Franciscan Writings: Hope amid Ecological Sin and Climate Emergency
by Dawn M. OSFThis book explains key Franciscan values and a hope-filled vision of peace, justice, and sustainability for all of creation. Dawn M. Nothwehr engages with a wide variety of topics such as: ecological sin, environmental destruction, a positive Franciscan soteriological path forward, practical tools necessary for conversion, planet-healing actions, and life-sustaining changes. Part 1 includes two chapters on the Old and New Testament texts frequently utilized by St. Francis and St. Clare that uphold values essential for Franciscan ecotheology. Part 2 features a chapter on St. Francis and one on St. Clare, mapping the distinct major landmarks of their vernacular theologies on creation care. The two chapters of Part 3 first outline the formal Franciscan theology and spirituality of St. Bonaventure of Bagnoregio, before diving into the Christology and ethics of Blessed John Duns Scotus. In four chapters, Part 4 focuses on major ecological issues with an interdisciplinary approach considering current science, Franciscan theology, ethics, spirituality and praxis.Designed for classroom use, each chapter includes a wide variety of pedagogical features: primary texts, reflection and application, questions for reflection and discussion, suggestions for action, a short prayer and suggestions for further study.
Francophone Perspectives of Learning Through Work: Conceptions, Traditions and Practices (Professional and Practice-based Learning #12)
by Laurent Filliettaz Stephen BillettThis book generates a comprehensive account of ways in which practice-based learning has been conceptualized in the Francophone context. Learning for occupations, and the educational and practice-based experiences supporting it are the subject of increased interest and attention globally. Governments, professional bodies, workplaces and workers are now looking for experiences that support the initial and ongoing development of occupational capacities. Consequently, more attention is being given to workplaces as sites for this learning. This focus on learning through work has long been emphasised in the Francophone world, which has developed distinct traditions and conceptions of associations between work and learning. These include ergonomics and professional didactics. Yet, whilst being accepted and of long standing in the Francophone world, these conceptions and traditions, and the practices supporting them are little known about or understood in the Anglophone world, which is the dominant medium for scientific and educational discussion. This book addresses this problem through drawing on accounts from France, Switzerland and Canada that make accessible and elaborate these traditions, conceptions and practices through examples of their applications to occupationally related learning. These accounts offer variations and culturally-specific developments of these traditions, but collectively emphasize a preoccupation with how both work and learning need to be understood through situated considerations of persons enacting their work practice. In this way, they offer noteworthy and worthwhile contributions to contemporary global considerations of learning through work.
Frank Porter Graham: Southern Liberal, Citizen of the World
by William A. LinkFrank Porter Graham (1886–1972) was one of the most consequential white southerners of the twentieth century. Born in Fayetteville and raised in Charlotte, Graham became an active and popular student leader at the University of North Carolina. After earning a graduate degree from Columbia University and serving as a marine during World War I, he taught history at UNC, and in 1930, he became the university's fifteenth president. Affectionately known as "Dr. Frank," Graham spent two decades overseeing UNC's development into a world-class public institution. But he regularly faced controversy, especially as he was increasingly drawn into national leadership on matters such as intellectual freedom and the rights of workers. As a southern liberal, Graham became a prominent New Dealer and negotiator and briefly a U.S. senator. Graham's reputation for problem solving through compromise led him into service under several presidents as a United Nations mediator, and he was outspoken as a white southerner regarding civil rights. Brimming with fresh insights, this definitive biography reveals how a personally modest public servant took his place on the national and world stage and, along the way, helped transform North Carolina.
FRANKENSTEIN: (PDF)
by Mary Shelley and Collins GCSE Introduction and notes by Mark RobertsThis edition of Frankenstein is perfect for GCSE-level students: it comes complete with the novel, plus an introduction providing context, and a glossary explaining key terms. ‘It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.’ Victor Frankenstein, a young scientist with huge ambition, exceeds his own expectations when he manages to create life from an assemblage of dead body parts. Yet he has failed to think through the consequences and responsibilities of his action, with fatal results. First published in 1818, this genre-defying novel – part gothic tale, part science fiction, part philosophical exploration – invites us to consider whom we sympathise with: the scientist playing God or the monstrous creature he has created.

