Begun in 1982, the Algebra Project is transforming math education in twenty-five cities. Founded on the belief that math-science literacy is a prerequisite for full citizenship in society, the Project works with entire communities-parents, teachers, and especially students-to create a culture of literacy around algebra, a crucial stepping-stone to college math and opportunity.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Telling the story of this remarkable program, Robert Moses draws on lessons from the 1960s Southern voter registration he famously helped organize- 'Everyone said sharecroppers didn't want to vote. It wasn't until we got them demanding to vote that we got attention. Today, when kids are falling wholesale through the cracks, people say they don't want to learn. We have to get the kids themselves to demand what everyone says they don't want.'\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e We see the Algebra Project organizing community by community. Older kids serve as coaches for younger students and build a self-sustained tradition of leadership. Teachers use innovative techniques. And we see the remarkable success stories of schools like the predominately poor Hart School in Bessemer, Alabama, which outscored the city's middle-class flagship school in just three years.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eRadical Equations\u003c\/i\u003e provides a model for anyone looking for a community-based solution to the problems of our disadvantaged schools.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49573653741841,"sku":"GOR009566166","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49653109260561,"sku":"CIN0807031275G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49729423606033,"sku":"NGR9780807031278","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ LIKE_NEW \/ SBYB","offer_id":50052921458961,"sku":"CIN0807031275LN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50165488746769,"sku":"CIN0807031275A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50187100815633,"sku":"CIN0807031275VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50213799493905,"sku":"GOR013890059","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51077054890257,"sku":"NIN9780807031278","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0807031275.jpg?v=1751362668"},{"product_id":"information-please-entertainment-almanac-book-robert-moses-9780395828557","title":"Information Please Entertainment Almanac","description":"Fiction. Mucking about Britain's dankest districts, Julie Reverb's Lucy and Billy release squalls of bitterly beautiful mortal ache. The interpenetrating narratives of NO MON are torch songs ablaze on the page, flaming straight to your heart. Julie Reverb is a dauntless devastator of what passes for fiction these days, crashing through the templates into something nervily original.--Gary Lutz\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEvery chapter in NO MON is shadowed by loss and longing, and every chapter's every sentence estranges language from timeworn usage. Julie Reverb possesses that rare gift--think Kathy Acker, Sam Lipsyte, James Joyce--to surprise her reader, with mimetic grit and linguistic rigor, into fits of quizzical laughter. The care and ingenuity with which this novel works to portray the content of its protagonist's mind is unsurpassed in recent fiction: Lucy's consciousness inflects the narrative dynamically, eloquently, always masterfully. NO MON is a revelatory expos  on the body, a lyrical meditation on grief, and an explosion of literary decorum--it's a tour de force.--Evan Lavender- Smith\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Julie Reverb's writing fluctuates with a fluid syntax punctuated with unpredictable nouns, unexpected adjectives, and other verbal surprises. I've never read anything quite like these stories before and you probably haven't either.--Michael Kimball","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":49938338218257,"sku":"CIN0395828554A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50323755565329,"sku":"CIN0395828554G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0395828554.jpg?v=1750782039"},{"product_id":"amc-classic-movie-companion-book-robert-moses-9780786883943","title":"Amc Classic Movie Companion","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50364898574609,"sku":"CIN0786883944A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51074603811089,"sku":"CIN0786883944VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51521853686033,"sku":"GOR010881415","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51767939432721,"sku":"CIN0786883944G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0786883944.jpg?v=1750849353"},{"product_id":"ruby-at-the-gate-book-robert-moses-9780999288535","title":"Ruby at the Gate","description":"Based on a true story about how the author cared for a weak lamb born on his farm in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia.
