Written in an engaging and accessible style, students will learn the theory and its practical applications for everyday life through a wealth of examples and illustrations.This first edition has been updated and adapted for the UK, European, South African and Middle Eastern markets, drawing on recent research and relevant examples from these regions to enable students to fully relate to the topics discussed.

This book interrogates white responses to black-led movements for racial justice. It probes reactions which often prevent white people from according to black activists the full range of human emotion and expression, including joy, anger, mourning, and political action.

"Vad?" sa Smilla och kröp ner till mig på golvet. "Anabolasnubbarna", sa jag. "De kommer snart och tar mig." Hon bara flinade. "Din tjej har en pistol. Och är orädd och crazy.

This book presents a comprehensive overview of extant literature on competence-based vocational and professional education since the introduction of the competence concept in the 1950s. To structure the fi eld, the book distinguishes between three approaches to defi ning competence, based on 1.functional behaviourism, 2. integrated occupationalism, and 3. situated professionalism. It also distinguishes between two ways of operationalizing competence: 1. behaviour-oriented generic, and 2. task-oriented specifi c competence. Lastly, it identifi es three kinds of competencies, related to: 1. specific activities, 2. known jobs, and 3. the unknown future. Competence for the unknown future must receive more attention, as our world is rapidly evolving and there are many `glocal' challenges which call for innovation and a profound transformation of policies and practices. Th e book presents a range of diff erent approaches to competence-based education, and demonstrates that competencebased education is a worldwide innovation, which is institutionalized in various ways. It presents the major theories and policies, specifi c components of educational systems, such as recognition, accreditation, modelling and assessment, and developments in discipline-oriented and transversal competence domains. Th e book concludes by synthesizing the diff erent perspectives with the intention to contribute to further improving vocational and professional education policy and practice.Joao Santos, Deputy Head of Unit C5, Vocational Training and Adult Education, Directorate General for Employment, Social Aff airs and Inclusion, European Commission: "This comprehensive work on competence-based education led by Martin Mulder, provides an excellent and timely contribution to the current debate on a New Skills Agenda for Europe, and the challenge of bridging the employment and education and training worlds closer together. Th is book will infl uence our work aimed at improving the relevance of vocational education to support initial and continuing vocational education and training policy and practice aimed at strengthening the key competencies for the 21st century."Prof. Dr. Reinhold Weiss, Deputy President and Head of the Research, Federal Institute for Vocational Education and Training (BIBB), Bonn, Germany: "This book illustrates that the idea and concept of competence is not only a buzzword in educational debates but key to innovative pedagogical thinking as well as educational practice."Prof. Dr. Johanna Lasonen, College of Education, University of South Florida, Tampa, USA: "Competence-based Vocational and Professional Education is one of the most important multi-disciplinary book in education and training. Th is path-breaking book off ers a timely, rich and global perspective on the fi eld. Th e book is a good resource for practitioners, policymakers and researchers."

Mat och livsmedel står i centrum för samhällsdebatten, inte sällan utifrån matens etiska aspekter. Hur vill vi att maten ska produceras för att det ska kännas bra i magen? Hur påverkas vår miljö och klimatet av livsmedelsproduktionen? Hur ser de globala utmaningarna för livsmedelsförsörjningen ut, både för konsumenter och producenter världen över? Hur ser vi på relationen mellan vår mat och villkoren för djuren? Sammantaget handlar det om maten och framtiden, eller maten i framtiden.

Sixteen-year-old Nicholas Cox is the illegitimate son of a retired fencing champion who dreams of getting the proper training he could never afford. After earning a place on the elite Kings Row fencing team, Nicholas must prove himself to his rival, Seiji Katayma, and navigate the clashes, friendships, and relationships between his teammates on the road to state championships—where Nicholas might finally have the chance to spar with his golden-boy half-brother. Coach Williams decides to take advantage of the boys' morale after a recent victory and assigns them a course of team building exercises to further deepen their bonds. It takes a shoplifting scandal, a couple of moonlit forest strolls, several hilariously bad dates, and a whole lot of introspection for the team to realize they are stronger together than they could ever be apart. The first installment of this enticing original YA novel series by Sarah Rees Brennan, rich with casual diversity and queer self-discovery, explores never-before-seen drama inspired by C.S. Pacat's critically acclaimed Fence comic series and boasts original cover and interior art by Johanna The Mad.

Utstillingen på Blaafarveværket er en reise gjennom 1800-tallet. Kunsten fra dette århundret har satt dype spor i vår kulturhistorie. Det var først på begynnelsen av 1800-tallet at kunstnere i Norge ble definert som kunstnere fremfor håndverkere. Maleriene var et viktig bidrag til grunnmuren for norsk kultur og identitet frem mot unionsoppløsningen og selvstendigheten i 1905. Utstillingen er en del av feiringen av Blaafarveværkets grunnlegger, Tone Sinding Steinsvik, som er intervjuet av Vidar Sandem for boken. En særskilt hilsen fra Nasjonalmuseets direktør Karin Hindsbo foreligger. I et nært samarbeid mellom Blaafarveværket og Nasjonalmuseet er utstillingen kommet i stand, og viser noe av det ypperste innenfor norsk billedkunst. Utstillingen viser til sammen 60 verker av Harriet Backer, Christian Krohg, Oda Krohg, Kalle Løchen, Eilif Peterssen, Edvard Munch, Harald Sohlberg, Lars Hertervig, Hans Gude, Th. Kittelsen, Thomas Fearnley, J.C. Dahl, Knud Baade, Peder Balke, Frits Thaulow, Signe Scheel, P.S. Krøyer, Chr. Skredsvig, Sofie Werenskiold, Kitty L. Kielland, Lars Jorde, Johanna Marianne Freystein, Evelina Stading, August Cappelen, Carl Sundt-Hansen, Annette Anker, Adolph Tidemand, Erik Werenskiold, Asta Nørregaard, Gerhard Munthe og Halfdan Egedius. Hvert enkelt bilde i utstillingen er illustrert og belyses gjennom nyskrevne tekster av Mai Britt Guleng, Vibeke Waallann Hansen, Sandra Lorentzen og Sverre Følstad. Summary in English.

