These global value chains are being strongly promoted by international organisations, such as the World Bank and the World Trade Organization, but social and political backlash is mounting in a growing variety of forms.This ambitious volume brings together academics and activists from Europe to address the social and environmental imbalances of global production. Thinking creatively about how to reform the current economic system, this book will be essential reading for those interested in building sustainable alternatives at local, regional and global levels.

When German General Rommel and the lead elements of what would become the Afrika Korps landed in Libya in February 1941, nobody could have foreseen the legendary status they would achieve. Sent to support the faltering Italians, they were eventually able to drive the Allies to the very gates of Egypt. Fighting over hostile and rugged terrain, often outnumbered and outgunned, they were only finally undone by their defeat at El Alamein and Allied landings to their rear. This collection of photographs is taken from the albums of three members of the vaunted Afrika Korps. For the first time the daily reality of the North African campaign can be seen from the German point of view. With numerous photographs of vehicles and men at work, this collection paints a portrait of the rugged and dangerous conditions as well as the harsh and brutal nature of desert warfare.

These amazingly well preserved photographs originate from German collection. They cover the full gamut of the dreadful conditions that all troops involved in that ghastly war experienced between 1914 and 1918. The collection portrays life and conditions in the German trenches, the carnage of the wrecked villages and buildings in which they lived and fought and views of the destruction wrought by the Allied offensives. Many of the photos show downed British and French aircraft and often with their crew, dead or alive. Captured British and French troops are seen being held before shipment to PoW camps well behind the lines. The utter destruction of the country surrounding the Front is difficult to comprehend.This is not a book for the feint hearted since it clearly portrays the true horror of World War One as experienced by the German Army.Authors: Jon Sutherland has written extensively on military history and warfare. Much of his previous work has concerned the American involvement in the European in World War I and the European theater of World Wars I & II. Diane Canwell has written works on European history and is much involved in the research for this book.

This book contains selected images from three different Royal Flying Corps albums. Photographs include training in Canada and at Tangmere. There is a large variety of different aircraft featured, as well as images of pilots and officers. Also included are a number of photographs from the collection of the late Lieutenant William Shorter, who was shot down over German lines in 1918 at the age of twenty.

"A very nice release about the most recognizable German aircraft of the Second World War" from the author of Rommel''s Army in the Desert (Inscale.org).The photographs in this collection belonged to Luftwaffe Stuka rear gunner and radio operator Erich Heine. The collection includes photographs of flights of Stukas in formation, operating training aircraft, and a selection of different Luftwaffe uniforms and flight gear. The photographer was based for a period in Czechoslovakia, was shot down over the Ukraine in August 1943 and for a time was listed as missing in action.This collection offers a unique insight into the German experience of World War Two, providing the opportunity to access materials that have never been published before"The book very ably documents the war career of the aircraft and the pilots, reproducing some outstanding images of war." —Firetrench"The most remarkable thing about this album is that it contains photographs of perhaps the most famous Stuka ace, Hans-Ulrich Rudel." —Inscale.org"The photographs . . . show the life of Erich and Luftwaffe Stuka crew members through training/deployment/leave and include funerals of squadron members . . . The narrative gives a good overview of the Stuka in service and the photographs show varied views of the aircraft and day to day life within the squadron." —WW2 Talk

This work offers nine principles for brain-based approaches to accelerating learning, improving motivation and raising achievement. It offers the reader a coherent structure and describes: guaranteed ways to motivate learners; esteem-building tools for schools, teachers and parents; how to access and teach to different types of intelligence; and 17 different ways in which schools can make accelerated learning work.

This work takes the research completed by Alistair Smith together with the practical methods developed by Nicola Call and presents them in an easy-to-follow model. This book contains hundreds of practical examples of success. The ALPS Method will show anyone who works in primary classrooms how to motivate, stimulate and inspire the children in their care.

A book of practical physical movements to aid learning. The proposition is that physical movement can offer reprieve, it can link to learning, it can improve motor control and it can be fun and memorable in itself. There is an increasing body of knowledge that links physical movement and learning. What the best teachers and the wisest parents have believed for years is affirmed in this book of physical activities. The book contains over 100 activities, all fully illustrated with clear instructions on how to develop them. Children and older learners alike will benefit from practising them!

This book focuses on the 'learning' in Accelerated Learning. It provides over 200 ideas and activities for putting theory into practice. ACCELERATED LEARNING: A User's Guide answers the following questions: In what ways are today's learners different from their predecessors? What is Accelerated Learning? Can Accelerated Learning be used in any learning situation? Will Accelerated Learning actively engage learners? Is there a smarter way to mark and set homework? How does Accelerated Learning link to thinking skills? How do I use the new technologies? ACCELERATED LEARNING: A User's Guide supplies the solid background to make learning happen. The authors have used their combined experience to write an accessible guide to the Accelerated Learning method based on their own successes. Their message is 'Take the ideas and turn them into your own success story.' Beautifully designed in an easy-to-read summary format, this book 'walks the talk'.ACCELERATED LEARNING: A User's Guide contains: A new and updated Accelerated Learning Cycle; Practical activities for each stage of the cycle; An outline of why Accelerated Learning should be used; How to work in groups; Worthwhile ways of integrating new technologies; Independent learning and problem solving; How to improve marking - so you do less and students learn more; Examples of staff development approaches; Guidelines on how to get started

AT LAST! Alistair Smith''s latest book is the product of three years research. If you want to know more about the brain and learning, this is the book you need. With separate sections on the development cycle of the learning brain from conception to old age, the book sets out to separate fact from fallacy, findings from fads. Clear guidance is given as to what helps and what hinders learning. Highly readable, illustrated throughout and well researched, the book will appeal to parents, educators and policy-makers. The Brain''s Behind It promises to become the definitive book on the brain and learning.
