Summary

Textbook Selection Trends explores the complex world of law school textbook adoption, a critical aspect of legal education impacting both students and faculty. The book delves into how law professors choose course materials, the history and importance of casebooks, and the economic factors driving textbook pricing. One key insight is the significant influence of publisher strategies on textbook costs, often driven by market forces such as copyright law rather than purely pedagogical considerations. Another intriguing aspect is the evolution of casebooks from late 19th century origins to their contemporary form, shaping legal reasoning skills. This book uniquely examines the legal textbook market, drawing on interviews, data analysis, and legal scholarship. It investigates the criteria driving faculty textbook adoption, including case selection and publisher influence, and scrutinizes the economics of legal textbook publishing, including pricing strategies. Exploring topics like textbook affordability and open educational resources, the book progresses from describing textbook selection criteria through an examination of the publishing industry to an analysis of controversies and potential solutions.

    The volume covers a range of topics related to American education from a Hispanic point of view. Legislative intervention in the teaching of social studies in Florida, critical race theory in education, strengths and weaknesses of the decentralized American education system, and the higher education of Hispanics in the United States, are some of the topics explored. The volume concludes with a critical interpretation of the shortage of teachers in the State of Florida at a time of great socioeconomic and political polarization in the United States of America, as a representative case of the central debates in education of the second decade of the twenty-first century.

    More Than Just a Dog:...

    'A must-read for anyone who loves dogs.' – Rory Cellan-Jones 
    This book explores what every dog owner knows – that a dog is never just a dog.  
    They are our companions, best friends, members of the family and for some the most important part of our lives. 
    Our ability to make meaningful connections with other animal species and their ability to return the favour is, perhaps, never more beautiful than the bond we have with dogs. 
    Simon Wooler, trainer to Sophie from Romania, social media’s most famous fearful canine, unlocks the heart of the special relationship we have with dogs. 
    He explores how, over millennia, they have inveigled their way into our homes and hearts and evolved to live alongside us. Demystifying the science behind dog behaviour, he explains how they learn (and why they sometimes seem immune to our efforts to train them), how they communicate and what influences the powerful bond they form with their people. 
    Perfect for dog lovers – the essential guide to loving your canine companion.  
    ‘This book is a wonderful read. Full of insights, essential as well as practical advice on dogs.’ Niall Harbison 
    Drawing on ethology, zoology and the sciences, Wooler delivers a practical, personal non-fiction guide and reference that makes animal behaviour feel understandable for everyday life with pets. With a keen eye for nature and a gift for showing the small moments that matter, he reveals how thoughtful training can transform the way animals and people communicate. 
    For fans of Patricia B. Mcconnell (The Cautious Canine-How to Help Dogs Conquer Their Fears), Kevin Behan (Your Dog Is Your Mirror), Kim Brophey (Meet Your Dog), Markus Zusak (Three Wild Dogs), and Dr Sabrina Cohen-Hatton (The Heat of the Moment).

    You will laugh and cry when you read how Patti Smith lovingly and honestly reveals transformative lessons gleaned from forty-plus years of caring for (and being tutored by) her son, Christopher. His diagnosis as a baby with Down Syndrome at first tilted her world off-axis, only to reveal itself to be the thing that actually set her worldview at the exact right angle. 
    In an inspirational and heartwarming manner, Patti explains how her life was changed for the better in profound ways. 
    With her son as her master teacher, Patti learned to see life through his perspective and discover the joy in situations requiring her to dig deeply into her own psyche to identify beliefs needing adjustment. She shares the way she changes with vulnerability and light-heartedness, while giving credit to her clever son who is respectfully referred to as her own Professor Higgins. 
    This book is not just a book about how to raise a child with Down Syndrome, but an inspiring and humorous reflection of parenting and relationships in general. 
    Awarded the Olive Woolley Burt Award for Creative Writing in the New Voices category.
