In 1961 the Centre for the Study of the History of Education at Ghent University, Belgium published the first issue of the multilingual journal Paedagogica Historica: International Journal of the History of Education. This book celebrates its fiftieth volume. In fourteen contributions written by different generations of historians of education, it demonstrates that in an era where the history of education at university level is at risk, both the journal and the discipline are pulsing, and alive and kicking. Was the journal a trendsetter or a follower, and which position did it take with respect to the International Standing Conference for the History of Education? These are questions addressed in the first section of this book. In the second section, a number of articles show national and transnational developments of the history of education. In their diversity, they make clear how the national and the transnational together characterize the discipline. They show why journals in this domain should stimulate the development of broader concepts and theories in order to put national and regional cases in a broader scientific context and to make them attractive for international readership. In the last section authors turn their minds to the future of the history of education. They write about the shaping of new trends and about moving beyond borders, focusing on, among other things, the challenge of neurosciences and of digital humanities. This book was originally published as a special issue of Paedagogica Historica.

Popular Education is a concept with many meanings. With the rise of national systems of education at the beginning of the nineteenth-century, it was related to the socially inclusive concept of citizenship coined by privileged members with vested interests in the urban society that could only be achieved by educating the common people, or in other words, the uncontrollable masses that had nothing to lose. In the twentieth-century, Popular Education became another word for initiatives taken by religious and socialist groups for educating working-class adults, and women. However, in the course of the twentieth-century, the meaning of the term shifted towards empowerment and the education of the oppressed. This book explores the several ways in which Popular Education has been theoretically and empirically defined, in several regions of the world, over the last three centuries. It is the result of work by scholars from Europe and the Americas during the 31st session of the International Standing Conference on the History of Education (ISCHE) that was organised at Utrecht University, the Netherlands in August 2009. This book was originally published as a special issue of Paedagogica Historica.

The OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) component of the ABA Applied exam is a new concept that involves a number of 'live' practical stations in which candidates must demonstrate communication, professionalism and technical skills to the examiners. This book covers topics that are outlined in the ABA curriculum, presented in a way that emulates the OSCE exam setting, and will help candidates prepare for the exam and test their knowledge. Each station is constructed in clear, logical fashion to make the revision of individual topics more accessible. The sample questions and answers allow self-testing and are complemented by discussions, numerous illustrations and up-to-date clinical guidelines which follow modern-day anesthetic practice. The OSCE Guide for the ABA Applied Examination is a must-have resource which will help candidates further understand and prepare for the OSCE process.

Das Buch zeigt angehenden und bereits praktizierenden Lehrkräften Wege zu einem guten, substanziellen und kompetenzorientierten Geometrieunterricht in der Grundschule auf. Dazu bietet es sowohl theoretisches Hintergrundwissen zur fachlichen Orientierung als auch vielfältige, didaktisch detailliert aufbereitete Anregungen zur praktischen Umsetzung an. Die vorliegende Neuauflage ist eine vollständige Neubearbeitung und Aktualisierung des erfolgreichen Standardwerks von Marianne Franke † zur Didaktik der Geometrie in der Grundschule. Die vorliegende Überarbeitung durch Simone Reinhold bezieht verstärkt jüngere Ergebnisse aus der geometriedidaktischen Forschung ein. Zu allen grundschulrelevanten Inhaltsbereichen der ebenen und räumlichen Geometrie wurden zudem inhaltliche Ergänzungen und Hinweise aus den eigenen langjährigen Unterrichtserfahrungen in der Grundschule aufgenommen. Durch zahlreiche Aktivitäten möchte dieses Buch dazu anregen, Kindern Freude an geometrischen Erkundungen zu vermitteln. Reichhaltige geometrische Lernumgebungen sollen dazu beitragen, räumliche Fähigkeiten von Kindern im Grundschulalter zu entwickeln und den Erwerb geometrischen Wissens zu fördern.

