| Long Description | ''Drawing from a lifetime of deep thinking about education and courageous commitment to precious students, Rick and William Ayers have given us a marvelous book. Their devastating critique of the pervasive market models in education and their powerful defense of democratic forms of imagination in schools are so badly needed in our present day crisis!'' -- Cornel West , Princeton University '' Teaching the Taboo is provocative, challenging, funny in places, wild enough and sensible enough to be useful, inspiring, and practical for educators who are working to negate the educational madness that is infecting the schools.'' -- Herb Kohl , author of 36 Children and Painting Chinese ''Like all good teachers, the Ayers brothers challenge us to enter and engage our deepest, darkest questions and/or concerns in the classroom. In the end, the best thing we can do as critical educators is to teach that which is TABOO!'' -- David Stovall , University of Illinois at Chicago ''Don't be mistaken -- what counts as 'taboo' is often the very thing that must be addressed for change to occur, as brilliantly illustrated in this new book by Richard and William Ayers.'' -- Kevin Kumashiro , founding director of the Center for Anti-Oppressive Education and author of The Seduction of Common Sense Education at its best is about opening doors, opening minds, and inviting students to become powerful choice-makers as they forge their own pathways into a wider world. While many teachers long for teaching to be something transcendent and powerful, they all too often find themselves teaching obedience and conformity. This dynamic book -- by two renowned educators -- is filled with classroom stories of everyday teachers grappling with many of today's hotly debated issues. These stories of courage and resistance will help today's teachers confront the cynicism and demoralization that has gripped the profession in this age of standardization and testing. It will help teachers to teach initiative, to teach imagination, to ''teach the taboo.'' This is a hands-on manual for anyone looking to evolve as an educator. |

The data feed API is URL based, but if you prefer to use the REST interface, you can do most things using that method.
Your API key should be in the request header "x-api-key" but will also work on the URL if you prefer using keycode=????????
When accessing the API using REST, the URL needs to be in this format:
https://eandata.com/feed/{version}/{action}/{dataID}/
version: The API version you are trying to access starting with the letter "v" followed by the version number as an integer. (ie: v3 or v2)
action: The action you wish to perform. Not all actions are currently available using the API. The ones that work currently are:
- find: perform a data lookup
- search: perform a text search
- asin-to-ean: convert an Amazon ASIN into an EAN
- imdb-to-ean: convert and IMDB ID into an EAN
dataID: This is the data you are searching for. For "find" this is an EAN or UPC code. For "search" this can be any text properly encoded for he URL.
To get your data back as XML, put "application/xml" in your "accept" header. If you prefer JSON (the default format) you can leave off the "accept" header or send "application/json". You can also include your preference on the URL using mode=json or mode=xml but using the request header is the preferred method.
We will continue to add more REST interface features in the future so be sure to check back on this page every once in a while.
*** Updating data via the REST interface is not ready yet but will require test=1 on the URL as the first variable if you are testing your application to prevent actual data updates. Placing it later on the URL could cause this variable to be skipped if you have errors in your URL.
