Martyn Rawson Bücher

In Zeiten globaler Migration wird das Thema der Sesshaftigkeit zum prekären kulturgeschichtlichen und pädagogischen Problem, geht es dabei doch nicht nur um eine entscheidende Wende in der Menschheitsentwicklung, sondern um eine Frage, die auch unsere heutige Lebensform angeht. Martyn Rawson erschließt zum einen wenig bekannte, aber pädagogisch fruchtbare Weltgegenden wie die Osterinsel, zum anderen geht er vielschichtig auf die pädagogischen Implikationen für den Geschichtsunterricht ein. Das entscheidende Verbindungsglied zwischen der Menschheitsentwicklung und der Entwicklung der Jugendlichen ist die Suche nach Identität – ein immer brisantes Jugendthema und ein zentraler geistesgeschichtlicher Gegenstand.

Andy Sweet is a kid without much going for him. His classmates have dubbed him "Duct Tape" because his tattered discount-store sneakers are held together with...you guessed it, duct tape. He can't escape the bullying. Andy's luck changes after he finds a $20 gold piece on the stream bed while swimming with his sister in a stream near their home. Andy later buys a $1 souvenir treasure map at the county fair. The map shows the route to the "lost treasure" of the notorious outlaw Jesse James. Andy can't help but wonder: is there a link between the "fake" treasure map and the gold coin? He is determined to find out.
