lens to describe science as epistemic practice, to establish what participation in this practice looks like in classrooms and what students should learn about the epistemology of science, and to analyze teachers'' instruction for science as epistemic practice. We used videos of classroom instruction to investigate how teachers integrated aspects of scientific practice in their teaching and how patterns of their instruction related to students'' understanding of and participation in science as epistemic practice. We also examined teachers'' conceptions of scientific practice through reflective interviews about their own teaching. This research provided novel approaches to investigating how the connected nature of scientific practice is reflected in teachers'' instruction and students'' understanding. Findings revealed features of effective science instruction, specifically that teachers making strong connections between and talking consistently over time about aspects of practice can support students to understand and successfully participate in scientific practice. Additionally, our findings suggest that teachers may not be intentional to teach science as epistemic practice and raise critical challenges for making a focus on practice more central in science classrooms.
