Learning without Limits

"The style and language used by the authors make the book readable and therefore a book that practising teachers can actively use as a guide to improve their practice ...it is amply demonstrated that teaching can and should be an activity whose primary focus is to enhance students’ learning capacity and not limit it." Journal of Inservice Education
<ul>
<li>Why do some teachers insist on teaching without recourse to judgements about ability?</li> <li>What are the key principles on which they draw as they organize and provide for learning?</li> <li>What is the significance of their alternative approach for classrooms in the 21st century?</li>
</ul> This book explores ways of teaching that are free from determinist beliefs about ability. In a detailed critique of the practices of ability labelling and ability-focussed teaching, Learning without Limits examines the damage these practices can do to young people, teachers and the curriculum. Drawing on a research project at the University of Cambridge, the book features nine vivid case studies (from Year 1 to Year 11) that describe how teachers have developed alternative practices despite considerable pressure on them and on their schools and classrooms. The authors analyze these case studies and identify the key concept of transformability as a distinguishing feature of these teachers' approach. They construct a model of pedagogy based on transformability: the mind-set that children's futures as learners are not pre-determined, and that teachers can help to strengthen and ultimately transform young people's capacity to learn through the choices they make. The book shows how transformability-based teaching can play a central role in constructing an alternative improvement agenda. 
 This book will inspire teachers, student teachers, lecturers and policy makers, as well as everyone who has a stake in how contemporary education and practice affect children's future lives and life chances.

Through Windows of Opportunity: A Neuroaffective Approach to Child Psychotherapy

Health, Fitness & Dieting

Bentzen, Marianne

Mental Health

Routledge

This book is intended as an inspiration and as an introduction to what Susan Hart has called neuroaffective developmental psychology. As an underlying theme throughout the book, she seeks to emphasize the importance of attachment for the formation of personality in all its diversity. This book presents a merger of systems that are not normally brought together in a structured psychodynamic context. Thus it operates on three levels: a neurobiological level, an intrapsychological level, and an interpersonal level. It also focuses on the brain structures that are essential for the formation of relationships, personality development, and emotions. It attempts to provide an understanding of the way that the uniquely human nervous system develops capacities for empathy, mentalization, and reflection that enable us to address such aspects as: past and present, interpersonal relations, ethics, art, and aesthetics. Susan Hart has endeavoured to make the text meaningful and comprehensible in order to make the topic interesting and inspiring to the reader, and to spark an interest in further studies.

Brain, Attachment, Personality: An Introduction to Neuroaffective Development

How early infant-parent interactions can explain adult social and emotional relationships. Combining theories of neurobiology, interpersonal relationships, and intrapsychic concepts, this book explores the importance of attachment. Hart addresses children's normal development and relational disorders and presents an integrated therapeutic approach that takes attachment issues into consideration. Complex neurobiological and behavioral theory are transformed into protocols that can be easily implemented by the practicing clinician.

Doing Practitioner Research Differently

Doing Practitioner Research Differently encourages those embarking on practitioner research to consider the validity of innovative methods and styles of reporting. The book looks at three methods of enquiry and reporting - visualisation, conversation and fictional writing. Using practitioners' own accounts and research reports as case studies, this book explores the reasons why some practitioners reject the traditional research methods. It looks at the challenges faced by these practitioners and the conditions in higher education that encourage or inhibit innovative practitioner research. The case studies used illustrate that there are modes of enquiry and reporting that can foster the development of professional thinking and practice.

EROTIC ROMANCE: Mature Audience  Desperately needing a little R&R and a delayed honeymoon, plus research for an upcoming play, FBI agent Lily Foxworthy and her brilliant actor husband Peter von Rabenhorst, leave their Santa Barbara, California mansion for the Mayan ruins on the Yucatan peninsula. There are plenty of opportunities for lovemaking in the steamy tropical jungle and Peter gets the chance of a lifetime when he takes part in reenactment ceremonies as the ancient Mayan god, Quetzalcoatl - who he bears an uncanny resemblance to (according to Mayan legends). Unfortunately, along with the benign god "Q", Lily and Peter also encounter an immortal Mayan god who's one of the bad guys (very, very bad!). The ending is emotional and this adventure has touches of Sci-Fi which are quirky and humorous.
