Teach Me


Book Description

A long-awaited and welcomed addition to the literature on early adolescents, Teach Me is an ethnographic account of inner-city youth that explores what they want to know, why they want to know it, and how they go about learning it. FitzSimmons study is based on two years of study in which she interviewed children, school administrators, teachers, and parents and examined the results of school-sponsored student surveys. In contrast to typical educational ethnographies that only focus on adult-structured learning situations in school, FitzSimmons' study also considers other contexts, including home, church, and the streets. The study is presented primarily in the children's own words, revealing their views on gangs, fictive kin networks, social activities, mentors, and schoolwork. Rather than concurring with previous studies that typically cast adolescents as either conforming to or rejecting social norms, FitzSimmons argues that the children in her study are "Cultural Shoppers" who individually choose to accept or reject lessons depending on the context. Teach Me is an important work that will be valuable to educators, parents, and social scientists interested in better understanding urban youth.

Why Knot?


Book Description

“Mr. Petit is the perfect teacher” in this fascinating, educational volume on knot-tying—an art and science that has held civilization together (The Wall Street Journal). Philippe Petit is known for his astounding feat of daring when, on August 7, 1974, he stepped out on a wire illegally rigged between the World Trade Center’s twin towers in New York City. But beyond his balance, courage, and showmanship, there was one thing Petit had to be absolutely certain of—his knots. Without the confidence that his knots would hold, he never would have left the ground. In fact, while most of us don’t think about them beyond tying our shoelaces, the humble knot is crucial in countless contexts, from sailing to sports to industrial safety to art, agriculture, and more. In this truly unique book, Petit offers a guide to tying over sixty of his essential knots, with practical sketches illustrating his methods and clear tying instructions. Filled with photos in which special knots were used during spectacular high-wire walks, quirky knot trivia, personal anecdotes, helpful tips, magic tricks, and special tying challenges, Why Knot? will entertain and educate readers of all ages. “In reading Philippe’s book we are cogently reminded that without the ability to secure a rope, or tether a goat, or make fast the sheets of a galley, much of the civilization that we take for granted would disappear as easily as a slipknot in the hands of a Vegas conjuror.” —Sting, musician and activist “His descriptions are clear, he deploys humor frequently and he makes his points with anecdotes that are colorful and memorable. Explaining the purpose and creation of knots and thanks to those flawless drawings Mr. Petit earns perfect marks.” —The Wall Street Journal
