This book touches on many pedagogical topics related to arts integration asserting that every classroom teacher can integrate arts without being an expert. The contributors have diverse lived experience in K-12 classrooms in addition to their theoretical and conceptual knowledge of the arts and interdisciplinary projects. Central to the content of this text are discussions of embodied learning that fosters critical analysis and critical thinking through lived experience of creative process. The authors argue the merits of the arts as a basic language of learning, and arts-based pedagogies as a sustained approach to learning in K-12 education.

We often think of the civilizations of ancient Greece and Rome as discrete incubators of Western culture, places where ideas about everything from government to art to philosophy were free to develop and then be distributed outward into the wider Mediterranean world. But this book reminds us that Greece and Rome did not develop in isolation. All around them were rural communities who had remarkably different cultures, ones few of us know anything about. Telling the stories of these nearly forgotten people, it offers a long-overdue enrichment of how we think about classical antiquity.
This book reveals something seemingly counterintuitive: that 19th century class struggles over land are deeply implicated in the transition to 21st century financial capitalism. Narrating the close-knit histories of industrial land, industrial elites, and the working class, it offers a novel understanding of land financialization as a "lived" process: the outcome of a relentless, socially embodied historical unfolding, in which shifts in land's material, economic, and symbolic roles impact both local everyday lives and global capital flows.
This book tells the story of a young boy's life at residential school through the eyes of a child. Drawn from Montour's first-hand experiences at Mount Elgin Indian Residential School between 1910 and 1915, it is an ironic play on "the school novel," namely 1857's Tom Brown's Schooldays by Thomas Hughes.
A history of "priming" research that analyzes the field's underlying assumptions and experimental protocols to shed new light on a contemporary crisis in social psychology. This book offers the first detailed history of priming research from its origins in the early 1980s to its recent collapse. It places priming experiments in the context of contemporaneous debates over not only the nature of automaticity but also the very foundations of social psychology.
