Educators, professionalism and politics offers ways of
understanding how and with what consequences national systems of
education and the work of education professionals are being
reregulated in the context of contemporary global transitions.
Globalization does not just create transnational organizations,
relations and practices; it also transforms nation-states by
creating more complex education spaces that impinge on the work of
educators and the learning that they enable, globally, nationally
and locally. This volume of the World Yearbook of Education focuses
firmly on the educators themselves. It documents the way educators
encounter and renegotiate ideas and practices that travel globally
as they seek to enact their established professional projects. This
framing recognises that educators' spaces, work and identities are
historically anchored in national institutional trajectories, but
are both disturbed and renewed as globally mobile ideas and
practices "touch down" within national systems of education. The
chapters examine the effect of global transitions on educators and
education, and offers new perspectives on educational work in
different parts of the world today. They challenge bleak
assessments of teacher de-professionalization and idealistic
narratives about professional development. Chapters highlight the
significance of educators' occupational boundary work and the
resources and networks they mobilize through their professional
projects as they make and remake education in national spaces. The
volume tracks: Re-regulatory trajectories evident in national
education spaces and their impact on educators; The way educators
renegotiate globally mobile ideas, practices and national
institutional trajectories, as they mediate global formations
emerging in the national space; and The kinds of mediations and
resources that enable education professionals to engage with the
politics of professionalization. This volume of The World Yearbook
of Education will be of great interest to Education researchers,
graduate students, teacher educators and education policy-makers.

If you need to parse or process text data in Linux or Unix, this
classic book explains how to use flex and bison to solve your
problems quickly - whether you're interpreting code, configuration
files, or any other structured format. "Flex and Bison" is the
long-awaited sequel to the classic O'Reilly book, "Lex and Yacc".
In the nearly two decades since that book was published, the "Flex
and Bison" utilities have proven to be more reliable and more
powerful than the original Unix tools. This book covers the same
core functionality vital to Linux and Unix program development,
along with several important new topics. This thoroughly updated
edition will help you: address syntax crunching that regular
expressions tools can't handle; build compilers and interpreters,
and handle a wide range of text processing functions; learn key
programming techniques, including syntax trees and symbol tables;
implement a full SQL grammar, with complete sample code; and, use
new features such as pure (reentrant) lexers and parsers, powerful
GLR parsers, and interfaces to C++. This book includes revised
tutorial sections for novice users and reference sections for
advanced users, with chapters that explain each utility's basic
usage and simple, stand-alone applications. Dive into "Flex and
Bison" and discover the wide range of uses these flexible tools
provide.
Whatever your programming language, whatever your platform, you
probably tap into linker and loader functions all the time. But do
you know how to use them to their greatest possible advantage? Only
now, with the publication of Linkers & Loaders, is there an
authoritative book devoted entirely to these deep-seated
compile-time and run-time processes.
The book begins with a detailed and comparative account of linking
and loading that illustrates the differences among various
compilers and operating systems. On top of this foundation, the
author presents clear practical advice to help you create faster,
cleaner code. You'll learn to avoid the pitfalls associated with
Windows DLLs, take advantage of the space-saving,
performance-improving techniques supported by many modern linkers,
make the best use of the UNIX ELF library scheme, and much more. If
you're serious about programming, you'll devour this unique guide
to one of the field's least understood topics. Linkers &
Loaders is also an ideal supplementary text for compiler and
operating systems courses.
*Includes a linker construction project written in Perl, with
project files available for download. *Covers dynamic linking in
Windows, UNIX, Linux, BeOS, and other operating systems.
*Explains the Java linking model and how it figures in network
applets and extensible Java code.
*Helps you write more elegant and effective code, and build
applications that compile, load, and run more efficiently.
