Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.
This book explores how teachers can re-examine their emotional
investments in enacting dominant settler values through changing
their text selection and teaching practices. Based on a
longitudinal qualitative research study conducted by a national
team of literacy scholars in collaboration with practicing literacy
teachers at eight sites across Canada, the book investigates how
groups of teachers, working collaboratively in inquiry groups,
develop and implement curriculum to promote their own and their
students’ understandings of social justice in postcolonial and
settler spaces. In particular, the book highlights the rich and
dynamic landscape of postcolonial authors, illustrators and texts,
the development of culturally- sensitive curricula, and critical
pedagogies possible in addressing contemporary and historical
issues, both local and global. This book is primarily of interest
to literacy scholars, literacy instructors (teacher educators) in
teacher education programs, educational leaders, practicing
teachers from the K-12 spectrum, and school district staff and
policy makers with responsibilities for or interests in the
potential of literacy and literature engagement for social justice
education. The book is also be of interest to postsecondary
educators and teacher educators wishing to use literature in social
justice, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive courses.
The rail human factors/ergonomics community has grown quickly and
extensively, and there is much increased recognition of the vital
importance of ergonomics/human factors by rail infrastructure
owners, rail operating companies, system developers, regulators and
national and trans-national government. This book, the fourth on
rail human factors, is drawn from papers presented at the London
4th International Conference on Rail Human Factors. The
contributions cover the range of human and organisational issues on
the railway, from driving to signalling and control to maintenance
and engineering work, to passengers and security issues such as
trespass, and address improvements in safety, reliability, use of
capacity, efficiency and quality. The book represents the best of
recent work in rail human factors, and starts to define the
framework for the next few years. As well as the human factors
areas listed above, the conference and thus the book are notable
for sessions on simulation in rail human factors and on human
factors in metro design and operation. The book also reflects the
increased attention being paid to, and developments in,
understanding all aspects of rail stakeholders behaviour, and also
the contribution of ergonomics/human factors to innovative network
control systems which will enhance reliability, safety and use of
capacity. The book will be of interest to a number of groups: those
working in the rail sector from a human factors point of view; the
larger rail industry and related bodies generally; and in terms of
transferrable knowledge to ergonomists and human factors
specialists working in other industries.

This portfolio contains five sections; two connecting chapters of
two studies conducted for the purpose of this portfolio. The fifth
section includes publications originated from this work. The
connecting chapters are the introduction and conclusion of the
portfolio. The introduction provides context of the topic. The
topic is discussed from a theoretical point of view, followed by
consequences of the association between diabetes mellitus and a
burn injury. The effects on outcomes for patients are presented,
leading to justification of the topic. The concluding chapter
summarises the portfolio, and links the present research to
practice. Recommendations for further research are presented. The
research reports present two individual studies addressing two
different aspects of the topic. Each study is reported in a
separate section with its own structure in terms of page numbers,
references and layout. The first study is a retrospective case note
review of outcomes for patients with diabetes and a foot burn
injury. The second study is a survey of burns units, featuring
management of diabetes when the admission diagnosis is a burn
injury.

