This essential Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and
critical assessment of the global governance instruments related to
business and human rights from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Contributions from a diverse range of leading international
scholars offer an overview of the existing literature and
rapidly-evolving research discipline, as well as identifying key
trends and outlining an ambitious future research agenda. The
Research Handbook first examines governance initiatives that
operate across economic sectors, discussing both public and private
initiatives at state, regional and international levels that seek
to develop, implement and enforce rules with regard to the impacts
of transnational business activities on human rights. Chapters then
investigate particular economic sectors – including textiles,
electronics, agro-chemical, construction, and finance – to assess
the ways in which different initiatives attempt to mitigate risks
and address business-related human rights abuses. Scholars of law,
regulatory governance, global governance, management, human rights
and social sciences who are interested in gaining a deeper
understanding of the emerging business and human rights regime will
find this Research Handbook a crucial read. It will also prove a
useful and thorough introduction for students, scholars and
practitioners new to the field of business and human rights.

These days, it seems that everyone has a strong opinion about how
to teach young children to read. Some may brush off the current
tension as nothing more than one more round of ""the reading
wars."" Others may avoid the clash altogether due to the
uncivilized discourse that sometimes results. Certainly, sorting
the signal from the noise is no easy task.In this leading-edge
book, authors Jan Burkins and Kari Yates address this tension as a
critical opportunity to look closely at the research, reevaluate
current practices, and embrace new possibilities for an even
stronger enactment of balanced literacy. From phonological
processing to brain research to orthographic mapping to
self-teaching hypothesis, Shifting the Balance cuts through the
rhetoric (and the sciencey science) to offer readers a practical
guide to decision-making about beginning reading instruction. The
authors honor the balanced literacy perspective while highlighting
common practices to reconsider and revise - all through a lens of
what's best for the students sitting in front of us. Â Across
six shifts, each chapter identifies a common instructional practice
to reconsider explores various misunderstandings that establish and
keep that practice in play shares scientific research to support
its reconsideration proposes an instructional shift to apply a new
perspective, and details several high-leverage instructional
routines to support implementation of that shift. By pinpointing
gaps and overlaps - as well as common misunderstandings and missed
opportunities between the competing lines of thought - Jan and Kari
offer busy educators direction and clarification for integrating
science and balance into their daily instruction, while keeping
meaningful experiences with text a priority.

From Protest to Challenge Volume 4: Political Profiles, 1882–1990,
in Jacana’s second edition of the six volumes of From Protest to
Challenge, profiles over six hundred individual activists who
played important political roles during the century before the
abolition of apartheid in 1990. Among those included are John Dube,
Clements Kadalie, Albert Luthuli, Steve Biko, Beyers Naude and Joe
Slovo, as well as Ellen Kuzwayo, Jay Naidoo, Robert McBride, P.K.
Leballo and Patricia de Lille. These books are a wonderful resource
for future generations of scholars. The publication of the Vol. 4
completes the series.
From protest to challenge is a multi-volume chronicle of the
struggle to achieve democracy and end racial discrimination in
South Africa. Beginning in 1882 during the heyday of European
imperialism, these volumes document the history of race conflict,
protest, and political mobilisation by South Africa’s black
majority. Completely revised and updated, with the inclusion of
photographs and with the previous volumes re-formatted to unify the
series, this second edition of From protest to challenge revives
the classic work of Thomas Karis and Gwendolen Carter and provides
an indispensable resource for students and scholars of African
history, race and ethnicity, identity politics, democratic
transitions and conflict resolution. The authors gratefully
acknowledge the assistance and generosity of all those who helped
to make this book possible. During two extended periods of
pioneering field research by Gwendolen Carter, Thomas Karis, and
Sheridan Johns in South Africa in 1963 and 1964 – a period of
growing political tension – dozens of South Africans gave them
documents or loaned them material to photocopy, often in the hope
of preventing irreplaceable records from falling into the hands of
the police. In addition, lawyers for the defendants in the 1956–61
treason trial contributed a complete set of the trial transcript
and the preliminary examination, as well as a set of virtually all
the documents assembled by the defence in preparation for the
trial. Added to the materials that the team was able to photocopy
from archival collections at several South African universities and
at the South African institute of race relations, these months of
fieldwork provided the initial foundation for what was to become
the first four volumes of From protest to challenge.
