San Diego Noir
Southern California is not all sun, sand, and surf in this gripping collection of noir tales from T. Jefferson Parker, Don Winslow, Maria Lima, and others. San Diego is home to miles of beaches, Balboa Park, a world-famous zoo, and some of the country’s most expensive home and resort real estate. Yet the city also houses a few items that aren’t actively promoted by the visitor’s bureau: a number of the country’s most corrupt politicians, border-related crimes, terrorists, and the occasional earthquakes. A noir feast! In the fifty-plus years since Raymond Chandler set Playback in Esmeralda, his name for La Jolla, the population has grown by more than a million, and crime has proliferated as well. San Diego of the past and the present offers the book’s contributors a rich selection of settings, from the cross on Mount Soledad to the piers of Ocean Beach, and perpetrators and victims from the residents of its wealthiest enclaves to the inhabitants of its segregated barrios. San Diego Noir includes stories by T. Jefferson Parker, Jeffrey J. Mariotte, Martha C. Lawrence, Diane Clark & Astrid Bear, Debra Ginsberg, Morgan Hunt, Ken Kuhlken, Taffy Cannon, Don Winslow, Cameron Pierce Hughes, Lisa Brackmann, Gabriel R. Barillas, Gar Anthony Haywood, Luis Alberto Urrea, and Maria Lima. “When it’s done right, noir is a darkly delicious thrill: smart, sharp-tongued, surprising. The knife goes in at the end with a twist. San Diego Noir, a new 15-story collection by some of the region’s best writers, has all that going for it, and the steady supply of hometown references makes it even more fun.” —The San Diego Union-Tribune
Conditions and Conceptualizations of Preschool Teachers' Use of Play in Two Belizean Classrooms
This study investigates the conditions that benefit and hinder preschool education and preschool teachers knowledge of and use of play in early education within the culture of Belize, using case studies of two preschool teachers. Studies show that positive attitudes toward play in the preschool classroom are more likely to be adopted by preschool teachers who have received training and education in play pedagogy (Johnson, Sevimli-Celik, & Al-Mansour, 2013; Ridgway & Quinones, 2012; Quinones & Ridgway, 2015). These case studies present a cultural perspective of early childhood education and the use of play among two preschool teachers in Belize. Teachers were selected from preschools in a rural and urban setting in Belize. No significant differences in teaching philosophy and practice related to this study were found between the rural and urban sites. The methods of this study included collecting observations, interviews and artifacts from the study participants. As yet, a qualitative study of play pedagogy of preschool teachers in Belize has not been conducted. This study addressed the need to highlight culture in understanding the dynamic early educational experiences of young children in diverse communities. Names of all study participants and locations have been changed to protect identities. As preschool teachers, their lived experiences reflect on the early childhood teaching profession, and their daily triumphs and challenges. Each preschool teachers unique case illustrated how they understand and enact play pedagogy. The case studies reflected the understanding of each preschool teacher in regard to play and their approaches to play pedagogy and the constraints and affordances that facilitated or prevented desired practices. Teachers reflected a desire to gain more knowledge and training in the field of play pedagogy. Teachers also desired greater access to play based learning materials as resources were limited in their classrooms. Collecting their stories provided an illustrative lens of the practical experiences of those involved in the cultural setting of Belize.
