In this politically and democratically urgent collection, George
Yancy and contributors argue that more than ever, we are in need of
classrooms that function "dangerously"-that is, classrooms where
people are not afraid to engage in critical discussions that call
into question difficult political times. Collectively they
demonstrate the ways activist authors and scholars must be prepared
to engage in risk and vulnerability as a defense of our democratic
right to practice forms of pedagogical transgression. Ideal for
scholars and students of critical pedagogy, philosophy of
education, and political theory, this collection delineates the
necessity of critical consciousness through education, and provides
ways of speaking back against authoritarian control of imaginative
and critical capacities.

A CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2013! Educating Activist Allies
offers a fresh take on critical education studies through an
analysis of social justice pedagogy in schools serving communities
privileged by race and class. By documenting the practices of
socially committed teachers at an urban private academy and a
suburban public school, Katy Swalwell helps educators and
educational theorists better understand the challenges and
opportunities inherent in this work. She also examines how students
responded to their teachers' efforts in ways that both undermined
and realized the goals of social justice pedagogy. This analysis
serves as the foundation for the development of a curricular
framework helping students to foster an "Activist Ally" identity:
the skills, knowledge, and dispositions necessary to negotiate
privilege in ways that promote justice. Educating Activist Allies
provides a powerful introduction to the ways in which social
justice curricula can and should be enacted in communities of
privilege.
This book makes sense out of the complext world of symptoms. It
does this by revealing how a doctor thinks when faced with patients
telling them their stories, that is, by ranking the possible
diagnosis in terms of probability. For the first time in a popular
medical guide, all the symptoms one might reasonably experience are
put into perspective.

Apple critically examines current trends in educational policy and draws on the issues of gender, class and economic pressure implicit in the battle for control of the curriculum.
Since 1979, Ideology and Curriculum has been a path breaking
statement on the relationship between cultural and economic power
in education. The new edition of this now classic text has been
updated by celebrated author and activist Michael W. Apple to
include a full new chapter on the book's lasting critical agenda in
the context of the contemporary conservative climate. A new
substantive preface introduces the fourth edition, reflecting on
earlier arguments and developments from the intervening years while
a concluding interview details the author's background and
continuing efforts toward building a more equitable society. In
celebration of the 40th anniversary of its publication, this
highly-anticipated new edition firmly situates Ideology and
Curriculum as one of the most important education titles of our
time.
The Struggle for Democracy in Education extends the insightful
arguments Michael W. Apple provided in Can Education Change
Society? It provides detailed examinations of both local and
system-wide struggles around conflicting versions of democracy.
Grounded in a key set of ethical and political responsibilities for
those who care deeply about education, Apple and his co-authors
interrogate conflicting models of democratic education, one
interested in the common good and the creation of critical
citizens, the other market-oriented and meant to meet a set of more
conservative economic needs. Through a series of powerful
international case studies, this volume explores the contested
terrain, combining powerful theory with the "stuff" of schools,
political and pedagogical actions, and the lives of individuals.
These detailed examinations provide the reader with a more nuanced
understanding of how policy, history, and varied actors with varied
agendas come together, and the very real people and systems that
are impacted by these conflicts. The Struggle for Democracy in
Education asks us to face and understand these myriad forces and
actors-both progressive and retrogressive-and to ask what we can do
to ensure that the education that is created is worthy of its name.
In the process, the book gives us real examples of critically
democratic education and what we can learn from these struggles.

Schools under Surveillance gathers together some of the very best
researchers studying surveillance and discipline in contemporary
public schools. Surveillance is not simply about monitoring or
tracking individuals and their data - it is about the structuring
of power relations through human, technical, or hybrid control
mechanisms. Essays cover a broad range of topics including police
and military recruiters on campus, testing and accountability
regimes such as No Child Left Behind, and efforts by students and
teachers to circumvent the most egregious forms of surveillance in
public education. Each contributor is committed to the continued
critique of the disparity and inequality in the use of surveillance
to target and sort students along lines of race, class, and gender.
Special topics covered in this title include: security systems;
police officers; audit cultures; standardized tests; marketing
research; and, military recruiters.

This reference book covers all aspects of men's health, not just
another book about heart disease and prostate trouble, but the
first mainstream book to look at all aspects of a man's life. It
features sections on physical, sexual and mental health, as well as
self-image and grooming and what you get out of being a "health
hero". Written by both a man and a woman, topics range from diet
and nutrition to fertility; from baldness to depression; from life
insurance tests to how to avoid common infectious diseases. Using
advice from expert organizations such as the British Heart
Foundation, Save Our Sons (specialising in male cancer) and the
Terence Higgins Trust, as well as Dr. Apple's experience as a GP,
the book contains contemporary and detailed medical information.
Combining quizzes, case studies and interviews with experts, all
providing constant reassurance, this book should help any man who
wants to develop all-round good health.
