discusses methods of developing more effective learning through the
systematic implementation of peer learning approaches.
While peer learning is often used informally by students - and for
many can form an essential part of their HE experience - this book
discusses methods of developing more effective learning through the
systematic implementation of peer learning approaches. It draws on
the direct experience of the authors in using peer learning in
their classes across a range of disciplines. While the emphasis is
on higher education, many of the ideas can be applied more widely.
It addresses such questions as: what is peer learning and what is
it good for?; what are the design and class management issues that
need addressing?; how best can peer learning be introduced and
fostered?; what issues need to be considered by teachers and
students?; and what are the implications for assessment?

Margaret Llewelyn Davies (1861-1944), a co-operator, feminist and
socialist, was well known in her time as the outstanding leader of
the Women's Co-operative Guild. This first full scale biography
chronicles her life and achievements, intertwining activity among
working class women with her personal story. Margaret Llewelyn
Davies' system of education, discussion and campaigning opened
doors. Women became impressive activists, committed to change both
in the co-operative movement and the wider public world. As one
Guild member put it, 'from a shy, nervous woman the Guild made me a
fighter'. The Guild flourished, developing what has been termed a
distinctively working class feminism. By 1914 the Manchester
Guardian could describe it as 'probably the most remarkable women's
organisation in the world'. The Guild pressed for boycotting
'sweated' goods, supported trade unions, battled for a minimum
wage, fought for the vote, new divorce laws and for state maternity
benefit to be paid to the wife. Cohen draws on original research:
in newspapers, the women's pages of the Co-operative News, Guild
records, unpublished papers, and more. This book breaks new ground,
providing not only compelling insights into Margaret Llewelyn
Davies' life and politics, but a fresh perspective on working class
women's activism, rediscovering their words, lives, ideas and
campaigns.
One of the most important steps towards self-healing is to take
responsibility for your own nourishment. This book provides a set
of tools to do this. It takes guidance from the insights of
traditional Chinese medicine and makes them accessible to the
modern day person. There are over 100 recipes using familiar foods
that reflect the cosmopolitan nature of Western cuisine. Each
recipe's energetic actions are described to enable the reader to
choose recipes suited to their own individual needs. There are no
good foods or bad foods: all the reader has to do is listen to the
wisdom of their own body. This book can be read alone or as an
accompaniment to "Helping Ourselves" and "The Energetics of Food".

Hepatitis C has been called "the emergent and preeminent
public-health problem of the twenty-first century - surpassing
HIV." It has also been dubbed "The Shadow Epidemic," because it is
one of the most clandestine of viruses and infects healthy people
who have no idea they are being attacked by something they can't
even detect. Now, the two experts on Hepatitis C who teamed up to
write the first comprehensive guide to orthodox and alternative
treatment options have revised and fully updated the book to
include recent findings in the field. Along with programs for
self-care, nutritional and fitness plans and a comprehensive
Western and Chinese medical treatment program, the revised edition
also includes important new self-help information for the growing
number of people who are considering or undergoing interferon
treatment, including updated information on vial load and the
optimum interferon protocol.

What are the key ideas that underpin learning from experience? How
do we learn from experience? How does context and purpose influence
learning? How does experience impact on individual and group
learning? How can we help others to learn from their experience?
"Using Experience for Learning" reflects current interest in the
importance of experience in informal and formal learning, whether
it be applied for course credit, new forms of learning in the
workplace, or acknowledging autonomous learning outside educational
institutions. It also emphasizes the role of personal experience in
learning: ideas are not separate from experience; relationships and
personal interests impact on learning; and emotions have a vital
part to play in intellectual learning. All the contributors write
themselves into their chapters, giving an autobiographical account
of how their experiences have influenced their learning and what
has led them to their current views and practice. "Using Experience
for Learning" brings together a wide range of perspectives and
conceptual frameworks with contributors from four continents, and
should be a valuable addition to the field of experiential
learning.
