However this diversity of profession has not resulted in a diversity of design solution as playgrounds appear to have remained virtually the same throughout the world since their creation over a century ago. This text is not a how-to book instead by using thinking from child development and child psychology Barbara Hendricks hopes to offer an approach to finding an innovative design solution that will challenge the established notions of play provision.

Rights for Aborigines

Rights for Aborigines

'We cannot help but wonder why it has taken the white Australians just on 200 years to recognise us as a race of people' Bill Onus 1967Aboriginal people were the original landowners in Australia yet this was easily forgotten by Europeans settling this old continent. Labelled as a primitive and dying race by the end of the nineteenth century most Aborigines were denied the right to vote to determine where their families would live and to maintain their cultural traditions. In this groundbreaking work Bain Attwood charts a century-long struggle for rights for Aborigines in Australia. He tracks the ever-shifting perceptions of race and history and how these impacted on the ideals and goals of campaigners for rights for indigenous people. He looks at prominent Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal campaigners and what motivated their involvement in key incidents and movements. Drawing on oral and documentary sources he investigates how they found enough common ground to fight together for justice and equality for Aboriginal people. Rights for Aborigines illuminates questions of race history political and social rights that are central to our understanding of relations between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Australians.

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics for Social Justice

Mathematics instructors are always looking for ways to engage students in meaningful and authentic tasks that utilize mathematics. At the same time it is crucial for a democratic society to have a citizenry who can critically discriminate between “fake” and reliable news reports involving numeracy and apply numerical literacy to local and global issues. This book contains examples of topics linking math and social justice and addresses both goals. There is a broad range of mathematics used including statistical methods modeling calculus and basic algebra. The range of social issues is also diverse including racial injustice mass incarceration income inequality and environmental justice. There are lesson plans appropriate in many contexts: service-learning courses quantitative literacy/reasoning courses introductory courses and classes for math majors. What makes this book unique and timely is that the most previous curricula linking math and social justice have been treated from a humanist perspective. This book is written by mathematicians for mathematics students. Admittedly it can be intimidating for instructors trained in quantitative methods to venture into the arena of social dilemmas. This volume provides encouragement support and a treasure trove of ideas to get you started. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the journal PRIMUS: Problems Resources and Issues in Mathematics Undergraduate Studies. | Mathematics for Social Justice

City for Conquest

City for Conquest

F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby still captivates readers with its vision of 1920s New York as a city of infinite potential where ambition and defeat live hand in hand. This sentiment is captured with even greater acuity in the pages of Aben Kandel's nearly forgotten masterpiece of urban life City for Conquest (1936). The source of the classic 1940s James Cagney film of the same name this panoramic New York novel captures the complex patterns of city life vividly evoking a metropolis of dreams and nightmares. Kandel portrays a volatile city inhabited by the aristocrat the criminal the idealist the bohemian the driven the entrapped and the impoverished all equally striving to make a dent in this town. The city itself is booming its new constructions callously built on destruction supplanting with equal disdain the slums of Brooklyn and the farm fields of the Bronx. This feverish microcosm of humanity inhabits a world of immense inequality where six blocks from Wall Street people haven't got a dime six blocks from duplex apartments people live in hovels and between the scarlet sore and the apple of the eye there lay a thick eyebrow of indifference. A literary triumph in the tradition of Stephen Crane's Maggie: A Girl of the Streets and John Dos Passos' Manhattan Transfer and out of print for far too long City for Conquest is the inaugural work of fiction in Transaction's new Lost Urban Classics series.

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals

Respect for animals has always been a part of human consciousness. Poets thinkers philosophers scientists and statesmen have long celebrated our compassion towards Earth's other beasts. Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb compiles the most significant statements of sensibility to animals in the history of thought. From the myths of the ancient world to the Middle Ages to Darwin and beyond Preece captures the most telling and fascinating accounts of humankind's relationship to the wild world placing them in historical context. Jung called it an unconscious identity with animals while Wordsworth saw it as the primal sympathy which having been must ever be. Linking the diverse chords of human experience that are touched by the animal world Preece shows that despite a historical thread of cruelty there still remains in all humanity a constant underlying concern for other beings as an integral part of the moral community. With musings and meditations from Lao Tse to Mohammed from Plato to Jane Goodall from classical religion to parliamentary proceedings Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb is an original superbly researched history that deepens our understanding of all living beings. | Awe for the Tiger Love for the Lamb A Chronicle of Sensibility to Animals
