This book provides a comprehensive, contextualized approach to
curriculum creation, design, development, and evaluation for
Intensive English Programs. The book starts by guiding the reader
through the important but often overlooked steps of contextualizing
their current or future language curriculum to give decision makers
the full picture of what their curriculum is intended to
accomplish. Subsequent chapters break down the popular ADDIE
(Analyze, Design, Develop, Implement, and Evaluate) model of
curricular design into meaningful units focused on learner and
context analysis, learning outcomes, assessments, materials, and
implementation and evaluation processes. Accessible and engaging
chapters include a variety of prompts, activities, and summaries to
support learning and implementation. With instruction on how to
build a language curriculum from scratch and insights for changing
or improving an existing curriculum, this book is a key resource
for instructors and program administrators in language programs as
well as essential reading in TESOL methods and language curriculum
design courses.
India’s ageing population is growing rapidly; over 60s constitute
7 per cent of the total population and this is projected to triple
in the next four decades. Drawing on a wide range of studies, this
book examines living arrangements across India and their impact on
the care and wellbeing of older people. Addressing access to
welfare initiatives and changing cultural norms including
co-residence, family care and migration, it reveals the diversity
of living arrangements, cultural customs and the welfare issues
facing older adults in India. This book offers a crucial
examination for practitioners, researchers and policymakers seeking
to understand and develop the infrastructure required to meet the
needs of older people in India.

Highlights "the range and richness of scholarship on medieval
warfare, military institutions, and cultures of conflict that
characterize the field". History 95 (2010) The latest collection of
the most up-to-date research on matters of medieval military
history contains a remarkable geographical range, extending from
Spain and Britain to the southern steppe lands, by way of
Scandinavia, Byzantium, and the Crusader States. At one end of the
timescale is a study of population in the later Roman Empire and at
the other the Hundred Years War, touching on every century in
between. Topics include the hardware of war, the social origins of
soldiers, considerations of individual battles, and words for
weapons in Old Norse literature. Contributors: Bernard S. Bachrach,

This book is the stand-alone final volume of a comprehensive
series covering the basic and applied science relating to nitrogen
fixation. It addresses the most important nitrogen-fixing symbiosis
of all that between legumes and their root-nodule bacteria and
therefore deals with the properties and behaviour of both macro-
and micro-symbiont. The coverage is comprehensive, beginning with
the extent of the symbiosis and how it may have arisen in the
geological past. It considers how legumes select the root-nodule
bacteria they allow to form nodules on their roots and the
intricate series of signals to be exchanged between legume and
bacteria for infection to occur. The immense progress in
understanding the genetic systems in the bacteria necessary for
nodulation is now being replicated in a rapidly increasing
understanding of the required systems in the legumes. The cell
biology of the processes of both infection and nodule development
is analysed and leads to a parallel assessment of the biochemical
processes in carbon and nitrogen metabolism required for successful
nitroogen fixation by the symbiotic bacteroid. Attention is given
to the ways in which the nodule has solved the conundrum of
providing enough O2 for energy generation to drive nitrogen
fixation without either inactivating the O2-sensitive nitrogenase
or creating damaging reactive oxygen species. The volume also
covers the basic physiology of the variety of root-nodule bacteria
infecting legumes, as well as looking at the renewed controversy
about the chemical form(s) of nitrogen exported to the legume.
Successful exploitation of the legume symbiosis in agriculture,
horticulture, and forestry demands an understanding of the ecology
of the root-nodule bacteria particularly what makes for a
successful inoculant strain for legume introduction to agricultural
systems. Then, there is a requirement for inoculation technology to
both successfully deliver viable bacteria to the root surface and
facilitate nodulation. These practical aspects are thoroughly
covered in the volume, with a final chapter assessing how the
massive amount of recent information can be exploited in matching
host and microsymbiont for the wide variety of environments in
which they are needed in our production systems."
Nodules produced on legume roots by root-nodule bacteria provide
the major nitrogenous input into natural and agricultural systems
worldwide. This book provides an in-depth and up-to-the-minute
analysis of what is known about this symbiosis, its origins, the
process of nodule formation and development, and the biochemistry
and genetics of nodular nitrogen fixation. It also reviews the
physiology of the root-nodule bacteria themselves, their ecology in
both natural and agricultural systems, and how we can introduce new
legumes along with the bacteria they require. This book is
recommended for scientists working with root nodule bacteria or
host legumes, agronomists, forestry scientists, and soil
scientists.
