This book presents ground-breaking research on the ways the Arts
fosters motivation and engagement in both academic and non-academic
domains. It reports on mixed method, international research that
investigated how the Arts make a difference in the lives of young
people. Drawing on the findings of a longitudinal quantitative
study led by the internationally renowned educational psychologist
Andrew Martin, the book examines the impact of arts involvement in
the academic outcomes of 643 students and reports on the in-depth
qualitative research that investigates what constitutes
best-practice in learning and teaching in the Arts. The book also
examines drama, dance, music, visual arts and film classrooms to
construct an understanding of quality pedagogy in these classrooms.
With its evidence-based but highly accessible approach, this book
will be directly and immediately relevant to those interested in
the Arts as a force for change in schooling. How Arts Education
Makes a Difference discusses: The Arts Education, Motivation,
Engagement and Achievement Research Visual Arts, Drama and Music in
Classrooms Technology-mediated Arts Engagement International
Perspectives on Arts and Cultural Policies in Education This book
is a timely collation of research and experiential findings which
support the need to promote arts education in schools worldwide. It
will be particularly useful for educationists, researchers in
education and arts advocates.
This edition collection showcases the increasing intersections
between drama and applied theatre, education, innovation and
technology. It tunes in to the continuing conversation that has
been a persistent if not prominent feature of our drama education
since the advent of accessible computer based technologies. The
chapters in this book consider how technology can be used as a
potent tool in drama learning and how the learning is changing the
technologies and in turn how learning is transforming the
technology. This collection includes contributions from leading
scholars in the field on a range of topics including digital
storytelling and identity formation, applied drama and
micro-blogging and the use of Second Life in drama learning. The
chapters provide a potent collection for researchers and educators
considering the role of technology in drama education spaces. This
book was originally published as a special issue of RiDE: The
Journal of Applied Theatre and Performance.
Now you can enjoy the soul-warming aromas and beguiling flavors of
homemade sourdough with much less fuss and with a whole lot less
time in the kitchen. In Sourdough Breads from the Bread Machine,
best-selling bread-machine author Michelle Anderson turns her
expert hand to sourdough breads and shows that these supposedly
difficult breads really can be very easy to make, if you have a
bread machine in your kitchen arsenal. She does so by way of
delivering 100 delectable and foolproof recipes, from basic loaves
for the weekday whirl to rustic artisan breads like ciabatta,
focaccia, brioche, and baguettes, along with nut breads, cheese
breads, herb breads, and sweet dessert breads like babka and
stollen. The recipes include: Light Rye Sourdough Dates and Maple
Bread San Francisco Sourdough Blue Cheese-Pecan Sourdough
Multigrain Sourdough Sourdough Cinnamon Rolls You will learn how to
acquire, work with, and store a good sourdough starter. You will
find family-recipes for lunchbox sandwiches and elegant breads to
serve when you have company. You will find healthy breads made with
whole grains and with nutritious filings like nuts, yogurt,
veggies, and fruit. Above all, you will find breads that are a
delight to eat. And you probably know that working with sourdough
always yields lots of extra dough, called "discard." The book has a
special chapter that reveals all the glorious things you can make
with sourdough discard, from Sourdough Brownies and Sourdough
Blueberry Muffins to Sourdough Pancakes, Sourdough Lemon Scones,
and even Sourdough Chocolate Chip Cookies. This is a book that
makes sourdough easier than you ever thought-and better tasting
than ever.

Digital video and film technologies are transforming classrooms
across the world. Teaching the Screen looks beyond the buttons and
knobs to explore ways of teaching video and film effectively in
secondary classrooms. More and more young people have access to
low-cost filming and editing technologies - mobile phones,
computers, portable digital - which is changing the experience of
digital storytelling. Approaches to classroom teaching and learning
need to change too. The authors offer a new pedagogy of film
storytelling that draws on research from effective classroom film
learning practice. They contextualise screen learning within
different educational settings, discuss how teachers can highlight
aesthetics in film appreciation and filmmaking, and explore the
impact of different technologies. Teaching the Screen is essential
reading for educators who want to create engaging learning and
teaching activities with screen technologies in secondary English
and other subject areas. 'A well balanced and comprehensive account
of the issues in filmmaking likely to be encountered by English
teachers. It lifts engagement beyond the usual procedural knowledge
level, to one of active critique.' - Sue Brindley, University of
Cambridge 'This book has bridged the theoretical and practical
without compromising either. It offers a thorough systematic
account of theoretical issues and practical techniques in teaching
film appreciation and filmmaking.' - Associate Professor George
Belliveau, University of British Columbia

