Taking a critical reflection approach, this book informs fledgling teachers about the culture of the community, the school, home cultures, interests, learning styles, and the abilities of their future students. Exercises within the book and the innovative Virtual Classroom website encourage teaching students to watch, record best practice, and draw upon sound theoretical knowledge to create engaging teaching practices.

Learning to Teach: New Times, New Practices

Lang, Josephine

Learning to Teach encourages the students to engage in critical reflection of teaching practices by immersing themselves in the Lathner Primary virtual school. The reader is positioned as a first year teacher who embarks on a new career at Lathner Primary. They work with Anna Jones, her class, and the other teachers around Lathner to help develop their ability to analyze scenarios and critically reflect on their own unexamined assumptions. Exercises within the book combine with other learning tools such as assorted documents from Lathner, including journal entries and letters from the school, 'Pause, Reflect, Record' and 'Taking Action' sections to assist students to practice their classroom skills. There are also notes from the authors discussing their perspectives and experiences of the subject matter. There are extensive resources to use with the book available at http://emedia.rmit.edu.au/lathnervirtualschool/.

Children in the Anthropocene: Rethinking Sustainability and Child Friendliness in Cities (Palgrave Studies on Children and Development)

This book elaborates the need, in a rapidly urbanizing world, for recognition of the ecological communities we inhabit in cities and for the development of an ethics for all entities (human and non-human) in this context. Children and their entangled relations with the human and more-than-human world are located centrally to the research on cities in Bolivia and Kazakhstan, which investigates the future challenges of the Anthropocene. The author explores these relations by employing techniques of intra-action, diffraction and onto-ethnography in order to reveal the complexities of children’s lives. These tools are supported by a theoretical framing that draws on posthumanist and new materialist literature. Through rich and complex stories of space-time-mattering in cities, this work connects children’s voices with a host of others to address the question of what it means to be a child in the Anthropocene.

This book is dedicated to the stroke survivors both near and far who I have had the privilege of working with over my entire career. I also dedicate this book to my previous students as far away as China who welcomed the opportunity to learn effective stroke rehabilitation techniques.This book is for anyone who wants to know a great place to start when developing a stroke rehabilitation program.This is not a stroke exercise book nor a medical explanation of stroke.This book is intended to be an eye opener. It is a book to help explain how the body moves when there has been no neurological injury.Why consider these things? Because I believe stroke exercises, whatever kind is chosen, should be about helping stroke survivors function at their highest level. Rehabilitation should help open up new pathways for ongoing recovery. Learning how the body moved before the stroke gives direction in how movement needs to be regained.I believe when it comes to regaining more normal function after a stroke...there is a Hero.

In the aftermath of the "Deepwater Horizon" oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the need arose for experimental data on oil and gas hydrodynamics and particle formation under deep-sea conditions. This work presents a new High-Pressure Test Center that allows for experimental oil spill research under artificial deep-sea conditions. It also contains experimental data on drop formation processes and oil drop size distributions generated within this test center and a modeling approach based on the turbulent energy dissipation that has been developed to predict the droplet sizes of an oil-and-gas jet under high pressure.

<div>This book is a genealogical foregrounding and performance of conceptions of children and their childhoods over time. We acknowledge that children's lives are embedded in worlds both inside and outside of structured schooling or institutional settings, and that this relationality informs how we think about what it means to be a child living and experiencing childhood. The book maps the field by taking up a cross-disciplinary, genealogical niche to offer both an introduction to theoretical underpinnings of emerging theories and concepts, and to provide hands-on examples of how they might play out. This book positions children and their everyday lived childhoods in the Anthropocene and focuses on the interface of children's being in the everyday spaces and places of contemporary communities and societies. In particular this book examines how the shift towards posthuman and new materialist perspectives continues to challenge dominant developmental, social constructivist and structuralist theoretical approaches in diverse ways, to help us to understand contemporary constructions of childhoods. It recognises that while such dominant approaches have long been shown to limit the complexity of what it means to be a child living in the contemporary world, the traditions of many Eurocentric theories have not addressed the diversity of children's lives in the majority of countries or in the Global South.&nbsp;</div>
