Bøger af Peter Collier

An updated edition of the New York Times bestseller, featuring 12 new recipients and a new foreword by Bradley Cooper   Eight veterans from the war in Afghanistan have been awarded our nation’s highest honor for valor in combat since the publication of the third edition of Medal of Honor, including Edward C. Byers, Jr., the newest living recipient and a member of Navy SEAL Team Six, and Clint Romesha, author of the New York Times bestselling Red Platoon. And nearly 50 years after their service, four Vietnam veterans have also since received the recognition they so richly deserve. Now these men rightly take their place in the pages of this revised and updated edition. Included here are 156 Medal of Honor recipients, captured with a contemporary portrait by award-winning photographer Nick Del Calzo and profiled in moving text by National Book Award nominee Peter Collier. The men in the book fought in conflicts from World War II to Afghanistan, served in every branch of the armed services, and represent a cross section as diverse as America itself. This is their ultimate record.

Presents a story of an intellectual journey into and out of the radical trenches.

This story is designed and written by Peter Collier for both the reader and the listener. Children will request parents to continuously re-read a story that has caught their imagination. When written in free verse, a story is both a delight to read and to hear. The reader feels accomplished when reading this story and, in the act of story telling, begins exaggerating tone, inflection, and mood. The illustrations by Simon Redekop are an expanding visual element, necessary for a clear understanding of the story. Without imaginative, detailed, and related illustrations the full scope of possible humour for the story is not complete.This story constitute several conceptual elements to motivate reading and precipitate a positive child''s reading development. When constructed in free verse rhyme, while reading along, children quickly begin to retain portions of the story.Once the child begins reading independantly, such stories act as memory assisting templates to guide the beginning reader through their first reading selections. The reading successes of a child will fuel additional comprehension activities and help to jump start reading skills that greatly motivate the young reader. For the adult reader such stories are always a treat.I understand the necessity to include a reader''s interests and needs as part of the story telling activities. The length of my stories are designed to be between 10 to 15 minutes, to act as a short break or bedtime activity. I have avoided making up new nouns and adjectives for purposes of rhyme, understanding that teachers do not appreciate this activity. I find that by identifying children by full name, as the story characters, it adds a sense of identity and reality. The children accept the diversity of people, which, in turn, opens the imagination to accepting limitless fictional situations and opportunities.

This study of Proust's famous novel A la recherche du temps perdu (Remembrance of Things Past) focuses on Venice, one of the hero's central obsessions, and shows how a whole network of allusions to art (from Titian to Turner, from Byzantine mosaic to Fortuny dresses) ties in with the hero's quest for self-knowledge and self-fulfilment.
