For affectionate families everywhere comes this engaging reference
volume featuring 25 kinds of hugs. From the more traditional to the
all-out risky, this collection runs a creatively wide gamut of ways
to embrace... and by doing so, brings comfort to the forefront of
conversation. Every hug was field-tested by the author and his
sons, and titled for practicality and kicks. The Quentin
Blake-esque drawings are rendered with graceful accuracy and joy by
artist Elizabeth Lilly. The pure physicality of being a child –
or being a parent – is documented with wit and style for both to
enjoy.
This edited volume examines aspects of teaching and learning in
situations where community or ethnic division may impact negatively
on classroom experience and behaviour in tertiary education. The
book considers cases from four locations where marked divisions in
the wider society exert a continuing influence on the student body:
Northern Ireland, England, France and the United States of America.
All of these countries share certain underlying principles of
governance and freedom as well as historical interconnections, but
have within them particular groups characterized by various levels
of separation and distrust. The sociohistorical context relevant to
each case is outlined, followed by a discussion of the attitudes,
opinions and reactions of the learners concerned. The volume
concludes with a consideration of pedagogical approaches that may
help to bridge difference and foster a more positive atmosphere.
Although this study focuses on particular community environments,
the techniques highlighted by contributors may be useful in any
classroom setting where a heterogeneous mix of individuals has the
potential to lead to dissension and conflict.
