This book develops a theory of successful reintegration after intra-state conflict, centred on the development of social capital and its…
use by former combatants after demobilization.The book shows that those former combatants who are able to develop social ties and social capital in their communities, with their families and through involvement in peacebuilding activities will be more likely to experience successful reintegration as measured by their satisfaction with the reintegration process. The volume’s research is based primarily on the results of a survey of former combatants in Colombia’s conflict. The authors surveyed former members of the two largest and most powerful of the armed actors – the United Self-Defense Forces of Colombia (or AUC) and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia – People’s Army (FARC-EP). The book assesses the former combatants’ evaluations of reconciliation processes, the prospects for the success of these efforts, and their own involvement in reconciliation programs to evaluate the extent to which former combatants are making successful efforts in this regard and whether their social capital influences their willingness to reconcile.This book will be of much interest to students of peacebuilding, intra-state conflict, Latin American politics and International Relations.

Constructed around powerful stories of maternal agency, care and emotion, this novel volume conceptualises the primary homework experience as a…
social and relational practice and act of mothering, thereby raising wider questions about parental involvement in education, families’ agency in school practices, and the broader implications for policy.Using data gathered through repeat interviews, videos of mother-child primary homework interactions, and stimulated reflections, chapters present a series of unique maternal portraits that reflect various dimensions such as class, ethnicity, and parenting children with additional needs. The book demonstrates how practices from the educational sphere bleed into family relations, and how in return, mothers shape educational processes through their mothering. Contesting prevalent deficit discourses about mothers, the book highlights their relational skills and investment in their children's education. Chapters contextualise parent involvement and the international reach of primary homework practices, as prompted by neoliberal discourses of parental responsibilisation, and the globalisation of educational approaches.This book will appeal to researchers, academics and postgraduate students interested in parent involvement and engagement, homework and primary education. The book will also be important for those researching mothering, parenting and gendered practices.

psychologists actively involved in the practice of their profession, the editors go a long way towards providing an answer to this question.Originally published in 1982, Psychology in Practice provided an insight into the nature of psychology as practiced which both challenged and complemented the picture given from the study of learned texts at the time. The contributors place their own experience in a broader context and thus the book provided an introduction to the increasingly varied fields of application for psychology.Psychology students would find this book invaluable because it provided an account for them of job opportunities and professional outlets. In addition, it would be of use to many psychologists in practice who wished to see how their own field of professional activity was developing and compared with others, and to explore the possibility of broadening the scope of their own work. For those who made use or wished to make use of professional psychology the book provided a map of the field which at the time was not available in any other form.

Originally published in 1980, each of the three playwrights discussed in this lively book was a radical in his own…
way, concerned with the moral and social implications of capitalism. In addition, as Dukore, author of several previous books on Shaw and other modern dramatists, shows in the first chapter, there is a clear chain of influence from Ibsen to Shaw to Brecht. The book is structured around the ways the three writers treat similar issues and themes. The chapters focus on particular subjects involving money, politics, or both. They isolate particular viewpoints from which each playwright treats capitalist society. One chapter, a discussion of A Doll House, Pygmalion, and Mother Courage and Her Children, centers on money; another focuses on politics with reference to Rosmersholm, On the Rocks, and The Mother. In between fall discussions of plays in which both money and politics are central issues, first among the lower classes and women (Ghosts, Mrs Warren’s Profession, and The Good Person of Szechwan), then among professionals (The Master Builder, The Doctor’s Dilemma, Life of Galileo), then among the upper classes (Pillars of Society, Heartbreak House, Puntila and Matti), then a discussion of money and morality (An Enemy of the People, Major Barbara, and Saint Joan of the Stockyards). In his concluding essay, the author examines the relationship between ideology and artistry, showing that any interpretation of the work of these three dramatists will profit from an awareness of their radicalism.

