There is strong social and political interest in active citizenship
and values in education internationally. Active citizenship
requires children to experience and internalize moral values for
human rights, developing their own opinions and moral
responsibility. While investment in young children is recognised as
an important factor in the development of citizenship for a
cohesive society, less is known about how early years teachers can
encourage this in the classroom. This book will present new
directions on how teachers can promote children's learning of moral
values for citizenship in classrooms. The research provided offers
important insights into teaching for active citizenship by: *
providing an analysis of educational contexts for moral values for
active citizenship * highlighting teachers' beliefs about knowing
and knowledge (personal epistemologies) and how these relate to
children's learning and understanding about social and moral values
* discussing the impact of teachers' beliefs on teaching practices.
Evidence suggests that investment in the early years is vital for
all learning, and specifically for developing an understanding of
active citizenship for tolerant and cohesive societies. This book
will be essential reading for the professional education of early
years teachers interested in teaching for active citizenship.

There's a well-known saying: what doesn't get measured doesn't get
done. So it is no surprise that communicators, human resource and
change managers and other professionals recognise the need to
measure and evaluate their work, particularly its worth to their
organization and seek the most effective ways to achieve this.

Compassion within the Nurse Patient Relationship: The
Judeo-Christian heritage of the Good Samaritan or the legacy of the
compassionate stranger has been cited as a significant factor in
the development of nursing and medicine in the U. S. and other
countries. Increasingly, however, patients, families, and
healthcare professionals describe experiences that demonstrate a
lack of compassion. Although frequently found in the literature,
the researcher found no clear conceptualization of compassion.
Using Schwart- Barcott and Kim's (2000) Hybrid Model of Concept
Development, an analysis of the concept of compassion from a review
of theological, psychological, medical, and nursing literature was
combined with interviews with nurses and older adult patients to
more clearly articulate the concept from theoretical and empirical
perspectives. In addition to identifying nursing behaviors that
more clearly explicated the meaning of compassion within nurse-
patient relationships, findings indicated that both nurses and
patients consider compassion an essential element in nursing care
that affirms, protects, and respects patients.

"he Portland Vase is the most famous cameo-glass vessel from
antiquity, probably made during the reign of the Roman Emperor
Augustus (27BC - AD14). The scenes on the vessel have long
perplexed and enchanted in equal measure. The subject is clearly
one of love and marriage, but who are the figures and are they
historical or mythological? This book offers an exciting new
reading of the vase, setting it in the context of the dramatic
relationships between the houses of Octavian, Antony and Cleopatra.
It also explores the lively history of the vase, from the earliest
records in Italy in 1601, to its purchase by Sir William Hamilton
and the dukes of Portland, and its abiding influence on British
craftsmen such as Josiah Wedgwood whose copies helped to make it
famous.
From the first major discoveries a century ago, the painted
portraits of Roman Egypt were a revelation to scholars and the
public alike, and the recent finding of a new cache of these gilded
images, which made national headlines, have only heightened their
mystery and appeal. Published to coincide with a new major
exhibition of these portraits, "Ancient Faces" is the most
comprehensive, up-to-date survey of these astonishing works of art.
Dating from the later period of Roman rule in Egypt, shortly before
the birth of Christ, the painted mummy portraits are among the most
remarkable products of the ancient world, a fusion of the
traditions of pharonic Egypt and the Classical world. They are
historical and cultural objects of outstanding importance and
beauty, superb works of art that represent some of the earliest
known examples of life-like portraiture. Though the subjects of the
portraits believed in the traditional Egyptian cults, which offered
them a firm prospect of life after death, they also wished to be
commemorated in the Roman manner, with their fashion of dress and
adornment signaling their status in life. Despite their ancient
history, these portraits speak to the modern eye with a beauty and
intensity that would be lost to portraiture until the Renaissance.

Why are we still interested in Cleopatra? She has that eternally
attractive combination of sexual allure, political power - even
divine status - and personal wealth. She had by any standards an
eventful life and an unforgettable death. She very nearly tipped
the balance of power at a crucial moment in history: had she and
Antony succeeded in maintaining their empire in the east, our
cultural life might be very different today. In this concise,
readable, well-illustrated book, Susan Walker and Sally-Ann Ashton
look at the historical Cleopatra, at images of Cleopatra as a Greek
queen and as ruler of Egypt, at contemporary perceptions of her and
at how we see her today. We see how Roman propaganda depicted her
as a threatening woman with non-Roman qualities of excessive
behaviour and emotional manipulation, a view that has come down
through Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and forms the basis of
our understanding of her over two thousand years later.
