Foregrounding diverse lived experiences and non-dominant forms of
knowledge, this edited volume showcases ways in which narrating and
sharing stories of pain and suffering can be engaged as critical
pedagogy to challenge oppression and inequity in educational
contexts. The volume illustrates the need to consider both the act
of narrating and the experience of bearing witness to narration to
harness the full transformative potentials of counternarratives in
disrupting oppressive practices. Chapters are divided into three
parts - "Telling and Reliving Trauma as Pedagogy," "Pedagogies of
Overcoming Silence," and "Forgetting as Pedagogy" - illustrating a
range of relational pedagogical and methodological approaches,
including journaling, poetry, and arts-based narrative inquiry. The
authors make the argument that the language of pain and suffering
is universal, hence its potential as critical pedagogy for
transformative and therapeutic teaching and learning. Readers are
encouraged to reflect on their own lived experiences to
constructively engage with their pain, suffering, and trauma.
Focusing on trauma-informed non-hegemonic storytelling and
transformative pedagogies, this volume will be of interest to
students, faculty, scholars, and community members with an interest
in advancing anti-oppressive and social justice education.
This title was first published in 2002: A detailed and critical
analysis of the various legal problems that arise when banks are in
serious financial difficulty, Banks in Crisis offers an invaluable,
international perspective on the concept and causes of bank
failure. It takes an authoritative and much-needed look at a number
of key issues including: - Effective bank regulation as an
instrument in the possible prevention of banking crises, with
particular reference to the role of the Financial Services
Authority in the UK, and the impact of the Financial Services and
Markets Act 2000 - The role of the Bank of England in the new
regulatory landscape, with particular reference to its function as
lender of last resort - The legal controls on those involved in the
management of banks - Insolvency procedures and bank liquidation -
The use of depositor protection schemes. By drawing conclusions and
weighing up the methods available to promote stability, prevent
failure and promote rescues where appropriate, Banks in Crisis is
an essential read and a welcome addition to this crucial area of
research.

This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the
2015 special sessions of the 13th International Conference on
Practical Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems, held at
University of Salamanca, Spain, at 3rd-5th June, 2015: Agents
Behaviours and Artificial Markets (ABAM); Agents and Mobile Devices
(AM); Multi-Agent Systems and Ambient Intelligence (MASMAI); Web
Mining and Recommender systems (WebMiRes); Learning, Agents and
Formal Languages (LAFLang); Agent-based Modeling of Sustainable
Behavior and Green Economies (AMSBGE); Emotional Software Agents
(SSESA) and Intelligent Educational Systems (SSIES). The volume
also includes the paper accepted for the Doctoral Consortium in
PAAMS 2015. PAAMS, the International Conference on Practical
Applications of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems is an evolution of
the International Workshop on Practical Applications of Agents and
Multi-Agent Systems. PAAMS is an international yearly tribune to
present, to discuss and to disseminate the latest developments and
the most important outcomes related to real-world applications. It
provides a unique opportunity to bring multi-disciplinary experts,
academics and practitioners together to exchange their experience
in the development of Agents and Multi-Agent Systems.

This volume presents the papers that have been accepted for the
2014 special sessions: Agents Behaviours and Artificial Markets
(ABAM), Agents and Mobile Devices (AM), Bio-Inspired and
Multi-Agents Systems: Applications to Languages (Bio MAS),
Multi-Agent Systems and Ambient Intelligence (MASMAI),
Self-Explaining Agents (SEA), Web Mining and Recommender systems
(Web MiRes) and Intelligent Educational Systems (SSIES).
Research on Agents and Multi-agent Systems has matured during
the last decade and many effective applications of this technology
are now deployed. PAAMS provides an international forum to presents
and discuss the latest scientific developments and their effective
applications, to assess the impact of the approach, and to
facilitate technology transfer. PAAMS started as a local
initiative, but since grown to become the international yearly
platform to present, to discuss, and to disseminate the latest
developments and the most important outcomes related to real-world
applications. It provides a unique opportunity to bring
multi-disciplinary experts, academics and practitioners together to
Exchange their experience in the development and deployment of
Agents and Multi-agents systems. PAAMS intends to bring together
researchers and developers from industry and the academic world to
report on the latest scientific and technical advances on the
application of multi-agent systems, to discuss and debate the major
issues, and to showcase the latest systems using agent based
technology. It will promote a forum for discussion on how agent
based techniques, methods and tools help system designers to
accomplish the mapping between available agent technology and
application needs. Other stakeholders should be rewarded with a
better understanding of the potential and challenges of the
agent-oriented approach.
This edition of PAAMS special sessions is organized by the
Bioinformatics, Intelligent System and Educational Technology
Research Group (http: //bisite.usal.es) of the University of
Salamanca. The present edition was held in Salamanca, Spain, from
22nd to 24th May 2013.

Why do smart and experienced leaders make flawed, even
catastrophic, decisions? Why do people keep believing they have
made the right choice, even with the disastrous result staring them
in the face? And how can you be sure you're making the right
decision--without the benefit of hindsight? Sydney Finkelstein, Jo
Whitehead, and Andrew Campbell show how the usually beneficial
processes of the human mind can become traps when we face big
decisions. The authors show how the shortcuts our brains have
learned to take over millennia of evolution can derail our decision
making. Think Again offers a powerful model for making better
decisions, describing the key red flags to watch for and detailing
the decision-making safeguards we need. Using examples from
business, politics, and history, Think Again deconstructs bad
decisions, as they unfolded in real time, to show how you can avoid
the same fate.
A study of the development of English opinion on the American Civil
War, paying special attention to the issues of slavery, neutral
rights, democracy, republicanism, trade and propaganda - a new
interpretation. At the end of the American Civil War, both North
and South condemned Britain for allegedly sympathising with the
other side. Yet after the conflict, a traditional interpretation of
the subject arose which divided English sentimentbetween
progressivism siding with the Union and conservatism supporting the
Confederacy. Despite historians subsequently questioning whether
English opinion can be so easily divided, challenging certain
aspects and arguments of this version of events, the traditional
interpretation has persevered and remains the dominant view of the
subject. This work posits that English public and political opinion
was not, in fact, split between two such opposing camps- rather,
that most in England were suspicious of both sides in the conflict,
and even those who did take sides did not consist largely of any
one particular social or political group. Covering the period from
1861 to 1865,Campbell traces the development of English opinion on
the American Civil War, looking particularly at reaction to issues
of slavery, neutral rights, democracy, republicanism, American
expansionism,trade and propaganda. In so doing he offers a new
interpretation of English attitudes towards the American Civil War.
