Drawing from work on mobilities and geographies of the lifecourse, this collection is concerned with the ways in which age, as a relational concept, is constructed and played out in mobile urban space. With studies of ageing and mobility often focusing on discrete age groups, most notably children and older people, this study seeks to fill a gap in existing literature by exploring mobility in relation to the lifecourse and generation, looking not only at the margins. Whilst some generations are increasingly mobile, others are less so and this disparity in mobility opportunity is relational as age is relational. This book addresses gaps in knowledge in relational geographies of ageing, whilst contributing to literature on mobility and transport, in particular the burgeoning field of mobility (in)justice. Here mobility is considered in its broadest sense, for example in relation to the movement or lack of movement of bodies and to computer-mediated intergenerational communications. Through focusing on urban mobile spaces, from very local spaces of medical care to global spaces of migration that are the context for intergenerational mobilities, this collection explores these interdependencies and considers ways in which intergenerational mobilities are conceptualised and researched.

Improving Classroom Learning with ICT examines the ways in which ICT can be used in the classroom to enhance teaching and learning in different settings and across different subjects. Weaving together evidence of teachers’ and learners’ experiences of ICT, the authors: explain why the process of integrating ICT is not straightforward; discuss whether hardware and infrastructure alone are sufficient to ensure full integration and exploitation of ICT investment; emphasise the pivotal role that teachers play in supporting learning with ICT across the curriculum; argue that teachers need a greater understanding of how to put ICT to use in teaching and learning; highlight that out-of-school use of ICT has an impact on in-school learning; consider what kinds of professional development are most effective in supporting teachers to use technologies creatively and productively. Case studies are used to illustrate key issues and to elaborate a range of theoretical ideas that can be used in the classroom.This book will be of interest to all those concerned with maximising the benefits of ICT in the classroom.

This book offers an original and challenging theoretical and empirical approach to mapping the changing nature of teachers' work historically and in the contemporary period. It is an attempt to understand how and in what ways teachers' work has changed following the demise of the post-war settlement and the imminent collapse of teachers' project of professionalism secured through solidaristic strategies such as unionism. Dr. Robertson argues that in order to understand these issues, a more rigorous set of conceptual tools around social class, occupational power and worker control is needed. The first two sections of the book set out to address that problem. The final section elaborates on the changing contexts and conditions for contemporary teachers more generally, and argues that structural and ideological changes within educational provision have led to differing capacities in the realization of class assets.

He'd say, "e;Not now."e; It was because he did not know how it ended. Also he would remind them of all the thousands of interviews he had done over the years and to "e;let the younger actors do these interviews now."e; Because the autobiography had not been done, Susan wanted to do it to help in some way to preserve his legacy. Susan now resides in San Diego, California, to be closer to family and hopes folks will enjoy the book. She knows her husband better and that he did not compromise himself in the film industry and in life.

In the Mind of Madness is a collection of poetry that deals with different aspects of life. It starts with poems about what it is like in the mind of someone with bipolar depression and anxiety. Next there are poems about different types of love such as romantic and a mother''s love. It then goes on to family and losing a loved one. The next section expresses poems related to one''s faith. Finally at the end of the book, the poems capture snapshots of experiences that happen as life unfolds. As you read through these poems, you may relate to one or more of them. Some of them touch on difficult topics. As it says in the introduction, your stories are not all the same, but it helps to share the load. Just maybe, these words will make you think and provide a new outlook for you.

Isabelle Petersen, known as Ike, a private investigator, has been summoned to a privately owned Caribbean island resort to investigate the death of one of the owners. The co-owner of the resort does not believe his brother was killed as the result of a boating accident but rather believes he was murdered because of his brother''s suspicion that something illegal was happening on the island, but he had no idea what it could be. Ike is there to look into anything that seems suspicious and report to the remaining owner, Paul MacKenzie, whatever she discovers. But one of the employees of the resort is becoming a distraction because of the way he commands her mental attention and physical attraction.Paul MacKenzie, known as Mac, is certain his brother Phillip''s boating accident was the result of foul play. Phil had summoned him to the island to help him discover what was being perpetrated "right under his nose" because of one side of a phone conversation he''d overheard. So Mac had taken the advice of his former commanding officer in the Army Special Forces and hired Ike Petersen to come and look into operations at the resort and see if they could discover what he and Phil had been unable to uncover. Mac soon discovers Ike Petersen is not who he thought she was, but she is determined to do what he and his brother could not, even while fighting the love Mac is determined to offer...whether she wants it or not.Together, they discover why Phillip had to die and uncover who was behind it...with Ike''s life at risk in the end.
