This collection focuses on the ways in which policy relating to
professional development and professional learning in teacher
education is changing across Europe. The chapters examine how

Europe, despite moves towards economic and social integration. A

learning of educators in the success and effective operation of the
education systems of the countries concerned.
This book was originally published as a special issue of

In the Archaeology of Peace, Jim O'Brien uses a lens of logical
analysis to focus on who we humans are, the purpose of governments,
the nature of freedom, and how we perceive self defense. O'Brien
challenges each of us to consider the way we think, how we as a
species came to perceive our realities and identities, and with our
free will, how to re-create our unexamined paradigms into a more
human and logical model for peaceful coexistence.
