“Lots of people have dreams, but C. Vivian Stringer is the dream—a coalminer’s daughter who believed when her Poppa told her there was no obstacle she could not surmount. And she lives that dream, teaching others to rise up to meet challenges, turning underdogs into champions again and again—on and off the court. This is the quintessential American story, of a woman and of a family pulling together against the odds. Standing Tall offers an important message of hope to so many.” —John Chaney, Hall of Fame college basketball coachAt a time when heroes are too rare, C. Vivian Stringer sets a shining example. She has time and again shown character, fortitude, and heart, both on and off the hardwood, and in the face of unbearable loss. In Standing Tall, she shares her remarkable life story, inspiring us to find this fortitude within ourselves. “Work hard, and don’t look for excuses,” Stringer’s parents told her, “and you can achieve anything.” But her faith and perseverance would be tested many times. A gifted athlete, she had to fight for a place on an all-white cheerleading squad in the sixties. In 1981, just as her coaching career was taking off, her fourteen-month-old daughter, Nina, was stricken with spinal meningitis. Nina would never walk or talk again. Still grieving, Stringer brought a small, poor, historically black college to the national championships—a triumph hailed as “Hoosiers with an all-female cast.” In 1991, her husband, Bill—her staunchest supporter, the father of her children, and the love of her life—fell dead of a sudden heart attack, but that same year, she led yet another young team to the Final Four. Through these dark times and others—including her bout with cancer, shared here for the first time—Stringer has carried her burdens with grace. Given her history, it was no surprise that she led her team to respond to Don Imus’s slurs with dignity and courage. Standing Tall is a story of quiet strength in the face of punishing odds. Above all, it is an extraordinary love story—love for the game, for the players she has coached, for her close-knit family, and for the husband she lost far too soon. It will resonate long after the last page.From the Hardcover edition.

¿Cómo abordar un tema tan urgente e importante como el cambio climático, paso a paso, en el aula? Este libro ofrece un planteamiento atractivo para conocer y evaluar las actuales investigaciones sobre el calentamiento global y el cambio climático, a la vez que ayuda a desarrollar el pensamiento crítico de los estudiantes, de modo que puedan llegar a sacar sus propias conclusiones sobre lo que se debe hacer.El libro consta de nueve sesiones que proporcionan una exacta y asequible información de fondo sobre el tema, junto a una detallada descripción de métodos tridimensionales para dominar asunto tan complejo. La obra incluye:• Una pre-evaluación de la comprensión que tienen los alumnos sobre el calentamiento global y el cambio climático.• Una investigación de laboratorio sobre las fuentes del CO2 en la atmósfera.• Un método para estudiar el efecto invernadero, comparando y contrastando modelos físicos y digitales.• Una lista de verificación para evaluar la exactitud y fiabilidad de los datos, además de todo un proceso para evaluar los conceptos erróneos más comunes sobre el tema.• Un programa detallado para que los estudiantes investiguen el cambio climático y para que puedan presentar sus hallazgos de la misma manera que lo hacen los científicos.• Un sistema para evaluar tanto los efectos expansivos del calentamiento del clima como las acciones que los gobiernos, las organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro y las empresas están tomando para mitigar el cambio climático.Un manual fácil de usar, incluso si el docente tiene escasos conocimientos de climatología o se acerca por primera vez a los estándares científicos de la próxima generación (Next Generation Science Standards). Comprender el cambio climático ayudará a que los estudiantes realicen sus propias investigaciones, piensen por sí mismos y planifiquen acciones positivas de cambio en sus hogares, escuelas y comunidades.
