Dramatic Interactions in Education draws together contemporary
sociocultural research across drama and educational contents to
draw out implications for researchers and practitioners both within
and outside the field. Drama is a field for which human
interactions, experience, emotional expression, and attitude are
central, with those in non-arts fields discovering that
understandings emerging from drama education can provide models and
means for examining the affective and relational domains which are
essential for understanding learning processes. In addition to
this, those in the realm of drama education and applied theatre are
realising that sociocultural and historical-cultural approaches can
usefully inform their research and practice. Leading international
theorists and researchers from across the UK, Europe, USA and
Australia combine theoretical discussions, research methodologies,
accounts of research and applications in classroom and learning
contexts, as they explore concepts from Vygotsky's foundational
work and interrogate key concepts such as perezhivanie (or the
emotional, lived experience), development of self, zone of proximal
development.
Manning Clark and Kathleen Fitzpatrick were influential Australian
historians; they were both also gifted writers. The personal
letters they exchanged over a period of forty years are published
for the first time in Dear Kathleen, Dear Manning.Reading these
letters, we trace the gradual development of an unlikely, but deep
and sympathetic friendship. On the surface they had little in
common, apart from their interest in Australian history: Clark's
left-wing politics contrasted with Fitzpatrick's staunch
liberalism; her privileged background with his more austere
upbringing.Yet they struck a chord in each other, both seeing
themselves in some way as 'outsiders'. They were both
extraordinarily sensitive and reserved people.Dear Kathleen, Dear
Manning gives us a unique insight into the professional and
personal lives of two significant Australians. It offers us
exquisite examples of the lost art of letter writing and will be of
great literary, scholarly and human interest to readers of all
ages.
The first, definitive text on female sexual dysfunction, this major
new book summarizes the current body of knowledge in the field,
traces the history of developments in the area, and identifies work
still needed in the future. Reflecting a multidisciplinary approach
to the subject, the book details the methods and materials for
ensuring the appropriate management of women with sexual health
problems, and concentrates on the presentation of evidence-based
data concerning the physiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis and
treatment of sexual function and dysfunction in women. The
inclusion of 'difficult cases' also enhances the use of text as a
practical guide to all disciplines concerned with the field of
female sexual dysfunction. This important work will become a key
resource for basic science researchers, endocrinologists,
gynecologists, psychologists, urologists, health care clinicians,
and anyone else interested in women's sexual health. All proceeds
are donated to the International Society for the Study of Women's
Sexual Health.

In development circles, there is now widespread consensus that
social entrepreneurs represent a far better mechanism to respond to
needs than we have ever had before--a decentralized and emergent
force that remains our best hope for solutions that can keep pace
with our problems and create a more peaceful world.
David Bornstein's previous book on social entrepreneurship, How to
Change the World, was hailed by Nicholas Kristof in the New York
Times as "a bible in the field" and published in more than twenty
countries. Now, Bornstein shifts the focus from the profiles of
successful social innovators in that book--and teams with Susan
Davis, a founding board member of the Grameen Foundation--to offer
the first general overview of social entrepreneurship. In a Q &
A format allowing readers to go directly to the information they
need, the authors map out social entrepreneurship in its broadest
terms as well as in its particulars.
Bornstein and Davis explain what social entrepreneurs are, how
their organizations function, and what challenges they face. The
book will give readers an understanding of what differentiates
social entrepreneurship from standard business ventures and how it
differs from traditional grant-based non-profit work. Unlike the
typical top-down, model-based approach to solving problems employed
by the World Bank and other large institutions, social
entrepreneurs work through a process of iterative learning --
learning by doing--working with communities to find unique, local
solutions to unique, local problems. Most importantly, the book
shows readers exactly how they can get involved.
Anyone inspired by Barack Obama's call to service and who wants to
learn more about the essential features and enormous promise of
this new method of social change, Social Entrepreneurship: What
Everyone Needs to Know(r) is the ideal first place to look.
