Free Download Vander Tavares, "Empowering Language Learners in a Changing World through Pedagogies of Multiliteracies"
English | ISBN: 3031518888 | 2024 | 293 pages | EPUB | 6 MB
This book presents conceptual and empirical studies on how pedagogies of multiliteracies can empower language learners, teachers, and teacher educators in an increasingly globalized yet unequal world, with a focus on social justice in language education. The chapters offer critical and innovative pedagogical insights that contribute to re-envisioning language and literacy education in the 21st century in a number of educational contexts, including post-secondary, community, refugee, science, language, and teacher education. From a raciolinguistic critique of monoglossic education in the United States to drama-based pedagogies for refugee learners in Iceland, this book contextualizes language learner empowerment by identifying and confronting ideologies of race, gender, nationality, and language. Creative multimodal and multisensorial pedagogies are enacted through learner-designed plurilingual portfolios, infographics, picturebooks, identity texts, performance, andmuseum-based learning. This book diversifies and enriches current approaches to language education based on pedagogies of multiliteracies that cultivate learner agency, identity, and critical reflection, and it will be of interest to readers with backgrounds in second/foreign language education, TESOL/ESL, sociology of education, and applied linguistics.

Free Download Empowering China: Half a Century Since Nixon's Opening to China
English | 2025 | ISBN: 3031813030 | 445 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 3 MB
It underlines that when Nixon first visited China, in February 1972, he and Kissinger already understood that China would become a great power in a few decades and the ensuing risk "to be confronted, if our relations turn sour, with the most formidable enemy that has ever existed". The anticipated risk was taken to achieve short term benefits. Assessing the wisdom of this decision is the thrust of the book. Eight reasons are listed which might have given Nixon and Kissinger second thoughts when they decided to engage China.

Free Download Andeline dos Santos, "Empathy Pathways: A View from Music Therapy"
English | ISBN: 3031085558 | 2022 | 536 pages | EPUB | 10 MB
Many descriptions of empathy revolve around sharing in and understanding another person's emotions. One separate person gains access to the emotional world of another. An entire worldview holds up this idea. It is individualistic and affirms the possibility of access to other people's "inner world." Can we really see inside another, though? And are we discrete, separate selves? How can we best grapple with these questions in the field of music therapy? In response, this book offers four empathy pathways. Two are situated in a constituent approach (that prioritises discrete individuals who then enter into relationships with one another) and two are located in relational approaches (that acknowledge the foundational reality of relationships themselves). By understanding empathy more fully, music therapists, teachers and researchers can engage in ways that are congruent with diverse worldviews and ways of being. Examples used in the book are from active and receptive music therapyapproaches as well as from community and clinical contexts, so as to provide clear links to practice.

Free Download Emotional Self-Knowledge: How Affective Skills Reveal Our Values, Goals, Cares, and Concerns
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009494562 | 76 Pages | PDF (True) | 4.4 MB
Knowledge of our emotional and bodily states helps us to further know our goals, values, interests, cares, and concerns. The authors first lay out a puzzle as to why bodily and emotional self-knowledge is strongly associated with good mental health and well-being. They solve this puzzle by mapping out connections between bodily states, emotional states, and our goals with an account of emotions as embodied appraisals. Emotions being embodied implies that self-knowledge of our bodily states aids in acquiring knowledge of our emotional states. Emotions as appraisals means that situations are appraised relative to our goals, such that self-knowledge of emotional states aids in acquiring knowledge of our goals, which are not always transparent to us. While emotional self-knowledge can be difficult to acquire, through skilled practice we can improve awareness and knowledge of our emotional and bodily states.

Free Download Mabel Gonzales, "Emotional Intelligence for Students, Parents, Teachers and School Leaders: A Handbook for the Whole School Community"
English | ISBN: 9811903239 | 2022 | 420 pages | EPUB | 1047 KB
This book heightens readers' awareness of the importance of emotional intelligence and how it impacts our lives. It inspires parents, teachers and school leaders to learn more about emotional intelligence as a process of self-improvement, relational skills, and to help our students to develop emotional intelligence from an early stage of their lives. There are four parts in the book. Part 1 explains the importance of emotional intelligence in every aspect of our lives. It presents models and theories of emotional intelligence and explains how our emotions control our mind, body and spirit. Part 2 gives insights into how emotions play a significant role in our relationships with others. Part 3 takes the reader from family to the workplace and highlights the importance of becoming more aware of our emotions at work and how we relate to others. Part 4 emphasises the importance of helping our students to develop essential emotional intelligence to face this increasingly complex and challenging world.

Free Download Emigrant Soldiers: Mobilising Italians Abroad in the First World War
English | 2025 | ISBN: 1009268902 | 277 Pages | PDF | 5 MB
During the First World War, over 300,000 Italian emigrants returned to Italy from around the world to perform their conscripted military service, a mass mobilisation which was a uniquely Italian phenomenon. But what happened to these men following their arrival and once the war had ended? Selena Daly reconstructs the lives of these emigrant soldiers before, during and after the First World War, considering their motivations, combat experiences, demobilisation, and lives under Fascism and in the Second World War. Adopting a micro-historical approach, Emigrant Soldiers explores the diverse fates of four men who returned from the United States, Brazil, France, and Britain, interwoven with accounts of other emigrants from across Europe, the Americas, Africa, the Middle East and Australia. Through letters, diaries, memoirs, oral histories, newspapers, and diplomatic reports, Daly focuses on the experiences and voices of the emigrant soldiers, providing a new global account of Italians during the First World War.

Free Download Kasem Kulkeaw, "Emergence of In Vitro 3D Systems to Model Human Malaria"
English | ISBN: 9819906903 | 2023 | 105 pages | EPUB | 12 MB
This book illustrates the importance and advances of the disease model for malaria, a globally affected public health problem. This book provides comprehensive information on the malaria biology in a liver and all in vitro platforms for liver-stage malaria, including principles, protocols, applications for disease modeling and drug screening, and their limitations. The initial chapter describes the basis of stem cells in liver generation during development and in adults. The subsequent chapters highlight recent and emerging advances in liver organoid and liver-on-a-chip in modeling malaria. The book presents current protocols and methods to generate liver organoid and liver-on-a-chip together with their advantages and limitations. Toward the end, the book examines the humanized mouse model of liver-stage malaria using ectopic artificial livers regarding novel readout modalities. The recent advancement and challenges in combining liver-on-a-chip technology with biosensors are highlighted for assessing hepatocyte development viability and functions. The book elucidates the potential of these 3D models to understand the biological complexity of cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in Plasmodium development in the liver, toolboxes to investigate parasite deployment in the 3D models, and to implement in drug discovery. Finally, the book discusses the future directions and challenges in the applications of liver organoids and liver on-chip in the biology of live-stage malaria. This book is helpful for researchers and scientists in the field of parasitology, cell biology, tissue engineering, and pharmacology.