The new field of machine ethics is concerned with giving machines
ethical principles, or a procedure for discovering a way to resolve
the ethical dilemmas they might encounter, enabling them to
function in an ethically responsible manner through their own
ethical decision making. Developing ethics for machines, in
contrast to developing ethics for human beings who use machines, is
by its nature an interdisciplinary endeavor. The essays in this
volume represent the first steps by philosophers and artificial
intelligence researchers toward explaining why it is necessary to
add an ethical dimension to machines that function autonomously,
what is required in order to add this dimension, philosophical and
practical challenges to the machine ethics project, various
approaches that could be considered in attempting to add an ethical
dimension to machines, work that has been done to date in
implementing these approaches, and visions of the future of machine
ethics research.
Political and Economic Foundations in Global Studies provides an
innovative introductory examination of the global forces shaping
the world today, seen through political and economic lenses. Along
with its companion, Social and Cultural Foundations in Global
Studies, the book exposes students to the historical contours of,
and the key concepts and processes that underlie, the
interconnections among individuals, societies, organizations, and
governments. As in the rest of Routledge's Global Studies series,
the Foundations books employ a two-part strategy: conceptual
underpinnings explored in the first part are enlivened by case
studies in the second. Special features magnify the utility of the
text: * Text boxes are employed to expand and emphasize specific
material: they are used to open up the coverage to related topics
or to call attention to especially critical material, such as
historical milestones or key vocabulary. * Resource boxes offer
links that point readers to sources-mostly online-on the topics
discussed and establish a rich archive of additional material for
readers to draw on. * At the same time, back-of-chapter References
and Further Research lists help students to trace the material used
by authors or to follow more general leads relating to the topics
covered in the chapters. * Images highlight specific details of the
case studies, helping to bring the subjects alive.

This book brings together in one volume the four studies on British population history already published in the series New Studies in Economic and Social History, and adds to them a new essay on British population in the twentieth century. The book provides the only single volume survey of trends in English population history from the medieval period to the present day. The studies are written in a nontechnical style, and are aimed at students and teachers who wish to familiarize themselves with the main issues and debates. Full bibliographies for further study are included.
This book brings together in one volume the four studies on British
population history already published in the series New Studies in
Economic and Social History, and adds to them a new essay on
British population in the twentieth century. Between them, the
authors survey the trends and debates in British population history
from 1348 to 1991. Research over the past twenty-five years has
transformed our understanding of how population has grown and
declined, of why the numbers of births, deaths, marriages and
migrants have risen and fallen, and thrown much new light on the
economic and social impact of these changes. The studies in this
book supply introductions to these problems for readers who are not
themselves demographers but who, as students, teachers, or
non-specialist historians and social scientists, want to know more
about what happened and what are the main topics of current debate.
Full bibliographies for further study are included.
This book is a short but comprehensive survey of the work on the history of the family in Western Europe and North America, for the period 1500-1914. Updated to include material published between 1980 and 1994, it aims to provide students of family history with a structured and balanced critique of and guide to the huge literature on the subject. Professor Anderson focuses particularly on the strengths and limitations of different approaches that have been adopted in the discipline, and seeks connections among themes, countries and periods.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a biological mechanism whereby a
micro-organism evolves over time to develop the ability to become
resistant to antimicrobial therapies such as antibiotics. The
drivers of and potential solutions to AMR are complex, often
spanning multiple sectors. The internationally recognised response
to AMR advocates for a 'One Health' approach, which requires
policies to be developed and implemented across human, animal, and
environmental health. To date, misaligned economic incentives have
slowed the development of novel antimicrobials and limited efforts
to reduce antimicrobial usage. However, the research which
underpins the variety of policy options to tackle AMR is rapidly
evolving across multiple disciplines such as human medicine,
veterinary medicine, agricultural sciences, epidemiology,
economics, sociology and psychology. By bringing together in one
place the latest evidence and analysing the different facets of the
complex problem of tackling AMR, this book offers an accessible
summary for policy-makers, academics and students on the big
questions around AMR policy. This title is available as Open Access
on Cambridge Core.
