The voices of real workers punctuate this accessible ethnographic study of the subculture of custodians and janitors at two higher education institutions. The study demonstrates that custodians are a caring community and reveals the daily lives, attitudes, hopes, resilience, and responsibilities of custodians. Those interviewed shed light on life hardships such as teen pregnancy and low pay and explain how they cope with their marginalization and invisibility. The book seeks to critique the trend toward corporatization and corporate managerialism in higher education. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of labor, sociology, and occupations higher education. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com) This unique study uncovers the lives and working conditions of a group of individuals who are usually rendered invisible on college campuses, the custodians who daily clean the offices, residence halls, bathrooms and public spaces. In doing so it also reveals universities’ equally invisible practices that frequently contradict their espoused values of inclusion and equity, and their profession that those on the margins are important members of the campus community.This vivid ethnography is the fruit of the year’s fieldwork that Peter Magolda’s undertook at two universities. His purpose was to shine a light on a subculture that neither decision-makers nor campus community members know very much about, let alone understand the motivations and aspirations of those who perform this work; and to pose fundamental questions about the moral implications of the corporatization of higher education and its impact on its lowest paid and most vulnerable employees.Working alongside and learning about the lives of over thirty janitorial staff, Peter Magolda becomes privy to acts of courage, resilience, and inspiration, as well as witness to their work ethic, and to instances of intolerance, inequity, and injustices. We learn the stories of remarkable people, and about their daily concerns, their fears and contributions.Peter Magolda raises such questions as: Does the academy still believe wisdom is exclusive to particular professions or classes of people? Are universities really inclusive? Is addressing service workers’ concerns part of the mission of higher education? If universities profess to value education, why make it difficult for those on the margins, such as custodians, to “get educated.” Autorid: Peter M. Magolda

The importance of early childhood mathematics:There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that children from birth to age 8, are capable of more advanced mathematical thinking in the areas of number, geometry, measurement, algebraic thinking, and data analysis than what was thought in years prior (Hachey, 2013).In early childhood education it has been demonstrated that a correlation exists between the level of a child's mathematical ability and their future academic success. The reverse of this relationship has also been observed, where children who are behind the mathematical skills of their peers, continue to fall behind in future studies (Pelkowski, et al. 2019).Furthermore, it is well established in literature that the more maths learning opportunities a child is exposed to, the more growth they will experience in math knowledge (Piasta, et al. 2015).This book is designed to provide a math learning opportunity to foster the curiosity and confidence of children aged 6-8 and set them well on the path to academic success. These 36 math logic puzzles will engage and stimulate your child's problem solving ability through addition and subtraction of healthy foods.

Offers an interdisciplinary perspective on the material forms and cultural iconographies of the hotel. This book surveys current writing on the history of the modern hotel, focusing on three areas of vibrant and timely scholarly enquiry: the uniqueness of the American hotel, the contested status of the colonial and postcolonial hotel, and the hotels embroilment in violent conflict. It explores the hotel as an institution that incubates innovation, enables commercial relations on a variety of scales, and supplies an arena for negotiating relations of political, cultural, and economic power. The volume presents a number of case studies, including the hotel in wartime and as a terrorist target, and critically engages with innovative scholarship that links the relationship of the hotel to wider narratives of Western modernity. It is aimed at tourism studies scholars, as well as history and critical and applied tourism studies students, at undergraduate and graduate levels. Autorid: Kevin J. James

First comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism is both a catalyst to the crisis but also a victim of its impacts. This book provides the first comprehensive exploration of climate justice in tourism, critically examining how tourism contributes to and is impacted by the global climate crisis. It offers a multidimensional justice framework to unpack systemic injustices embedded in tourism and climate governance. With global case studies and interdisciplinary perspectives, the book interrogates dominant growth-centric, colonial and anthropocentric tourism models, and calls for radical transitions toward just, decolonised and regenerative futures. It bridges theory and practice by providing both critical diagnoses and constructive pathways for a climate-just tourism transformation. It is a useful resource for postgraduate students, researchers, academics, policymakers and practitioners working in tourism, climate change, environmental justice and sustainable development. It is also valuable for advanced undergraduate courses that engage with tourism, justice, sustainability and global development.
