The elucidation of reaction mechanisms generally requires the
carefully designed control of molecular symmetry to distinguish
between the many possible reaction pathways. Making and Breaking
Symmetry in Chemistry emphasises the crucial role played by
symmetry in modern synthetic chemistry. After discussion of a
number of famous classical experiments, the advances brought about
by the introduction of new techniques, in particular NMR
spectroscopy, are exemplified in numerous cases taken from the
recent literature. Experimental verification of many of the
predictions made in Woodward and Hoffmann's explication of the
Conservation of Orbital Symmetry are described. Applications that
involve the breaking of molecular symmetry to resolve these and
other mechanistic problems in organic, inorganic and organometallic
chemistry are presented in the first sections of the book, together
with many examples of the detection of hitherto hidden
rearrangement processes.Subsequently, under the aegis of making
molecular symmetry, examples of the preparation of highly
symmetrical molecules found in the organic, organometallic or
inorganic domains are discussed. These include Platonic
hydrocarbons or boranes, tetrahedranes, cubanes, prismanes,
dodecahedrane, fullerene fragments such as corannulene, sumanene or
semibuckminsterfullerene, and other systems of unusual geometries
or bonding characteristics (Moebius strips, molecular brakes and
gears, Chauvin's carbomers, Fitjer's rotanes, persubstituted rings,
metal-metal multiple bonds, etc.). The text also contains vignettes
of many of the scientists who made these major advances, as well as
short sections that briefly summarise key features of important
topics that underpin the more descriptive material. These include
some aspects of chirality, NMR spectroscopy, and the use of
isotopic substitution to break molecular symmetry. A brief appendix
on point group symmetry and nomenclature is also helpfully
provided.
Empowering learners for life requires a fundamental shift in higher
education curriculum design. New priorities, pedagogies,
technologies, spaces, and assessment strategies are required to
enable learners to take ownership of their learning.
"Student-centeredness" concepts are still prescriptive in nature as
most decisions on curriculum, assessment, teaching, and learning
approaches are still teacher-centric. Teachers are developing
student-centered learning environments without the involvement of
the learners in the planning, decision making, and/or design
process. In addition, some lecturers are still practicing the
traditional approaches of content delivery and conventional
assessment methods rather than experimenting with innovative
practices suited for student-centered approaches. Therefore, there
is an ongoing need for research focused on the importance and
effectiveness of a paradigm shift in education that involves
student-teacher partnerships, fueled by innovative teaching and
learning designs, where students take an active role and contribute
as partners in learning. Transforming Curriculum Through
Teacher-Learner Partnerships captures experiences and evidence
among teachers in exploring the possibility of active student
participation in curriculum design, delivery, and assessment
through teacher-learner partnership. The chapters address issues of
teacher-learner partnerships in designing the learning environment
and how student-centered methods create resilient, adaptable, and
future-capable learners. While highlighting topics within this
scope such as learner autonomy, learning performance,
self-efficacy, and teaching pedagogy, this book is ideally intended
for teachers, administrators, teacher educators, practitioners,
stakeholders, researchers, academicians, and students interested in
issues related to the teacher-learner partnership.
Addressing the post-enlightenment problems of meaning and freedom,
Kyle Michael James Shuttleworth traces the historical development
of the ethics of authenticity in a lucid and vigorous study. The
emergence of authenticity as an ethical ideal is probed in relation
to the rise of social freedom and individualism which opens up
conversations and disagreements with the German Idealists, and
later, Habermas, Foucault, and MacIntyre. Taking heed of these
intellectual predecessors and proponents of ethical authenticity
leads to an original conception of a socio-existential account of
ethical authenticity, made possible by the work of both Taylor and
Sartre. Moving beyond virtue ethics, discourse ethics and
Foucauldian notions of self-care, The History and Ethics of
Authenticity constructs a practical ethics of authenticity that is
both embedded in and able to transcend the current moment. Making
use of contemporary reference points, including the rise of social
media, capitalist branding, and competing appeals to identity,
authenticity becomes an achievable ethical ideal.

