In her short life Isabelle Eberhardt (1877-1904) came to be known as the ultimate enigma and representative of everything that seemed dangerous in nineteenth century society. Born the illegitimate daughter of an aristocratic Russian emigree she was a cross-dresser and sensualist, an experienced drug-taker and a transgressor of boundaries: a European reborn in the desert as an Arab and Muslim, a woman who reinvented herself as a man, wandering the Sahara on horseback. A profoundly lonely individual for all her numerous sexual adventures, she roused controversy and was loved and hated in equal measure. A mysterious attempt was made on her life and even her eventual death was ambiguous: she drowned in the desert at the age of twenty-seven.

Drawing on diaries and unpublished correspondence, this account profiles the enigmatic, unconventional young Russian woman who settled in the North African desert and became an almost legendary figure in turn-of-the century Europe

Born in 1877 in Geneva, Switzerland, Isabelle Eberhardt became a rebel at an early age. She dressed like a man so she could have access to areas forbidden to women, smoked in public, and scandalized Genevan society. Already multilingual (French, German, and Russian), she began studying Arabic language and Islamic culture and eventually converted to Islam and joined a Qadiriyya Sufi brotherhood. Eberhardt traveled throughout North Africa and wrote about her experiences in short stories, journals, and reflections. She married an Algerian and led a legendary and stormy life that included subversive political anarchism, the mysticism of Islam, numerous love affairs, and most importantly, writing unmatched by her contemporaries. Writings from the Sand, Volume 1, at once the document of a remarkable life and a literary treasure, appears here in English for the first time. Volume 1, including journals, diary entries, and observations of life in North Africa, offers a view of the culture and people of French Algeria rarely seen by outsiders—the peasants, prostitutes, mystics, criminals, and other marginalized members of a colonized society. This translation brings to life a brilliant woman ahead of her time while also raising questions—about North African history, colonialism, gender representation, and writing—that resonate in our day.

The companion to volume 1, Writings from the Sand, Volume 2, showcases the prose of one of the twentieth century’s most fascinating female wanderers and includes previously unpublished stories and an unfinished novel. This new volume exemplifies Eberhardt’s creation of identity in fiction as her writing explores the world of prostitutes, Bedouins, and French colonists in exotic tales of love and conquest.

Problem-Based Learning in the Life Science Classroom, K 12 offers a great new way to ignite your creativity. Authors Tom McConnell, Joyce Parker, and Janet Eberhardt show you how to engage students with scenarios that represent real-world science in all its messy, thought-provoking glory. The scenarios prompt K 12 learners to immerse themselves in analyzing problems, asking questions, posing hypotheses, finding needed information, and then constructing a proposed solution. In addition to complete lesson plans supporting the Next Generation Science Standards, the book offers extensive examples, instructions, and tips. The lessons cover four categories: life cycles, ecology, genetics, and cellular metabolism. But Problem-Based Learning in the Life Science Classroom, K 12 doesn t just explain why, how, and when to implement problem-based learning (PBL). It also provides you with what many think is the trickiest part of the approach: rich, authentic problems. The authors facilitated the National Science Foundation funded PBL Project for Teachers and used the problems in their own science teaching, so you can be confident that the problems and the approach are teacher tested and approved.

Kosmos X-Contemporary Chamber Music Eberhardt - CD 4014513030771

Voici, pour la première fois, l'oeuvre complète d'Isabelle Eberhardt. Ecrits sur le sable, le premier volume, réunit l'intégralité des Journaliers, des Notes de Route et de Vagabondages. Ces textes constituent la chronique de ce que vécut Isabelle Eberhardt à partir du moment où elle choisit de s'immerger dans le Sahara. Le fil de ce véritable récit, lentement, se confond avec la route qu'elle emprunte et, page après page, le paysage absorbe tout à la fois l'auteur et son lecteur. Pour autant, l'exotisme est absent de ces pages. La magie du désert, conjuguée au regard d'Isabelle Eberhardt, suffit pour engendrer la légende. Flaubert, Maupassant, Loti et la fièvre orientaliste ne sont pas loin et, cependant, cette grande voyageuse dépasse ces illustres témoins : elle ancre le récit de ses pérégrinations au coeur de la mythologie. Depuis toujours, ces textes ont fait rêver. Au point d'être mis en scène par des épigones, interprétés, coupés, amendés, corrigés par des amoureux que certaines libertés de cet écrivain audacieux effrayaient. Voici, donc, l'oeuvre d'Isabelle Eberhardt rétablie dans sa forme originelle et ordonnée comme elle l'aurait souhaité. Un second volume réunit les oeuvres romanesques d'Isabelle Eberhardt.

Investigating the shooting of his friend Lt. Eberhardt, the "Nameless Detective" finds himself caught in a life-threatening web of murder, bribery, violence, and organized crime in San Francisco's Chinatown

Pronzini's "nameless" San Francisco detective and his partner Eberhardt are trying to prove that their client Thomas Lujack did not mow down his business partner with his car. Although he suspects his client's guilt early on, the 58-year-old gumshoe spends three weeks looking for flaws in the testimony of the hit-and-run's sole witness. Then Lujack is found murdered, the witness disappears, and the detective, instead of being asked to step up his investigation, is discharged by the victim's brother Coleman. In full moral outrage, the veteran detective bulldogs his way through the case, uncovering evidence about the brothers' employment of illegal immigrants. Two-time Shamus Award-winner Pronzini ( Shackles ) delivers rapid-fire dialogue, surprising plot twists and even satisfying fisticuffs on a fog-laden rocky beach, but this rambling adventure, its narrator's trademark melancholy weightier than ever, moves readers to the edge of their seats only at the conclusion.