This volume advances a new approach to ethics: “living ethics”. As an ethical and philosophical orientation, living ethics offers a…
refreshing perspective on how difficult human situations become opportunities for co-learning and co-creative ethical thinking.Living ethics starts with the observation that moral problems are living and vital problems that affect our daily lives. It orients scholarship and practice by using theory in a pragmatic way to solve real-life problems, by fostering spaces for dialogical reflection on these problems, and by working closely together with stakeholders to co-imagine solutions. Central to living ethics are human flourishing, interconnectedness, dialogue, responsiveness, moral spaces, and epistemic justice and humility. The chapters in this volume are divided into three parts. The first part introduces and discusses ideas central to living ethics such as ethics as a way of life, co-learning, and epistemic humility. The second part features several examples of practices and projects informed by a living ethics stance in wide-ranging contexts such as public policy, substance use, healthcare, aging, and research. The third part features open-ended discussions and reflections on models of governance and implementation to propel ideas central to living ethics in areas such as international relationships, education, research ethics, and healthcare. Living Ethics in Theory and Practice will be of interest to a wide range of scholars, graduate students and practitioners working notably in ethics, philosophy and the humanities, social science, psychology, healthcare, and policy.

as well as biological tools, to improve plant growth under contamination stress. The book also covers defense mechanisms in plants using phytohormones and nanomaterials, along with safety concerns related to micro and nano-contaminants. Contaminants in soil-crop plant systems pose a significant challenge to sustainable agriculture, environmental health, and food security. These pollutants, such as herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, salts, nanomaterials, and toxic metals like cadmium, lead, mercury, and arsenic, can enter the food chain through contaminated soil and crops. These substances can damage plants, alter their growth processes, and compromise their integrity. As a result, the persistence of such chemicals within the ecosystem can remain unchanged, affecting plant health and soil quality. This book looks at the effective management practices for the use and disposal of contaminants that are essential to limit their harmful dynamics. It highlights the various interventions for the their tolerance and survival mechanisms of plants against contaminants that can disrupt morpho-physiological and biochemical. It also highlights the use of signaling molecules, phytohormones, plant nutrients, bioaugmented agents, and nanomaterials that can support plants in coping with contamination, improving growth and productivity. This book is a good resource for upper-level students, faculty, scientists, and researchers working especially in nanobiotechnology, plant biology, plant biochemistry, botanical or crop sciences, environmental sciences, ecological sciences, and other allied subjects and or science.

and greater systemic risks.This book presents economic research into the roots and remedies of these risks, particularly exploring the key issues of financial stability and the financing of economic activities, on the one hand, and the necessary economic and ecological transition to a more sustainable world, on the other hand. Against a backdrop of these growing global risks - whether economic and financial, ecological or geopolitical - the continuity of financing for innovative activities, transition operations, or investments in regions or countries weakened by conflict is essential to enable economies to generate sustainable wealth to improve living conditions for citizens. Therefore, the contributors to this book explore issues of financial stability in relation to financial regulation, macroprudential policies, the use of digital currencies by central banks, mechanisms for hedging markets against risk and the perception of risk by market players, bank resolution mechanisms, and the role of the insurance sector in a financialized economy. In parallel with this, this book also explores the different ways in which green transition processes can be financed. The role of industrial and fiscal policies in stabilizing markets and encouraging economic activities that would enable sustainable and stable economic development and support the ecological transition in the long term is also highlighted.This book will be of great interested to readers of green economy and transition, money, finance and banking, and economic and public policy.

Subject Report, Rich Encounters with the Past (July 2023) and offers numerous pathways for teachers to construct their own curriculum from the Foundation Stage to Year 6. This book highlights how this may be done, in coherent ways which enable children to remember and continuously build on their historical understanding. Part 1 considers how the discipline of history has evolved and how school history has changed as a result. Part 2 considers how children can progress in understanding and applying disciplinary skills in history, in increasingly complex ways. Part 3 suggests how a variety of hinterland knowledge can link to enquiry questions and support rich understanding of substantive knowledge. It considers diversity of different kinds and ‘the big picture’, making connections between societies in different times and places. Part 4 suggests ways of collaboratively revising or constructing a rich, whole school curriculum, plan related study units, and monitor, record and assess pupil progress. It concludes by explaining how teachers can take ownership of change, by sharing and publishing their teaching approaches, rather than see managing change solely as a top-down process. There is detailed, structured guidance on how colleagues can work together, in sequenced steps and throughout the age range, to construct a curriculum of which they have ownership, and which is both flexible and based on planning for children’s developing understanding of the past. The guidance is enjoyable and not too time-consuming. There are detailed sections on planning topics, within the whole school curriculum and on forming shared ideas about monitoring and recording progress.Supported throughout by examples from case studies and of children’s work and talk, this is an essential resource for student teachers on school placements, teaching assistants, and teachers with all levels of experience.
