Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
Responding to disruptive or troubled pupils with emotional and
behavioural difficulties (EBD) remains a highly topical issue. The
challenges these children present relate to wider issues of
continuing political concern: the perceived declining discipline in
schools; school and social exclusion; the limits to inclusion for
children with special needs; increasing mental health difficulties
in children; youth crime and parenting skills. It s little wonder
that the 'EBD' (often known as BESD or SEBD ) category is one of
the most common forms of SEN around the world.
This topical and exhaustively-researched Companion examines the
difficulties of defining EBD, and the dangers of allocating this
imprecise label to children. Bringing together the work of
contributors from fifteen countries and across four continents,
this book features the research of leading experts in the global
field of EBD, who discuss and debate educators key concerns by:
- looking at the overlaps between EBD, ADHD and mental health
difficulties;
- outlining the types of appropriate schooling for children with
EBD;
- urging readers to look beyond pupils challenging behaviour in
order to understand and respond to the social, biological and
psychological causation;
- considering the key areas of assessment, whole-school and
targeted approaches that help pupils with EBD in mainstream and in
special settings;
- outlining helpful work with families, the crucial contribution
of effective multi-agency working and the importance of supporting
and developing teachers who work with challenging pupils.
Containing contrasting views on controversial topics, this
Companion s approachable style makes it an essential reference book
for academics, policy makers, practitioners, educators and students
who are working towards a higher degree in education.
This classic text retains the superb scholarship of the first
edition in a thoroughly revised and accessibly written new edition.
With both new and updated essays by distinguished American and
Canadian authors, the book provides a comprehensive historical
overview of the formation and growth of North American regions from
European exploration and colonization to the second half of the
twentieth century. Collectively the contributors explore the key
themes of acquisition of geographical knowledge, cultural transfer
and acculturation, frontier expansion, spatial organization of
society, resource exploitation, regional and national integration,
and landscape change. With six new chapters, redrawn maps, a new
introduction that explores scholarly trends in historical geography
since publication of the first edition, and a new final chapter
guiding students to the basic sources for historical geographic
enquiry, North America will be an indispensable text in historical
geography courses.

Drawing upon research and practice in a number of countries, the
contributors to this volume describe advances in meeting the needs
of children and young people with emotional and behavioural
difficulties. Following the Salamanca agreement and other
international treaties, sovereign states are pursuing, at different
rates, a more inclusive educational agenda. There is concern for
those pupils who are excluded and in danger of becoming
increasingly marginalized in their societies as their engagement in
education decreases. Foremost amongst these pupils are those with
emotional and behavioural difficulties. The issues surrounding
their inclusion in education, particularly mainstream education,
are explored, along with the factors that contribute to successful
interventions. Contributors from Spain, Norway, Australia, Canada,
Finland and the United Kingdom describe ways of meeting their
emotional and behavioural needs within education. The authors raise
factors, which could contribute towards greater inclusive practice.
Canada is a bounded land - a nation situated between rock and cold
to the north and a border to the south. Cole Harris traces how
society was reorganized - for Indigenous and non-Indigenous people
alike - when Europeans resettled this distinctive land. Through a
series of vignettes that focus on people's experiences on the
ground, he exposes the underlying architecture of colonialism, from
first contacts, to the immigrant experience in early Canada, to the
dispossession of First Nations. In the process, he unearths fresh
insights on the influence of Indigenous peoples and argues that
Canada's boundedness is ultimately drawing it toward its Indigenous
roots.
