Democratic politics involves a series of multi-directional conversations. Effective conversations have the potential to engage, educate, and animate both citizens and governmental officials. On the individual level, discovering successful conversational strategies benefits both political and social interaction. This book offers guidelines for conducting effective conversations personally, politically, and beyond such that readers of this book are unlikely to ever again look at conversation in the same way. New technologies and social trends both challenge and potentially enhance traditional face-to-face and media dominated conversations. Understanding the state, quality and potential of political conversations provides a unique perspective for evaluating and potentially improving government "by the people."

Why start a social skills program? The question is not why, but why not? With inclusive education becoming the norm in schools nationwide, teachers often struggle to address students' non-academic needs--but teachers need ready-to-use lessons that won't interfere with their curriculum. QUEST (Questioning, Understanding, and Exploring Social Skills and Pragmatic Language Together) is a social skills program created to help middle school students with ASD who struggle with pragmatic language and social skills. Developed by a school social worker and speech language pathologist, the program uses an intensive, proactive approach to teaching social skills, combining written instruction with games, activities, and student interaction. Six helpful units--School Survival Basics, Understanding and Managing Emotion, Communication Skills, Making Friends and Interacting with Peers, Personal Safety, Vocational Readiness--can be implemented either chronologically or on their own. Evidence-based research supports the methods used and students have a great time learning-by-doing, through role-play and real-world experience. Parents are kept in the loop with email updates and evaluations. Everyone wins with this program! Best of all, the book includes a CD of printable worksheets, letters, forms, and more! QUEST covers: Greetings, Paying Attention, Daily Hygiene, Asking for Help, Understanding Feelings, Getting Angry/Calming Down, Managing Stress, Starting a Conversation, Making and Keeping Friends, Gossip, Bullying, and Teasing, Resisting Peer Pressure, Dating, Internet and E-mail Safety, and many more!

This volume offers a remarkable collection of theoretically and practically grounded conversations with internationally recognized scholars, who share their perspectives on Global Citizenship Education (GCE) in relation to university research, teaching, and learning. Conversations on Global Citizenship Education brings together the narratives of a diverse array of educators who share their unique experiences of navigating GCE in the modern university. Conversations focus on why and how educators’ theoretical and empirical perspectives on GCE are essential for achieving an all-embracing GCE curriculum which underpins global peace. Drawing on the Freirean concept of "conscientization", GCE is presented as an educational imperative to combat growing inequality, seeping nationalism, and post-truth politics. This timely volume will be of interest to educators who are seeking to develop their theoretical understanding of GCE into teaching practice, researchers and students who are new to GCE and who seek dynamic starting points for their research, and general audience who are interested in learning more about the history, philosophy, and practice of GCE.

It was one of the most significant developments of the post-war era: China finally abandoning its close relationship with the Soviet Union to begin detente with the USA. Astonishingly, the man who helped make it happen was a British aristocrat, Ivor Montagu, a Soviet spy who knew Stalin and dined with Trotsky. Even more remarkably, the means to this rapprochement was table tennis, a sport loved by both Chairman Mao and Montagu. For years, Montagu had lived a dual life, working to spread communism and also table tennis around the world. Surprisingly, the two strands of his career would come together in an event of global significance. Nicholas Griffin weaves a compelling story to reveal the background to the famous occasion in 1971, when the USA's Glenn Cowan, a 19-year-old hippie, befriended China's world champion Zhuang Zedong, who was imprisoned during the Cultural Revolution. Within days, the Americans would be playing the Chinese in front of 18,000 fans in Beijing, with the whole world watching. It was the beginning of a thaw in Sino-US relations that forced the Soviets into a crippling arms race that acted as a catalyst to pressuring them into errors that would draw the Cold War to an end. Sometimes sport truly can have the biggest consequences.

Communicating Partners, the result of over thirty years of clinical practice and research work with pre-verbal and verbal children with language delays, offers an innovative approach to working with late talking children that focuses on developing relationships through mutual understanding. Providing detailed maps of what children and their life partners need to do to ensure effective social relationships, the program focuses on five key stages of communication development - interactive play, nonverbal communication, social language, conversation, and civil behavior - and five life-long responsive strategies to use every day to build relationships within the child's own world. Communicating Partners addresses issues such as: * What does a child need to do before language? * What are effective ways to help a child socialize and communicate from early play through civil conversations? * How have parents successfully helped children learn to communicate at home? * How can a child develop socially effective language and conversation skills? * How can a child with an autistic spectrum disorder, Down Syndrome or other significant delays develop rich social relationships? * What have families done to build warm social relationships with their children? * What is developmentally effective therapy and education when social and communicative delays are of major concern? Illustrated with personal stories and research findings, and containing a wealth of practical suggestions to help parents, teachers, and professionals understand their child's world, Communicating Partners is an invaluable resource for all those interacting and working with late talking children.

Conversations in Pan was fun to write. The idea came to me after I lost a job that I loved, and, which gave me financial stability. My life went into a free fall. So to save my sanity and to try to find my direction again, I turned to one of my special and sacred gifts, writing poetry. This book grounded me. The process of writing about an instrument that I love gave me purpose, determination, discipline. It took me out of the depths of despair and forced me to reaffirm my faith in God. I learned so much while writing these poems. God also placed some special people in my life. Had I not lost that job, our paths would have never crossed. A whole new world had opened up to me in writing and completing this book. I am so much richer for it. Rich in spirit, in sound friendship, mentally able and stable to accomplish and conquer all! The friends I have gained when this opportunity presented itself will be in my life forever. They have made me a much better individual. Thank you! May the Almighty bless you with grace, mercy, and favor! The purpose of this book is to enlighten, entertain, and educate using my poetic voice and platform. To introduce to some and expand to others, showing how poetry can be incorporated into a culture that is rich, vibrant, and unique; the world of the Steelpan.

This book is suitable to be utilized as a learning process material for students whose class activity are focused in elaborating cultural communication. A number of quotes on opinions, statements, research results, and other sources from relevant experts are successfully collected and neatly sorted according to the concept of chronological order, which would support the students’ learning. The data exposed are the bases to construct two-way communications among people in a community or society who belongs to the category of different culture groups. The examples of psychological, socio-cultural problems put forward in this book are also highly representative, because they can be used as cultural communication strategy. By imparting the understanding of definitions, terms, principles, and meanings from the cultural aspects, the author invites the readers, especially university students who are learning how to build the bridge of communication through a medium known as cross cultural understanding. Additionally, clues for discussion arranged by the authors are quite apprehensible for students to broaden their horizon of cross-cultural understanding. These clues for discussion offer chances for the students to search for various other sources, such as blogs, research articles, journals, valid news, and so on. Of course, this will bring them to the knowledge that, without putting aside the role of language, different culture will affect the ways of communication. It is no doubt that this book will be very useful according to its purpose. This is due to the fact that the main author, Sri Herminingrum, is an academic with the field of expertise in culture. Not only as a senior lecturer of the cultural and literary studies but also as an independent researcher whose main concern is about socio-cultural phenomena, which highly support the launch of this book. Of course, the contribution of the second author, Sri Utami Budi, whose field of study is related to the written material, is very valuable for the completion of this book.
