'This is an impressive book that will be of wide interest to adult
educators everywhere.Many of the book's contributors work at the
University of Technology, Sydney - surely the world's pre-eminent
institution for the study of adult learning, and the most open and
generous location for debate. Its virtues are the book's.' Alan
Tuckett, National Institute of Adult Continuing Education, UK 'I am
happy to endorse this book enthusiastically as being appropriate
for a North American audience of adult educators.Though it's an
intentionally introductory survey, it never talks down to readers,
never condescends. On the other hand, it's not so intenationally
erudite that it collagpses into theoretical posturing; it stays
firmly grounded in and connected to practice.' Stephen Brookfield,
University of St. Thomas, USA Understanding Adult Education and
Training offers a broad overview of the field for adult educators
and workplace trainers. It introduces the keys issues, debates and
theories in a way which is relevant to practice. Its aim is to
deepen readers' understanding of adult learning and education so
that they can be better practitioners. Adult education is a diverse
field so there is no single body of knowledge which is appropriate
for all adult educators. Understanding Adult Education and Training

associated fields, and shows readers how they can use it their own
circumstances. The first edition of this book has become a standard
reference for students and professionals in Australia. This edition

The internet origins of the American transgender movement The Two
Revolutions explores how the rise of the internet shaped
transgender identity and activism from the 1980s to the present.
Through extensive archival research and media archeology, Avery
Dame-Griff reconstructs the manifold digital networks of
transgender activists, cross-dressing computer hobbyists, and
others interested in gender nonconformity who incited the second
revolution of the title: the ascendance of “transgender” as an
umbrella identity in the mid-1990s. Dame-Griff argues that digital
communications sparked significant momentum within what would
become the transgender movement, but also further cemented existing
power structures. Covering both a historical period that is largely
neglected within the history of computing, and the poorly
understood role of technology in queer and trans social movements,
The Two Revolutions offers a new understanding of both
revolutions—the internet’s early development and the structures
of communication that would take us to today’s tipping point of
trans visibility politics. Through a history of how trans people
online exploited different digital infrastructures in the early
days of the internet to build a community, The Two Revolutions
tells a crucial part of trans history itself.

As developing societies emerge from legacies of conflict and
authoritarianism, they are frequently beset by poverty, inequality,
weak institutions, broken infrastructure, poor governance,
insecurity, and low levels of social capital. These countries also
tend to propagate massive human rights violations, which displace
victims who are marginalized, handicapped, widowed, and
orphaned--in other words, people with strong claims to justice.
Those who work with others to address development and justice
often fail to supply a coherent response to these concerns. The
essays in this volume confront the intricacies--and
interconnectedness--of transitional governance issues head on,
mapping the relationship between two fields that, academically and
in practice, have grown largely in isolation of one another. The
result of a research project conducted by the International Center
for Transitional Justice (ICTJ), this book explains how justice and
recovery can be aligned not only in theory but also in practice,
among both people and governments as they reform.
Design Project Management is a guide to contracting and working
with designers, and managing design projects proactively through to
successful completion. It provides guidance for clients on
simultaneously optimizing the business outcome and the creative
opportunity of a design project by getting the best from a design
project team through leadership, team building, mutual
understanding and good communication. It also gives professional
guidance to design and architecture students, and can help design
consultants to ensure that they and their clients are doing
everything right. Griff Boyle takes you through the whole design
project from setting business objectives and design parameters,
preparation of briefing documentation, shortlisting design
consultants and evaluating concept design proposals and fees, to
preparing forms of appointment and assembling in-house and
'external' project teams. The author explains how best to establish
and meet project objectives, select works contractors and
sub-contractors, and administer tenders and contracts. Advice on
balancing and monitoring costs and resources, progress and
financial reporting, and change control mechanisms is also given.
To highlight typical problems and their solutions the author quotes
case study examples from interiors, exhibition, refurbishment and
multidisciplinary projects. Public and private sector managers
involved in building services, retail, leisure, exhibition and
office schemes will find this book saves them time and money,
whether or not they have an in-house design team.
