Integrating the Visual Arts Across the Curriculum

An Elementary and Middle School Guide

By: Julia Marshall

With lots of examples and color images, this resource is both a foundational text and a practical guidebook for bringing contemporary art into elementary and middle school classrooms as a way to make learning joyful and meaningful for all learners. Marshall shows how asking questions and posing problems spark curiosity and encourage learners to think deeply and make meaningful connections across the curriculum. At the center of this approach is creativity, with contemporary visual art as its inspiration. The text covers methods of creative inquiry-based learning, art and how it connects to the “big ideas” addressed by academic domains, flexible structures teachers can use for curriculum development, creative teaching strategies using contemporary art, and models of art-based inquiry curriculum. Book Features: Provides research-based project ideas and curriculum models for arts integration. Shows how Project Zero’s flexible structures and frameworks can be used to develop creative inquiry and an arts integration curriculum. Explains how contemporary visual art connects to the four major disciplines—science, mathematics, social studies, and language arts. Includes full-color images of contemporary art that are appropriate for elementary and middle school learners. Demonstrates how arts integration can and should be substantive, multidimensional, and creative.

Water Architecture in South Asia

A Study of Types, Developments and Meanings

By: Julia Hegewald

Water architecture in South Asia represents some of the most beautiful and spectacular building achievements of the region. This study provides a holistic approach to the subject, suggesting common links and regional contrasts between types of water structures and their contexts, with a comprehensive interpretation of the history and meaning of water architecture in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. Five types of water structures are identified. Their development is traced from simple to more complex forms, considering how these accommodate secular and religious functions, and present expressions of sacred and royal authority. This publication is the first reference work on the subject. Many of the structures discussed and illustrated here have never been published before. Its comprehensive approach will have a wide relevance for other South Asian disciplines.

Intermetallics

Structures, Properties, and Statistics

By: Walter Steurer,Julia Dshemuchadse

The fascinating world of intermetallics is largely unexplored. There are many exciting physical properties and important technological applications of intermetallics, from magnetism to superconductivity. The main focus of this book is on the statistics, topology and geometry of crystal structures and structure types of intermetallic phases. The underlying physics, in particular chemical bonding, is discussed whenever it helps understand the stability of structures and the origin of their physical properties. The authors' approach, based on the statistical analysis of more than twenty thousand intermetallic compounds in the data base Pearson's Crystal Data, uncovers important structural relationships and illustrates the relative simplicity of most of the general structural building principles. It also shows that a large variety of actual structures can be related to a rather small number of aristotypes. The text aims to be readable and beneficial in one way or another to everyone interested in intermetallic phases, from graduate students to experts in solid state chemistry and physics, and materials science. For that purpose it avoids the use of enigmatic abstract terminology for the classification of structures. Instead, it focuses on the statistical analysis of crystal structures and structure types in order to draw together a larger overview of intermetallics, and indicate the gaps in it - areas still to be explored, and potential sources of worthwhile research. The text should be read as a reference guide to the incredibly rich world of intermetallic phases.

Echoes of a broken Heart. Life is a Story - story.one

By: Julia Leuker

Did anyone ever suddenly turn away from you for no apparent reason? And they wanted nothing to do with you anymore, out of the blue? Well, I've been there. And I might know exactly how you feel. My former best friends, Mia and Hannah, were constants in my life for seven years. I thought our friendship would last forever. But here I am, two years later, with countless unanswered questions, thoughts, and memories of that time filling my head. Back then, I wished someone who experienced similar things would have talked about their worries, fears, and thoughts during such a friendship breakup. So here I am, sharing my own story with you.

All the things I never told you. Life is a Story - story.one

By: Julia Leuker

Do you know how pathetic and stupid it feels when people just turn away from you for no apparent reason? When they want nothing more to do with you from one day to the next? Believe me, I know how you feel and I've been there. That's exactly how I felt. Because of two people I once called my friends. Mia and Hannah were the constants in my little world for seven long years. I thought it would stay that way forever. But here I am, two years later. With many unanswered questions and memories of that time. Being a teenager is already challenging enough, but having struggles with friends makes it all even more complicated. Back then, I wished someone with similar experiences would have talked about their worries. So here I am sharing mine with you. Trust me, you are not alone. And it will become better.

Retail Brand Equity and Loyalty

Analysis in the Context of Sector-Specific Antecedents, Perceived Value, and Multichannel Retailing

By: Julia Katharina Weindel

Julia Weindel provides novel implications for researchers and managers by first identifying the sector-specific main levers of retail brand equity. Second, she shows that retail brand equity and perceived value have a reciprocal relationship. The author analyzes which one of these has stronger effects on loyalty. Third, she addresses the interdependencies between brand beliefs, retail brand equity, and loyalty within multichannel retail structures. The study is forced through the knowledge that management of retail brands is highly valuable for scholars and managers, because retail brand equity is known to strongly influence consumer behavior in various contexts. The retail brand represents a valuable asset for retailers which need to know the levers of retail brand equity.

Buddhist Landscapes in Central India

Buddhist Landscapes in Central India

Sanchi Hill and Archaeologies of Religious and Social Change, c. Third Century BC to Fifth Century AD

By: Julia Shaw

The “monumental bias” of Buddhist archaeology has hampered our understanding of the socio-religious mechanisms that enabled early Buddhist monks to establish themselves in new areas. To articulate these relationships, Shaw presents here the first integrated study of settlement archaeology and Buddhist history, carried out in the area around Sanchi, a Central Indian UNESCO World Heritage site. Her comprehensive, data-rich, and heavily illustrated work provides an archaeological basis for assessing theories regarding the dialectical relationship between Buddhism and surrounding lay populations. It also sheds light on the role of the introduction of Buddhism in changing settlement patterns.This volume was originally published in 2007 by the British Association of South Asian Studies.
