Reflecting on the theoretical knowledge and practical skills
required to teach social studies in an effective manner, the text
first introduces its readers to the various components, study
material, scope and importance of social studies. It then teaches
the formulation of instructional objectives in social studies, and
brings out the principles of social studies curriculum as well as
its relationship with other subjects of the school curriculum. The
book focuses mainly on improving the methodological concepts of the
social studies teacher, and in doing so, discusses various methods
of teaching; evaluation and planning of lessons, units and courses;
organization of social studies room and the equipment to be kept in
it; utilization of community resources; and implementation of
various co-curricular activities. It also examines certain
innovative methods of teaching such as team-teaching,
micro-teaching and individualized instruction.
Climate engineering is a dystopian project. But as the human
species hurtles ever faster towards its own extinction,
geoengineering as a temporary fix, to buy time for carbon removal,
is a seductive idea. We are right to fear that geoengineering will
be used to maintain the status quo, but is there another possible
future after geoengineering? Can these technologies and practices
be used to bring carbon levels back down to pre-industrial levels?
Are there possibilities for massive intentional intervention in the
climate that are democratic, decentralised, or participatory? These
questions are provocative, because they go against a binary that
has become common sense: geoengineering is assumed to be on the
side of industrial agriculture, inequality and ecomodernism, in
opposition to degrowth, renewable energy, sustainable agriculture
and climate justice. After Geoengineering rejects this binary, to
ask: what if the people seized the means of climate production?
Both critical and utopian, the book examines the possible futures
after geoengineering. Rejecting the idea that geoengineering is
some kind of easy work-around, Holly Buck outlines the kind of
social transformation that would be necessary to enact a programme
of geoengineering in the first place.
Popular Lost Cities author David Childress opens the door to the
amazing world of ancient technology, from the computers of ancient
world to the "flying machines of the gods." Technology of the Gods
explores the technology that was allegedly used in Atlantis and the
theory the Great Pyramid of Egypt was originally a gigantic power
station. Childress also uncovers many other mysteries, including:
-- the technology of ancient flight
-- how the ancients used electricity
-- megalithic building techniques
-- the use of crystal lenses and the fire from the gods
-- ancient evidence of high-tech weapons, including atomic
weapons
-- the role of modern inventors, such as Nikola Tesla, in bringing
ancient technology into modern use
-- impossible artifacts, and more, much more.
Childress has done it again! From beginning to end, Technology
of the Gods is filled with facts, keen observations and tales that
challenge modern assumptions in a humorous, intelligent and
compelling way that is quintessential Childress.

What useful changes has feminism brought to science? Feminists have
enjoyed success in their efforts to open many fields to women as
participants. But the effects of feminism have not been restricted
to altering employment and professional opportunities for women.
The essays in this volume explore how feminist theory has had a
direct impact on research in the biological and social sciences, in
medicine, and in technology, often providing the impetus for
fundamentally changing the theoretical underpinnings and practices
of such research. In archaeology, evidence of women's hunting
activities suggested by spears found in women's graves is no longer
dismissed; computer scientists have used feminist epistemologies
for rethinking the human-interface problems of our growing reliance
on computers. Attention to women's movements often tends to
reinforce a presumption that feminism changes institutions through
critique-from-without. This volume reveals the potent but not
always visible transformations feminism has brought to science,
technology, and medicine from within. Contributors: Ruth Schwartz
