Why do you live where you do? The answer is a lot more complicated
than it might seem. Why that house? Why this community? Why do
cities sprout where they do? And what makes living there even
possible? Geography, topography, climate, landscape, food,
politics, economics, and more all play a role in how we choose the
place we call home. This book takes readers on a tour of various
ways humans adapt to our environments -- or change them to suit our
needs. It considers the big picture -- we live on Earth because it
has a breathable atmosphere -- right down to the little things,
like friendly neighbors, that simply make us happy. "Why We Live
Where We Live" looks back in history at the transition from nomadic
hunting to farming and the rise of cities following the Industrial
Revolution. It also looks ahead to anticipate new concerns: how
will climate change and rising water affect people who live near
the ocean? Can humans survive in space? This comprehensive,
cross-curricular resource will equip readers with solid background
in human habitation and context about their place on the planet.
The question at the heart of the book is what might an education with self-care and care-for-others look like? Juxtaposing self-understanding through the method of currere and the historical character of hakbeolism (a concept indigenous to Korea referring to a kind of social status people achieve based on a shared academic background), this book articulates how subjective reconstruction of self in conjunction with historical study can be transformative, and how this can be extended to social change. Articulating how having one's own standard can be a way of making one's life a work of art, the author looks at how Korean schooling exercises coercive care, disconfirmation, and the "whip of love" for the children's own good. Emphasis is given to the internalized status of these practices in both students and teachers and to teachers' and parents' culpability not only in exercising but also in reproducing these practices through themselves. Going beyond describing and analysing the educational problem of academic (intellectual) achievement-oriented education based on aggressive competition, this book suggests ways to address these issues through autobiography (using the method of currere to reconstruct one's subjectivity) and an ethic of care.
This edited volume serves as a place for teachers and scholars to begin seeking ways in which popular culture has been effectively tapped for research and teaching purposes around the country. The contents of the book came together in a way that allowed for a detailed examination of teaching with popular culture on many levels. The first part allows teachers in PreK-12 schools the opportunity to share their successful practices. The second part affords the same opportunity to teachers in community colleges and university settings. The third part shows the impact of US popular culture in classrooms around the world. The fourth part closes the loop, to some extent, showing how universities can prepare teachers to use popular culture with their future PreK-12 students. The final part of the book allows researchers to discuss the impact popular culture plays in their work. It also seeks to address a shortcoming in the field; while there are outlets to publish studies of popular culture, and outlets to publish pedagogical/practitioner pieces, there is no outlet to publish practitioner pieces on studying popular culture, in spite of the increased popularity and legitimacy of the field.

Frauen sind in den letzten Jahrhunderten - ganz bevorzugt in den letzten Jahrzehnten - kulturgeschichtlich viel intensiver und origineller tatig gewesen, als dies gemeinhin wahrgenommen wird. Was genau die kulturhistorischen Dimensionen des "Frau-Seins" sind, wird vom Autor differenziert betrachtet und dargestellt. Die Kulturgeschichte wurde ohne den Anteil, den diese Frauen daran hatten, ganz anders aussehen. Der weibliche Einfluss ist unverkennbar im Wachsen begriffen und sein Anteil an kulturgeschichtlicher Entwicklung darf nicht unterschatzt werden.

Who doesn't love a great mystery? This book presents the eerie accidents and unexplained disappearances that have occurred in the region known as the Bermuda Triangle. Even before it was named, the Bermuda Triangle--roughly bounded by Miami, Bermuda, and Puerto Rico--had gained a mythic reputation. The Bermuda Triangle became famous for making boats and ships vanish, and for snatching planes right out of the sky. But are these stories true? And if they are true, is there a more sensible reason that refutes the bad karma of the region? With so many mystifying events to learn about, readers will love disappearing into this story.
