An Introduction

Climate change-possibly the most pressing and difficult problem facing life on earth today-raises a series of questions that are fundamentally philosophical in nature. Some are: --Is skeptcism about climate change warranted? --Why does scientific consensus about global warming matter? --Who should pay-those who are causing the most damage or those who will bear the greatest burden-to mitigate the effects of climate change? Scientists and policy makers who grapple with these questions need the insights and contexts a philosophical analysis offers. And students and researchers in philosophy need to better know the scientific literature and political issues before offering ethical and philosophical commentary. With formal graduate training in the study of atmospheric science, a Ph.D. in philosophy, and a publication and teaching record that bridges the two areas, Wendy Parker adroitly addresses these and similar questions in, Understanding Climate Change: Science, Philosophy, and Policy. The book brings together a body of scattered research on these issues, but also breaks new ground, providing for a wide range of students and researchers a firmer footing on which to understand fully the scientific and policy issues related to climate change. The book is the first of its kind: a synoptic and coherent account-written for students and scholars in the humanities and the sciences--of the most salient philosophical issues related to our changing global climate.

Written in an accessible and clear manner, Sexualities in Context presents focused overviews and explorations of some of the most timely issues in the social construction of sex. This brief text is the only book of its kind to address sexualities from a social perspective, Plante's analysis of the context of sexuality, sexual behaviors, and identities is both intelligent and readable. With contemporary topics, such as 'hooking up,' sexual fantasies, and bisexualities, along with examples of how to apply critical thinking, students are empowered to think outside their comfort zones and encouraged to explore the topic of sex in a new context.

Higher Education Law: A Handbook for Faculty in Professional Programs will be the essential reference tool for all faculty teaching in and administering professional programs. The book will:¿ Help faculty identify and understand the legal implications of their everyday interactions with students.¿ Enable faculty to prevent costly, time consuming and emotionally draining legal actions by students.¿ Make the connection between good teaching pedagogy and the laws that govern higher education.¿ Enable faculty to participate in the drafting of policies that will honor students' legal rights and protect their programs from avoidable legal actions.¿ Help faculty identify when specific legal advice is needed, ideally before a legal challenge has been lodged in response to a faculty action.¿ Integrate case narratives to bring legal concepts and practices to life and make principles memorable to the reader by linking them to stories.

New Studies in Critical Realism and Education Routledge Critical Realism

In an increasingly more global society there are several arguments for looking at international and not the least national trends in pupil assessment. Firstly, there has been increasing attention about comparable levels of national performance in PISA tests. Secondly, looking at the experiences of other countries gives an indication of experiences, both positive and negative with new forms of assessment. How should international trends in pupil assessment be conceptualised, if the desire is to avoid for the moment the temptation of looking for national and historical peculiarities, that might potentially upset the validity of and dominance of such trends? Despite the strength of the assumption that assessment can be a form of positivist measurement, this book will explore if and how such forms of assessment might actually test critical thinking. This is a distinctly human attribute with the potential of transcending the view that psychometric testing is only suitable for the testing of motor skills.It can be noted that even though there is no single once and for all list of international trends that exert a dominant influence upon assessment practices in different countries, there are certain debates and challenges faced by policy makers and assessment practitioners alike: <ul> <li>selection vs. certification</li> <li>applying assessment criteria vs. holistic judgments</li> <li>technologically mediated assessment vs. non-technology mediated face-to-face assessment</li> <li>assessment for, of and as assessment</li> <li>assessment principles vs. a more pragmatic approach to assessment practices</li> </ul>As we have suggested in the desire to be more accurate the pursuit of different forms of assessment risk searching for the pupil’s knowledge, skills and attitudes as if they were in some way intransitives

This book introduces students and researchers to the philosophical issues at play in the growing field of Bayesian epistemology. It focuses not on how to do particular calculations but instead on the philosophical foundations at the convergence of belief and mathematical representation. Its central questions are: What is the nature of quantifying belief? What is the source of its norms? How is it reasonable to represent belief numerically? Accessible to those without any mathematical background, this book will become a much used classic in the field.
