This book provides a thorough and detailed analysis of how the
figure of the ‘autonomous learner’ shapes educational
practices. It unpacks the impact of current educational reform
discourse that focuses on the individual pupil as a learner, while
neglecting the social dimensions of classroom practices. In view of
the yet unknown requirements of the knowledge economy, students are
demanded to take more responsibility for their learning and to
become self-reliant, independent, lifelong learners. In turn,
teachers are asked to tailor education to the individual needs of
their students and to foster their individual learning
trajectories. Based on in-depth fieldwork and long-term observation
of interactions in classrooms and other scholastic settings,
scholars from three European countries – France, Germany and
Switzerland – show how the translation of the figure of the
‘autonomous learner’ into classrooms is shaped by distinct
cultural traditions. Chapters analyse teaching routines and
conceptions of self-reliance involved in autonomy-oriented settings
and discuss how these change the sociality of the classroom. They
scrutinize how autonomy is used to differentiate between students
and how it contributes to the reproduction of social inequality.
The book brings into dialogue two neighbouring research traditions
that research autonomous learning from a sociological perspective
and which have largely ignored each other until now. In so doing,
the contributions engage a critical perspective for a careful
empirical analysis in order to better understand what is being done
in the name of autonomy. Providing insight into the many facets of
developing and nurturing self-standing pupils across various
educational contexts, this is ideal reading for scholars in the
field of education, as well as teachers and decision-makers across
the educational sector.

This book collects papers presented during the European Workshop on
High Order Nonlinear Numerical Methods for Evolutionary PDEs (HONOM
2013) that was held at INRIA Bordeaux Sud-Ouest, Talence, France in
March, 2013. The central topic is high order methods for
compressible fluid dynamics. In the workshop, and in this
proceedings, greater emphasis is placed on the numerical than the
theoretical aspects of this scientific field. The range of topics
is broad, extending through algorithm design, accuracy, large scale
computing, complex geometries, discontinuous Galerkin, finite
element methods, Lagrangian hydrodynamics, finite difference
methods and applications and uncertainty quantification. These
techniques find practical applications in such fields as fluid
mechanics, magnetohydrodynamics, nonlinear solid mechanics, and
others for which genuinely nonlinear methods are needed.
Nanochemistry: Chemistry of Nanoparticle Formation and Interactions
provides an overview of the chemistry aspects of nanoparticle
science, including nanoparticle synthesis, chemical properties,
stability, applications and self-assembly behavior. The critical
concepts discussed in this book represent the necessary toolbox for
enabling the rational design of nanoparticle-based materials for
target applications. After an introduction to standard analytical
techniques used for nanoparticle characterization, four separate
chapters cover inorganic, organic, polymer nanoparticles, and
carbon nanostructures to highlight the synthetic protocols,
structural intricacies, and chemical properties specific to each of
these material classes. Finally, physicochemical phenomena
governing self-assembly behavior of nanoparticles are also
discussed in detail separately. This book is intended for senior
undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students and research
scientists in nanoscience and nanotechnology, material science,
chemistry, physics, biomedical sciences and relevant engineering
fields that want to develop a deeper understanding of the governing
chemical principles on the nanoscale.

Between 1991 and 2015, Josef Koudelka completed an epic journey
across twenty countries bordering the Mediterranean, stopping at
over 200 Greek and Roman archaeological sites, relentlessly
researching the beauty of the ancient world. Before the Magnum
photographer, nobody had attempted to make such a comprehensive
photographic record of these artefacts with so much persistence and
so little assistance. In this book, produced in close collaboration
with the photographer, Koudelka’s aim was to use art to
re-appropriate a world that is escaping us and that we could lose
– a world where the mind alternates between reason and faith, law
and liberty.
