Bok nummer två i serien Wingfeathersagan. Fantasy-äventyret fortsätter!
I första boken i serien, Mörkret över Aerwiar, fick syskonen Igiby reda på hemligheten om sig själva: de är de förlorade juvelerna från Anniera, kungabarn, gömda för att skyddas medan deras hemland och världen i övrigt faller isär. Men de blir avslöjade och nu är flykten ett faktum. De måste ta sig norrut, eller möta döden. I andra boken, Flykten mot isvidderna, får vi fortsätta följa den excentriska familjen med syskonen Janner, Tink och Leeli vars namn egentligen är Wingfeather deras mamma som är en drottning och deras morfar som är en gammal pirat. Flykten är ett farligt företag och det blir än farligare när avundsjuka och bitterhet hotar att slita isär familjen. Flykten mot isvidderna är en hisnande berättelse om kärlek, identitet, syskonskap och mod, som riktar sig till 9-12-åringar.
Sagt om Mörkret över Aerwiar: "Språkligt är det tämligen välskrivet med många rafflande replikskiften, detaljerade beskrivningar och vardagligt språk. /.../ Författaren Andrew Peterson lyckas på ett bra sätt måla upp ett fascinerande landskap. Bokens tema är intressant där man skildrar ett samhälle satt under främmande förtryck." John Karlsson, BTJ-häftet nr 5, 2018
Andrew Peterson är författare, låtskrivare och artist från Nashville. Hittills har han skrivit fyra böcker i The Wingfeather Saga, och fler är på väg.

Civility is a paradoxical virtue. For some, civility is not a virtue at all, but rather is an important civic duty, operating as a synonym for other civic dispositions generally valued, such as respect or tolerance. For others, civility has a dark side and is used by those with power to question and silence the voices and interests of others. On the other hand, and more positively, civility is a vital and often-invoked virtue for political life and debate--a virtue that also holds moral relevance. It is certainly the case that a (real or perceived) lack of civility and a prevalence of incivility is generally regarded as a vice and as damaging to healthy civic discourse and relationships. Despite repeated calls for greater civility in public life, the concept remains contested and hard to pin down precisely. The key question is whether--and if so, precisely why--civility should be considered a virtue.In The Virtue of Civility, a diverse group of leading scholars offer their insights and analysis into civility as a virtue. They bring a wide range of cultural and philosophical perspectives as they think through and define civility within democracies today. The result is a comprehensive, critical, and compelling account of civility as a virtue.

Ethics and the Good Teacher brings together reviews of existing literature and analysis of empirical data from three research projects conducted by the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues – The Good Teacher, Schools of Virtue and Teacher Education – to explore the ethical dimensions of the teaching profession.The book is premised on the idea that what constitutes a "good" teacher involves more than technical skills and subject knowledge. Understood as a professional activity, teaching involves an important ethical dimension, a fact that has come under increased scrutiny – and some would argue increased threat – over recent years as education and schooling have become shaped by market logic and accountability. Addressing the influence of personal and professional character on teachers and teaching, and containing clear implications for policy, practice and research, this book will be of great interest to teachers and other professionals working in education settings, as well as those working in educational policy. It will also appeal to academics, undergraduate students and postgraduate students researching the teaching profession and ethics/morality in education more generally.

The Rapid Prototyping Game provides a "systems design" vehicle where players can group basic game elements into manageable categories. They then define and isolate specific elements so they can analyze how they interact with each other in a game they develop. Through gameplay, players are able to critically identify how adding, subtracting, or combining game elements can create dynamic changes in a game. The Rapid Prototyping Game will appeal to experienced game designers who are stuck in a rut, beginning game designers who need to learn how systems design and the iterative process works, and also to the educator who wants to introduce a "hands on approach" to the classroom.

What is globalisation?How are its effects felt by different people across the world?How can we help young people flourish in a world characterised by globalisation?Conflict, poverty, breaches of human rights, and environmental sustainability are everyday issues for global citizens today, old and young. Global Learning and Education presents a detailed and challenging introduction to a central concern facing education systems and curricula around the world: How young people understand and experience globalisation and how meaningful global learning can be developed. Encouraging a critical and reflective approach in order to advance understanding of a range of theoretical and practical factors, it considers the meaning and definitions of globalisation, global citizenship and global education. Global Learning and Education explores key issues including interconnectedness and interdependency, cultural diversity, social justice and sustainable development. It considers how global learning should and can imbue all aspects of education, within curriculum subjects, through project based learning, and through extra-curricular activities that help students participate and engage in global issues. It argues the importance of the mission and ethos of a school itself, of shaping global learning for different educational contexts, and of ensuring teaching and learning meets the needs of individual learners.Global Learning and Education is a comprehensive, thought-provoking - sometimes contentious - introduction for educationalists concerned with what globalisation means for our young people. Illustrated throughout with case studies that seek to inspire creativity and hope, and including questions and suggested reading for further investigation, it is essential reading for all those involved in the teaching and learning of young people, as well as those studying this vital topic on Education Studies and Masters level courses.

Building on extensive, internationally leading empirical research conducted by the Jubilee Centre for Character and Virtues, this book explores the soldier as a virtuous professional through a close examination of soldiers’ character and ethical reasoning.Starting from the view that virtues such as courage, honesty, loyalty and integrity are core to being a professional soldier, the book draws on insights from British soldiers at three stages of their career – officer cadets (at Sandhurst), junior lieutenants/captains (attending the Junior Officer Tactical Awareness Course), and senior captains (participating in the Captain’s Warfare Course). Drawing upon the Jubilee Centre’s Soldiers of Character study, the book explores soldiers’ character in the professional domain.Including clear implications for practice and research, this is essential reading for all those interested in the character of soldiers in both a professional and academic setting.
