Every elementary teacher deals with students who struggle as readers on a daily basis. Each struggling child is complex and each has a unique history as a learner. In One Child at a Time, experienced literacy specialist and consultant Pat Johnson provides a framework she has used in numerous K-6 classrooms to help teachers understand and assist individual children. The four-step process outlined in the book enables teachers to focus carefully on specific strategies and behaviors; analyze them with theoretical and practical lenses; design targeted instruction in keeping with current research on reading process; and then assess and refine the teaching in conferences with the child. The framework is by no means an easy answer to a difficult problem, but through its use teachers learn how the reading process works for proficient readers and how to support struggling readers as they construct their own reading process. The text is packed with examples of actual conferences with students, detailing how and when Pat and her colleagues intervene to instruct and assess. The examples of follow-up assessment and analysis of struggling readers over days and weeks provide an indispensable model for teachers. Pat shows how to use this framework successfully with a range of learners, including young children, English language learners, and students in the upper elementary grades who are stalled in their literacy progress. She builds upon her decades of work as a classroom teacher, literacy specialist, and consultant in schools with high poverty and diversity, to demonstrate how this framework can be useful in any setting.

Harry Lloyd, a former British officer turned diplomat and currently assigned to the British Embassy in Washington as military laison, is called upon to retrieve the best kept secret of the war; the Enigma ciphering machine. The Germans will soon occupy the British Isles and they must not discover the existence of the machine. Harry, at the request of Churchill and the American president, returns to England to recover the machine. Harry discovers that the new government, for fear he may try to rally the British people from exile, is detaining Churchill. Harry knows that the arrival of the Germans spells grave danger for Churchill and alters his plans to include the rescue of the former Prime Minister. Harry allies with Anthony Eden, British Foreign minister and friend of Churchill, and William ''Wild Bill'' Donovan, an American on an observation mission in England, to retrieve the Enigma and rescue Churchill. Time is short and together with George, a former bodyguard for Oswald Mosley, the leader of the British Fascist Union, they put Harry''s plan into action. An attack on Harry and a close encounter with a German SS General are some of the obstacles overcome by the men in accomplishing Harry''s mission.

Copper enamelling - essentially, the melting of glass enamel grains onto a copper surface - is an exciting and fascinating technique. Enamelling on Copper highlights the unique interactions between copper and enamels, and gives a detailed account of working with this wonderful combination. The basic technique - simply sifting ground enamels onto a copper surface and firing the two in a kiln for one minute - is a thrilling experience, but delving deeper into the techniques pays even greater rewards. Starting with an introduction to enamels, this new book goes on to explain how to work with an enamelling kiln, including temperatures and timings; the different kinds of enamels and how they work together; the enamelling process and how to control small sifted particles of the glass enamels to achieve your designs. A final chapter is devoted to the practice of firing the enamels higher than is necessary in order to transform their colours to create unique effects.
