Dialogue and the Development of Children's Thinking
This book draws on extensive research to provide a ground-breaking new account of the relationship between dialogue and children’s learning development. It closely relates the research findings to real-life classrooms, so that it is of practical value to teachers and students concerned that their children are offered the best possible learning opportunities.

Vulnerability in Scandinavian Art and Culture
In this open access book, seventeen scholars discuss how contemporary Scandinavian art and media have become important arenas to articulate and stage various forms of vulnerability in the Scandinavian welfare states. How do discourses of privilege and vulnerability coexist and interact in Scandinavia? How do the Scandinavian countries respond to vulnerability given increased migration? How is vulnerability distributed in terms of margin and centre, normality and deviance? And how can vulnerability be used to move audiences towards each other and accomplish change? We address these questions in an interdisciplinary study that brings examples from celebrated and provocative fiction and documentary films, TV-series, reality TV, art installations, design, literature, graphic art, radio podcasts and campaigns on social media.

Wäärentäjä Grandellin elämä ja lankeemukset
Väärentäjä kuin murhaaja. Wäärentäjä Grandellin sattumuksien täyttämä elämäntaival avaa ainutlaatuisen näköalan veijareiden ja lurjusten elämään ja 1800-luvun Suomeen. Carl Grandell oli vaatimattomista oloista kotoisin oleva mies, joka yritti edetä elämässään niillä keinoilla kuin hänelle oli mahdollista. Silti kruunu piti häntä murhaajan veroisena pahantekijänä. 1800-luvun alun Suomessa ihmisen paikka oli ennalta määrätty, eikä rahvaalla ollut mahdollisuuksia nousta yhteiskunnan portaita ylöspäin. Hitaasti leviävä kirjoitustaito tarjosi nokkelalle henkilölle asemiensa parantamiseen yhden keinon - vaikkakin laittoman ja riskialttiin. Mahtavampiensa valla...
