365 Gifts
On her 30th birthday, Bonnie Schupp jumped solo out of an airplane. On her 70th birthday, she began another type of journey, writing about a gift each day brought to her that year - all 365 days. Both experiences profoundly influenced her outlook in life. In this book, she writes about these daily gifts and illustrates her words with her photos. It is a book filled with gratitude, even on the most challenging days."In 365 Gifts, Bonnie Schupp presents riches plumbed from the quotidian - the daily experiences and observations we often take for granted. Family, friends, insects, plants - even her own backyard - provide an array of insights the author mines for gold. The treasures she discovers become gifts all of us are privileged to share." ~ Shirley J. Brewer (poet and author of "A Little Breast Music" and "After Words")

Understanding Work-Based Learning
This important book is for anyone who wants to make the most of work-based learning: employees, employers, educationalists, policy makers and researchers. It sheds light on ways of giving full-time employees the chance to take up learning opportunities which are of the same level and rigour as those on offer to the full time student. It approaches the subject from the perspective of the learner, drawing on case studies to provide detailed insight. It suggests that universities already have in place much of the machinery needed to support learners who are in work: they just don't make enough use of it. Look closely and you will find a substantial legacy of this kind of activity by universities. This is a book about seizing opportunities. In one volume, Understanding Work-Based Learning makes a valuable contribution to current employer engagement and learner demand debates, and provides first hand learner experiences to guide existing and potential work based learners, employers, educationalists, policy makers, and researchers.
