The second edition of this exceptionally lucid and practical assessment text provides a wealth of powerful concrete examples that help students to understand assessment concepts and to effectively use assessment to support learning. The book offers unique coverage of ways to use assessment to support student learning across the developmental span from Kindergarten through high school. Rather than treat assessment separately from instruction, this book's unique approach treats assessment as a central factor in the life of a teacher every day, whether it's part of planning instruction, composing small study groups, or communicating test results to pupils, parents and principals. The book also provides more coverage than any other classroom assessment text of how to adapt assessment to the needs of students with disabilities and students whose first language is not English.

The scope of this volume is intentionally broad. We review applications of spatially realistic occupancy models and age- or stage-structured demographic models as well as individual-based demographic models. These three main Population Viability Analysis (PVA) approaches initially are compared with other conservation assessment tools in an overview by Akcakaya, Lacy and Sjogren-Gulve and Hanski, with a special chapter on plant PVAs by Menges, all using illustrative examples. Fleishman et al. subsequently outline how nested subsets analyses can help discern focal species, taxa whose habitat requirements may encompass those of larger species groups and can be subjected to PVAs. Kindvall then compares the predictive accuracy of simpler occupancy models versus a democratic model for predicting local extinctions and colonizations in a bush-cricket metapopulation. Thereafter, four case studies which use the three model categories are presented (papers by Berglind, Ebenhard, Lennartsson, and Vos et al.). The volume concludes with Gardenfors' paper on the use of PVAs in the classification of threatened species, and Lacy's presentation of the structure and logic of VORTEX, a widely used demographic and genetic PVA model.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Antony and Cleopatra is one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies: a spectacular, widely-ranging drama of love and war, passion and politics. Antony is divided between the responsibilities of imperial power and the intensities of his sexual relationship with Cleopatra. She, variously generous and ruthless, loving and jealous, petulant and majestic, emerges as Shakespeare's most complex depiction of a woman: ‘Age cannot wither her, nor custom staleHer infinite variety.’ Unsurpassed in sumptous eloquence and powerful characterisation, Anthony and Cleopatra deservedly retains its popularity in the theatre. Its insights into the corruptions of power and the ambiguities of desire remain timely. This volume is part of the Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, in which each volume has been edited by Cedric Watts. Readers wishing to know more of Cedric Watts’ work should buy his ‘Shakespeare Puzzles’, published by PublishNation (ISBN 978-1-291-66410-2), available from Amazon (both in printed and Kindle editions) and through all good bookshops.

Jeremia erlebte so einschneidende Erlebnisse wie die Kultzentralisation Josias, den Niedergang des assyrischen Reiches und den Aufstieg der babylonischen Macht sowie die erste Eroberung und endgÃ"ltige Zerstörung Jerusalems.

The review exercises bring the experiences of our daily lives to full awareness. By directing our attentive gaze to what has happened - whether in a single day or in whole phases of life - we kindle light in our will. Undertaking such a review backwards, in reverse sequence, or from an 'external perspective', requires a huge inner effort as we establish distance between ourselves and our daily experiences. In this essential handbook the editor has drawn together virtually all Rudolf Steiner's statements on the review exercises, supporting them with commentary and notes. Described from different perspectives and approaches, there are a surprising range of suggestions for carrying them out. Individual chapters focus on reviewing the day (transforming the power of memory); reviewing events in your life (awakening the higher self); reviewing the other's perspective (awakening social impulses); exercises in thinking backwards (illuminating the will); and more.

‘If the essence of drama is conflict, the crossing of wills, of culture versus barbarism, the Norwegians have a natural spring to tap into – and it is explosive.’ – Line Rosvoll, Artistic Director of the Norwegian Centre of New Playwriting, from her Introduction. The Oberon Anthology of Contemporary Norwegian Plays brings together a selection of exciting playwrights reflecting the breadth and vitality of Norwegian theatre’s booming new writing scene. Six plays, translated by Neil Howard and published for the first time in English, demonstrate a common willingness to push formal boundaries and to find new ways to tackle the universal experiences of the human condition; grief and loss, violence, manipulation, abuse and despair.

