The capacity to understand and communicate health information is a major international health concern. Sponsored by the Health and Biosciences Section of International Federation of Library Associations, this book highlights the contribution that librarians are making to improving health literacy and enabling citizens to be active participants in the management of their own health. Knowledge is power and the World Health Organization recognizes that health literacy, involving effective access to and understanding of health information, is essential to health and well-being in society by empowering and enabling citizens to participate in their own healthcare. The book presents inspiring studies from an international group of authors showing how libraries and librarians are partnering with diverse sectors of society including universities, hospitals, public health clinics, community-based organisations, voluntary bodies and government agencies, to help citizens understand and manage their health. It provides guidance by example to suggest how libraries can help citizens participate in their healthcare and their communities by collaborating with others to increase health literacy in society.

Описание: This third edition looks at how several decades of feminist social action have changed women`s place in the world today and updates some of the perennial challenges facing women globally to engage with new issues, including digital exclusion, sustainable development and environmental justice.
Presents current strengths and innovative practices - Relates English language learning and assessment to both education and community engagement. Explores pedagogical approaches relevant to the world's growing superdiverse communities.
Identifies language teaching and learning dilemmas and solutions - Examines languages learning inside and outside the classroom. Considers connections between student motivation, L2 competence, language maintenance and the influence of assessment on pedagogy.
Acquisition of English as an added language is a worldwide challenge, and although a well-recognised educational need in a diversity of contexts, learners' success largely depends on the quality of pedagogy and extent of reform away from the traditional method. Moreover, while learning environments differ in opportunities to foster English language learning, research continues to highlight how a multiplicity of issues may negatively impact learners' success in spite of the advantages of new digital communication technologies and availability of teacher professional learning. In response to this, Stimulating Languages Learning: Global Perspectives and Community Engagement, as a research book, examines current shifts in the field, making connections and acknowledging identified strengths and innovative practices, and solutions, at both the local and global level. By drawing upon a range of exemplars from Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Senegal, South Korea, and Vietnam, it illuminates related issues, such as pre-service teacher education, refugee learners' need for English for work, and the importance of first language maintenance. In highlighting the importance of curriculum, learner attributes and pedagogical approaches, learning materials and testing, along with opportunities for language learning outside the classroom, this publication is ideal for professionals involved in TESOL and teaching English as a Foreign language and its improvement.

Описание: Communal-level resource management successes and failures comprise complex interactions that involve local, regional, and (increasingly) global scale political, economic, and environmental changes, shown to have recurring patterns and trajectories. The human past provides examples of long-term millennial and century-scale successes followed by undesired transitions (“collapse”), and rapid failure of collaborative management cooperation on the decadal scale. Management of scarce resources and common properties presents a critical challenge for planners attempting to avoid the 'tragedy of the commons' in this century. Here, anthropologists, human ecologists, archaeologists, and environmental scientists discuss strategies for social well-being in the context of diminishing resources and increasing competition.The contributors in this volume revisit “tragedy of the commons” (also referred to as “drama” or “comedy” of the commons) and examine new data and theories to mitigate pressures and devise models for sustainable communal welfare and development. They present twelve archaeological, historic, and ethnographic cases of user-managed resources to demonstrate that very basic community-level participatory governance can be a successful strategy to manage short-term risk and benefits. The book connects past-present-future by presenting geographically and chronologically spaced out examples of communal-level governance strategies, and overviews of the current cutting-edge research. The lesson we learn from studying past responses to various ecological stresses is that we must not wait for a disaster to happen to react, but must react to mitigate conditions for emerging disasters.