Der vorliegende Band enthalt drei Studien zu uberlieferungsgeschichtlichen, metrisch-textkritischen und grammatischen Problemen in den Schriften des Atha- nasius von Alexandria. Sie sind aus der textkritischen und editorischen Arbeit an dogmatischen Hauptwerken dieses Kirchenvaters, insbesondere den Arianer- reden und Serapionbriefen, in der Patristischen Arbeitsstelle Bochum der Rhei- nisch-Westfalischen Akademie der Wissenschaften hervorgegangen. Der Titel kundigt eine gemischte Thematik an. Athanasius als Hauptzeuge der "Thalia", der beruhmtesten, aber nur in Bruchstucken erhaltenen Schrift des Arius, steht im Mittelpunkt des ersten Beitrages. Die Themenreihenfolge der Refe- rate sowie Metrik und Akrostichon der Fragmente weisen einen Weg, auf dem die Rekonstruktion des haretischen Lehrgedichts gefunden werden koennte. Weiteren Bemuhungen wird eine Neuedition der" Thalia" -Referate aus oratio I contra Aria- nos und epistula ad episcopos Aegypti et Libyae an die Hand gegeben. Ausschliesslich um Athanasius geht es in der sich anschliessenden, "Quaestiones grammaticae" betitelten Studie. In ihr wurden grammatische und stilistische Beob- achtungen, die sich im Zusammenhang mit der Vorbereitung einer Edition der Arianerreden und der Serapionbriefe ergaben, gesammelt. Diese Studie ist von uns gemeinsam verlasst worden. Die einzelnen Beitrage sind daher durch die Siglen KM bzw. FS in ihrer jeweiligen Zugehoerigkeit kenntlich gemacht worden. Thema der dritten Studie ("Athanasius latinus") ist ein lateinischer Zweig der Athanasiusuberlieferung, die im Codex Laurentianus San Marco 584 ins Mittel- alter hinubergerettete Sammlung von Athanasiana und Pseudathanasiana. Unter- sucht werden das Verhaltnis der uberliefernden Handschriften untereinander und Fragen der Zuschreibung dieser UEbersetzung. Auch der Charakter des UEberset- zungslateins wird kurz beleuchtet.

Basierend auf vertragstheoretischen Uberlegungen entwickelt das Buch einen Erklarungsansatz, mit dem die Wirkungen gesellschaftlich verantwortlichen Handelns differenziert erfasst werden konnen."

This is a new release of the original 1950 edition.

Since the introduction of the so called "No Fault Divorce" in Canada, the divorce industry has evidenced unprecedented growth estimated at $6 billion per year. The problem is that the Legal / Court industry thrives off the $B's generated by Tax payers and Families in crises. For this they provide no value and in fact cause destruction of families by unnecessarily removing fathers from children's lives and lowering the standard of living for all family members. This is done through unnecessary litigation, biased decisions and unreasonable support orders which escalate conflict to perpetuate the status quo in support of their self serving business. The Solution is to update divorce laws to reflect parental equality and get families out of court eliminating significant grief and $'s wasted by families and taxpayers. An alternative to courts is identified in the book.

Following the extraordinary career of a Second World War bomber pilot, Flying Among Heroes brings together adventure and human daring with the harsh realities of being a member of the wartime Royal Air Force. Tom Cooke, like hundreds of other young men in 1939, joined up to the RAF just a few days before war began aged 18, being selected for pilot training. Just five years later, he had flown fifty-one operations, taken part in the Berlin bombings and three 1,000-bomber raids, and had even taken part in special operations in conjunction with the SOE. Not only did Cooke volunteer for an optional second and third tour of operations, but he was also shot down over France on his thirteenth special operation, survived the bale out with his crew and evaded capture. Helped by the French Resistance, he managed to make his way into Spain and was taken back to England from Gibraltar. Unsurprisingly, considering Cooke's outstanding bravery and patriotism, he was decorated multiple times in his career. Franks and Muggleton make use of primary documentation, including Cooke's own words, and contemporary images to put together a poignant story of wartime duty. In an effort to portray the situation for many young men like Cooke, much information is included on other squadrons and operations, as well as on Bomber Command itself. In all, 55,000 men of Bomber Command gave their lives to the cause of the Second World War; this is the tale of just one of those remarkable young men who survived the hardships of war, returning victorious to a nation of heroes.