Are you truly happy? This is the question that helped me to change
my life. When I stopped to seriously consider this question, I
realized that the answer was no. In fact, I began to wonder what
happiness really was. Upon recognizing this void, a quiet yet
persistent voice within demanded attention to this, even though I
did not know what to do. Eventually, I was guided to take that hard
and honest look within. The search initially was to understand why
things were going wrong in my life. I was experiencing problems in
my job and relationships. On the surface, others perceived me as
successful, yet within I felt different, alone, unworthy, confused,
and lost. Discovering Michael is an inspirational story and guide
about overcoming a life of adversity and challenges. It is a
personal account and reflection of learnings about the journey and
the methods used for personal growth and self-discovery. It is
about changing unhealthy attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors into
healthier choices, supportive of greater levels of happiness,
meaning and purpose.
"D'Amato has the soul of a poet."
-Phyllis Johnson, Tidewater Teacher Magazine
If you have visited Italy or are going soon, you probably know
the basics: ordering a coffee will get you an espresso, don't plan
to shop between 2:00 and 4:00 PM, and Italians tip about 5 percent
compared to our 15 percent. However, if someone tells you to locate
the zebra stripes, asks if you want to borrow a phone, or
recommends some local cannoli, there's a good chance you'll be
caught off guard.
During a seventeen-day escapade in a remote town two hours south
of Naples, D'Amato and his students discovered the nuances of
Italian society and much more. From being pick-pocketed to
realizing there was no drinking age, the teenagers confronted many
unanticipated situations.
Whether you are contemplating a vacation in Italy or wondering
what happens when a teacher takes students four thousand miles from
home, D'Amato's travel journal will serve as an intimate guide to
the pain and pleasure of cross-cultural immersion. His captivating
accounts are filled with impassioned observations and practical
advice that will help readers avoid the potential pitfalls of
traveling abroad. Roam Italy will make even jaded world travelers
slow down to savor the oft-missed beauty and meaning embedded in
seemingly ordinary "everyday" experiences.
The current trend of learner centeredness in education has been
challenging many of the current ways of working, especially in
higher education institutions. This rapid change in educational
institutions demands educators acquire new sets of skills via
continuous reflective practices. Hence, educators in higher
education institutions are actively involved in research-driven
teaching and learning practices. This change of role from mere
content delivery to learning facilitators could be better achieved
through a strong research-driven community of practice. Preparing
21st Century Teachers for Teach Less, Learn More (TLLM) Pedagogies
is a pivotal reference source that provides vital research on the
application of practice-based learning techniques in higher
education institutions. This publication establishes a platform for
academics to share their best practices to promote teach less,
learn more pedagogies and learn reciprocally from the community of
practice. While highlighting topics such as interactive learning,
experiential technology, and logical thinking skills, this book is
ideally designed for teachers, instructional designers, higher
education faculty, deans, researchers, professionals, universities,
academicians, and students seeking current research on
transformative learning and future teaching practices.
Pierre Bourdieu is regarded as one of the foremost social
philosophers of the twentieth century. His output included
extensive studies of education, culture, art and language. He went
beyond being a sociologist to being regarded in the same 'public
intellectual' role as Sartre, de Beauvoir and Foucault. Issues
surrounding language permeate Bourdieu's entire oeuvre. Although he
did undertake empirical studies on language in a range of contexts,
very little of this was published. This book redresses this
balance; it sets out what Bourdieu has to say about language and
why, and exemplifies this approach through a series of empirical
language studies. This book will appeal to researchers across the
world in fields such as sociology, philosophy,cultural studies,
anthropologybut is of especial interest to language and linguistics
scholars.

Language Learner Strategies combines principles with research and
classroom practice, providing a new view of language learning to
inform policy and teaching methodology. Divided into three parts,
the book draws links between language learning theory in the
established research literature, the authors' own empirical studies
and the implications for curriculum policy and teacher education.
The book addresses issues that to date have not been fully explored
including the strategies of the 12-15 year old age range learning
Modern Languages such as French, German, Spanish and Mandarin
Chinese. A special focus is given to the sociocultural aspects of
learner strategies and their link with psychological contexts in
which they are used. The authors explore the cognitive turn in
language learner strategy research and the practical teaching
approaches it helps to develop. It sets a future agenda for learner
strategy research and classroom practice.
