Throughout, Weatherford threads his expert knowledge of the cultural anthropology of tribal peoples into a broad historiographical context, and argues for the modernity, pluralism, and long-term contributions of Mongolian rule to the political, cultural and military development of Early Modern Europe, Islam, and China.Item [Book Review] Geography in Secondary Schools: Researching Pupils' Classroom Experiences(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2012) Milson, Andrew J.No abstract prepared.Item [Book Review] Geography, Education and the Future(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2011) Keller, Kenneth H.No abstract prepared.Item [Book Review] GIS in the Classroom: Using Geographic Information Systems in Social Studies and Environmental Science(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2001) Doering, Aaron H.No abstract prepared.Item [Book Review] Global Perspectives in the Geography Curriculum: Reviewing the Moral Case for Geography(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2009) Yow, Sonja HeerNo abstract prepared.Item [Book Review] Goods, Power, History: Latin America's Material Culture(2003-10) Pisani, Michael J.On one level Goods, Power, History: Latin America’s Material Culture is about the history of consumption of products in the Americas from pre-Columbian to modern times. The author, Arnold J. Bauer, professor of history at the University of California, Davis, states as much: “The present book emphasizes the core items of material life—food, clothing, shelter, and the organization of public space— in both their rudimentary and elaborate manifestations” (pp. xv-xvi). On a much more sophisticated and integrative level, this book is a tour de force or compendium of Dr. Bauer’s distinguished body of work concerning the asymmetrical relationship between people, things and power in Latin America.Item [Book Review] International Perspectives on Natural Disasters: Occurrence, Mitigation, and Consequences.(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2005) Lee, John Chi-kinNo abstract prepared.Item [Book Review] Learning Through Enquiry: Making Sense of Geography in the Key Stage 3 Classroom(The Grosvenor Center for Geographic Education, 2002) Walker, Scott L.Inquiry, in terms of education, has multiple meanings. Inquiry in one sense is a natural learning process of discovering how the world works. Inquiry in another sense is an educational strategy of discovery guided by a teacher. From a cognitive learning perspective, inquiry is an element of interpretivist epistemological learning theories which assert that a student tacitly constructs his or her own reality. To varying degrees, well known instructional theorists Jerome Bruner, Jean Piaget, and Lev Vygotsky have incorporated the natural process of inquiry learning into their educational theories. More recently, geography educators apply the use of “geographic inquiry” processes to a variety of classroom settings (e.g. Halvorson & Wescoat, 2002; Hurley, Proctor, & Ford, 1999; Klein, 1995; Malone, Palmer, & Voigt, 2002). Learning through Enquiry takes the theoretical concept of inquiry and places it squarely in the hands of middle-grade geographic educators, who can now use strategies of inquiry as an interdisciplinary tool adaptable to a variety of learning situations.Item [Book Review] Minor Omissions: Children in Latin American History and Society(2003-10) Bradford, AnitaMinor Omissions: Children in Latin American History and Society is an initial, though somewhat piecemeal, attempt to address five centuries of silence about the region’s children.