When an American mother's three adopted children reach their teens, they grow curious about their Korean heritage. A much-anticipated letter from Korea fails to satisfy them but sparks memories in the eldest. So begins the heartbreaking and inspiring tale of their birth mother's life as their adoptive mother imagines it. Abandoned as a baby and then again and again, Mi Sook is raised in a Korean coffee shop by its string of owner-mothers. She grows to adulthood fiercely independent and eventually comes to manage the shop. But her marriage to Kun Soo, with whom she has three children, begins a series of events that ultimately wrench her babies from her arms. Deceived by Kun Soo and his well-intentioned mother, and unsupported by a rigidly Confucian culture, Mi Sook emerges as a tragic and heroic figure who embodies the rich complexities of a nation -- and of the heart.

Educators and librarians extol the benefits of comics reading, and increasingly, children's and YA comics and comics hybrids have won major prizes, including the Printz Award and the National Book Award. Despite the popularity and influence of children's and YA graphic novels, the genre has not received adequate scholarly attention.Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults is the first book to offer a critical examination of children's and YA comics. The anthology is divided into five sections, structure and narration; transmedia; pedagogy; gender and sexuality; and identity, that reflect crucial issues and recurring topics in comics scholarship during the twenty-first century. The contributors are likewise drawn from a diverse array of disciplines-English, education, library science, and fine arts. Collectively, they analyze a variety of contemporary comics, including such highly popular series as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Lumberjanes; Eisner award-winning graphic novels by Gene Luen Yang, Nate Powell, Mariko Tamaki, and Jillian Tamaki; as well as volumes frequently challenged for use in secondary classrooms, such as Raina Telgemeier's Drama and Sherman Alexie's The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian.

Published in 1998, this is a fundamental re-assessment of the world-view of the alchemists, natural philosophers and intelligencers of the mid 17th century. Based almost entirely upon the extensive and hitherto little-researched manuscript archive of Samuel Hartlib, it charts and contextualises the personal and intellectual history of Johann Moriaen (c.1592-1668), a Dutch-German alchemist and natural philosopher. Moriaen was closely acquainted with many of the leading thinkers and experimenters of his time, including Rene Descartes, J.A. Comenius, J.R. Glauber and J.S. KA1/4ffler. His detailed reports of relations with these figures and his response to their work provide a uniquely informed insight into the world of alchemy and natural philosophy. This study also illuminates the nature and mechanisms of intellectual and technological exchanges between Germany, The Netherlands and England.

Students and lecturers alike appreciate its lively, practical approach, its very clear and elegant writing, its use of clever examples of students' own work and its lucid explanations of the theory underpinning methods and methodologies. This new, third edition is a real triumph. It's more comprehensive and it's bang up to date, with three additional new chapters, more examples of student projects, and overall an even more systematic approach. It is, in my view, the most approachable and person-friendly text around introducing qualitative research in psychology, and a great opportunity to 'boldly go', have adventures, and really get to grips with doing qualitative research."</b><br>Wendy Stainton Rogers, Professor Emerita, Faculty of Health and Social Care, The Open University, UK</i></p>

Marguerite Duras døde 3. mars 1996. Tre dager før avsluttet hun sin siste bok - Det er alt - en dagbok skrevet i dialog med Yann Andréa Steiner. Nå utgir TransFe:r Forlag boka for første gang i norsk oversettelse ved Silje Aanes Fagerlund og med etterord av Anne Helene Guddal. Farvel. Farvel til ingen. Selv ikke til deg. Det er over. Ingenting finnes. Siden må bli ferdig. Kom nå. Vi må dra. Det er alt (C'est tout) er en dagbok fra de to siste leveårene til Marguerite Duras (1914-1996). Ettersom hun ikke lenger kan skrive selv, er teksten nedskrevet av den yngre partneren Yann Andréa Steiner. Teksten tar dels form av en dialog med ham, og dels som monologiske ytringer. Det er alt handler først og fremst om døden - den uunngåelige døden, den definitive slutten som nærmer seg. Men her også følelsesladde utsagn om kjærlighet, begjær, barndommen i Indokina og forfatterens mor - og, ikke minst, refleksjoner rundt livet som skrivende. Stilen er utpreget litterær, konsentrert og poetisk, med en tidvis skarp og narsissistisk tone, og boka skapte en viss polemikk i Frankrike da den utkom. Det er alt er oversatt av Silje Aanes Fagerlund, og inneholder dessuten et etterord av poeten og essayisten Anne Helene Guddal - nylig Bragepris-nominert for diktsamlingen Døden og andre tiggere. Etterordet er en personlig og engasjert inngang til Det er alt, samtidig som den ser boka i lys av Duras' øvrige forfatterskap. Design og sats er ved Johanne Hjorthol.
