In this book, I have sought to share my living educational theory based on my 30-plus years of teaching and reflection on my practice to create pedagogical thoughtfulness in my readers and influence their practice. I have three target audiences; students, pre-service and in-service teachers and the community of educational researchers. In the first section I describe my practice. I believe that each student has a different learning profile when it comes to how information is received, processed and ultimately turned into knowledge. This section also acts as a memoir as I take the opportunity to acknowledge the people who have influenced my journey. In the second section, I delve into the academic literature to explore the theory of critical constructivism that underlies my practice which I encountered in my post-graduate studies.Ultimately, the book focuses on how teachers can create space where students are encouraged to question, use their creativity and imagination, and learn from mistakes. It is about engagement - engagement of students as active participants in their learning journey and knowledge construction, and better engagement of teachers to act as their guides.

In the late twenty-first century, you will find a very different world. Little is as it used to be, and many are not what they seem. Kendrick Gallmon, survivor of an infamous research facility called the Maze, is trying to pick up the pieces of his life, even though he knows the Labrat augments are slowly killing him. Then one day his heart stops beating, forever, and a ghost urges him to return to the source of all his nightmares, a long-abandoned military complex filled with entirely real voices of the dead.
Violence Against Lesbians and Gay Men is the first book to reveal the shocking problem of anti-gay/lesbian violence. Beginning with an overview of the emergence of lesbian and gay neighborhoods in major U.S. cities after World War II, Comstock describes how the increased visibility of lesbians and gay men was followed by physical attacks that were illegal but socially sanctioned. He presents results of his survey on present-day violence and then studies the perpetrators, using information supplied by survey participants as well as reports from the media, court records, and personal interviews. Finally, Comstock proposes a sociological explanation for the fact that adolescent males are the group most prone to violence against lesbians and gay men.
Japan's transformation from an isolated society to a military empire and, after a crushing defeat in World War II, into one of the world's foremost economic powers is one of the most fascinating stories of modern history. Although much has been written about modern Japan, no reference book has analyzed its political, economic, social, and cultural history to render a holistic account of the sweeping changes Japan has undergone since 1850. Now, with The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History, Gary D. Allinson presents this much-needed learning resource for students of Japanese society and for lay readers seeking to better understand the economic powerhouse of East Asia during the 150 years that have catapulted it to international preeminence. The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History is a unique work in which readers will find: * a balanced narrative treating each facet of Japanese history-political, social, economic, and cultural-across four periods covering the years from 1850 to the present; * an encyclopedia-style topical compendium including more than 150 entries on such key subjects as Japan's emperors, political leaders, business enterprises, social organizations, and leading writers; * excerpts from important historical documents; * a chronology and list of prime ministers, providing easy reference to important historical dates, periods, and people; * an annotated guide to further research, including print, film, and electronic resources. Readily accessible to all readers, Allinson's reference will be one that citizens, teachers, students, and academicians will consult often as they seek information on scores of topics. The Columbia Guide to Modern Japanese History will endure as a valuable reference and learning tool for many years to come.
