Originally published in 1982, this book discusses the role of adult education in social and community action. In particular it presents a critical assessment of ''community education'' and the theories of Illich, Freire and Gramsci and it proves that there is a radical adult education tradition in the USA, Europe and North America which can offer many insights into the contemporary debate about the role of adult learning. The material is based on a decade of practical involvement in community action and education in Great Britain and Northern Ireland, where - despite deep political and religious divisions - community action has united Catholics and Protestants in a common resolve.

Mobile context-awareness is a popular research trend in the field of ubiquitous computing. Advances in mobile device sensory hardware and the rise of ‘virtual’ sensors such as web application programming interfaces (APIs) mean that the mobile user is exposed to a vast range of data that can be used for new advanced applications. Mobile Context Awareness presents work from industrial and academic researchers, focusing on novel methods of context acquisition in the mobile environment – particularly through the use of physical and virtual sensors – along with research into new applications utilising this context. In addition, the book provides insights into the technical and usability challenges involved in mobile context-awareness, as well as observations on current and future trends in the field.

Stuttering is a mystery. The 99% of people who speak fluently are often shocked when they meet someone whose speech stutters and halts. What''s far more surprising, however, is how little most stutterers know about the condition despite living with it their entire lives: What causes it? Why does it sometimes get better, why does it sometimes get worse? Will it ever go away?
These interruptions to fluent speech may seem minor, but they can have a major impact on a person''s life. Stutterers have endured the slings and arrows of doubt, insecurity, and rejection for millenia, but that doesn''t need to be the case.
Modern academic research is demystifying how speech is produced in the brain, as well as how the brains of stutterers differ from those of their fluent peers. Even further, this research can be turned into a plan of action that stutterers can use to not only increase the fluency of their speech, but how often they speak. And for parents, this research offers clarity and guidance for the often sudden and unexpected appearance of stuttering in a child.
Rooted in his own experience as a stutterer, author Tom Lovett takes the reader on an extensive but accessible tour of this peculiar world that hides in plain sight.
