Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This is a Handbook that focuses on two key aspects of our daily lives: sustainability and education. They are presented in a way which develops a sense of internalisation and ownership as the ever-increasing links between the two aspects are fleshed out. The Handbook is well organised and utilises a diverse array of case studies from different regions and continents and a tapestry of different methodologies. This adds to the richness of the work, as it manages to engage the reader with a pragmatic approach to re-orient existing educational practices towards sustainability. The Handbook is a welcome addition to the growing literature on sustainability and education, and offers more than just a glimmer of hope that sustainability can be achieved through education - it offers an actual path.‘Table of ContentsContents: Preface xii Introduction to the Handbook on Teaching and Learning for Sustainable Development 1 Walter Leal Filho and Amanda Lange Salvia PART I TEACHING PRACTICES 1 International service-learning as a driver for sustainability competencies development 10 María Olga Bernaldo and Gonzalo Fernández-Sánchez 2 Information science and informational sustainability: a discipline in construction 29 Marli Dias de Souza Pinto and Genilson Geraldo 3 Insights into early childhood students’ interconnected learning in relation to education for sustainability through creative approaches and hermeneutics in higher education 41 Diane Boyd and Naomi McLeod 4 ‘Bad Plastics – Oceans Free of Plastic’: the role of education 62 Elisabete Linhares and Bento Cavadas 5 Sustainable higher education institutions: promoting a holistic approach 75 Usha Iyer-Raniga and Karishma Kashyap 6 Student-led sustainability actions at Latin American universities: a case study from Chile 93 Claudia Mac-lean, Isabella Villanueva and Jean Hug. 7 Understanding recycling behavior in the university: a case study from Southern Chile 109 Rodrigo Vargas-Gaete, Paula Guarda-Saavedra and Javiera Eskuche 8 Sustainability in Finnish craft education: United Nations Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda as a frame for an overview 121 Niina Väänänen and Sinikka Pöllönen 9 Infusing education for sustainable development (ESD) into curricula: teacher educators’ experiences within the School of Education at The University of the West Indies, Jamaica 133 Carmel Roofe, Therese Ferguson, Carol Hordatt Gentles, Sharon Bramwell-Lalor, Loraine D.

Book SynopsisTrade Review'Teaching and Learning in Environmental Law is a landmark contribution to environmental law scholarship as the first book to be devoted entirely to different teaching methodologies for environmental law. The editors and authors are leading names and recognized professors of environmental law. This book will quickly become an essential resource for environmental law scholars in all parts of the world and from all legal systems engaged in the teaching of environmental law.' -- Nilüfer Oral, Centre for International Law, National University of Singapore, Singapore and Member of the UN International Law Commission'This book represents a real breakthrough. It is the first to explore in depth how to overcome the daunting challenges of teaching environmental law. The field's rapid growth during the last half century has made it more important than ever, but also more difficult, to understand how law seeks to combat environmental problems. The book examines a rich variety of approaches to teaching environmental law through the experienced eyes of a multinational group of outstanding teachers and scholars. It offers fresh insights that will be of great value no matter how long one has been teaching in this field.' -- Robert Percival, University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law, US'Teaching and Learning in Environmental Law is a highly recommended book for all teachers of environmental law around the world. This edited collection contains carefully curated articles showing a wide range of teaching methodologies that could be applied in differing contexts. Considering the many challenges that frequently arise in teaching environmental law, this book reveals fresh perspectives and inspiring accounts which were gained from experience by the different contributors in the book. The book provides a compilation of narratives and lessons from tried-and-tested learning approaches that takes one inside and beyond the four walls of the classroom.For most teachers, competence in teaching is often honed by experience. This book, therefore, allows one to embark on a journey of self-reflection as one sifts through the information shared by each contributor. In the end, one emerges hopeful, inspired and ready to take on the challenges of teaching environmental law in a complex, fast-changing world. Indeed, many teachers of environmental law will greatly benefit from the treasure trove of teaching materials found in this book.Environmental law has become a widely recognized discipline in legal education today. It is, thus, vital for teachers of environmental law to teach and learn how to be effective teachers in environmental law. The Teaching and Learning in Environmental Law book can be an essential part of the teaching arsenal of every teacher of environmental law.' -- Rose-Liza Eisma-Osorio, University of Cebu School of Law, Philippines'In all modern societies, the protection of the environment lies mainly in the hands of public authorities, which grant permits, plan and realise infrastructure projects, fight - or do not fight - pollution, and deal with resource issues. This means that a great number of those who study environmental law will later occupy posts in transport, energy, local administrations or in economy. It is vital that they understand ecological concerns, environmental impairment and the need to integrate environmental issues into their day-to-day decisions.This book offers a wealth of new ideas for how to teach environmental law in a way that reaches the mind and at the same time the heart of students. The examples stem mainly from Anglo-Saxon countries, but offer enough flexible ways of teaching that they are of use to environmental teachers all over the world. And the examples are not limited to environmental law teaching and learning: indeed, as the protection of our planet is of general vital interest, any teacher may usefully adapt his teaching methods to examples that are given in the book, whether he teaches at a high school, a primary school, a university or in vocational courses. The whole book centers around the question of how to bring the message of the necessity to conserve this planet into the minds and hearts of the students.A very welcome and necessary book, which deserves - and needs! - many readers and is indispensable for any teacher of environmental policy, law, economy, or science.' -- Ludwig Krämer, Derecho y Medio Ambiente S.L., Spain

