The New Political Economy of Urban EducationNeoliberalism, Race, and the Right to the CityPauline Lipman, University of Illinois-Chicago.Using Chicago as a case study of the interconnectedness of neoliberal urban policies on housing, economic development, race, and education, Lipman explores larger implications for equity, justice, and “the right to the city”. Her synthesis of these lenses gives added weight to her critical appraisal and hope for the future, offering a significant contribution to current arguments about urban schooling and how we think about relations between neoliberal education reforms and the transformation of cities.

Not Quite a TeacherTarget Practice for Beginning TeachersTom Bennett is the Behaviour Guru on the TES advice forum.This book, although light in tone, has a serious intent: to reassure trainee and beginning teachers that are parachuted into difficult schools without anything like the right level of preparation. Tom Bennett walks you through the training and initial teaching practice, offering practical advice and wisdom from the more experienced vantage point of hindsight. This double-narrator style allows you to identify with the situation, learn from the experience and then critically reflect on your own teaching journey. But most importantly, this is a teacher training guide disguised as something actually readable.

The Science of GivingExperimental Approaches to the Study of CharityDaniel M. Oppenheimer, Princeton University, and Christopher Y. Olivola, University College London.The chapters in this book study charity using experimental methods in which the variables of interest are experimentally manipulated. As a result, it becomes possible to identify the causal factors that underlie giving, and to design effective intervention programs that can help increase the likelihood and amount that people contribute to a cause. The emotional, social, and cognitive mechanisms explored herein all have more general implications for the study of psychology and behavioral economics.

With access to all the material records of the project, this book responds to that debate by presenting multi-faceted narratives from a wide range of writers that have been invited to reflect both positively and negatively on what the buildings represent and how they have performed.

Transforming the Curriculum through the Arts offers something to every teacher who is concerned about the lack of creativity and imagination in today’s curriculum.

There is much evidence to suggest that the Arts can make a unique contribution to the lives of young people, their learning and their ability to be creative and imaginative thinkers. Transforming the Curriculum through the Arts supports this idea by presenting the Arts as being central to children’s development and as such provides a much-needed framework for arts–enriched learning and teaching strategies across the primary and middle years curriculum.

Based on current national and international research, this book presents a well-grounded rationale for embedding the Arts into the curriculum. Key learning areas are addressed in meaningful, relevant, interesting and creative ways. Innovative exemplars, many written and implemented by practising teachers, are clearly demonstrated.

Academic CultureA student’s guide to studying at university, second editionBy Jean Brick

Academic Culture is a much-needed and immensely practical book which identifies these attitudes and values as well as the effect they have on student and lecturer behaviour. Designed for all students who are entering university for the first time, the new edition of this widely successful text will equip readers with a breadth of knowledge which will ensure the improvement of their academic performance.

QtyClinical LeadershipInnovation into actionBy Dr. David Stanley

The book offers practical, research-based guidance and examples that will inspire, motivate, support and facilitate clinical leaders (or aspiring clinical leaders) in the application of clinical leadership skills. $64.95, ISBN 9781420256635, NZRP$71.95

Cases in Corporate Sustainability and ChangeA Multidisciplinary ApproachSuzanne Benn, Dexter Dunphy and Bruce Perrott.Case studies demonstrate that sustainability is not simply some esoteric green fantasy, but central to business strategies and a business imperative. Thus there is a need for up-to-date, relevant course materials-and particularly case studies-addressing the issues and challenges ahead. Sustainability issues do not come in neat packages; rather, they cut across the traditional academic disciplines. Case studies bring students down from the academic world of theory into gritty everyday reality and demand relevant, practical action. Case studies allow the relevance of theories to be tested.
