This book brings together the voices of leading English Education
researchers who work to offer views into the changing landscape of
English as a result of the use of digital media in classrooms, out
of school settings, universities and other contexts in which
readers and writers work. But, as in most useful texts, the purpose
is more nuanced and far reaching than simply offering a glimpse
into where we currently find ourselves as a field. In sum, the
collection brings together and interweaves what we are coming to
know and understand about teaching English within a shifting
digital landscape as well as the implications for teacher education
and the discipline of English Education specifically. The intended
audience for this particular book is English educators, doctoral
candidates in the field of English education, researchers and
scholars in the field, and English language arts teachers -
especially those interested in the impact digital technologies can
have in our field.
The flipped classroom method, particularly when used with digital
video, has recently attracted many supporters within the education
field. Now more than ever, language arts educators can benefit
tremendously from incorporating flipped classroom techniques into
their curriculum. Applying the Flipped Classroom Model to English
Language Arts Education provides a comprehensive examination of the
latest strategies for incorporating the flipped classroom technique
into English language courses. Highlighting innovative practices
and applications in many areas, such as curriculum development,
digital tools, and instructional design, this book is an ideal
reference source for academicians, educators, students,
practitioners, and researchers who are interested in the
advancement of the flipped classroom model in curriculums.
This volume presents interdisciplinary, intercultural, and
interreligious approaches exploring a pneumatological theology in
its broadest sense, especially in attempting to conceive of a
spirit-filled world. The authors seek to discern the spiritual
dimensions in the wider domains of the history, culture, the polis,
the cosmos, sciences, and religions. The essays are driven by an
intuition: that pneumatological sensibilities, categories, and
insights can both inform the construction of a more robust doctrine
of the person and work of the Holy Spirit in the world and enable
the appreciation that we inhabit what can rightly be called a
Spirit- and spirit-filled world.
Engaging in action is at the heart of our most meaningful
experiences. And given the fast-paced, goal-driven nature of modern
society, engagement in action is also central to how we perceive
ourselves. Action has traditionally been viewed as an end product
of the counseling process, but now a bold new redefinition makes
counseling not only a driver of action, but an action in itself.
Counseling and Action couples a timely update on the multiple roles
of action in counseling with an action-based framework for
enhancing progress between client and professional. Grounded in the
core concepts of contextual action theory as well as key aspects of
counseling (e.g., identity, intentionality, emotion), the book
explicates an approach that is responsive to client complexities
and the larger social conditions that frame them. Expert-penned
chapters apply theory to practice, illustrating levels of
engagement in action as counselor and client negotiate goals and
work toward their realization. And an especially useful section
offers guidelines for intervening with specific populations and
addressing particular issues. Among the topics covered: Designing
projects for career construction. Agentic action in context.
Counseling intentional addiction recovery grounded in relationships
and social meaning. The action of mindfulness in counseling. A
contextual action theory perspective on self-efficacy in individual
counseling. Counseling processes and procedures through the lens of
contextual action theory. With its forceful argument for a quantum
leap in both theory and practice, Counseling and Action is
transformative reading for professionals, educators, and graduate
students in social work, psychotherapy, psychology, and counseling.
The global technological marketplace has brought with it the need
to address international and local target audiences. To remain
competitive, companies have begun to design ICTs with a focus on
generic and specialized users and learners.""Instructional Design
Frameworks and Intercultural Models"" meets the needs of
practitioners and researchers by providing frameworks for
integrating culture into design. This book offers practical
applications for the construction of user interfaces, products,
services, and other online environments useful in the development
of culture-based designs.
While there are a growing number of researchers who are exploring
the political and social aspects of the global Renewal movement,

two-thirds world.
A journalist on the Japan Chronicle for eleven years, the author
collected in this volume the most significant current events for
discussion. They include the financial crisis of 1927, hostilities
with China and in particular Manchuria, Japan's booming
manufacturing industry, Japanese nationalism, Japan's new empire
and its place within the Far East and East Asia. Written from a
Western perspective, the volume nonetheless presents a balanced
view of Japan and its behaviour which only close observation and
dealings with the Japanese people could make possible.
A journalist on the Japan Chronicle for eleven years this volume
examines the history, economy, politics and society of Japan from
just before the First World War until 1926. Japan's relations with
the West, as well as with Russia and China are also discussed.