Book SynopsisPolitical theory deals with profound questions about human nature, political principles, and the limits of knowledge. In Teaching Political Theory, Nicholas Tampio shows how political theorists may take a pluralistic approach to help students investigate the deepest levels of political life.Trade Review‘This book is exceptionally impressive in its breadth - contemporary and historical, Western and non-Western, analytical and critical/continental. This is the future of political theory.’ -- Adrian Blau, King's College London, UK‘This book is an innovative call for political theorists to pluralize their teaching styles, offering practical tips to broaden our pedagogical horizons. Embracing an astonishingly wide range of texts and traditions with precision, energy, and ease, Nicholas Tampio not only practices the pluralism he preaches but he also shares a wealth of suggestions to keep pace with our changing times. With his finger on the pulse of the latest developments in political theory, this is also a spirited defense of political theory as a discipline with teaching needs all its own.’ -- Katherine Goktepe, Yasar University, Turkey‘In this book, Nicholas Tampio presents an innovative example of teaching Chinese political thought. By meticulously tracing the philosophical and political origins of the Chinese philosophers and creatively engaging them in conversation with their Western peers, Nicholas Tampio methodically demonstrates that a comparative approach in teaching classical Chinese philosophy can recast our view of how Chinese philosophy engages political issues across space and time. The book will be a welcome source for anyone interested in teaching Chinese and comparative political theory.’ -- Peng Yu, Earlham College, US‘It is rare to encounter a text that is both intellectually engaging and carefully and sensitively crafted around the challenges of teaching political theory.

