Описание: Featuring contributed chapters written by experts within the field, Learning Critical Thinking Skills Beyond the 21st Century for Multidisciplinary Courses: A Human Rights Perspective in Education provides readers with various perspectives regarding the intersection of education, human rights, and critical thinking. The text integrates strategies and best practices that support equitable education, elevate human rights, and pave the way for a better future.
The text is divided into four modules. In Module 1, readers learn about the history and evolution of human rights, how students can integrate language arts and human rights into STEM/STEAM subjects, and how critical teaching and social justice teaching can increase students' involvement and understanding. Module 2 features scholarship on leadership and inclusion in cross-cultural and multidisciplinary critical thinking, field theory as a means to analyze the social world critically, and the need across the disciplines for high-quality critical thinking. In Module 3, chapters speak to the critical nature of cultural learning and individual life experience in the quest for sustainability, the dynamics of cultural encounters, the correlation between art and mathematics from an instructional aspect, and how digital storytelling can foster greater academic literacy. The final module features chapters on humanistic literacy, strategies to enhance global literacy, and critical and cultural literacy.
Описание: This new and fully-updated 2nd edition is a core text for introductory modules to HRM at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

Описание: This book is a rare explanation of common construction management activities from a financial point of view. While the practical side of the industry is illustrated here with case studies, the authors also take the time to build up an understanding of balance sheets and P&L accounts before explaining how common tasks like estimating or valuation work from this perspective.

Описание: Beyond Autonomy forces us to rethink the meaning of autonomy as a central organising pillar of federalism. Can federations exist beyond the autonomy realm designed to promote territorial self-governance and direct representation among various levels of government? How do governments of federal systems interact over the design and implementation of policy in highly topical areas such as security, where the optimal distribution of authority is blurred? Which mechanisms promote the compromise necessary in many of today’s democratic federal systems? How do newly emerging federations in Africa and Asia design federal institutions in order to decrease conflict while promoting national solidarity? How can federal systems protect the rights of non-territorial minorities such as many indigenous peoples?
Описание: This book regards the working conditions of the self-employed and their access to social protection as key questions of current social policy debates. It explores how self-employment has become a more popular form of employment in the UK, especially since the onset of the 2008 global crisis, and how it relates to other trends in labor markets. It assesses the potential benefits and risks of self-employment, both for individuals and wider society, and asks in this context about the limits of an individualization of social risks. The book analyses how the self-employed are protected by the welfare state and to what extent the existing social policies help to avoid and alleviate vulnerabilities. The book thus offers a nuanced analysis of self-employment in its different facets. It seeks to lay the foundation for a more far-reaching engagement of academics, students, policy-makers, and campaigners with one of the most crucial social policy challenges of our times.,
