Every year hundreds of millions of excited television fans watch as a new Masters Champion dons the coveted Green Jacket. This historic event, always taking place in Butler Cabin, has, for over a quarter of a century, been captured on a set designed for CBS by Margaret Brown. The azaleas on the mantel, the roses and greenery, are arranged in an understated yet elegant way to convey beauty, excitement and dignity. This visually appealing set only hints at the hundreds of floral arrangements that fill the historic clubhouse, the trophy room, the cabins, balconies, and other venues that make the Augusta National and Masters so special. In this book Margaret will take you inside to show you how the history of the club and the unique personalities of the people, great and small, who created and continue to serve it, have motivated her to produce the stunning floral displays that have helped define the Augusta National and the Masters.

Primary Mathematics and the Developing Professional (Multiple Perspectives on Attainment in Numeracy)

Abstract. This introduction sets the scene for the remainder of the book by considering first the international context of widespread concern about the improvement of numeracy skills. This is related to reform movements in the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries aimed at modernising primary (elementary) school mathematics curricula. A detailed account is given of the National Numeracy Strategy in England, a systemic government-imposed response to concern about standards implemented in 1999/2000. This includes a discussion of the alternative meanings of numeracy. An earlier initiative sponsored by a United Kingdom charitable trust reacting to concern about primary numeracy was the Leverhulme Numeracy Research Programme. This large-scale longitudinal study and linked set of case-study projects, focusing on reasons for low attainment, took place during 1997-2002. This book, and each other in the same series, is based on results of that research. The timescale fortuitously enabled the research team to also report on some effects of the systemic reform in the National Numeracy Strategy. 1. THE INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT In many countries, there are recurring periods of national concern about the low standards of calculation skills shown by children in primary (elementary) schools. Recently, these concerns have become more urgent and more political with the publication of international comparisons of mathematical achievement, first at secondary and more recently at primary level (e. g. Lapointe, Mead, & Askew 1992; Mullis et al. , 1997).

That Time, That Place, That War

<p>That Time, That Place, That War chronicles the turbulent 60s in a tiny country halfway around the world in that crazy Vietnam War. The infantrymen called themselves grunts from the sound they made picking up their rucksacks that weighed at least 50 pounds and contained their survival gear for three days. They nicknamed the unfamiliar machines of war as well as each other. A helicopter with dual rotors that could carry 20 troops was the Jolly Green Giant; any aircraft mounted with machine guns or rapid-fire weapons to support troops on the ground was Puff the Magic Dragon. Their words (sarcasm, black humor, nonchalance, slang, military jargon) given here become a small story taken from grunts, reporters, American and Vietnamese vets, propaganda, poetry bygrunts and vets, augmented with photos from vets. They created mantras to get them through the worst. "It don't mean nothin'" when it really did. Absurdities such as a body bag falling out of a chopper called for "There it is." Sharing the hardships of fatigue, 100 percent humidity, not enough water, razor-sharp elephant grass, and the accidental firing of an M-15 caught in a wait-a-minute vine in the jungle meant a shrug or a small shake of the head and "That's the 'Nam."--Publisher's website.</p>
