| Title: Art of Arts Integration |
| Sub-title: Theoretical Perspectives & Practical Guidelines |
| By (author): Tatiana Chemi |
| ISBN10-13: 877112151X : 9788771121513 |
| All children, regardless of age, gender, geographical and social background, whether they are well functioning or mentally disabled, thrive under the same conditions for well-being, and learn if they thrive. The challenges that our society is experiencing, make creativity and job satisfaction basic needs that we cannot ignore. This book is aimed primarily at the creative school and its brave defenders in a joint effort to continue to further develop the well-functioning elements and find new creative ways to meet our children's needs for learning, development, confidence and positivity. The purpose of this book is to inspire the teachers who believe that creativity should be a central focus in school, and that artistic creativity can greatly contribute to a more creative and reflective school. This inspiration is offered in the form of cases and examples illustrating the significant benefits that the integration of arts in teaching offers, such as positive emotions and cognitive intensity, but also in terms of concrete, effective practical tools. |

| Title: Catalyst Architecture |
| By (author): Hans Kiib, Gitte Marling |
| ISBN10-13: 8771122230 : 9788771122237 |
| This book raises a discussion in regard to architecture's role as a catalyst for urban development. Through studies of eight architectural projects in large cities on four different continents, the focus is placed on how architecture can promote the enriching experiences of the tolerant, the democratic, the learning and the experience rich city. In other words: The city worth living in, worth supporting and worth investing in. The projects operate with a mix of design programs, organised so that they invite diverse user groups to a variety of activities. Visual and other sensuous architectural effects frame the interaction between the projects and the human activities within their urban context -- an interaction that indicates a direction for a new narrative about the potential of place. The book is written for everybody with an interest in architecture and urban life in large cities and is a must-read for students of architecture, urban design, town planning, urban geography, urban sociology and aesthetic studies. |

| Title: Challenge of Complexity |
| Edited by: Gunnar Scott Reinbacher, Ole Preben Riis, Jorg Zeller |
| ISBN10-13: 8771120971 : 9788771120974 |
| In a metaphorical sense a thing is complex if it comprehends a magnitude of homogeneous or different things. However, it depends on the kind of comprehension, if we conceive something that consists of many things as complex or not. It is perhaps most distinctive for complex phenomena that their properties and behaviour are not reducible to the properties and behaviour of their elements. This poses some challenging metaphysical problems. The articles in this anthology do not follow a leitmotif -- aside from that all of them have a look at complexity problems in different areas of scientific research and show in which ways the challenges of complexity can be answered. |

| Edited by: Marianne Georgsen, Par-Ola Zander |
| ISBN10-13: 8771120793 : 9788771120790 |
| This book presents discussions of how information and communication technology (ICT) can play a vital role in developing education and thereby developing communities, countries and regions. Through examples of current research in developing countries, a number of highly relevant questions and topics are dealt with, such as: Approaches to user involvement and participation in development; Knowledge and its role in development, particularly in higher education; Digital literacy and ways of developing it; Pedagogic approaches; Learning cultures in globalised education; Teacher training and education. The chapters in this volume are written by members of the international research group on ICT for Development (ICT4D) at Aalborg University together with researchers from around the world. This book is the first of its kind to concentrate fully on the relationship between ICT for development in the context of education. The book is essential reading for researchers, educational planners, policy advisers, students and educators. |

| Title: Conceptual & Applied Approaches |
| Edited by: Tia G B Hansen, Kristine Jensen Lopez, Peter Berliner |
| ISBN10-13: 8771121013 : 9788771121018 |
| Human beings are inherently cultural beings -- growing up in an environment that is steeped in culture and developing our self-construal accordingly. The psychology book series "Self in Culture in Mind (SICIM)" gathers current research perspectives on this issue. This second volume in the series offers new theoretical and methodological frameworks for a deeper understanding of how self-construal is enabled, influenced and lived in culture. The book comprises four approaches to basic research, four applied perspectives, and a meta-theoretical integration. The basic research approaches highlight the roles of early memories, cultural artefacts, parents and peers in developing a cultured self, and examine the relationship between well-being and self-serving bias across culture; and the applications concern psychopathology's variation with culture, identity reconstruction after immigration and gendered violence, and family therapy across cultures. The integrative chapter identifies different kinds of self-knowledge captured by the preceding approaches and argues for a dynamic understanding of self-in-culture. |

