This edited volume provides the follow up to Erling et al.ās
(2021) Multilingual Learning and Language Supportive Pedagogies in
Sub-Saharan Africa. The strategies put forward in Volume 1 included
multilingual pedagogies that allow students to draw on their full
linguistic repertoires, translanguaging and other language
supportive pedagogies. While there is great traction in the
pedagogical strategies proposed in Volume 1, limited progress has
been made in terms of multilingual education in SSA. Thus, the main
focus of this follow-up volume is to explore the question of why
former colonial languages and monolingual approaches continue to be
used as the dominant languages of education, even when we have
multilingual pedagogies and materials that could and do work and
despite substantial evidence that learners have difficulties when
taught in a language they do not understand. This book offers
perspectives to answer this question through focusing on the
internal and external pressures which impact the capacity for
implementing multilingual strategies in educational contexts at
regional, national, and community levels. Chapters provide insights
into how to better understand and work within these contemporary
constraints and challenge dominant monoglossic discourses which
inhibit the implementation of multilingual education in SSA. The
volume focuses on three main areas which have proven to be
stumbling blocks to the effective implementation of multilingual
education to date, namely: Assessment, Ideology and Policy. An
insightful collection that will be of great interest to academics,
researchers, and practitioners in the fields of language education,
language-in-education policy and educational assessments in the
wide range of multilingual contexts in Africa.

In this book, Feliciano de Sa Guimaraes offers an original
application of Role Theory. He proposes a theory of master role
transitions to explain how small powers can change regional powers'
master roles without changing the regional material power
distribution. Master role transition is the replacement of an
active dominant master role by a dormant or inactive role located
within one's role repertoire. Guimaraes argues that only a
combination of four necessary conditions can produce a full master
role transition: asymmetrical material interdependence,
altercasting, domestic contestation and regional contestation. In
each one of these conditions, a small power uses material and
ideational tools to promote a master role transition within the
regional power role repertoire. To test his model, Guimaraes turns
to five case studies in Latin America, Southern Africa and South
Asia: the 2006-2007 Bolivia-Brazil gas crisis, the 2008-2009
Paraguay-Brazil Itaipu Dam crisis, the 2008-2009 Ecuador-Brazil
Odebrecht crisis, the 1998 South Africa-Lesotho military
intervention crisis and the 1996India-Bangladesh Ganges water
crisis. A Theory of Master Role Transition is an excellent resource
for those studying both theory and method in International
Relations and foreign policy analysis.

This volume considers a range of ways in which bilingual programs
can make a contribution to aspects of human and economic
development in the global South. The authors examine the
consequences of different policies, programs, and pedagogies for
learners and local communities through recent ethnographic research
on these topics. The revitalization of minority languages and local
cultural practices, management of linguistic and cultural
diversity, and promotion of equal opportunities (both social and
economic) are all explored in this light.
It's Sunday-ice cream day! But sometimes the ice cream truck turns
down a different street. Can Jerron, A.J., and Cha crack the ice
cream man's code? They want him to come their way! This story
explores the Makers theme of Coding and includes explanatory
sidebars and a computer coding-related activity for young makers to
try themselves! Coding is the process of writing instructions for a
computer in a way-or code-that it understands. A computer reads the
code and follows the coder's instructions. Tying into the popular
Makers Movement, Makers Make It Work is a series of fun
easy-to-read stories that focus on problem-solving and hands-on
action! This series was specifically developed to support STEAM
(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) learning. Each
book is inspired by a specific topic of the Makers Movement-from
robots, to woodworking, to 3D printing and baking. *Bonus Activity
in the Book: Use coding logic to get a friend from one point to
another. All you need is paper in three different colors. Arrange
the papers on the ground to guide your friends. If they follow the
code, then they will reach the red paper at the end.

diverse ageing population, we need to expand our understanding of
how social divisions intersect to affect outcomes in later life.
This edited collection examines ageing, gender, and sexualities
from multidisciplinary and geographically diverse perspectives and
looks at how these factors combine with other social divisions to
affect experiences of ageing. It draws on theory and empirical data
to provide both conceptual knowledge and clear 'real-world'
illustrations. The book includes section introductions to guide the
reader through the debates and ideas and a glossary offering clear
definitions of key terms and concepts.

This book is an introduction to the quantum theory of materials and
first-principles computational materials modelling. It explains how
to use density functional theory as a practical tool for
calculating the properties of materials without using any empirical
parameters. The structural, mechanical, optical, electrical, and
magnetic properties of materials are described within a single
unified conceptual framework, rooted in the Schroedinger equation
of quantum mechanics, and powered by density functional theory.
This book is intended for senior undergraduate and first-year
graduate students in materials science, physics, chemistry, and
engineering who are approaching for the first time the study of
materials at the atomic scale. The inspiring principle of the book
is borrowed from one of the slogans of the Perl programming
language, 'Easy things should be easy and hard things should be
possible'. Following this philosophy, emphasis is placed on the
unifying concepts, and on the frequent use of simple heuristic
arguments to build on one's own intuition. The presentation style
is somewhat cross disciplinary; an attempt is made to seamlessly
combine materials science, quantum mechanics, electrodynamics, and
numerical analysis, without using a compartmentalized approach.
Each chapter is accompanied by an extensive set of references to
the original scientific literature and by exercises where all key
steps and final results are indicated in order to facilitate
learning. This book can be used either as a complement to the
quantum theory of materials, or as a primer in modern techniques of
computational materials modelling using density functional theory.
Innovation is increasingly recognized as a key factor in
environmental protection and balanced sustainable development
within the forestry sector.This volume provides a comprehensive
theoretical foundation for the analysis of innovation processes and
policies in a traditional, rural sector as well as presenting
empirical analyses of innovation processes from major innovation
areas. Territorial services of the forest sector are examined,
including various types of forest ecosystem services such as carbon
sequestration or recreation and wood value chains, including timber
frame construction and bioenergy.
'I have always been drawn to 'odd' women. I feel an affinity, a
resonance with women who don't fit the norm - perhaps recognising
aspects of myself - and this is reflected in my photographic work.'
Sheba Chhachhi is a photographer, women's rights activist and an
installation artist. Based in New Delhi, she has exhibited her
works widely in India and internationally, transforming pressing
contemporary issues into compelling, evocative works of art. The
powerful photographs reproduced here are selected from three major
series, co-curated with her subjects . Seven Lives and a Dream
spans decades of engagement with, and participation in, the
feminist movement. Initiation Chronicle (from Ganga's Daughters)
reveals the lives of a group of women sadhus (religious
renunciates): each woman in the series subverts conventional
assumptions about gender, sexuality, domesticity and female piety.
In the 1990s, Chhachhi was one of the first female photographers to
photograph women in conflict-ridden Kashmir, resulting in The Green
of the Valley is Khaki. Interweaving the mythic and the social, her
work, as she puts it, 'is really about opening up a conversation,
in the process of creating as well as sharing, to invite people to
think about personal, social and public concerns, primarily around
feminism and ecology.' The Tate Photography Series is a celebration
of international photography in the Tate collection and an
introduction to some of the greatest photographers at work today.
With the direct involvement of living photographers in
collaboration with photography curators, these books showcase the
best and most notable images taken across the globe, from city
streets to seashores, moving across landscapes and through
subcultures, in a visual travelogue of our world. Each book
contains a new conversation between curator and photographer and is
prefaced with a short introduction. The theme for the first four
titles is Community and Solidarity. Also available in this series
are: Sirkka-Liisa Konttinen (978-1-84976-800-9) Sabelo Mlangeni
(978-1-84976-802-3) Liz Johnson Artur (978-1-84976-801-6)