Book SynopsisTrade Review'This timely collection of stimulating essays does more than fill a gap in the literature; it fills an aching void in the imagination of far too many intellectual property teachers. Teaching Intellectual Property Law: Strategy and Management invites a challenge to traditional IP pedagogy that should be hard to resist.' -- Professor Jeremy Phillips, founder of #IPKat‘This is an excellent tome that is a delight to read and absorb. The work contains top-quality contributions from established scholars and research. The book invites us to consider how we can adopt a multidisciplinary approach when conveying Intellectual property law to a varied audience. The work offers excellent insights on the “modern student” who is used to having everything a click away. How do we intellectual property aficionados enthuse such listeners? Dip in this book to discover how to incorporate learning outcomes or combat modern technology-based challenges (such as Chat GPT ). The various chapters offer thoughtful and clear guidelines as to how we engage with students from diverse disciplinary backgrounds, using a plethora of approaches from drum kits to card games to empirical research. It is an essential reading for both experienced practitioners and scholars, but especially vital for early career researchers and teachers.’ -- Uma Suthersanen, Queen Mary University of London, UKTable of ContentsContents: PART I INTRODUCTION TO TEACHING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW, STRATEGY AND MANAGEMENT Introduction 2 Sabine Jacques and Ruth Soetendorp PART II STRENGTHENING STUDENT ENGAGEMENT 1 Overcoming resistance to law on non-law modules 29 Ruth Soetendorp 2 Developing twenty-first century skills for creativity and innovation: the case of the entrepreneurial educator in raising learner awareness of intellectual property 46 Kathryn Penaluna and Andrew Penaluna 3 Teaching IP to science students, especially in the degree of biotechnology 60 Mercedes Curto Polo 4 Teaching copyright with musical instruments: using the drum kit to deepen learning 70 Nick Scharf 5 Alternance in synchronous e-teaching with large groups 84 Laurent Manderieux and Gabriele Gagliani PART III DEVELOPING A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY APPROACH 6 To boldly go: empirical research in intellectual property rights teaching 98 Smita Kheria 7 Interdisciplinary teaching through a combination of methods: IP licensing for non-law students 117 Rumyana Brestnichka, Fanny Koleva and Miglena Molhova-Vladova 8 Arts in IP law programmes: employing arts study, practice and pedagogy in law programmes – when students become creators 128 Andrea Wallace 9 IP education: an ethics and sustainability perspective 146 Helen Gubby 10 Integrating sustainable development awareness in intellectual property law education 154 Janice Denoncourt PART IV ACCENT ON COLLABORATIVE ENVIRONMENTS 11 Peer-assisted learning in intellectual property law: a bridge to solidifying learning and enhancing student experience 177 William Page, Jocelyn Bosse and Adrian Aronsson-Storrier 12 Applying knowledge in practice with IP pro bono 193 Hayleigh Bosher 13 Collaborative intellectual property learning: law and design-engineering students bring IP law to life 206 Dinusha Mendis PART V INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGICAL METHODS 14 Playing the IP game: IntangAbility 221 Sabine Jacques 15 Using social media in IP teaching: a review of the use of social media as a learning and teaching tool 235 Joe Sekhon 16 Teaching with artificial intelligence and virtual reality for experiential learning 254 Caroline Coles PART VI ADVANCING EMPLOYABILITY-RELATED SKILLS 17 The value of a good story: involving inventors and entrepreneurs in higher education as a tool to support teaching and learning 267 Mandy Haberman 18 IP outside the textbook: professional networking activities in the IP curriculum 275 Eleonora Rosati 19 Private practitioner’s pragmatic approach fits the business minded student’s requirements 284 Agathe Michel-de Cazotte 20 Teaching IP management to engineers, scientists, entrepreneurs and managers 290 Peter van Dongen PART VII FURTHER AVAILABLE RESOURCES 21 A moveable brownbag 298 Brian L.

Book SynopsisTrade Review‘This extremely readable book shows geography to be the world subject. More than this, it argues that “students who learn to think geographically … discover a new way of seeing the world”. In the context of Anthropocene, the educational potential of geography is therefore vast – but is not guaranteed. This book expertly melds theoretical perspectives about ‘learning’ with some brilliant examples of structured teaching and thus makes a fine contribution to the development of geography education in practice.’ -- David Lambert, UCL Institute of Education, UK‘There has arguably never been a more urgent need for young people to learn how to think geographically at a high level of proficiency.

Book SynopsisThis is a unique book with nearly 1000 problems and 50 case studies on open-ended problems in every key topic in chemical engineering that helps to better prepare chemical engineers for the future. The term open-ended problem basically describes an approach to the solution of a problem and/or situation for which there is not a unique solution. The Introduction to the general subject of open-ended problems is followed by 22 chapters, each of which addresses a traditional chemical engineering or chemical engineering-related topic. Each of these chapters contain a brief overview of the subject matter of concern, e.g., thermodynamics, which is followed by sample open-ended problems that have been solved (by the authors) employing one of the many possible approaches to the solutions. This is then followed by approximately 40-45 open-ended problems with no solutions (although many of the authors'' solutions are available for those who adopt the book for classroom or trainingTable
