New perspectives on bullying

"This book provides a useful round-up of studies that help the reader understand what constitutes bullying (a much-debated point), the characteristics of bullies and children who are targeted, patterns of behaviour and common outcomes for the children involved, as well as what inhibits many schools from formulating effective policy." Children &amp; Young People Now<ul>
<li>What is bullying? </li>
<li>What can we learn from research findings? </li>
<li>What are the risk factors for bullying or being bullied? </li>
<li>How can we take account of the voice of the child? </li>
<li>How can educators, policy-makers, health professionals and parents work together with children and young people to prevent and reduce bullying?</li>
</ul> This book provides a valuable resource for anyone responsible for the emotional health and well-being of children and young people. The authors focus on the importance of fostering positive relationships in the school community as a whole, so that young people and adults feel empowered to challenge bullying when they encounter it and protect those involved. Using case studies of real experiences, innovative practice, key research findings and perspectives from children and young people themselves, the authors provide perceptive insights into the positive ways of relating to others that are essential if we are to address the issue of bullying successfully. The material outlined in the book is directly linked to the new agenda for change in meeting the needs of the child, empowering children to be consulted and to take responsibility for issues that affect them. It explores a range of effective interventions that can counteract bullying - including restorative approaches; peer mediation; narrative approaches; and cyber support.
 Key features include:

<li>Examples of effective practice </li>
<li>Summaries of key research findings </li>
<li>Children’s views and experiences </li>

From Birth to Sixteen

This second edition of "Understanding Children's Development" provides an overview of child development for those new to the study of psychology. Revised and updated to take account of new research, it includes two completely new chapters - "Becoming Socially Aware" and "Learning in Social Context". Its opening section orientates the reader to the way in which psychologists study developmental processes and surveys the biological and evolutionary background of behavioural development. Substantial new material in Chapter Two reviews the recent work in "mindreading" in primates, which links to similar work on theory of mind in children (discussed later in the book). "Understanding Children's Development" goes on to consider all of the major aspects of development including social, moral and cognitive development. Emphasizing the strengths and weaknesses of different kinds of psychological research, the authors give a sense of developmental psychology by describing in each chapter particularly important and revealing case studies. They also include ideas for classroom discussion and examples of practical exercises.

This book examines the study of natural history in the Spanish empire in the years 1750-1850. During this period, Spain made strenuous efforts to survey, inventory and exploit the natural productions of her overseas possessions, orchestrating a serries of scientific expeditions and cultivating and displaying American fauna and flora in metropolitan gardens and museums. This book assesses the cultural significance of natural history, emphasising the figurative and utilitarian value with which eighteenth-century Spaniards invested natural objects, from globetrotting elephants to three-legged chickens. It considers how the creation, legitimisation and dissemination of scientific knowledge reflected broader questions of imperial power and national identity. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and students of Spanish and Latin American History, the History of Science and Imperial Culture