Answering frequently asked questions about Early Childhood Education and Childcare (ECEC) in Canada, this accessible investigation seeks to establish proper standards for childcare programs, kindergartens, and nursery schools, thereby supporting the development of youth and accommodating parents who work or study. Questions covered include Why doesn't Canada have an ECEC system, even though other countries do? What is missing in Canada's ECEC landscape and why? and Is ECEC primarily a public good, a private family responsibility, or an opportunity for profit-making? Identifying this system as a political issue, this argument proposes that Canada requires an integrated system of services, stating that the absence of universal public funding is detrimental to the future of the country's families, women, and children. Additional topics discussed include an analysis of the history of ECEC, politics and policies, and suggested improvements for the future.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World''The great poet of the city. He was created by London' Peter AckroydOur Mutual Friend centres on an inheritance - Old Harmon's profitable dust heaps - and its legatees: young John Harmon, presumed drowned when a body is pulled out of the Thames, and kindly dustman Mr Boffin, to whom the fortune defaults. With brilliant satire, Dickens portrays a dark, macabre London, inhabited by such disparate characters as Gaffer Hexam, scavenging the river for corpses; enchanting, mercenary Bella Wilfer; the social-climbing Veneerings; and the unscrupulous street-trader Silas Wegg. Dickens's last completed novel is richly symbolic in its vision of death and renewal in a city dominated by the fetid Thames, and of the corrupting power of money.Edited with an Introduction and Notes by Adrian Poole

Haim Omers erstes Werk »Autorität ohne Gewalt« erschien 2002 auf Deutsch, das kurze Zeit später veröffentlichte Buch »Autorität durch Beziehung« wird nun auch schon seit nahezu zwanzig Jahren nachgefragt. Das Konzept, die Prinzipien des gewaltlosen Widerstands in Therapie und Beratung einzuführen, ist inzwischen theoretisch und empirisch besser fundiert und hat Eingang in eine Vielzahl neuer Anwendungsfelder gefunden. All dies ist genug Anlass für ein Update zur Entwicklung des Ansatzes, der heute knapp mit dem Begriff »Neue Autorität« gefasst wird. Haim Omer legt in seinem zehnten Buch bei Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, in bewährter Co-Autorenschaft mit Arist von Schlippe, ein Werk vor, das dezidiert die Entwicklung von »elterlicher Präsenz« bis hin zur »Ankerfunktion« nachzeichnet. Die Bandbreite der Anwendungsfelder wird dargestellt, Forschungsergebnisse sowie Wirksamkeitsnachweise werden referiert. So wird der Anspruch eines Handbuchs ganz und gar erfüllt. Haim Omer legt eine inspirierende Zusammenschau seines Ansatzes vor, der sich in der konkreten Praxis seiner Teams über Jahrzehnte immer weiter ausdifferenziert hat. Der »aktuelle Stand« zeigt einmal mehr den hohen Anspruch Omers an die Achtung vor den Problemen von Eltern, Kindern, Jugendlichen, jungen Erwachsenen, aber auch anderen Erziehungspersonen bis hin zu Problemkonstellationen in gemeinwesenorientierten Zusammenhängen, sowie den Respekt vor der Autonomie derjenigen, die im Fokus von Hilfsangeboten stehen. Es gibt kein grundlegenderes Werk zur „Neuen Autorität“ in allen Facetten der Entwicklung und Anwendung.

By the close of the last millennium Dorling Kindersley had become one of the most recognisable brands in publishing. Across the range of illustrated household reference titles, from children's books to travel guides, its distinctive look of colourful images cut out against a white background could be seen on bookshelves throughout the country - and indeed the publishing world. Apart from three minor acquisitions, DK had grown organically over 25 years to be a publicly listed company with a turnover of GBP200 million, some 1500 employees, publishing arms across the English language markets, a 50-strong international sales force that dealt with more than 400 publishers, a direct selling business with 30,000 independent distributors, and had expanded its skills for delivering handsomely designed reference books into the new media of videos, CD-ROMs and online educational content. Then a series of catastrophic printing decisions brought the company to its knees, and ultimately into the arms of Pearson. Christopher Davis is uniquely positioned to tell the story of DK's rise and fall. He joined the company at its foundation and in due course became Group Publisher.The narrative he provides is a dual one, encompassing the visionary genius of Peter Kindersley and the publishing revolution he fomented, and charting the remarkable, sometimes precarious, frequently hilarious, roller-coaster ride as the company grew from a handful of people in a studio in South London to a substantial global business. In the rapidly changing publishing climate of today, this book is also a nostalgic reminder of a time when creativity could flourish unburdened by the shackles of corporate bureaucracy.

