This is must read for all 11-18 geography educators. Teaching Geography 11-18 digs deep. It asks not only what geography is for, but bases its answer on a set of key concepts able to sustain an exciting and relevant curriculum.-Professor Noel Castree, University of Manchester, UK This engaging and stimulating book aims to radically re-shape and sharpen debates in geography education by taking an entirely fresh approach to both the subject and its place in secondary education. Key questions addressed In this book include: What is the place of geography within the secondary school curriculum? To what extent does school geography reflect and engage with contemporary issues and theories from the wider subject? What are the issues, challenges and opportunities of a concept-led approach to teaching geography? What are the implications of ICT, media and technology for the future of geography teaching in schools? Influenced by the revised national curriculum for geography which has reduced the prescribed content to be covered, this book offers an objective view of the concept-led approach. The new focus on concepts represents a significant shift in how geography is to be taught in schools, yet there has been little extended discussion of what a 'concept-led' approach to teaching and learning would entail. This book fills that void by examining geography's key concepts, and providing teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum planning using a concept-led approach. This is essential reading for all secondary geography teachers, trainee teachers and anyone involved with education and curriculum planning.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/c974cec9/9780335234486.jpg|9780335234486|Teaching Geography 11-18: A Conceptual Approach : Paperback : Open University Press : 9780335234486 : 01 Jan 2010 : This book examines geography's key concepts, and provides teachers with a theoretically robust and practical approach to curriculum pla ...|new|1|1|47|27.99|0|GBP|David Lambert|Open University Press|01 Jan 2010|Teaching of a specific subject books 9780335229161|Anti-Social Behaviour|22.92|https://wordery.com/anti-social-behaviour-andrew-millie-9780335229161|Runner up in the British Society of Criminology Book Prize 2010 What is anti-social behaviour?Can it be dealt with effectively?Is the problem exaggerated?

While insights are offered into eating behaviour that has gone wrong, such as anorexia nervosa and bulimia, the primary focus is on 'normal' eating behaviour. Eating Behaviour highlights the way that the brain and body control eating, the environmental factors that infiltrate the consciousness to make us think it is time to eat, and childhood, to unravel how eating behaviour develops within the individual. The text covers the subject of eating and food related behaviour from the five main areas of psychology: developmental, cognitive, social, biological and psychopathological perspectives. Written in a lively, accessible style, it is designed to give readers a basic understanding of the topic and a platform from which to expand their knowledge of this area. This book is essential reading for psychology and health psychology students, those taking eating behaviour modules, and eating behaviour and disorders courses. It is also valuable reading for nutritionists, dietitians, food scientists, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists and medical students.|Books|https://wordery.com/jackets/bb397f5e/9780335235834.jpg|9780335235834|Eating Behaviour : Paperback : Open University Press : 9780335235834 : 01 Jun 2010 : This book is essential reading for psychology and health psychology students, those taking eating behaviour modules, and eating behaviour and disorders courses.
