Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This pathbreaking book for educators shows that focusing on
relationships, resilience, and reflection can better prepare
graduates for the future. Learning something new-particularly
something that might change your mind-is much more difficult than
most teachers think. Because people think with their emotions and
are influenced by their communities and social groups, humans tend
to ignore new information unless it fits their existing worldview.
Thus facts alone, even if discussed in detail, typically fail to
open minds and create change. In a world in need of graduates who
can adapt to new information and situations, we need to renew our
educational commitment to producing flexible and independent
thinkers. In Teaching Change, Jose Antonio Bowen argues that
education needs to be redesigned to take into account how human
thinking, behaviors, bias, and change really work. Drawing on new
research, Bowen explores how we can create better conditions for
learning that focus less on teachers and content and more on
students and process. He also examines student psychology, history,
assumptions, anxiety, and bias and advocates for education to focus
on a new 3Rs-relationships, resilience, and reflection. Finally, he
suggests explicit learning designs to foster the ability to think
for yourself. The case for a liberal (by which Bowen means
liberating) education has never been stronger, but, he says, it
needs to be redesigned to achieve the goal of creating lifelong
learners and citizens capable of divergent and independent
thinking. With an expansive and powerful argument, Teaching Change
combines elegant and gripping explanations of recent and
wide-ranging research from biology, economics, education, and
neuroscience with hundreds of practical suggestions for individual
teachers.

Contemporary developments in the book publishing industry are
changing the system as we know it. Changes in established
understandings of authorship and readership are leading to new
business models in line with the postulates of Web 2.0. Socially
networked authorship, book production and reading are among the
social and discursive practices starting to define this emerging
system. Websites offering socially networked, collaborative and
shared reading are increasingly important. Social Reading maps
socially networked reading within the larger framework of a
changing conception of books and reading. This book is structured
into chapters covering topics in: social reading and a new
conception of the book; an evaluation of social reading platforms;
an analysis of social reading applications; the personalization of
system contents; reading in the Cloud and the development of new
business models; and Open Access e-books.
Discusses social reading as an emerging tendency involving authors,
readers, librarians, publishers, and other industry
professionalsDescribes how the way we read is changingPresents ways
in which the major players in the digital content industry are

This book discusses LGBTI+ childhood from a critical,
interdisciplinary perspective with the aim of contributing to a
better understanding of the complex relationship between sexuality,
gender and childhood. Placing adultcentrism at the centre of the
analytical inquiry, the international range of contributors
consider experiences and subjectivities of children, their families
and significant contexts. Topics covered include public policies,
professional practices and care provision, as well as the tensions
and contradictions stemming from the logics of otherness and
exceptionality which populate dominant discourses, representations
and practices around sex and gender in childhood. This book is
intended for researchers and students in gender studies, sexuality
studies, education, health, childhood studies and sociology.

This book examines the political and social entrepreneurs that
champion marijuana decriminalization efforts, their constituents'
attitudes toward legalization, the specific successful reform
measures at the state level, and the consequent market dynamics in
cannabis commerce. Each chapter presents a unique dataset with
specific contributions in understanding local and national trends
and outcomes of over two decades of cannabis legalization efforts.
Using detailed analyses of user data, the contributors tackle
social issues like legalization activism in the context of calls to
defund the police, the impact of reforms on immigrant communities,
the demographic and economic characteristics of legal dispensary
customers, medical administrative structures, youth usage, and
mortality related to marijuana and other drug use. Combining
examples of the interplay of the benefits and costs of
decriminalization implementation with an honest discussion of the
possible negative aspects of recreational legalization and whom it
most harms, this book offers policy makers information for future
policy designs with a goal to decrease negative externalities and
social inequity.
The handbook provides an understanding of consolidated processing
and biorefinery systems for the production of bio-based chemicals
and value-added bioproducts from renewable sources. The chapters
look at a variety of bioenergy technological advances and
improvements in the energy and materials sectors that aim to lower
our dependence of fossil fuels and consequently reduce greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions. The volume looks at a selection of processes
for the production of energy and biomaterials, including the
Fischer-Tropsch process, gasification, pyrolysis, combustion,
fermentation from renewable sources (such as, plants, animals and
their byproducts), and others. Applications that are explored
include transportation fuels, biodiesel production, wastewater
treatment, edible packaging, bioplastics, physical rehabilitation,
tissue engineering, biomedical applications, thermal insulation,
industrial value compounds, and more. All of the topics covered in
this publication address consolidated processes that play a pivotal
role in the production of bioenergy and biomaterials because these
processes require fewer unitary operations needed in the process,
leading to a more direct method of production. This type of
production system contributes to decreasing negative effects on the
environment, lowering costs, saving energy and time, and improving
profitability and efficiency. This volume will be valuable for the
industrial sector, for researchers and scientists, as well as for
faculty and advanced students.
This book analyses the complex phenomenon of secession as a form of
creation of States from the perspective of international law. As
opposed to other approaches based on the analysis of the political
foundation of the secessionist processes or on the construction of
a legal basis that justifies the existing practice, the aim is to
provide an explanation of secession as a practice covered neither
by the legal regime of the United Nations for the
self-determination of colonial peoples nor by the regulations and
guidelines relating to the human rights of minorities and
indigenous populations, both in the UN and in regional
organisations (Organization of American States, Council of Europe
or African Union). It is stated that secession is a practice that
does not comply with international peremptory norms - such as those
that prohibit going against the territorial integrity of the
States, the use of force or intervention in the internal affairs of
other States. Even being aware of the inevitable consequences of
the effective creation of States and other de facto entities on
trade relations, communications and the rights of individuals,
among other matters, secession is a practice that should lead to an
obligation of nonrecognition by States and by international
organisations. As an example of this practice, the secessionist
process in Catalonia since 2014 is explained and studied.
Corruption is increasingly placed on top of the agenda of national
governments and supra national institutions, such as the OECD, UN
or the World Bank. A necessary condition for promoting sustainable
economic growth is the pre-existence of a stable political system
which is able to control corruption. Corruption, however, is a very
complex issue, associated with institutional and cultural
specificities, personality traits related to individualistic
values, and criminal personalities. In this book the social,
political and economic realities that prevail in particular
settings are viewed from an interdisciplinary, multidimensional,
and a multi country perspective. This book is divided into three
parts. The first part presents a comprehensive, theoretical and
empirical framework of corruption with an overview of literature on
economic growth and corruption. Part two, encompasses the in-depth
analysis of several countries, ranging from middle corrupted
contexts like Portugal, to highly corrupted countries including
Serbia, Russia, Thailand and China- the latter viewed from the
perspective of firms from a very low corruption country such as
Finland. The final part explores the prevention and control of
corruption, looking at the public sector in Thailand and fighting
corruption with different strategies. This volume is of the
interest of those who study international economics, development
economics or organised crime.
