L'épouse silencieuse

Autor: Karin Slaughter

Número de Páginas: 632

Quand Will Trent déterre les cadavres de Grant County... Comme nombre de prisonniers, Daryl Nesbitt n’a cessé de clamer son innocence depuis qu’il est derrière les barreaux. Pourtant, lorsque l’agent spécial Will Trent, du Georgia Bureau of Investigation, accepte de se pencher sur son cas, il doit se rendre à l’évidence : sous des airs d’accidents, de jeunes femmes continuent d’être brutalement assassinées selon le mode opératoire imputé à Nesbitt. S’il devient clair que Will doit résoudre le crime d’origine pour parvenir à la vérité, près d’une décennie s’est écoulée – suffisamment de temps pour que les souvenirs s’estompent, que les témoins disparaissent et que les preuves s’évaporent. La tâche s’avère d’autant plus difficile qu’il doit remettre en question l’ancien chef de la police de Grant County, Jeffrey Tolliver, mort des années plus tôt. Un homme intouchable et estimé de tous, à commencer par la médecin légiste Sara Linton, petite amie de Will et ex-épouse du défunt Jeffrey...

A strong comprehension of early childhood theory is fundamental to early childhood educators' abilities to make informed decisions about the ways they support children's development and learning.

How Consumer Culture Controls Our Kids

Autor: Jennifer Hill

Número de Páginas: 346

This gripping book considers the history, techniques, and goals of child-targeted consumer campaigns and examines children's changing perceptions of what commodities they "need" to be valued and value themselves. In this critique of America's consumption-based society, author Jennifer Hill chronicles the impact of consumer culture on children—from the evolution of childhood play to a child's self-perception as a consumer to the consequences of this generation's repeated media exposure to violence. Hill proposes that corporations, eager to tap into a multibillion-dollar market, use the power of advertising and the media to mold children's thoughts and behaviors. The book features vignettes with teenagers explaining, in their own words, how advertising determines their needs, wants, and self-esteem. An in-depth analysis of this research reveals the influence of media on a young person's desire to conform, shows how broadcasted depictions of beauty distort the identities of children and teens, and uncovers corporate agendas for manipulating behavior in the younger generation. The work concludes with the position that corporations are shaping children to be efficient consumers but,...
