"In this short handbook, an award-winning science communicator and teacher offers a quick guide for scientists and engineers who want to communicate-and better understand-their research by designing compelling graphics for journal submissions, grant applications, presentations, and posters. Distilling her celebrated books and courses to the essentials, Felice C. Frankel shows scientists and engineers the importance of thinking visually. This crucial volume in the Visual Elements series offers a wealth of engaging design examples--including case studies and advice from designers at prestigious outlets from The New York Times to Nature. Ideal for researchers who want a foothold for presenting and preparing their work for conferences and publications, the book explains the steps for creating a concise and communicative graphic to highlight the most important aspects of research. With clear before-and-after examples, Frankel shows how color, composition, layering, and other design details help researchers to communicate more effectively. The resulting book is an essential element of any scientist's, engineer's, or science communicator's library"--
Understanding justice, for many, begins with questions of injustice. This volume pushes us to consider the extent to which our scholarly and everyday practices are, or can become, socially just.

Im Band wird der Vielfalt der inter- und intralinguistischen Forschungsperspek - tiven Rechnung getragen. Es geht sowohl um einzelsprachliche Phänomene im Deutschen, Rumänischen, Englischen, Französischen, Spanischen und in Sisaali als auch um linguistische Auffälligkeiten in interkultureller Perspektive sowie um Aspekte des Fremdsprachenerwerbs. Die im Band präsentierten theoretischen Überlegungen und praxeologischen Verfahren verstehen sich als Anregung, die etablierten Ansätze und Methoden der kontrastiven Linguis - tik zu reflektieren und zu revidieren. This volume offers an insight into the diversity of inter- and intralinguistic research perspectives. The contributions are devoted to intralinguistic phe - nomena in German, Romanian, English, French, Spanish and Sisaali as well as linguistic peculiarities explored from an intercultural perspective and also aspects of foreign language acquisition. The theoretical issues and praxeo - logical perspectives presented in the volume are intended as a proposal to reflect on and possibly revise the long-established approaches and methods of contrastive linguistics.
This volume brings together a series of discussions by scholars from a range of disciplinary, (trans)regional and epistemic perspectives that came out of the Berlin-based "co2libri" networking initiative, with longstanding collaborative partners based in the global South. "Co2libri" stands for "conceptual collaboration: living borderless research interaction". As an interdisciplinary and transregional oriented initiative, co2libri envisages a multicentric perspective that integrates neglected positions of Southern theory and praxis into the heart of academic conversations. Co2libri's collaborative endeavor builds on long-standing active connections with partners in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. Instead of setting an agenda from the North, it proposes to figure out ways forward through collaborative engagement, building on relationships of mutual trust. Using formats that facilitate substantial and open-ended discussion, we are re-thinking theory and method, academic practices, and research ethics, while keeping material inequalities in view. Contributors to this edited volume are working toward the implementation of various innovative activities, research perspectives and collaboration formats which all subscribe to the principle of dialogue on equal footing with scholars and activists based in divergent positionalities along and beyond the Global North-South divide. In different ways, the authors work toward the goal of producing more adequate, and more sensitive, critical knowledge, and applying a fresh view to approach, methods, and ethical standards. Overall, the volume works, sometimes in exploratory ways, with alternative frames of reference while it presents diverse theorizations of lived experiences.
Educational research can address today's global challenges of sustainability, structural inequality and social justice.

En esta investigación se estudia la evolución curricular, pedagógica y didáctica de la formación para la ciudadanía en Costa Rica durante el periodo 1886-2015 desde una perspectiva que reconoce la transnacionalidad de los procesos educativos que en apariencia se muestran como si fuesen procesos simplemente nacionales. El análisis ha sido ectuado tomando en cuenta la politicidad nacional es decir, las distintas coyunturas, actores, tendencias y tensiones político educativas en torno a la articulación curricular y didáctica de la Educación Cívica tanto como asignatura escolar, como campo en disputa y tensión, y también como un campo de desarrollo académico y de política curricular. Se asume también la perspectiva de la internacionalización político educativa para observar distintos momentos, agentes y procesos transnacionales en la articulación de la educación para la ciudadanía en Costa Rica desde 1886 hasta el año 2015.
