Through a series of case studies, this third volume in the Earth
series deals with the technological constraints and innovations
that enabled societies to survive and thrive across a range of
environmental conditions. The contributions are structured into
three sections to draw out particular commonalities and contrasts
in the choices made by pre-industrial communities in the
construction of varied landscapes and cultural heritage: Landnam,
from the Old Norse for'taking of land', deals with colonisation,
including the drivers and processes through which colonisers
developed an understanding of the productive potential and
limitations of their new lands. Fields and field systems:
Field-walls are a distinctive and apparently timeless
characteristic of many pre-industrial farming landscapes but they
present many the challenges to their study, such as the effects of
ploughing, abandonment and land-use change and of urban development
in fertile lowland zones which may eradicate, reduce or conceal
past systems of land-use and division. The importance of indirect
and proxy evidence is illustrated and the value of
interdisciplinary and modelling approaches emphasised.
Agro-pastoralism: focuses on the complex'time-space adaptations'
devised for managing cultivation and livestock production,
particularly the need to prevent stock incursions into arable
fields during the growing season whilst making effective use of
seasonal grazing resources. The contributions focus on mountainous
areas, where temporary migrations, in the form of transhumance,
provided access to a diversity of resources based around seasonal
constraints on their availability and productivity.
More than a decade has passed since the First International
Conference of the Learning Sciences (ICLS) was held at Northwestern
University in 1991. The conference has now become an established
place for researchers to gather. The 2004 meeting is the first
under the official sponsorship of the International Society of the
Learning Sciences (ISLS). The theme of this conference is
"Embracing Diversity in the Learning Sciences." As a field, the
learning sciences have always drawn from a diverse set of
disciplines to study learning in an array of settings. Psychology,
cognitive science, anthropology, and artificial intelligence have
all contributed to the development of methodologies to study
learning in schools, museums, and organizations. As the field
grows, however, it increasingly recognizes the challenges to
studying and changing learning environments across levels in
complex social systems. This demands attention to new kinds of
diversity in who, what, and how we study; and to the issues raised
to develop coherent accounts of how learning occurs. Ranging from
schools to families, and across all levels of formal schooling from
pre-school through higher education, this ideology can be supported
in a multitude of social contexts. The papers in these conference
proceedings respond to the call.

Drawing from research in developmental and educational psychology,
cognitive science, and the learning sciences, Five Teaching and
Learning Myths-Debunked addresses some of the most commonly
misunderstood educational and cognitive concerns in teaching and
learning. Multitasking, problem-solving, attention, testing, and
learning styles are all integral to student achievement but, in
practice, are often muddled by pervasive myths. In a
straightforward, easily digestible format, this book unpacks the
evidence for or against each myth, explains the issues concisely
and with credible evidence, and provides busy K-12 teachers with
actionable strategies for their classrooms and lesson plans.
This international, edited collection brings together personal
accounts from researchers working in and on conflict and explores
the roles of emotion, violence, uncertainty, identity and
positionality within the process of doing research, as well as the
complexity of methodological choices. It highlights the
researchers' own subjectivity and presents a nuanced view of
conflict research that goes beyond the 'messiness' inherent in the
process of research in and on violence. It addresses the
uncomfortable spaces of conflict research, the potential for
violence of research itself and the need for deeper reflection on
these issues. This powerful book opens up spaces for new
conversations about the realities of conflict research. These
critical self-reflections and honest accounts provide important
insights for any scholar or practitioner working in similar
environments.

A rural Filipino family discover the realities of life on the
streets of the capital in director Sean Ellis's crime thriller.
Forced to find work when the price of rice plummets, provincial
farmer Oscar Ramirez (Jake Macapagal) sets out with his wife Mai
(Althea Vega) and their two young children for the capital, Manila.
Unfortunately, they soon find themselves the targets for a
succession of crooks and scammers, leaving them destitute and
living in a slum district. Although their fortunes seem set improve
when Oscar manages to get a job working as a security guard on
armoured cars, he soon finds himself conflicted when his partner
Ong (John Arcilla) places temptation in his way by suggesting they
steal a shipment of drugs money.
Security, Development, and Violence in Afghanistan provides a
unique insight into the lived realities of the international
intervention in Afghanistan and highlights the diversity,
relationships, and interdependence of various groups including both
external actors and Afghan communities. Analysis of the
international intervention in Afghanistan following the post 9/11
invasion in 2001, one of the largest and most expensive in history,
tends to focus on the perspective of organisational dynamics and
policies or external actors. Drawing on the author's five years of
experience living, researching and working in Afghanistan, this
book uses ethnographic methodologies to explore the micro-level
interactions between different actors, showing how communities,
local leaders, aid workers, UN officials, military and others
navigated shifting security, development, and conflict dynamics.
Starting with a contextual introduction to the intervention and the
key debates surrounding it, this book goes on to explore the
stories of security, development, and violence as constructed
through official policy discourse, and then through the lived
experiences of interveners and local actors. The book weaves a
compelling narrative which links local and global issues and
focuses on the everyday practices, relationships and acts of
resistance which take place in two provinces of Afghanistan.
Finally, the author highlights what this book's findings mean both
for what we know about Afghanistan and for how we understand
international interventions and the everyday dynamics between
actors who live and work in spaces of conflict. Security,
Development, and Violence in Afghanistan: Everyday Stories of
Intervention will be of considerable interest to scholars and
professionals with an interest in Afghanistan, aid work,
humanitarian intervention, development studies, and peace and
conflict studies.

Life Under the Baobab Tree: Africana Studies and Religion in a
Transitional Age is a compendium of innovating essays meticulously
written by early and later diaspora people of African descent.
Their speech arises from the depth of their experiences under the
Baobab tree and offers to the world voices of resilience,
newness/resurrection, hope, and life. Resolutely journeying on the
trails of their ancestors, they speak about setbacks and
forward-looking movements of liberation, social transformation, and
community formation. The volume is a carefully woven conversation
of intellectual substance and structure across time, space, and
spirituality that is quintessentially “Africana” in its
centering of methodological, theoretical, epistemological, and
hermeneutical complexity that assumes nonlinear and dialogical
approaches to developing liberating epistemologies in the face of
imperialism, colonialism, racism, and religious intolerance. A
critical part of this conversation is a reconceptualization and
reconfiguration of the concept of religion in its colonial and
imperial forms. Life Under the Baobab Tree examines how Africana
peoples understand their corporate experiences of the divine not as
“religion” apart from its intimate connections to social
realities of communal health, economics, culture, politics,
environment, violence, war, and dynamic community belonging. To
that end Afro-Pessimistic formulations of life placed in dialogic
relation Afro-Optimism. Both realities constitute life under the
Baobab tree and represent the sturdiness and variation that anchors
the deep ruptures that have affected Africana life and the creative
responses. The metaphor and substance of the tree resists
reductionist, essentialist, and assured conclusions about the
nature of diasporic lived experiences, both within the continent of
Africa and in the African Diaspora.
I Always Wanted To Be Somebody is the intimate and candid story of
a girl who grew up in the asphalt environs of Harlem, skipping
school, drinking hard liquor, stealing and fist-fighting, but went
on to break the color barrier in tennis and achieving the pinnacle
of the sport by winning Wimbledon and the U.S. Open and becoming an
inspiration for many future champions such as Billie Jean King,
Arthur Ashe, Venus Williams, and Serena Williams, among many
others.