This progressive reference redefines qualitative research as a
crucial component of evidence-based practice and assesses its
current and future impact on healthcare. Its introductory section
explains the value of sociocultural context in case
conceptualization, and ways this evidence can be integrated with
quantitative findings to inform and transform practice. The bulk of
the book's chapters review qualitative research in diverse areas,
including pain, trauma, heart disease, COPD, and disabling
conditions, and examine ways of effectively evaluating and applying
qualitative data. This seismic shift in perception moves the
healing professions away from traditional one-size-fits-all
thinking and toward responsive, patient-centered care. Among the
topics in the Handbook: *Examining qualitative alternatives to
categorical representation. *The World Health Organization model of
health: what evidence is needed? *Qualitative research in mental
health and mental illness. *Qualitative evidence in pediatrics.
*The contribution of qualitative research to medication adherence.
*Qualitative evidence in health policy analysis. The Handbook of
Qualitative Health Research for Evidence-Based Practice offers
health and clinical psychologists, rehabilitation specialists,
occupational and physical therapists, nurses, family physicians and
other primary care providers new ways for understanding patients'
health-related experiences and opens up new ways for developing
interventions intended to improve health outcomes.
Human Specialization in Design and Technology explores emerging
trends in learning and training-standardization, personalization,
customization, and specialization-with a unique focus on
innovations specific to human needs and conditions. Analyzing
evidence from current academic research as well as the popular
press, this concise volume defines and examines the trajectory of
instructional design and technologies toward more human-centered
and specialized products, services, processes, environments, and
systems. Examples from education, healthcare, business, and other
sectors offer real-world demonstrations for scholars and graduate
students of educational technology, instructional design, and
business development. The book features insights into the future of
professors, public schools, equity and access, extended
technologies, open educational resources, and more, concluding with
a set of concrete solutions.
This book explores what is known about healthy living among older
women, emphasizing overcoming illness and adversity. Women and
Healthy Aging focuses on common age-related changes and illnesses
that frequently occur among women in the later years. It describes
these diseases and changes, provides treatment options, highlights
preventative measures, and offers suggestions for continued
productive living as women age. Since some of the barriers to
effective diagnoses, treatments, and implementation of productive
living strategies are institutional, two chapters explore public
health policies which affect older women and discrimination against
older women in health care. This informative book assists health
care professionals in the provision of services to older women,
helping these professionals become catalysts for enabling older
women to "overcome adversity" and continue to lead healthy,
productive lives.Many of the most common diseases and age-related
changes that affect older women are not "curable." In a society
which stresses "cure" as the appropriate role for health care
professionals, what are these professionals to do with the legions
of older women for whom "cures" may not be possible? How can they
assist older women in preventing or slowing the occurrences of
diseases and age-related changes? When prevention or cure is not
possible, how can they assist older women in living productive,
meaningful lives?By addressing specific conditions and diseases,
Women and Healthy Aging gives readers focused information on
current treatment options, preventative strategies, and suggestions
for productive living which are disease- or condition-specific and
target older women. Some of the topics covered include menopause,
osteoporosis, arthritis, diabetes, heart disease, cancer,
Alzheimer's disease, and sensory loss. Practitioners, educators,
and students in the fields of nursing, social work, physical
therapy, occupational therapy, gerontology, human services, and
medicine will find this book an illuminating source of valuable
information and insights into the aging process for women.
This work examines class and its representation in Victorian
literature, focusing on the emergence of the lower middle class and
middle class responses to it. The author analyzes portraits of
white collar workers, both men and women, who laboured under
disparaging misperceptions of their values, abilities, and cultural
significance, and shows how these misperceptions were both
formulated and resisted. The analysis includes canonical texts like
Dickens's "Little Dorrit" and Gissing's "The Odd Women" as well as
less well known works by Dinah Mulock Craik, Margaret Oliphant, Amy
Levy, Grant Allen, H.G. Wells, Arnold Bennett, and May Sinclair.

American space capsule carrying a nuclear warhead. In between
visits to the geisha house and flights in his Little Nellie, 007
manages to track down SPECTRE's secret base and its evil mastermind
Blofeld (Donald Pleasence). Will he be able to stop Blofeld's evil
plans or is this really the end of Bond and the world as we know
it? After this fifth entry in the series, Connery took a break from
the title role, only to return in 'Diamonds Are Forever' (1971).
