Learning community: finding common ground in difference
Patricia E. Calderwood
Community is an important ingredient of successful schools, yet it is a more complex topic than is portrayed in current discourse. In this engaging volume, Patricia Calderwood explores multiple layers of educational communities and the conditions that inspire their resilience and growth. Confronting the inherent fragility of community, she also provides hopeful discussion about the ways communities can become responsive, and subsequently resilient, to vulnerabilities. Using the backdrop of different schools, Calderwood depicts community as a process rather than a commodity and illustrates how notions of community evolve locally and distinctly. Calderwood addresses issues of identity, leadership, voice, and normative forces in the lives of ordinary people as she engages readers in this important and timely analysis. -- Publisher description.

David DeLeon and Susan D. Franzosa
Susan D. Franzosa is a contributing author, "John Holt"p. 380-383.
Book description: The throngs at Woodstock, Jane Fonda in Hanoi, "I Have a Dream," burning draft cards, fire in the streets--these images of the 1960s are still very much alive today. What happened to the people and principles that dominated that decade? Which leaders from those turbulent years had the most lasting effect on our lives today? How well have the principles for which those leaders fought so strongly withstood the test of time? This thought-provoking biographical dictionary allows the reader to study the leaders, both conservative and liberal, their ideals, and their enduring influence. With major sections on racial democracy, peace and freedom, sexuality and gender, the environment, radical culture, and visions of alternative societies, Leaders from the 1960s includes entries on a wide selection of nationally prominent activists of the 1960s. In addition to those who dominated only the sixties, the volume includes earlier activists who came into prominence in the 1960s and activists of the era who came into prominence since the 1960s. Each entry provides a biographical sketch, but the focus of the entries is on the person's basic concepts or the essence of his or her work and the public response it generated. Included are extensive bibliographies on the individuals and the period.

Integrating Women's Studies into the Curriculum: An Annotated Bibliography
Susan D. Franzosa and Karen A. Mazza
Choice Review:
“Highly recommended for women's studies, education, and general reference collections. ... Approximately 500 publications, mostly published from 1976 to 1983 and mostly books and articles, are provided with full information and annotated. Awareness of them may help achieve gender balance within the curriculum because they address the issues of bias and exclusion of females within the traditional disciplines (sexism), evaluate or apply emerging feminist research methods and theoretical perspectives, and present strategies designed to integrate women, their contributions, and experiences within the curriculum. Upper-division undergraduate and graduate collections."
