This book traces the historical development of the World History
course as it has been taught in high school classrooms in Texas, a
populous and nationally influential state, over the last hundred
years. Arguing that the course is a result of a patchwork of
competing groups and ideas that have intersected over the past
century, with each new framework patched over but never completely
erased or replaced, the author crucially examines themes of
imperialism, Eurocentrism, and nationalism in both textbooks and
the curriculum more broadly. The first part of the book presents an
overview of the World History course supported by numerical
analysis of textbook content and public documents, while the second
focuses on the depiction of non-Western peoples, and persistent
narratives of Eurocentrism and nationalism. It ultimately offers
that a more global, accurate, and balanced curriculum is possible,
despite the tension between the ideas of professional world
historians, who often de-center the nation-state in their quest for
a truly global approach to the subject, and the historical core
rationale of state-sponsored education in the United States: to
produce loyal citizens. Offering a new, conceptual understanding of
how colonial themes in World History curriculum have been dealt
with in the past and are now engaged with in contemporary times, it
provides essential context for scholars and educators with
interests in the history of education, curriculum studies, and the
teaching of World History in the United States.

The past decade has seen increasing interest within the cognitive
neuroscience community in understanding the psychological processes
involved in representing the body, and in learning how these
processes may be implemented within the brain. This special issue
of Cognitive Neuroscience contributes to the rapidly developing
literature by presenting six empirical and two theoretical
discussion papers and their commentaries. It provides a timely
review of the current state-of-the-art on several of the most
important topic areas in the body representation field.
This book explores the evolution of Canadian and Australian
national identities in the era of decolonization by evaluating
educational policies in Ontario, Canada, and Victoria, Australia.
Drawing on sources such as textbooks and curricula, the book argues
that Britishness, a sense of imperial citizenship connecting white
Anglo-Saxons across the British Empire, continued to be a crucial
marker of national identity in both Australia and Canada until the
late 1960s and early 1970s, when educators in Ontario and Victoria
abandoned Britishness in favor of multiculturalism. Chapters
explore how textbooks portrayed imperialism, the close relationship
between religious education and Britishness, and efforts to end
assimilationist Anglocentrism and promote equality in education.
The book contributes to British World scholarship by demonstrating
how decolonization precipitated a massive search for identity in
Ontario and Victoria that continues to challenge educators and
policy-makers today.
This book captures the contested terrain of contemporary
masculinity and explores a range of conceptualisations, with a
specific focus on the role of the media and promotional culture
within the context of sport. Asking whether sport is the final
frontier of masculinity in society, the book focuses on how the
production and representation of sport-related advertising and
marketing contribute to the shifting and contested nature of
masculinity and its alleged crisis. Drawing upon conceptual and
empirical examples spanning across sport celebrity, professional
sport leagues, beer advertising and indigenous cultures, the
authors explore the links between sport, masculinity, promotional
and consumer culture. Collectively, the chapters illustrate how
advertising and promotional campaigns continue to circulate
representations of particular forms of hegemonic masculinity while
also accommodating new forms. Sport, Promotional Culture and the
Crisis of Masculinity will be of interest to students and scholars
in the fields of sociology of sport, media studies, marketing,
gender and masculinity studies.

The growing influence of sport has created a unique opportunity to
build international relationships for a number of purposes,
including cultural, economic, shared humanitarian, and
increasingly, political diplomacy. This book explores the influence
and effectiveness of sport diplomacy in improving long-term
relations between nations by opening a dialogue with international
leaders, raising awareness of host countries and to bridging
cultural differences, and in building international relationships
through ambassadors that could increase trade and legislative
agreements, and even bring peace to nations in conflict. Authored
by talented scholars from all over the world, many of whom served
as sport diplomats, their unique perspective in each case sheds
light on the ways in which sport diplomacy can succeed or falter in
achieving strategic objectives between influential -- and in some
cases historically adversarial -- countries. A thoroughly
intriguing look at sport diplomacys past and ongoing efforts to
improve relations with countries such as Brazil, Russia, Iran and
China, this book brings to the forefront an area in which sport has
been able to open up and increase opportunities to build
relationships between people, communities, governments and
countries.
In I Had Such A Wonderful Day, a little girl wakes up to discover

Megan Kathleen Murphy is a successful young accountant at one of
the most prestigious firms in the region. She is young, smart, and
pretty, with her whole career ahead of her. Professionally, she's
satisfied and challenged, but something in her life is ... missing.
She yearns for someone to take control, tell her what to do. She
longs for Him, the man who will take her hand-and then tell her
exactly what she is to do with it. She desires someone who can make
her fly.
Stephen Jackson is, by all accounts, a powerful man. He is
accustomed to making important decisions quickly, and that
confidence serves him well. So when his accountants alert him to a
discrepancy involving nearly a million dollars, he demands answers.
When he discovers that she is the one who made the million-dollar
mistake, he is faced with another of those snap decisions. His
decision will alter both their lives irrevocably - in a way she
never could have predicted.
Can Megan accept his decision and her discipline?
His business demands are only part of what he requires. Is this
strong, desirable man the one who can lead her to her dreams, or
will he simply end her career? As is his custom - he gets what he
wants: but can she be the kitten he desires?
Let the games begin.

come to visit.
This book is written for middle and high school Spanish teachers.
Its subject matter covers material normally taught in first year
Spanish class. The book is divided into 10 parts. There are 31
lessons each one preceded by its objective, its method of
accomplishment, and its outcome. Most of the 40 exercises have 20
or more items. Each exercise is accompanied by its solution. The
modular design of each lesson enables it to stand on its own so you
can easily fit it into your teaching schedule and carriculum insted
of the other way around. This structure also makes it ideally
suited for review. My unique 3-step approach to conjugating regular
verbs, enables the student to easily grasp the mechanics of the
operation, and, when necessary, enables her/him to diagnose and
correct errors. You will find a verb bank of regular verbs, a verb
bank of reflexive verbs, ample listings of stem-changing verbs, a
listing of popular activities, a pronunciation guide to high
frequency words, and two appendices.
