Farmers Are A Dying Breed
Every 5 years the United States Department of Agriculture sends all the farmers a survey called the Agricultural Census. And every five years once all the results are tallied and without fail, an alarm bell goes off. The national average age in farming keeps climbing up and the trend is ever upward. Farmers around the world are getting old. Where have all the young farmers gone? Why youngsters are leaving the family farms and showing no interest in what’s supposed to be the oldest and the ‘noblest’ profession? This is because small-scale agriculture is being deliberately stifled. Pro-corporate policies are making farming non-viable and farmers are left with no other choice but to quit. Farmers are a dying breed and family farming will become history soon.

CITY, PEOPLE and ARCHITECTURE No matter hom impressive or iconic building or tall skyscraperis upon the skyline of a city, these buildings are concieved with people as their users. Yet the question is, for which layer of citizenship do they serve ? Have the stakeholder of the built environment give adequte attention towards the lives of those in between the cities’ sprawl of structures ?

Craftmanship Within the History of Architecture in Indonesia. In the sixth edition of "ARCHINESIA Bookgazine" we explore what the Indonesian team of curators does in the 14th International Architecture Exhibition in Venice, Italy that is still going until November 16, 2014.

Reforming Lesson Study in Japan
This book elucidates the formation and development of theories of action in school reforms for Schools as Learning Communities (SLC) during ten years from its inception in 1998 in select Japanese elementary schools, junior high schools, and one secondary school.

Through a theory-of-action approach in its examination of the pilot schools for SLC, this book clarifies: • Why did teachers ref...