Frankreich Jahrbuch 2005: Bildungspolitik im Wandel (Frankreich Jahrbuch)
by Dfi Deutsch-Französisches InstitutDie Bildungspolitik in Frankreich unterliegt einem tiefgreifenden Wandel. Die Integrationskraft der Schule ist an ihre Grenzen gestoßen, vormals große Projekte wie die ZEP (Zones d'éducation prioritaire) stehen unter zunehmend kritischer Betrachtung, das Schulleitungspersonal hat nur begrenzten Handlungsspielraum. Im Hochschulwesen stellen Globalisierung und Europäisierung ("Bologna-Prozess") sowohl die Grandes Ecoles als auch die Universitäten vor neue Herausforderungen. Das Frankreich-Jahrbuch greift alljährlich ein Thema der gesellschaftlichen, politischen, wirtschaftlichen oder kulturellen Aktualität auf, das den Schwerpunkt eines Bandes bildet. Daneben versammelt es wissenschaftliche Beiträge aus Politik-, Wirtschafts- und Kulturwissenschaft. Ein umfangreicher Dokumentationsteil mit Jahreschronik, sozioökonomischen Basisdaten sowie einer umfassenden Bibliographie deutschsprachiger Literatur zu Frankreich machen das Frankreich Jahrbuch zu einem aktuellen Nachschlagewerk.
Franz Schubert: Sexuality, Subjectivity, Song (PDF) (Cambridge Studies In Music Theory And Analysis Ser. #13)
by Lawrence Kramer Ian BentThis is the first book to examine Schubert's songs as active shaping forces in the culture of their era rather than as mere reflections of it. Responding to rising new forms of social organisation, Schubert discovered that songs could serve as a medium for shuffling and reshuffling the basic building blocks of identity and desire, especially sexual desire. His songs project a kaleidoscopic array of unexpected human types, all of whom are eligible for a sympathetic response, even the strangest and most disconcerting. Schubert sought to validate these subjective types without subordinating them to a central social or sexual norm. The book describes and contextualises this process and tracks it concretely in a wide variety of songs. Combining close attention to both music and poetry, the book addresses both specialists and non-specialists in a lively, accessible style unburdened by excessive jargon.

Fraud and Misconduct in Research: Detection, Investigation, and Organizational Response
by Nachman Ben-Yehuda Amalya Oliver-LumermanIn Fraud and Misconduct in Research, Nachman Ben-Yehuda and Amalya Oliver-Lumerman introduce the main characteristics of research misconduct, portray how the characteristics are distributed, and identify the elements of the organizational context and the practice of scientific research which enable or deter misconduct. Of the nearly 750 known cases between 1880 and 2010 which the authors examine, the overwhelming majority took place in funded research projects and involved falsification and fabrication, followed by misrepresentation and plagiarism. The incidents were often reported by the perpetrator’s colleagues or collaborators. If the accusations were confirmed, the organization usually punished the offender with temporary exclusion from academic activities and institutions launched organizational reforms, including new rules, the establishment of offices to deal with misconduct, and the creation of re-training and education programs for academic staff. Ben-Yehuda and Oliver-Lumerman suggest ways in which efforts to expose and prevent misconduct can further change the work of scientists, universities, and scientific research.

Frauen in Kunst und Kultur: Zwischen neuem Selbstbewusstsein und Quotenforderungen
by Heiner Barz Meral CerciWie ist es um die Gleichstellung von Mann und Frau in öffentlich geförderten Kulturinstitutionen in Deutschland bestellt? Welche Einstellungen und Barrieren sind gegebenenfalls für nicht erreichte Gleichstellungsziele verantwortlich? Auf diese Fragen gibt die im Auftrag des Frauenkulturbüros NRW erstellte Studie Antworten am Beispiel von NRW, des größten deutschen Bundeslandes. In die Datenanalysen wurde eine aktuelle Online-Befragung der vom Land geförderten Kultureinrichtungen einbezogen. Um auch die subjektiven Dimensionen der Gleichstellungsproblematik auszuleuchten, wurde die Datensammlung ergänzt durch narrative Einzelinterviews mit jungen und mit bestens etablierten KünstlerInnen und KulturmanagerInnen. Der Band dokumentiert die Geschlechterverhältnisse in Theatern und Philharmonien, in Kunstsammlungen und Literatur, für ArchitektInnen und Bildende KünstlerInnen, für Musikfestivals und Filmförderung – und nicht zuletzt auch an den Kunst- und Musikhochschulen.Vorwort von Ute Schäfer, Ministerin für Familie, Kinder, Jugend, Kultur und Sport in Nordrhein-Westfalen
