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

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

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.

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.
The House of the Surgeon represents the first major publication of
an important series of excavations undertaken by the Anglo-American
Project in Pompeii (1994-2006) at the ancient city of Pompeii in a
city block known as Insula VI 1. This is one of the largest, most
comprehensive, and most important sub-surface, pre-79 AD
excavations ever to have been undertaken at Pompeii. The
methodology employed to the systematic examination of an entire
city block, involving extensive artefact and ecofact recovery,
using the latest scientific methods, has generated one of the
single largest bodies of archaeological data ever produced on the
development of ancient Pompeii, from the earliest traces of human
habitation until its destruction. The first major section of this
data is now made available in form of a study of the most famous
and prominent of the houses on the block. The Casa del Chirurgo
(House of the Surgeon) has been one of the most frequently cited
houses in the ancient city since its discovery in 1771. The results
of the exhaustive study of the house within its urban context not
only challenge many of the conclusions of previous research, but
also make it possible at last for this important property to
contribute information to the full history of Pompeii's urban
development, illuminating the chronology of urban change, the
processes involved in ancient domestic construction, aspects of the
ancient environment, and changing socio-political and economic
conditions within Italy throughout the middle to late Republic and
early Empire.

Drama and Digital Arts Cultures is a critical guide to the new
forms of playful exploration, co-creativity, and improvised
performance made possible by digital networked media. Drawing on
examples from games, education, online media, technology-enabled
performance and the creative industries, the book uses the elements
of applied drama to frame our understanding of digital cultures.
Exploring the connected real-world and virtual spaces where young
people are making and sharing digital content, it draws attention
to the fundamental applied drama conventions that infuse and
activate this networked culture. Challenging descriptions of drama
and digital technology as binary opposites, the book maps common
principles and practice grounded in role, embodiment, performance,
play, and identity that are being amplified and enhanced by the
affordances of online media. Drama and Digital Arts Cultures draws
together extensive original research including interviews with game
designers, media producers, educators, artists and makers at the
heart of these new digital cultures. Young people discuss their own
creative practices and products, providing insight into a complex
and evolving world being transformed by digital technologies. A
practical guide to the field, it contains case studies and examples
of the intersections of drama conventions and networked cultures
drawn from the US, Canada, UK, Netherlands, Singapore and
Australia. Written for scholars, educators, students and 'makers'
everywhere, Drama and Digital Arts Cultures provides a clear
understanding of how young people are blending creativity and
learning with the powerful and empowering conventions of drama to
create new forms of multimodal and transmedia storytelling.
