Co-edited by Chara Armon \u201995 <\/strong><\/p>\n

The book presents theory-to-practice essays and case studies by educators from six countries who present dynamic approaches to sustainability education. Too often, students graduate with exploitative, consumer-driven orientations toward ecosystems and are unprepared to confront the urgent challenges presented by environmental degradation. The approaches in this book expand beyond conventional emphases on developing students\u2019 attitudes, knowledge, and behaviors by thinking and talking about ecosystems to additionally engaging students with ecosystems in sensory, affective, psychological, and cognitive dimensions, as well as imaginative, spiritual, or existential dimensions that guide environmental care and regeneration.

\"\"<\/a>\u201cWe Didn\u2019t Start the Fire\u201d: Billy Joel and Popular Music Studies<\/h3>\n

Co-edited by\u00a0<\/strong>Ryan Ba\u00f1agale \u201900<\/strong>,\u00a0director of performing arts and associate professor of music<\/p>\n

Billy Joel has sold more than 150 million records, produced 33 Top 40 hits, and has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Emerging from a 2016 public musicology conference on Joel hosted by Colorado College, this first-of-its-kind collection of essays offers close analysis and careful insight into the ways his work has impacted popular music during the last 50 years. Ultimately, these chapters interrogate how music frames our experiences, constitutes our history and culture, and gains importance in our daily lives. Published by\u00a0Lexington Books, 2020.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>You Talkin\u2019 to Me? How to Write Great Dialogue<\/h3>\n

By Linda Seger \u201967<\/strong> and John Rainey<\/p>\n

Unlike the chitchat of everyday life, dialogue in stories should express character, advance the story, suggest a theme, and include a few memorable lines that audiences will be quoting for decades. Inexperienced writers write wooden dialogue, have characters all speaking the same way, or awkwardly insert exposition into conversations. In this book written for screenwriters, novelists, and playwrights, the authors explore dialogue from a different angle and discuss examples of great dialogue from films and novels. Each chapter ends with examples of poor dialogue, which are annotated by Seger and then rewritten by Rainey.
