This title explores best practice for engagement with challenging
educational contexts through service-learning drawing on the
contributors' international experience. "Service-Learning and
Educating in Challenging Contexts" explores the potential of
service-learning identified as a way to integrate community service
with academic study to enrich the on-going professional development
of educators, especially in schools that are located in challenging
contexts. This collection offers a further refinement of what
typically comes under the remit of service-learning, switching the
focus from the learning experience of the learner, to the educator
and the deep and enriching professional learning opportunities that
service-learning can offer. This approach to service-learning
promotes collaborative practices amongst professional and
in-service educators, and encourages an integration of theory and
practice. The international contributors use their own experiences
as well as current research to provide a thorough exploration of
service-learning from national and international perspectives.
If you have lived in an apartment community you may indeed
appreciate this book for its characters and humor. "Graham Place
Manor" will take you immediately into the lives of the staff, and
residents of this grand old apartment home. The occupants of Graham
Place Manor come in all shapes and sizes with an assortment of
personalities. You will meet the illusive and sometimes vindictive
Uncle Tom, the concierge staff including the sarcastic Devaney, and
the Brazilian, Jose.From his position in maintenance you will see
the rise to management of Shane Sullivan, and meet his wife Maeve.
In all you will meet people ranging from Celts to New England
Wasps, and rumors of a ghost's appearance only add to the confusion
that comes out of the day to day running this complex place. This
is a work of fiction, but it will make you aware of many
possibilities that may arise in apartment living.
This book looks critically at some of the underlying assumptions
which shape our current understanding of the role and purpose of
law and society. It focuses on adjudication as a social practice
and as a set of governmental techniques. From this vantage point,
it explores how the relationship between law, government and
society has changed in the course of history in significant ways.
At the centre of the argument is the elaboration of the notion of
`adjudicative government'. From this perspective it is argued that
the relationship between law and society must be conceived in a
different way in the era of economics, sociology and statistics.
The impact of these disciplines both constitutes `modernity' and
unfolds a different role for law. The author argues that the
traditional vision of the role of law, rooted in a complex set of
hierarchical assumptions, is no longer adequate.
Though Very Far North opens with poems of farm and field, it ranges
through landscapes and seascapes far from the Great Plains. Amid a
wide diversity of sources, a singular sensibility unites apparent
contradictions. Murphy is simultaneously rural and urbane, humorous
and grim, gay (in both senses) and austere. Murphy turned his back
on cities, Yale, and the academic world some thirty years ago. He
returned to the Red River of the North, where he bought and sold,
farmed and failed, like so many before him. All the while he
distilled what he saw, heard, or felt into his finely honed,
well-crafted verse.
