1. Drawing upon a Horizon2020 project and endorsed by ICOM, this
book brings together innovative, multidisciplinary perspectives on
contemporary museology and participatory museum practice that
contribute to wider debates on museum communities, heritage, and
sustainability. 2. The book will appeal to museologists and museum
practitioners, as well as academics and students working in
heritage studies, cultural studies, memory studies, art history,
gender studies, and sustainable development. 3. This will be the
first international museum studies book to focus on island and
remote communities. It will also be one of a very small (but
growing) number of books to primarily focus on museums in Latin
America and the Caribbean.
The Art and Science of Making Up Your Mind presents basic
decision-making principles and tools to help the reader respond
efficiently and wisely to everyday dilemmas. Although most
decisions are made informally (whether intuitively without
deliberate thought, or based on careful reflection), over the
centuries people have tried to develop systematic, scientific and
structured ways in which to make decisions. Using qualitative
counterparts to quantitative models, Rex Brown takes the reader
through the basics, like 'what is a decision' and then considers a
wide variety of real-life decisions, explaining how the best
judgments can be made using logical principles. Combining multiple
evaluations of the same judgment ("hybrid judgment") and exploring
innovative analytical concepts (such as "ideal judgment"), this
book explores and analyzes the skills needed to master the basics
of non-mathematical decision making, and what should be done, using
real world illustrations of decision methods. The book is an ideal
companion for students of Thinking, Reasoning and Decision-Making,
and also for anyone wanting to understand how to make better
judgments in their everyday lives.

Understanding local knowledge has become a central academic project
among those interested in Africa and developing countries. In South
Africa, land reform is gathering pace and African people hold an
increasing proportion of the livestock in the country. Animal
health has become a central issue for rural development. Yet
African veterinary medical knowledge remains largely unrecorded.
This book seeks to fill that gap. This book captures for the first
time the diversity, as well as the limits, of a major sphere of
local knowledge. Beinart and Brown argue that African approaches to
animal health rest largely in environmental and nutritional
explanations. They explore the widespread use of plants as well as
biomedicines for healing. While rural populations remain concerned
about supernatural threats, and many men think that women can harm
their cattle, the authors challenge current ideas on the
modernisation of witchcraft. They examine more ambient forms of
supernatural danger expressed in little-known concepts such as
mohato and umkhondo. They take the reader into the homesteads and
kraals of rural black South Africans and engage with a key rural
concern - vividly reporting the ideas of livestock owners. This is
groundbreaking research which will have important implications for
analyses of local knowledge more generally as well as effective
state interventions and animal treatments in South Africa.
Contemporary Social Work Practice: Integrating Diversity, Equity,
and Inclusion is designed to educate students about relevant terms
and concepts related to racism, oppression, and cultural humility.
It provides them with the knowledge and guidance they need to
cultivate a social work practice grounded in cultural competency
and social justice. The text provides students with a brief history
of marginalized groups, real-world examples that speak to the need
for culturally responsive practice, and tools for successful
assessment, intervention, and evaluation. Chapters and readings
examine social work pioneers who have fought for inclusion,
critical race theory, America's changing landscape, cultural
humility, and theories of prejudice. Students learn how policy
impacts practice, social class impacts service provision, and
nuances for working with Native Americans, Africans across the
diaspora, Latina/o families, and Asian Americans. The final chapter
provides students with frameworks for social work rooted in social
justice. Self-reflection activities throughout the text help
readers better understand the ways in which their personal
worldview can influence how they engage with others with different
worldviews. An illuminating and essential guide, Contemporary
Social Work Practice is well suited for courses and programs in
social work, especially those with focus on diversity, equity, and
inclusion.
