Book Description
Change is now a dominant feature of early childhood systems around the globe and many countries are currently facing significant economic, social and political developments that bring additional challenges that teaching and learning practices need to be able to respond to in a positive and effective way. Early Childhood Education and Change in Diverse Cultural Contexts examines how the educational systems in different countries respond to this change agenda, what they prioritise and how they deal with the adjustment process. Based on original and cutting-edge research and drawing upon diverse theoretical approaches, the book analyses new policies and pedagogical practices in a wide range of different cultural contexts. With contributions from Great Britain, the USA, Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Estonia, New Zealand, South Africa and Singapore, this volume examines how educators might be able to innovate and respond positively to the shifting social and cultural situations in these contexts and others like them. Focusing on early childhood policy, professionalism and pedagogy, the book stimulates debate and dialogue about how the field is moving forward in the 21st century. Early Childhood Education and Change in Diverse Cultural Contexts should be essential reading for academics, researchers and postgraduate students engaged in the study of early childhood education, childhood studies and comparative education. Providing practical examples of how educational systems and educators might respond to change imperatives, the book should also be of great interest to teacher educators, current and pre-service teachers and policymakers around the world.

Book Description
From a real-life ambassador's wife and the acclaimed author of Exile Music comes a harrowing novel about the kidnapping of an American woman in the Middle East and the heartbreaking choices she and her husband each must make in the hope of being reunited. When bohemian artist Miranda meets British ambassador Finn in the ancient stone streets of an Islamic city, the course of her life alters in extraordinary ways. Their marriage gives her the luxury to paint whenever she wants, a staff to wait on her, and a young daughter she adores, but she loses the freedom to wander where she likes and to meet the Muslim women she is secretly teaching to paint. Her husband also makes Miranda a target: One sunny afternoon while hiking in the mountains, she is brutally kidnapped. As Finn struggles to save his family and his career, and Miranda grows close to a stranger’s child in captivity, the secrets he and Miranda have each sought to hide place them and those who trust them in peril. Not even freedom could restore the happiness that once was theirs.

Book Description
Whereas Balwant Bhagwandin's wild flowers was a gathering of thoughts and emotions, i hear guyana cry!, his second book of poetry, focuses on the destruction that is being visited upon his native land and its people. These poems speak of the agony from the mayhem and madness of yet another 'Turd' World country on the brink of a 'failed state' the like of Somalia and Liberia with warlords and child-soldiers, drug lords and their phantom enforcers and outright criminals instituting a reign of terror on the populace. 'This is a tragedy of calamitous proportion!' i hear guyana cry! gathers tears for the rapes, robberies and lives lost; anguish at the senseless murders, rampant brutality and bestiality unleashed upon the innocent and vulnerable; undiminishing anger and bitterness at the nation and its politicians for allowing this havoc to happen, for refusing to cast off their internecine animosities and get on with life for the sake of the country and especially the children; despair and cynicism for a future that offers as options little more than death in one form or another or flight... i hear guyana cry! is for all who have been traumatized and agonized for friends, relatives and neighbors in our homeland, for the homeland - for it is mourning and requiem!
