"Colorblind Sands is a project for a journey, a reflection upon photography and the great American road trip. It explores the semantics of color, the experience of time and place, and the possibilities for analog printing in the darkroom. Colorblind Sands is a fictitious road trip that Reuzé has yet to make. An imaginary journey through the history of American photography"--Publisher's website.

"In The Colorblind Screen, the contributors examine television's role as the major discursive medium in the articulation and contestation of racialized identities in the United States. While the dominant mode of televisual racialization has shifted to a "colorblind" ideology that foregrounds racial differences in order to celebrate multicultural assimilation, the volume investigates how this practice denies the significant social, economic, and political realities and inequalities that continue to define race relations today. Focusing on such iconic figures as President Obama, LeBron James, and Oprah Winfrey, many chapters examine the ways in which race is read by television audiences and fans. Other essays focus on how visual constructions of race in dramas like 24, Sleeper Cell, and The Wanted continue to conflate Arab and Muslim identities in post-9/11 television. The volume offers an important intervention in the study of the televisual representation of race, engaging with multiple aspects of the mythologies developing around notions of a "post-racial" America and the duplicitous discursive rationale offered by the ideology of colorblindness." -- Publisher's website.

Part travelogue, part autobiography, part medical mystery, this moving book by the "poet laureate of medicine" (The New York Times) and bestselling author of Awakenings takes us to a tiny Pacific atoll and the island of Guam to explore the genesis of disease, the wonders of botany, and the complexities of being human. "Sacks's total immersion in island life makes this luminous, beautifully written report a wonderous voyage of discovery. As a travel writer, Sacks ranks with Paul Theroux and Bruce Chatwin. As an investigator of the mind's mysteries, he is in a class by himself." —Publishers Weekly For Oliver Sacks, islands conjure up equally the romance of Melville and Stevenson, the adventure of Magellan and Cook, and the scientific wonder of Darwin and Wallace. Drawn to the tiny Pacific atoll of Pingelap by intriguing reports of an isolated community of islanders born totally color-blind, Sacks finds himself setting up a clinic in a one-room island dispensary, where he listens to these achromatopic islanders describe their colorless world in rich terms of pattern and tone, luminance and shadow. And on Guam, where he goes to investigate the puzzling neurodegenerative paralysis endemic there for a century, he becomes, for a brief time, an island neurologist, making house calls with his colleague John Steele, amid crowing cockerels, cycad jungles, and the remains of a colonial culture. Out of this unexpected journey, Sacks has woven an unforgettable narrative which immerses us in the romance of island life, and shares his own compelling vision of the mysteries of being human.

Would you be surprised to know, one child in every average class of thirty is Colour Blind? Colour Blindness can be a barrier to learning across the whole curriculum, yet most schools cannot identify all their Colour Blind children, and practitioners often cannot recall teaching a child with it. This essential guide explores Colour Blindness, an often-unrecognised special educational need and disability (SEND). It gives you the tools and confidence to ensure children with Colour Blindness can reach their full potential. It helps you to understand what the condition is so you can easily make your teaching accessible and inclusive to all Colour Blind children, undiagnosed or not. The book: • Offers detailed and practical guidance for identifying Colour Blindness and catering for it from early years through to higher education and beyond. • Focuses on simple and easy-to-implement strategies to ensure Colour Blind children are not disadvantaged, dispelling myths and misguidance along the way. • Discusses how educators and parents can work together to raise the child’s self-esteem, seeking solutions and interventions that do not single them out, or in fact remove colour as a useful tool for those that see it normally. This accessible book is vital reading for SENDCos, teachers and classroom assistants, from nursery through to upper secondary, as well as the parents and carers of Colour Blind children.

The Sandman is a fictional character, a popular figure in Western folklore that brings good sleep and dreams by sprinkling magical sand onto the eyes of children. Or so the legend goes; but no one should believe in legends. The Sandman slips through houses in search of nightmares, intending to kill them with his lustrous dagger. There is more to the Sandman than typical humans can believe. There is a world of mysterious Sand Recruits, hourglasses that toll the brink of death, nightmares that prey on tears, and sands. Is the Sandman really a fictional character? Believe what you want. We have our own convictions. This is our story. -Angela Rooiakker, Michael Rooiakker, Scottie Rooiakker, and Leo Belmont
