Current teaching, learning and assessment practices can lead
students to believe that courses within a programme are
self-sufficient and separate. Integrative Learning explores this
issue, and considers how intentional learning helps students become
integrative thinkers who can see connections in seemingly disparate
information, and draw on a wide range of knowledge to make
decisions. Written by international contributors who engaged
reflectively with their teaching and their students' learning, the
book seeks to develop a shared language of integrative learning,
encouraging students to adapt skills learned in one situation to
problems encountered in another, and make autonomous connections
across courses, between experiences, and throughout their lives.
More informed teachers can help students develop the necessary
attributes for intentional learning, which include having a sense
of purpose, fitting fragmentary information into a 'learning
framework', understanding something of their own learning
processes, asking probing questions, reflecting on their own
choices, and knowing when to ask for help. Integrative Learning
draws on international research and vast studies to provide the
reader with the resources to ensure access to a unified learning
experience. The book discusses conceptual and technical tools
necessary for facilitating integrative learning across a range of
disciplines as well as providing learning pedagogies and considers
integrative learning in the context of the relevance of higher
education in the complexity and uncertainty of the 21st century. It
will appeal to academics and researchers in the field of higher
education, as well as those generating higher education
curriculums.
'A gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal and bloody vengeance'
John Gwynne on The Pariah Times have changed for Alwyn Scribe. Once
an outlaw, he's now a spymaster and sworn protector of Lady Evadine
Courlain, whose visions of a demonic apocalypse have earned her the
fanatical devotion of the faithful. Yet Evadine's growing fame has
put her at odds with both Crown and Covenant. As trouble brews in
the kingdom, both seek to exploit her position for their own ends.
Sent to the Duchy of Alundia to put down a rebellion, Alwyn must
rely on old instincts to fight for his new cause. Deadly feuds and
ancient secrets are laid bare as war erupts, a war that will decide
the fate of the Kingdom of Albermaine and, perhaps, prevent the
coming of the prophesied Second Scourge. The Martyr is the sequel
to The Pariah and continues the ruthless and gripping fantasy epic
from New York Times bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold
more than a million copies worldwide. Praise for the series 'The
Pariah is Anthony Ryan at his best. A fast-paced, brutal fantasy
novel with larger-than-life characters and a plot full of intrigue
and suspense' Grimdark Magazine 'Gritty and well-drawn, this makes
a rich treat for George R. R. Martin fans' Publishers Weekly

'A gritty, heart-pounding tale of betrayal and bloody vengeance. I
loved every single word' John Gwynne The Pariah begins a new epic
fantasy series of action, intrigue and magic from Anthony Ryan, a
master storyteller who has taken the fantasy world by storm. Born
into the troubled kingdom of Albermaine, Alwyn Scribe is raised as
an outlaw. Quick of wit and deft with a blade, Alwyn is content
with the freedom of the woods and the comradeship of his fellow
thieves. But an act of betrayal sets him on a new path - one of
blood and vengeance, which eventually leads him to a soldier's life
in the king's army. Fighting under the command of Lady Evadine
Courlain, a noblewoman beset by visions of a demonic apocalypse,
Alwyn must survive war and the deadly intrigues of the nobility if
he hopes to claim his vengeance. But as dark forces, both human and
arcane, gather to oppose Evadine's rise, Alwyn faces a choice: can
he be a warrior, or will he always be an outlaw? 'The Pariah is

Queen of Fire is the spectacular conclusion to the internationally
bestselling Raven's Shadow series - a powerful tale of desperate
battles, deadly politics and epic adventure. EMPIRES WILL FALL
Queen Lyrna has survived the bloody siege of Alltor. Now she must
rally her troops and take back the capital from the Volarian
invaders. But driving her hated enemy out of the Realm will not
satisfy her lust for vengeance - she wants to pursue them across
the ocean and burn their empire to ashes. To do so, she must place
her faith in the Seventh Order: men and women who wield terrible
powers, born of the Dark itself. Vaelin Al Sorna would sacrifice
his life for his queen - and may yet have to. Only by unmasking the
Volarians' mysterious Ally can the tide of war be turned. To this
end, Vaelin must travel deep into the icebound north, in search of
a man who cannot die - and he must do it without the aid of his
blood song, which has fallen ominously silent . . . Praise for

'A master storyteller' - Mark Lawrence We have fought battles that
left more than a hundred corpses on the ground and not a word of it
has ever been set down. The Order fights, but often it fights in
shadow, without glory or reward. We have no banners. Vaelin Al
Sorna is the Sixth Order's newest recruit. Under their brutal
training regime, he learns how to forge a blade, survive the wilds
and kill a man quickly and quietly - all in the name of protecting
the Realm and the Faith. Now his skills will be put to the test.
War is coming. Vaelin must draw upon the very essence of his
strength and cunning if he is to survive the coming conflict. Yet
as the world teeters on the edge of chaos, Vaelin will learn that
the truth can cut deeper than any sword. Blood Song is the epic
first novel in the internationally bestselling Raven's Shadow

The Black Song is the action-packed conclusion to the Raven's Blade
series by Anthony Ryan, which began with The Wolf's Call. The Steel
Horde has laid waste to the Venerable Kingdom, unleashing a storm
of fire and blood. Now the leader of this mighty host - Kehlbrand,
the warlord who thinks himself a god - turns his eyes to the other
merchant kingdoms. No one can stop his divine conquest. No one,
perhaps, except Vaelin Al Sorna. Yet Vaelin is on the run, his own
army in disarray. Worse, the new blood song he has acquired is as
much a curse as a blessing, and seeks to guide him down a path far
darker than he could have imagined . . . Praise for the series
