American English Primary Colors is a new 4-level course for young learners. It is packed with fun activities which ensure that children use English in a purposeful way. Right from the start, they are fully involved in thinking for themselves, doing things for themselves and making things themselves, all of which is underpinned by a strong structural syllabus. The Student's Books have engaging stories, puzzles, games, songs and chants, and craft activities. The course includes Activity Books, Teacher's Books, Class Audio CDs, Songs/Songs and Stories CDs, and Vocabulary Cards. The course encourages children to think about the world around them and, at the higher levels, to make connections with other areas of the curriculum. This approach makes language learning meaningful and memorable.

This course for young students is a success story all over the world, winning praise from both teachers and students alike for its innovative approach that really does work. The Teacher's Book is clear and comprehensive and includes an 'A-Z of Methodology' reference section. Videos and tests are also available for all levels of the course.

How can we involve students in classroom decisions? What difficulties might arise? What benefits can be expected? This collection addresses these questions by bringing together accounts from teachers who have introduced shared decision-making with students. The book describes the rationale for process syllabuses, which aim to provide a structure for negotiation. It provides examples from primary, secondary, tertiary and teacher education from a wide range of contexts - including Europe, the USA, South America, and Asia. The collection focuses on practice and provides a framework for teachers to experiment in their own classrooms.

In We Live with the Sea, Andrew Littlejohn addresses the implementation and controversy surrounding safety infrastructures following the March 2011 tsunami in northeastern Japan. While the Japanese government proposed and enforced infrastructural transformations in the wake of the tsunami, these changes did not consider the impact on residents who built their communities and livelihoods around the coast. Focusing on the tsunami survivors who resisted government plans for increased coastal defenses, Littlejohn highlights alternative proposals offered by the local residents as well as the environmental, ecological, and more-than-human dependencies and imbrications those proposals reveal. In doing so, he argues that imposed modernist safety structures undermine the very things they claim to protect, showing how attempts to “ecologize” safety may offer more sustainable ways of thinking about security, preservation, and infrastructure.