Scotland and South Africa are mixed jurisdictions, combining features of common law and civil law traditions. Over the last decade a shared feature in both Scotland and South Africa has been a new intense focus on human rights. In Scotland the European Convention on Human Rights now constitutes an important element in the foundation of all domestic law. Similarly, the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, adopted in 1996, has as its cornerstone a Bill of Rights that binds not only the legislature, the executive, the judiciary and all organs of state, but also private parties. Of course the "constitutional moments" from which these documents sprang were very different and the Scottish and South African experience in some aspects could not be more dissimilar. Yet in many respects the parallels are close and compelling. This book, written by experts from both jurisdictions, examines exactly how human-rights provisions influence private law, looking at all branches of the subject. Moreover, it gives a unique perspective by comparing the approach in these kindred legal systems, thus providing a benchmark for both. Key Features: Twenty comparative case studies in private law and human rights A challenging collaboration between South African and Scots Universities Considers the impact of a bill of fundamental human rights upon the legal relationships between private individuals

Trauma ist inzwischen kein »Modebegriff« mehr und nach Ansicht kompetenter Traumatherapeuten auch nie gewesen. Die Traumaperspektive ist in Psychotherapie, Psychoanalyse, Psychosomatik und Psychiatrie fest etabliert. Es ist unabweisbar, dass Traumatisierungen, insbesondere in Kindheit und Jugend, die Lebensperspektive der Betroffenen zeitlebens überschatten und die Gesellschaft auf Jahrzehnte belasten. »Zeit heilt alle Wunden« drückt einen Wunsch aus. Dieser Spruch ist entstanden aus der Erfahrung von einem Teil der Traumatisierten, deren Störungen sich tatsächlich in einigen Monaten bessern. Beruhigend, beschwichtigend, vielleicht sogar abschiebend ist diese Redewendung jedoch bei jenen Traumatisierten, deren Störungen eben nicht von der Zeit geheilt werden, denen aber bisher nicht zu helfen war. Heute ist weit mehr möglich als noch vor zehn Jahren. Dieses Kompendium legt die Fortschritte in Forschung und Therapie zu zentralen Fragen der Psychotraumatologie vor. Einige Kontroversen sind inzwischen wissenschaftlich fundiert zu beantworten, etwa die Frage: Stabilisieren oder Konfrontieren? Hier lautet die einfache, klinisch lange bekannte und inzwischen empirisch belegte Antwort: Stabilisieren und Konfrontieren. Weitere Kontroversen werden zu neuen Fragen und Antworten führen.

`Young shopworkers on Henry Street in Dublin, who in 1984 refused to handle the fruits of apartheid, provided me with great hope during my years of imprisonment, and inspiration to millions of South Africans.' Nelson Mandela Dunnes Stores cashier Mary Manning knew little about apartheid when, at the age of twenty-one, she refused to register the sale of two Outspan South African grapefruits under a directive from her union. She was suspended and nine of her co-workers walked out in support. They all assumed they would shortly return to work. But theirs were kindling voices, on the cusp of igniting a mass movement they couldn't even imagine. Despite harassment from the Gardai and disparagement from the Irish government and even the Catholic Church, they refused to be silenced. Within months they were embroiled in a dispute that captured the world's attention. In this searing account, Mary tells the extraordinary story of their public fight for justice, as well as her emotive journey of discovery into her family's past. Mary's mother had been forced to carry a secret burden of shame for her whole life by the same oppressive establishment Mary was fighting. Striking Back is a provocative and inspiring story that epitomises the resilience of hope and the human spirit, even under the most formidable of circumstances. It shows that each of us has the power to change the world.
