This major study reconsiders the creation of the Gandhian legend through the myriad texts and images that helped spread it through both India and the Western world. In revealing how the picture of the Mahatma as saint-as-politician was founded on Indian nationalistic selectivity and limited Western representations of Gandhi, Claude Markovits shows how Gandhi s legend has obscured the facts of his public career. Gandhi's professional role in the public sphere, Markovits argues, was heavily influenced by his long and critical phase of maturation in South Africa, a period often dismissed as the precursor to his celebrated work in India. Markovits proposes that Gandhi s later Indian career, marked by his meteoric rise to prominence, was the result of his own radical self-reinvention as he negotiated the pitfalls of political life in order to create his influential political manifesto.In reevaluating critical stages of Gandhi's career, and his sometimes ambivalent ideological positions, Markovits confronts the discrepancies between his early and late careers, closely rereading the Mahatma's varying intellectual positions as described both within his own writings and in those by commentators and biographers. Rather than seeing Gandhi as an upholder of traditional Indian values, Markovits stresses the paradoxical modernity of Gandhi's anti-modernism.The picture of Gandhi that emerges from "The Un-Gandhian Gandhi" is of a contradictory, multifaceted figure, whose peculiar modernity, and susceptibility to varying appropriations, makes him of enduring significance for future generations.

Tiger Woods is a golfing phenomenon with a mile-wide smile, a charismatic personality, and a talent that leaves other golfers gasping in astonishment. At the mere age of twenty-one, his accomplishments are already legendary. In 1997 he amazed the golfing world by winning the prestigious Masters Tournament in Augusta, Georgia. But winning is too tame a term for what Tiger did: he absolutely annihilated the competition, breaking records for lowest score on the back nine and lowest score ever on the course as well as defeating the top golfers in the world by a remarkable twelve strokes.

Tiger's victory at Augusta was the highlight of a young career already studded with stellar achievements on courses throughout the world. In this exciting biography, Matt Christopher, the number one sports writer for kids, chronicles those achievements and takes a look at Tiger's childhood and the greatest influences in his life: his father and mother.

Die Entwicklung der Hoeheren Madchen- und Frauenbildung im 19. Jahrhundert wurde lange Zeit nur im Zusammenhang mit der Geschichte der organisierten Frauenbewegung gesehen. Private Bildungsinitiativen einzelner Frauen wie Anna Vorwerk und Henriette Schrader-Breymann und ihre grosse Bedeutung fur das deutsche Madchenschulwesen wurden dabei zu wenig berucksichtigt. Als selbststandige Unternehmerinnen in Sachen Bildung bauten sie im Herzogtum Braunschweig eine Privatschule auf, die allgemeine Bildung und berufsbezogene Ausbildung vereinte. Das Leben und die Arbeit Anna Vorwerks zeigt eindrucksvoll, welche Handlungsspielraume sich burgerlich-konservative Frauen im ausgehenden 19. Jahrhundert schafften. Trotz staatlicher Restriktionen und gesellschaftlicher Ablehnung taten Frauen wie sie den Schritt in die OEffentlichkeit und ermoeglichten Madchen und jungen Frauen den Weg an die Universitaten und in die Erwerbstatigkeit.

The frontier between "law" and "politics" is not always clear-cut. Although courts are allowed to function broadly, governments and parliaments can also make independent decisions. Tim Koopmans compares the way American, British, French and German law and politics handle different issues. For example, highly "political" subjects in one country may constitute legal issues in another. Koopmans considers case law in a range of issues, including human rights protection, federalism, separation of powers, and the impact of European and international law.

Kinderlyrik bewegt sich zwischen den Polen Oralitat und Literalitat. Dieses Dasein im Dazwischen spiegelt sich auch in den kindlichen Umgangsweisen mit Kinderlyrik wider. Neben einer historisch-hermeneutischen Verortung der Gattung Kinderlyrik wird in diesem Buch dessen Realisierung untersucht. Dabei wird zunachst der Blick auf die Familie als primarer Sozialisationsinstanz gerichtet. Ihre Bedeutung wird im Hinblick auf die Entwicklung von Sprachbewusstheit untersucht. Im Zentrum der Uberlegungen stehen schlieszlig; lich die Leistungen von Vorschulkindern im Umgang mit gereimter Sprache. Ihre sprachilchen Handlungen verweisen auf das Vorhandensein von Phonologischer Bewusstheit und Metasprachilichkeit und markieren damit eine erste Annaherung an Schriftsprachlichkeit. Es wird gezeigt, dass Kinder, die noch nicht lesen und schreiben konnen, bereits uber Wissensstrukturen verfugen, die erste Spuren von Literalitat aufweisen.

Philosophy in schools in Australia dates back to the 1980s and is rooted in the Philosophy for Children curriculum and pedagogy. Seeing potential for educational change, Australian advocates were quick to develop new classroom resources and innovative programs that have proved influential in educational practice throughout Australia and internationally. Behind their contributions lie key philosophical and educational discussions and controversies which have shaped attempts to introduce philosophy in schools and embed it in state and national curricula. Drawing together a wide range of eminent scholars and practitioners in the field of educational philosophy, this anthology, the first of its kind, provides not only a historical narrative, but an opportunity to reflect on the insights and experiences of the authors that have made history. The collection is divided into three parts. The overarching theme of Part I is the early years of Philosophy for Children in Australia and how they informed the course that the 'philosophy in schools movement' would take. Part II focuses on the events and debates surrounding the development and production of new materials, including arguments for and against the suitability of the original Philosophy for Children curriculum. In Part III, key developments relating to teaching philosophy in schools are analysed. This collection of diverse views, critical appraisals, and different perspectives of historical currents is intended to stimulate thought-provoking questions about theory and practice, and to increase general awareness both nationally and internationally of the maturation of philosophy in schools in Australia. It is also intended to encourage readers to identify emerging ideas and develop strategies for their implementation.

Global Citizenship Education addresses the intersection of globalization, education and programmatic efforts to prepare young people to live in a more interdependent, complex and fragile world. The book explores topics such as sustainability education, cultural diversity, and human rights education, offering critical insights into how these facets of GCE are interpreted around the world. The book also strives to give voice to student populations within historically marginalized communities, rather than focusing solely on the role of GCE in elite schools. Gaudelli blends theory and practice to provide both an overview of GCE as well as examining current efforts to develop more globally-conscious classrooms. Blending empirical research and practical illustrations, this important volume encourages educators to take seriously their own call to prepare young people to engage global challenges with a sense of urgency and helps chart a new direction for global learning that is increasingly expansive, dialogic and inclusive.

If a bus could talk, it would tell the story of a young African-American girl named Rosa who had to walk miles to her one-room schoolhouse in Alabama while white children rode to their school in a bus. It would tell how the adult Rosa rode to and from work on a segregated city bus and couldn't sit in the same row as a white person.