| Title: Culture & Identity in Organisations |
| Edited by: Lise-Lotte Holmgreen |
| ISBN10-13: 8771120432 : 9788771120431 |
| Culture is an all-pervasive concept and phenomenon that exerts influence on our social lives in many different ways, not least in business and working life. Taking a discursive and practice-related - approach to culture and intercultural collaboration, this book offers insight into a number of situations and incidents from the world of business and public organisations in which ways of talking about culture play a salient role in the development of collaboration and the shaping of identities and social roles. Thus, through the highlighting and discussion of cases from various professional contexts, the book aims at providing an understanding of the mechanisms at play when we meet, talk and work with people from other cultures, while suggesting how opportunities may be seized and challenges met. The book is comprised of ten case studies, which provide theoretical, methodological, and practical perspectives on the interplay between discourse, culture and collaboration, and the effect of this on identity formation and the construction of social roles. This involves the presentation and discussion of these concepts in various organisational settings such as large cross-border and multinational businesses, the public health sector, education and the European Union. The authors are scholars from Danish universities and business schools who have contributed substantially to the development of the field through the publication and dissemination of research in international journals and with international publishers. The book is for readers(scholars, students and professionals alike) who take an interest in cultural issues and the way they are constructed in professional settings. |

| Title: Finding Solutions to the Challenges of Internationalisation |
| Edited by: Marin A Marinov, Olav J Sorensen |
| ISBN10-13: 8771124829 : 9788771124828 |
| The book brings about the invincible process of internationalisation, encompassing various levels of analysis. Taking a holistic point of view, the volume brings about key alterations preserving how economies, industries and firms adjust their activities, value systems and cognitive frameworks to accomplish relevant approaches to the internationalisation. In the process of the internationalisation of firms and industries as well as the liberalisation of the economy there have appeared new interdependencies among these actors alongside the value chain as well as among individual countries and industries. |

| Title: Future Challenges |
| Sub-title: For Health & Healthcare in Europe |
| Edited by: G Giarelli, B Jacobsen, M Nielsen, G S Reinbacher |
| ISBN10-13: 877112568X : 9788771125689 |
| The current climate of fiscal austerity poses significant challenges for the health of populations across Europe, and deteriorating social conditions make some groups of individuals especially vulnerable to illness and have the potential to exacerbate existing inequalities in health and in access to healthcare. These challenges are occurring alongside other significant trends: the health system reforms, which are shifting the emphasis of healthcare from public provision towards a public/private mix, the integration of health and social services, nudging as a new approach to health promotion, the redefinition of the service user as a consumer, a growing emphasis on individual responsibility for health and lifestyles and on biological citizenship, the pharmaceuticalisation of everyday life and the increasing deterioration in the mental health of people in contemporary societies. The work of healthcare professionals is also undergoing significant changes, as their work comes under increased surveillance and monitoring, raising implications for the relations with patients, for the kind of care that is provided, and for the experience of patients. In different ways, and based on different cases, this book deals with challenges for health and healthcare in a European context now and in the future. This includes challenges on an individual level, such as individual views and behaviour, and on a societal level, such as inequality. The book applies to students, researchers, healthcare professionals and decision makers within health and healthcare in a national or international context. |

| Title: Heritage & Change in the Arctic |
| Sub-title: Resources for the Precent & the Future |
| Edited by: Robert C Thomsen, Lill Rastad Bjorst |
| ISBN10-13: 8771126244 : 9788771126242 |
| In recent years, rapid changes to Arctic environments and conditions have spurred much anal-ysis into the melting of sea and inland ice, the opening up of new sea routes, impacts on flora and fauna, and increased access to globally desired resources. In this book the focus is di-rected at a more rarely considered aspect of climate-induced change in the region: the Arctic cultures and societies that both affect and are themselves affected by the changes. For the people of the Arctic, change provokes and re-emphasises positions as rights and landholders, as well as ambivalent positions as stakeholders, developers and wardens of resources. In times characterised by such change and ambivalence, heritage offers itself as a means by which a community can meaningfully relate to both past and future; but its use (and the inclusion and exclusion of particular identity-building elements) must also be continuously negotiated. In this book scholars from the social and human sciences explore change and transformation from two resource-inspired angles: it keeps a constant focus on the impact of change on tangible and intangible heritage, as well as on some of the cultural and social heritage features that must themselves be considered as resources in an environment characterised by change. |
