This book marks a more systematic investigation of the "Chinese economic development model," as well as the alternative "Muslim model" and the faltering globalization of a "Washington Consensus," especially with regard to the Muslim world, which spans different economic and geographic categories and is itself the progenitor of a development model. The Chinese model is this book’s primary focus, and it identifies its characteristics and tracks its reception in Africa and Latin America. It also investigates current competition between development models across Muslim contexts and the relat

The aims of the International Conference on Physics Education in Cultural Contexts were to explore ways towards convergent and divergent physics learning beyond school boundaries, improve physics education through the use of traditional and modern cultural contexts, and exchange research and experience in physics education between different cultures. A total of 45 papers have been selected for this volume. The material is divided into three parts: Context and History, Conceptual Changes, and Media.

Geographies of Girlhood: Identities In-Between explores how diverse adolescent girls come to understand themselves as female in this culture, particularly during a time when they are learning what it means to be a woman and their identities are in-between that of child and adult, girl and woman. It illuminates the material everyday realities of adolescent girls and the real issues that concern them, rather than what adult researchers think is important to adolescent girls. The contributing authors take seriously what girls have to say about themselves and the places and discursive spaces that

A fascinating variety of writing has been produced in the period since the Second World War. Much of this can be helpfully understood by reference to postmodernism. Many important texts in the period, however, are distorted when this label is applied to them, and others are actively anti-postmodernist. Postmodern Literature accessibly defines postmodernism, compares and contrasts it with modernism, and places it in its historical context, especially in relation to crucial phenomena like Auschwitz, the clashing of ideologies, and the prevalence of propaganda and misinformation. It discusses the

Contexts for Criticism introduces readers to the essential issues of literary interpretation. The text includes three complete works: Keats’s "Ode on a Grecian Urn," Melville’s Benito Cereno, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s The Yellow Wallpaper. These texts - plus Shakespeare’s The Tempest - are examined through seven fundamental critical theories: Historical (Author as Context and Culture as Context), Formal, Reader-Response, Mimetic, Intertextual, and Poststructural.
