This is a new collection of translations of thirty stories written by Premchand, who virtually created the genre of short story writing in Hindi and Urdu. The selection reveals the wide range of Premchand's genius and the scope of his appeal. While most of the stories are woven against a rural backdrop, some also demonstrate an urban sensibility.

Quality education depends on preserving a teacher's freedom of expression and habits of openmindedness and critical inquiry. But in the classroom or the community, teachers may find their principles and standards challenged by school authorities or public officials. This essential handbook describes the legal recourses and remedies available when injustices occur. The Rights of Teachers focuses on constitutionally protected activities in the classroom, with parents and students, and outside the school. It includes vital information on suing under civil rights acts for monetary and injunctive relief when a teacher's rights are violated.

The Rights of Teachers.

Continuum Mechanics is a branch of physical mechanics that describes the macroscopic mechanical behavior of solid or fluid materials considered to be continuously distributed. It is fundamental to the fields of civil, mechanical, chemical and bioengineering. This time-tested text has been used for over 35 years to introduce junior and senior-level undergraduate engineering students, as well as graduate students, to the basic principles of continuum mechanics and their applications to real engineering problems. The text begins with a detailed presentation of the coordinate invariant quantity, the tensor, introduced as a linear transformation. This is then followed by the formulation of the kinematics of deformation, large as well as very small, the description of stresses and the basic laws of continuum mechanics. As applications of these laws, the behaviors of certain material idealizations (models) including the elastic, viscous and viscoelastic materials, are presented. This new edition offers expanded coverage of the subject matter both in terms of details and contents, providing greater flexibility for either a one or two-semester course in either continuum mechanics or elasticity. Although this current edition has expanded the coverage of the subject matter, it nevertheless uses the same approach as that in the earlier editions - that one can cover advanced topics in an elementary way that go from simple to complex, using a wealth of illustrative examples and problems. It is, and will remain, one of the most accessible textbooks on this challenging engineering subject.

"Unfolding" documents, for the first time, Al Held's gigantic-scale, hard edged, geometric abstract works. A leader in the field of Minimalist painting, Held has eschewed the public eye and maintained a keen purity in his work, creating an eclectic oeuvre that has never adhered to prevailing trends and has followed its own logic.

In a creative and thoughtful manner, this exhibition contributes to the diverse, ongoing discussions concerning national identity. Framed by the iconography of the stars and stripes , Old Glory draws together the work of more than 50 artists. The range of approaches extend from being thoughtful or celebratory of the emblematic form of Old Glory , to including artists who use the symbolic elements of the flag to present troubling or provocative imagery. The exhibition surveys material from 1950s through to the early 1990 s, and is carefully selected to represent the variety of viewpoints and esthetic forms that can invoke or suggest the pluralistic, frequently discordant cultural and political life of the late 20th century in the U.S.A. Over 65 illustrations.

"God, Israel, and Shiloh" is a gripping biblical and historical saga about the Land of Israel and the Jewish people. After reading this book, you will gain a new understanding of both the religious and political perspectives of the Jewish people who live in the Biblical heartland of Israel. Learn who the "settlers" are. Learn where and what is the "West Bank." Learn the truth about the people who are often referred to as "the chosen people" and how it is that Israel is a nation struggling with its destiny to be "a light unto the nations." "God, Israel, and Shiloh" is written with moving personal stories, psychological insights, and compelling political commentary. This book is about faith and struggle, Judaism and Zionism and woven around the special sacred site of Shiloh, then and now. Shiloh was the home and spiritual center for many great biblical personalities, including Joshua, Hannah, and Samuel the Prophet, who appointed the first Kings of Israel, Saul and David. The author, David Rubin, writes about the heroic families living in and rebuilding the biblical heartland of Israel, despite the obstacles in their path and tells his personal story of a miraculous survival from the bullets of terrorism.