women's movement; work and economic security; caregiving; health
and well-being; family and intimacy; and structure, culture, and
agency. All the chapters underline the need for a new perspective
that incorporates the historical and generational shifts in women's
lives and their experience of aging.
A major collection of writings about the transforming power of
education in British prisons. Prison(er) Education comprises key
essays by leading prison education practitioners, academics and
prisoners, including new work on how to evaluate the 'success' of
education within prison by Dr Ray Pawson of Leeds University, and
Stephen Duguid of Simon Fraser University, Canada. A major
challenge to penal policy-makers to accept the value of education -
beyond 'basic skills', and at a time when prison regimes have come
to be dominated by cognitive thinking skills courses. Edited by two
leading experts on prison education in the United Kingdom -
Professor David Wilson of the University of Central England (a
former prison governor and co-presenter of BBC TV's Crime Squad),
and Dr Anne Reuss of the University of Abertay (who previously
taught at HM Prison Full Sutton). Weaving anecdote, research and
evaluation, Prison(er) Education presents for the first time a
comprehensive account of education inside British prisons. At the
heart of the book lies the question 'Who is prison education for:
prison or prisoners?' This book is a major challenge to penal
policy-makers to accept the value of education - beyond 'basic
skills', and at a time when regimes have come to be dominated by
cognitive thinking skills courses. Weaving anecdote with solid
research and evaluation, the book presents for the first time in
Britain a comprehensive account of education inside prisons.
Reviews 'Highly authoritative ...a major challenge': Inside Time
'This book will be of interest to anyone working in the Prison
Service, and to educators in general...Non-academic staff will
recognise the conflicts, constraints, and challenges, that teachers
and learners face...': Sally Bishens, Prison Service Journal 'A
diverse, informative survey...of great importance in more ways then
can easily be listed': Michael McMullan, Justice of the Peace
Editors Prison(er) Education is introduced and concluded by David
Wilson and Anne Reuss (who also contributes a chapter on
'Conducting Research in Prisons') with their vision of the
direction education in prison should take in the years to come.
David Wilson is professor of criminology at the Centre for Criminal
Justice Policy and Research at the University of Central England in
Birmingham. A former prison governor, he is editor of the Howard
Journal and a well-known author, broadcaster and presenter for TV
and radio, including for the BBC, C4 and Sky Television. He has
written three other books for Waterside Press: The Longest
Injustice: The Strange Story of Alex Alexandrowicz (with the
latter), Images of Incarceration: Representations of Prison in Film
and Television Drama (with Sean O'Sullivan) (2004), and Serial
Killers: Hunting Britons and Their Victims 1960-2006 (2007). Dr
Anne Reuss lectures in the Sociology Department of the University
of Abertay in Scotland. Prior to taking up this appointment, she
taught degree level sociology to prisoners at HMP Full Sutton,
which formed the basis of her doctoral dissertation - now regarded
as the benchmark of research in this field.
"State of Mind," the lavishly illustrated companion book to the
exhibition of the same name, investigates California's vital
contributions to Conceptual art--in particular, work that emerged
in the late 1960s among scattered groups of young artists. The
essays reveal connections between the northern and southern
California Conceptual art scenes and argue that Conceptualism's
experimental practices and an array of then-new media--performance,
site-specific installations, film and video, mail art, and artists'
publications--continue to exert an enormous influence on the
artists working today.

Mrs. Doubtfire (1993)
Robin Williams stars as difficult actor and husband Daniel Hillard who separates acrimoniously from his wife (Sally Field) and receives a court order limiting his visits to his children. As a result he dresses up as a Scottish nanny and gets employment with his ex-wife looking after his own kids.
Toys (1992)
When a benevolent toymaker dies, he leaves his factory in the care of his army general brother (Michael Gambon), until his son Leslie (Robin Williams) is mature enough to assume control. The General, however, re-structures the factory, and in a break with tradition begins to manufacture war toys, many of which, Leslie discovers, are more than playthings.
Night at the Museum (2006)
Robin Williams appears alongside Ben Stiller, Mickey Rooney and Dick Van Dyke. Larry Daley (Stiller) is a kind-hearted dreamer who always knew that he was destined for greatness; he just never quite knew how. None of his ideas or inventions have panned out so, with a heavy heart, he takes a regular job as a lowly graveyard-shift security guard at the Museum of Natural History in order to provide a more stable life for himself and his ten-year-old son, Nick (Jake Cherry). On his first night on the job, however, he finds that guardianship of the museum is far from stable. At nightfall an Egyptian spell brings the artefacts and wax figures to life and with Attila the Hun (Patrick Gallagher) declaring war through the hallways, Larry turns to a wax replica of President Roosevelt (Williams) for a little advice on keeping things in order.
Night at the Museum 2 (2009)
Stiller reprises his role as Larry Daley, the hapless security guard who encounters living and breathing museum exhibits. This time round, the Museum of Natural History has been closed for renovations, and the museum pieces moved into federal storage at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, where the collection includes artefacts associated with many of the great figures of American history including Theodore Roosevelt (Williams), Amelia Earhart (Amy Adams), General Custer (Bill Hader) and Al Capone (Jon Bernthal). Larry must infiltrate the museum's tight security to rescue Jedediah (Owen Wilson) and Octavius (Steve Coogan) who have been shipped there by mistake.
