Different Lives
Internationally acclaimed biographies are almost always written by British or American biographers. But what is the state of the art of biography in other parts of the world? Introduced by Richard Holmes, the volume Different Lives offers a global perspective: seventeen scholars vividly describe the biographical tradition in their countries of interest. They show how biography functions as a public genre, featuring specific societal issues and opinion-making. Indeed, the volume aims to answer the question: how can biography contribute to a better understanding of differences between societies and cultures? Special attention is given to the US, China and the Netherlands. Other contributions a...
Travesías biográficas. Un diálogo interdisciplinar
Tras años de carencias o altibajos, la biografía de nuevo está en alza. Este género todoterreno ha demostrado su capacidad de evolucionar y sobrevivir a modas historiográficas, imperativos comerciales, fronteras culturales e incluso ideologías y censuras políticas. Quizá porque sus sujetos de estudio seres humanos braceando en su torrente vital e histórico constituyen una fuente de atracción y aprendizaje continuo que, además, es irreductible a leyes. En este libro se integran voces de distintas nacionalidades y especialidades; hombres y mujeres, jóvenes y veteranos, que exploran y desvelan las rutas generales del viaje biográfico o narran los vericuetos del suyo propio. L...

Pedagogy of Evaluation
"Pedagogy is the study of teaching. Pedagogy of evaluation entails examining how and what evaluation teaches. This volume is inspired by and builds on the works of Paulo Freire, especially his classic, Pedagogy of the Oppressed. Freire understood and taught that all interactions between and among people are pedagogical; something is always being taught, conveyed, and proselytized. It follows that all evaluation approaches constitute a pedagogy of some kind. All evaluation teaches something"--Page [4] of cover.
The Neo-Buddhist Writings of Lafcadio Hearn
The Neo-Buddhist Writings of Lafcadio Hearn: Light from the East by Antony Goedhals offers radical rereadings of a misunderstood and undervalued Victorian writer. It reveals that at the metaphysical core of Lafcadio Hearn’s writings is a Buddhist vision as yet unappreciated by his critics and biographers. Beginning with the American writings and ending with the essay- and story-meditations of the Japanese period, the book demonstrates Hearn’s deeply personal and transcendently beautiful evocations of a Buddhist universe, and shows how these deconstruct and dissolve the categories of Western discourse and thinking about reality – to create a new language, a poetry of vastness, emptiness, and oneness that had not been heard before in English, or, indeed, in the West.

Education in this country has evolved dramatically from the days of one teacher in a one-room schoolhouse. Today, student learning is no longer confined to a physical space.

This book provides a new look at the relatively new enterprise of online learning in the K-12 arena, which is expanding rapidly, with increasing numbers of providers offering services and more students choosing to participate. As with any education program, online learn...
