This book explores how human interaction in the frontier zones of
the early modern Mediterranean was represented during the period,
across genres and languages. The Muslim-Christian divide in the
region produced an unusual kind of slavery, fostered a surge in
conversion to Islam and offered an ideal habitat for Catholic
martyrdom. The book argues that identities and alterities were
multiple, that there was no war between Christianity and Islam and
that commerce prevailed over ideology and dogma. Inspired by
Braudel, who asserts that 'the Mediterranean speaks with many
voices; it is a sum of individual histories', it endeavors to allow
the people of the early modern Mediterranean to speak for
themselves. -- .

If the body of knowledge of a profession is a living landscape of
practice, then our personal experience of learning can be thought
of as a journey through this landscape. Within Learning in
Landscapes of Practice, this metaphor is further developed in order
to start an important conversation about the nature of practice
knowledge, identity and the experience of practitioners and their
learning. In doing so, this book is a pioneering and timely
exploration of the future of professional development and higher
education. The book combines a strong theoretical perspective
grounded in social learning theories with stories from a broad
range of contributors who occupy different locations in their own
landscapes of practice. These narratives locate the book within
different contemporary concerns such as social media, multi-agency,
multi-disciplinary and multi-national partnerships, and the
integration of academic study and workplace practice. Both
scholarly, in the sense that it builds on prior research to extend
and locate the concept of landscapes of practice, and practical
because of the way in which it draws on multiple voices from
different landscapes. Learning in Landscapes of Practice will be of
particular relevance to people concerned with the design of
professional or vocational learning. It will also be a valuable
resource for students engaged in higher education courses with
work-based elements.
