Book Description
Assessment dominates our lives but its good intentions often produce negative consequences. An example that is central to this book is how current forms of assessment encourage shallow ‘for-the-test’ learning. It is true to say that as the volume of assessment increases, confidence in what it represents is diminishing. This book seeks to reclaim assessment as a constructive activity which can encourage deeper learning. To do this the purpose, and fitness-for–purpose, of assessments have to be clear. Gordon Stobart critically examines five issues that currently have high-profile status: intelligence testing learning skills accountability the ‘diploma disease’ formative assessment Stobart explains that these form the basis for the argument that we must generate assessments which, in turn, encourage deep and lifelong learning. This book raises controversial questions about current uses of assessment and provides a framework for understanding them. It will be of great interest to teaching professionals involved in further study, and to academics and researchers in the field.

Book Description
The Fastest-Growing Economy In The World Today Is That Of China. For Many On The Left, The Chinese Economy Seems To Provide An Alternative Model Of Development To The Of Neoliberal Globalization. Although It Is A Disputed Question Whether The Chinese Economy Can Be Still Described As Socialist, There Is No Doubting The Importance For The Global Project Of Socialism Of Accurately Interpreting And Soberly Assessing Its Real Prospects. Hart-Landsberg And Burkett S China And Socialism Argues That Market Reforms In China Are Leading Inexorably Toward A Capitalist And Foreign-Dominated Development Path, With Enormous Social And Political Costs, Both Domestically And Internationally. The Rapid Economic Growth That Accompanied These Market Reforms Have Not Been Due To Efficiency Gains, But Rather To Deliberate Erosion Of The Infrastructure That Made Possible A Remarkable Degree Of Equality. The Transition To The Market Has Been Based On Rising Unemployment, Intensified Exploitation, Declining Health And Education Services, Exploding Government Debt, And Unstable Prices. At The Same Time, China S Economic Transformation Has Intensified The Contradictions Of Capitalist Development In Other Countries, Especially In East Asia. Far From Being A Model That Is Replicable In Other Third World Countries, China Today Is A Reminder Of The Need For Socialism To Be Built From The Grassroots Up, Through Class Struggle And International Solidarity.

Book Description
This book commemorates 150 years of railways in India. Introduced under colonial rule in the second half of the nineteenth century, the railways soon embraced the length and breadth of India bringing with it rapid political, economic, ecological and cultural changes. The articles in this book explore the impact of this technological phenomenon from a range of interdisciplinary perspectives. From early railway thinking in renaissance Bengal, to railway policing in Uttar Pradesh and issues of management to railway themes in literature, the writers in this volume reveal the world of the railways in all its exciting facets. The photo essay invokes the nostalgic world of steam with a series of evocative images. In the twenty-first century, the ever expanding horizon of the railways continues to draw in people and goods in the third largest railway network in the world.
