Cyberbullying is one of the darker and more troubling aspects to the growing accessibility of new media technologies. Children in developed countries engage with cyberspace at younger and younger ages, and the use of the internet as a means to bully and harass has been greeted with alarm by educationalists, parents, the media, and governments. This important new book is the result of a four-year international collaboration, funded by the EU, to better understand how we can cope and confront cyberbullying, and how new media technologies can be used to actually support the victims of such abuse. The articles initially define the historical and theoretical context to cyberbullying, before exami...
The searing novel on which the internationally acclaimed hit film was based. “A Scarface-like urban epic . . . punctuated with lyricism and longing” (Publishers Weekly).

Cidade de Deus: a place where the streets are awash with narcotics, where violence can erupt at any moment over drugs, money, and love—but also a place where the samba beat rocks till dawn, where the women are the most beautiful on earth, and where one young man wants to escape his background and become a photographer. When City of God erupted on screens worldwide, it became one of the most critically and commercially successfu...
When seeking approaches for sex education, few look to the past for guidance. But Susan K. Freeman's investigation of the classrooms of the 1940s and 1950s offers numerous insights into the potential for sex education to address adolescent challenges, particularly for girls.

Although the classes reinforced normative heterosexual gender roles that could prove repressive, the discussion-ba...

The contributors present their in-depth studies of everyday uses and meanings of literacy and of the literacy programmes that have been developed to enhance them.

This international collection includes case studies from: Peru, Pakistan, India, South Africa, Bangladesh, Mali, Nepal, Iran, Eritrea, Ghana.
In SubliminalLeonard Mlodinow, bestselling author of The Drunkard's Walkand coauthor of The Grand Design (with Stephen Hawking), examines how the unconscious mind shapes our experience of the world far more than we realize - whether it is in our relationships with family, friends and business associates, our preference in politicians, our investment choices or even how we remember our own pasts. All of our judgements and perceptions reflect the workings of our mind on two levels- the conscious, of which we are aware, and the unconscious, which is hidden from us. The unconscious has long been the subject of speculation, but over the past two decades scientific researchers have developed remar...
