Soft cover. Condition: New. No Jacket. Meagan Skerchock (illustrator). 1st Edition. This book of "mathacrostics" can be appreciated by two major audiences. It will definitely be useful to those wishing to review, re-learn, or learn algebra - - while having some fun doing so. Working back and forth between the quote and the problems should provide any needed discovery, review, or insight . . . and the spiral review within each puzzle will go a long way in promoting mastery. For those who simply enjoy doing math, it will provide an alternative recreational puzzle to crosswords, word-searches, and Sudoku. It will enable both brushing-up and enrichment in algebra, along with a break from the word puzzles. All the problems were designed to be done without a calculator, though some might require scratch work. All the quotes were selected to elicit a chuckle, an insight, or both. Another "audience" for whom the book will provide an even greater benefit, is the classroom teacher. It COULD be used as a textbook for any teacher (home schooling, or otherwise) who knows their stuff . . . and simply needs a bank of good problems to supplement their explanations. It might be better used as a supplement for the classroom teacher who needs extra problems, review problems, or a break from the problems in their textbook. Signed by Author(s).

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Unhoused: Adorno and the Problem of Dwelling is the first book-length study of Theodor Adorno as a philosopher of housing. Treating his own experience of exile as emblematic of late modern life, Adorno observed that twentieth-century dwelling had been rendered "impossible" by nativism, by the decimations of war, and, in the postwar period, by housing's increasingly thorough assimilation into private property. Adorno's position on the meaning and prospects for adequate dwelling-a concept he never wrote about systematically but nevertheless returned to frequently-was not that some invulnerable state of home or dwelling should be revived. Rather, Adorno believed that the only responsible approach to housing was to cultivate an ethic of displacement, to learn "how not to be at home in one's home."Unhoused tracks four figurations of troubled dwelling in Adorno's texts-homelessness, no man's lands, the nature theater, and the ironic property relation-and reads them as timely interventions and challenges for today's architecture, housing, and senses of belonging. Entangled as we are in juridical and financial frameworks that adhere to a very different logic, these figurations ask what it means to organize, design, build, and cohabit in ways that enliven non-exclusive relations to ourselves, others, objects, and place. Unhoused is the first study of Theodor Adorno as a philosopher of housing. Matt Waggoner tracks four figurations of troubled dwelling in Adornos textshomelessness, no mans lands, the nature theater, and the ironic property relationand reads them as timely interventions and challenges for todays architecture, housing, and senses of belonging.

First Edition
Trade Paperback. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: No Jacket As Issued. Meagan Skerchock (illustrator). First Edition. There are many Pre-Algebra books on the market. There's a dearth of Pre-Geometry books. The fifty puzzles within Pre-Geometry Puzzle Riddles will fill many voids. The book will serve as a needed refresher . . . or a refreshing supplement for geometry. The puzzles do aim to satisfy today's trends, but are also intended to help replace the logic (and fun) lost from a more traditional geometry. Both instructors and students will have "aha-moments" as they work through the puzzles to answer the riddles. (Multiple copies available.).
