English | 2018 | ISBN: 103224206X, 1472446623 | EPUB | pages: 128 | 0.4 mb
The last two decades have witnessed an ever growing partisan divide in US politics over climate change and global warming. Significant elements in the Republican Party became openly hostile to the scientific evidence and, following the election of George W. Bush, legislative action at the federal level effectively ground to a halt. This opened up space at the state and local level to develop climate change policies with cities such as Chicago, San Francisco and New York implementing a number of initiatives that brought real and substantive developments. The election of Barack Obama in 2008 seemed to open new possibilities for federal and global leadership once more and whilst the Obama administration has been criticised for a somewhat contradictory approach to the issue at times, there were nonetheless a number of substantive policy developments.

Free Download Social Geographies of Educational Change By Michael Fullan, Carol Rolheiser, Blair Mascall, Karen Edge (auth.), F. Hernandez, I. F. Goodson (eds.)
2005 | 173 Pages | ISBN: 1402024940 | PDF | 2 MB
Social Geographies, as spatial location, is a factor relevant to understanding the variety of people’s interpretations and appropriations of educational innovations and changes. Their location in the social space also influences their response to change. In the field of educational change, social space means for example, skin colour, gender distribution of teachers in one school, children’s self-cultural representations or parents’ religious attitudes.By using the notion of Social Geographies in the context of educational change, the authors address the following questions: How initiatives in a classroom or department are influenced by the surrounding context of the school, the district or the nation; How innovation spreads or diffuses from one school to another;How and whether reforms can be scaled up from a few schools to a whole system;How seemingly standardised reforms affect schools differently depending on where they are located;How schools influence one another;How the identities of, and interrelationships among, schools are affected by technology, principles of market competition and choice, and other initiatives. This volume is relevant to educationalists, policy-makers, teachers, and students interested in a more complex approach to understand and intervene in educational change processes.

Free Download Clive Church, "Political Change in Switzerland: From Stability to Uncertainty"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1138386448, 1857437802 | EPUB | pages: 208 | 0.6 mb
Political Change in Switzerland explains the striking recent political developments in Switzerland, an important but surprisingly little known and often misunderstood country, aiming to dissipate prevailing myths about Switzerland in its European context. Firstly, the title provides an analysis of the way the practice and processes of Swiss politics have so dramatically changed over the last 25 years, setting out the differences between outside perceptions and changing Swiss realities. Secondly, it discusses how far the country has moved, from the stability of the post-war period to a new era of uncertainty, in which the so called Sonderfall, or special case, no longer seems to apply. In doing so it analyses the populist movement, centred on the Swiss People’s Party, examining its support and tactical operations, as well as the response of the establishment to the challenges the movement poses, both generally and where key questions of policy on foreigners and the EU are concerned. Finally, the title explains how much of this change is related to Europe, and discusses the prospects for Switzerland, Europe and the EU member states in the light of this new Swiss uncertainty.

Free Download M. Mauthner, "Sistering: Power and Change in Female Relationships"
English | 2002 | pages: 239 | ISBN: 033380080X, 1403941254 | PDF | 1,9 mb
Sister stories are rare compared with images of celebrity sisters and ‘sisterhood’. Based on 37 interviews, this fascinating book uncovers sisters’ complex relationships. Readers will play ‘mapping’ games to guess where they figure in its patterns. Sisters talk passionately about how their closeness and distance affects the power-balance between them. Making parallels with friendship and caring, it explores formations of gender, identity and intimacy in family life. Sistering was nominated for the British Sociological Association’s 2003 Philip Abrams Prize.

Free Download Merja Kytö, Mats Rydén, Erik Smitterberg, "Nineteenth-Century English: Stability and Change"
English | 2006 | pages: 317 | ISBN: 0521861063, 0521117240 | PDF | 2,5 mb
This volume of Studies in English Language focuses on the nineteenth century, an important period of both stability and change for the English language. Through ten detailed case studies, it highlights the relationships between English, its users, and nineteenth-century society, looking particularly at gender differences and variation across genres. It also discusses major structural aspects of nineteenth-century English, such as nouns, verbs and adjectives, and Germanic vs. Romance vocabulary. Although the nineteenth century is often viewed as a relatively stable period in the development of the language, this volume shows the 1800s to be a time of significant change, some of which continued into the twentieth century. By making comparisons possible with both earlier and later periods, it makes an important contribution to our overall understanding of the history of the English language.
