Teaching Economics
This book looks at a number of topics in economic education, presenting multiple perspectives from those in the field to anyone interested in teaching economics. Using anecdotes, classroom experiments and surveys, the contributing authors show that, with some different or new techniques, teaching economics can be more engaging for students and help them better retain what they learned. Chapters cover a wide range of approaches to teaching economics, from interactive approaches such as utilizing video games and Econ Beats, to more rigorous examinations of government policies, market outcomes and exploring case studies from specific courses. Many of the chapters incorporate game theory and provide worked out examples of games designed to help students with intuitive retention of the material, and these games can be replicated in any economics classroom. While the exercises are geared towards college-level economics students, instructors can draw inspiration for course lectures from the various approaches taken here and utilize them at any level of teaching. This book will be very useful to instructors in economics interested in bringing innovative teaching methods into the classroom.

Le temerarie acrobazie di un biker tra le gole del deserto dello Utah. Cosa hanno in comune queste tre situazioni a prima vista così diverse? La risposta non è nell’evento in sé, quanto nelle immagini prodotte dal peculiare dispositivo di ripresa che le ha catturate. Sguardi incarnati. Fenomenologia delle videocamere indossabili è la prima sistematica trattazione del fenomeno delle wearable camera.

Attraverso l’analisi di fi lm, serie tv e riprese vernacolari, il libro si propone di indagare l’estetica delle videocamere indossabili in tre scenari mediali differenti: gli sport estremi, i confl itti del nuovo millennio, la pubblica sicurezza.
Building the Fourth Estate
Building the Fourth Estate reveals the crucial part played by the Mexican media in the country's remarkable recent political transformation.
