Though certainly not a new idea, citizenship education manifests in unique and often unpredictable ways in our contemporary neoliberal era. The question of what it means to be a productive and recognized citizen must now be understood simultaneously along both global and local lines. This edited volume offers an international perspective on citizenship education enacted in specific socio-political contexts. Each chapter includes a pointed conceptualization of citizenship education—a philosophical framework—that is then applied to specific national cases across Europe, Asia, Canada and more. Chapters emphasize how such frameworks are implemented within local contexts, encouraging particular pedagogical/curricular practices even as they constrain others. Chapters conclude with suggestions for productive change and how educators might usefully engage contemporary contexts through citizenship education.

A large part of this book is dedicated to the geology of the Pityusic Archipelago, followed by contributions on climate and geography. Funguses, mosses and leeks are the subjects of taxonomical botany, and a further paper deals with the vegetation of the islands. Another large part of this book is concerned with zoology: faunal lists on fleas, bees, wasps, ants, butterflies, beetles, snails, amphibians and reptiles, birds and mammals, the latter with their epi- and endofaunas as well as their subfossil remains are presented in 13 different papers. Three of them deal with the special problems of isolation and evolution of new races on rocks and small islets: tenebrionid beetles, lizards and t...
Aquest llibre és una crònica que aplega el primer contacte de l'autor amb un text dramàtic de temàtica assumpcionista escrit en un català de la segona meitat del segle XIV, ara fa cinquanta anys, i la seva vivificació en el Misteri de la Selva, ara en fa vint-i-cinc. S'hi recullen tant les grans fites assolides fins als nostres dies (la representació a Roma l'any 2000) com les petites anècdotes quotidianes o els desencisos que també formen part de la història del Misteri. El punt de vista de l'autor hi és contrastat amb l'opinió d'estudiosos i altres personalitats rellevants, com són el doctor Pont i Gol o Maria Aurèlia Capmany, sense bandejar altres noms que trobareu a l'interior. Un estil planer i amè, gens agosarat, us atansarà a la gestació, naixença i creixença del Misteri de la Selva, en un treball que vol ser un homenatge a tots els qui hi han participat i continuen participant-hi, un estímul per als selvatans de nova fornada i un apropament a aquelles persones que no en coneixien l'existència.
When a scientific journal like "Oecologia Aquatica" reaches its tenth issue, it is perhaps not an occasion for extraordinary celebration. However, if it turn out that this coincides with a series of unusual circunstances, then the perspective changes somewhat. Moreover, if the editors hasten to confess that this modest milestone of issue na 10 was really taken as an excuse to pay tribute to Professor Ramon Margalef, who was the founder, the first director and the driving force behind the journal, we can be forgiven for waiting to celebrate.
