"This book is a must-read for all elementary educators. A call to
action, the guide for teachers offers incredible resources,
including powerful lesson plans, to engage readers in the practice
of teaching mathematics for social justice in early childhood
settings. An immense contribution to the conversation around social
justice and mathematics in elementary education." Ruchi
Agarwal-Rangnath Assistant Professor, University of San Francisco
San Francisco, CA Empower children to be the change-join the
teaching mathematics for social justice movement! We live in an era
in which students of all ages have-through media and their lived
experiences- a more visceral experience of social injustices.
However, when people think of social justice, mathematics rarely
comes to mind. With a teacher-friendly design, this book brings
early elementary mathematics content to life by connecting it to
the natural curiosity and empathy young children bring with them
and the issues they experience. Tested in PK-2 classrooms, the
model lessons contributed in this book walk teachers through the
process of applying critical frameworks to instruction, using
standards-based mathematics to explore, understand, and respond to
social justice issues. Learn to plan instruction that engages
children in mathematics explorations through age-appropriate,
culturally relevant topics such as fairness, valuing diversity and
difference, representation and inequality, and environmental
justice. Features include: Content cross-referenced by mathematical
concept and social issues Connection to Learning for Justice's
social justice standards Downloadable instructional materials and
lesson resources Guidance for lessons driven by children's unique
passions and challenges Connections between research and practice
Written for teachers committed to developing equitable and just
practices through the lens of mathematics content and practice
standards as well as social justice standards, this book will help
connect content to children's daily lives, fortify their
mathematical understanding, and expose them to issues that will
support them in becoming active citizens and leaders.
This book is a detailed and close examination of the rave club
drugs market as it took place in nightclubs, dance parties, pubs
and bars and among friendship networks in London, in the mid to
late 1990s. It focuses on the organizational features of drugs
purchasing and selling and differentiates anonymous drugs trading
in public nightclub settings, from selling among extended networks
of friends and others. The stories of different people and
friendship groups illustrate the varied drug selling roles and
highlight the enterprise and entrepreneurship supporting their
involvement. Told from the perspective of author's own membership
in this night-time leisure culture, and embracing the disciplines
of urban sociology and cultural criminology, this book contributes
to our knowledge of recreational drugs markets and night-time
leisure cultures. It will be of interest to students and academics
with interests in these fields, as well as the many other people
whose lives became a part of this vibrant leisure scene.
Women in Medieval Europe explores the key areas of female
experience in the later medieval period, from peasant women to
Queens. It considers the women of the later Middle Ages in the
context of their social relationships during a time of changing
opportunities and activities, so that by 1500 the world of work was
becoming increasingly restricted to women. The chapters are
arranged thematically to show the varied roles and lives of women
in and out of the home, covering topics such as marriage, religion,
family and work. For the second edition a new chapter draws
together recent work on Jewish and Muslim women, as well as those
from other ethnic groups, showing the wide ranging experiences of
women from different backgrounds. Particular attention is paid to
women at work in the towns, and specifically urban topics such as
trade, crafts, healthcare and prostitution. The latest research on
women, gender and masculinity has also been incorporated, along
with updated further reading recommendations. This fully revised
new edition is a comprehensive yet accessible introduction to the
topic, perfect for all those studying women in Europe in the later
Middle Ages.

This vivid and pioneering study illuminates the different roles
played in late medieval society by noblewomen - the most
substantial group of women to survive as individuals in medieval
documents. They emerge (despite limited political opportunities) as
figures of consequence themselves in a landowning society through

hospitality, patronage and affinity.

This is a collection of walks in England and Wales for those who
enjoy historical sights but who also want to experience the
surrounding beautiful countryside. The walks start from some of the
most visited historical and interesting sites, such as castles,
abbey ruins, stately homes, cathedrals, and ancient monuments.
These are not town walks, although many routes begin in towns--most
of them go through fields, woods, farms, or marshland, often on
muddy paths, sometimes over hills and sometimes beside rivers. The
walks vary in length from roughly two to eight miles, averaging
about five. The book includes detailed route descriptions and
sketch maps.
"Women in England in the Middle Ages" looks at 'all sorts and
conditions' of women from c.500 to c.1500 A.D., concentrating on
common experiences over their life-cycle, as daughters, wives and
mothers, and the contrasts derived from their position in the
social hierarchy. Most women lived out their lives in their own
village or town, but queens and noblewomen exercised power and
patronage locally and at the royal court. Religion played a
significant part in women's lives; some became nuns and abbesses,
while the majority were involved in their own parish and community.
Inevitably, women's lives changed over time, but, in bringing up
their children and balancing family and work, medieval women faced
many of the problems of their modern counterparts.
Just because you live in the city doesn't mean you can't enjoy
nature. This compact guide offers 52 outdoor explorations,
adventures, observations, and games that help families connect to
nature while living in the city.
