Embedded within military intelligence and communications, wartime cryptography was a man's world filled with engineers, mathematicians, statisticians, military tacticians, political scientists, and linguists. But women did much more during World War II than resupply coffee and shuffle papers. Even beyond nursing and manufacturing, women working top-secret desk jobs played an integral role in supporting the Allied effort. They helped shorten the length of the war, saving countless lives in the process. Bringing to light the quiet heroism of female code breakers of WWII is an opportunity to showcase the exceptional women who saved lives and changed the tide of the greatest war in human history. The life of a female codebreaker was not a simple one. Even as they applied themselves to complicated counterintelligence work and labored daily alongside their male colleagues, they fought an uphill battle on many different fronts inside and outside the office. Despite the constant need to "prove" themselves and justify their life choices to men and women alike, these brilliant women never thought of themselves as heroes, but rather as citizens performing their duty, in common with the pragmatic attitudes that many people held during the war. As such, their stories and accomplishments have remained firmly under the radar-often missing from official documentation, history books, public lore, and therefore general public awareness.The British feat of breaking the German Enigma code at Bletchley Park has been celebrated in popular culture in various books and movies, but the stories of many women who worked to break codes in the complex world of cryptography remain relatively untold.Many of the men who served in the war have been made heroes through the documentation of and telling and retelling of their daring exploits. Not so the unsung women heroes of WWII.Inside Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII you'll learn the true stories of female code breakers whose top-secret work helped win World War II, including: ¿ the stories of Elizebeth Friedman, Joan Clarke, Coral Hinds, and many other great minds working for the Allied forces from the United States, Great Britain, and Australia-all of whom were trailblazers in the field of cryptography¿ a simple rundown on cryptography as a science, the history of its use, and what it took to break wartime codes ¿ the legacies of these exceptional women, and the impacts their work had both on the war effort and in the years after ¿ the social constraints and sexist attitudes that women faced, even as they worked on highly classified projectsBy knowing the names and faces of the heroic women codebreakers of WWII, we are finally allowing their lives and accomplishments to shine. If you are looking for a unique perspective of wartime history then Women Code Breakers: The Best Kept Secret of WWII is a great place to start!

During the late years of the eighteenth century, the spirit of enlightenment thinking and revolution were in the air. The world was changing, moving away from ingrained beliefs about religion, reason, society, and the rights of the individual and turning more towards the laws of nature as interpreted by the scientific method. Nowhere was the influence of this radical new way of thinking more apparent than in france, and the upheaval this caused would come to bloody fruition in the form of revolution.Review the causes and the lasting effects brought about during this tumultuous time period when the common people of france struggled to remake their world upon the cornerstone of liberty. In this book, you will discover the following:France's origins and its prehistoryFrance's relations with the roman empireHow the french survived the middle agesThe french revolution and the impact it had on societyThe napoleonic wars and the changes napoleon made in france and its coloniesFrench colonialism and a look at some of the major french coloniesFrance during the world warsThe french have rightly prided themselves on their food, fashion, painting, sculpture, theater, films, and literature, among much else. The names escoffier, saint-laurent, monet, rodin, moliere, truffaut, and voltaire are known throughout the world. The famous eiffel tower is recognized as the symbol of france to people in the most remote places of the globe, but there is so much more to the history of france than escargot, wine, impressionism, and movies.

In the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, thousands of pupils attended boarding schools in various places across the globe. Their experiences were vastly different, yet they all had in common that they were separated from their families and childhood friends for a period of time in order to sleep, eat, learn and move within the limited spatial sites of the boarding school. This book frames these ¿boarding schools¿ as a global and transcultural phenomenon that is part of larger political and social developments of European imperialism, the Cold War, and independence movements. Drawing together case studies from colonial South Africa, colonial India, Dutch Indonesia, early twentieth-century Nigeria, Fascist Spain, Ghana, Nazi Germany, nineteenth-century Ireland, North America and the Soviet Union, this edited collection examines the ways in which boarding schools extracted pupils from their original social background in order to train, mold and shape them so that they could fit intothe perceived position in broader society. The book makes the broader argument that framing boarding schools as a global phenomenon is imperative for a deepened understanding of the global and transnational networks that linked people as well as ideas and practices of education and childhood in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Die "Schule von Jasnaja Poljana" auf dem Landgut Leo N. Tolstois kann in keiner Darstellung zur Geschichte der Reformpädagogik übergangen werden. Die vorliegende Neuedition enthält u.a. alle Grundtexte zu dem berühmten Schulmodell 1859-1862. Vereinigt sind in einem Band beide Teile der erstmals 1907 erschienenen deutschen Gesamtausgabe von "Pädagogischen Schriften" des russischen Dichters (Redaktion: Raphael Löwenfeld, Übersetzungen: Otto Buek).Tolstoi, seit Jugendtagen ein Verehrer von Jean-Jacques Rousseau, lehnte Erziehung als Zwang und Indoktrination ab: "Die einzige Grundlage der Erziehung ist die Erfahrung und ihr einziges Kriterium ist die Freiheit." Misstrauen entmutigt uns Menschen und führt zur Starre. Kinder lernen rein gar nichts, wenn sie in regelrechten Verhören examiniert und mit Strafandrohungen eingeschüchtert werden. Begegnung - statt Reglementierung - und Methodenvielfalt - statt Dogmatismus - sollten in Jasnaja Poljana walten. "Nur die Freiheit seitens der Schüler, zu wählen, was und wie man lernen soll", kann "eine Grundlage für den Unterricht abgeben". "Der Lehrer strebt stets unwillkürlich danach, die Methode des Unterrichts zu wählen, die ihm am bequemsten" erscheint. Indessen ist "nur diejenige Unterrichtsart die richtige, mit der die Schüler zufrieden sind."Der Staatsmacht waren das Wunder eines freien Lehrens und Lernens in Jasnaja Poljana sowie die beteiligten Studenten suspekt. Sie ließ 1862 die Räume des Grafen polizeilich durchsuchen und verschaffte sich sogar Zugang zu den persönlichsten Aufzeichnungen. Der Unterricht musste eingestellt werden. Doch Tolstoi versuchte nur ein Jahrzehnt später einen Neuanfang, erarbeitete ein bahnbrechendes "ABC-Buch" und galt gegen Ende seines Lebens als Pionier einer Pädagogik, die der Herrschaft von Menschen über Menschen nicht dienlich ist.Tolstoi-FriedensbibliothekReihe B, Band 16 (Signatur TFb_B016)Herausgegeben von Peter Bürger,Editionsmitarbeit: Ingrid von Heiseler

Der findes en enorm mængde teknisk information om forskningsmetoder, og man kan nemt miste overblikket over, hvorfor vi udfører uddannelsesforskning, og hvor og hvordan forskning kan bidrage til forbedringen af uddannelse. Uddannelsesforskning – en uortodoks introduktion fører dig gennem de bredere sociale og politiske sammenhænge inden for uddannelsesforskning og fokuserer på de grundlæggende spørgsmål, såsom hvad uddannelse egentlig “er”, og hvad det er til for. Ved at gøre det, stiller bogen spørgsmål, som mere “ortodokse” introduktioner til teori og praksis inden for uddannelsesforskning ofte lader ligge.Gert Biesta gennemgår en række centrale problemstillinger, der præger ethvert projekt inden for uddannelsesforskning, heriblandt teoriens rolle i forskning, hvad det betyder og kræver at forbedre uddannelse, karakteren af uddannelsespraksis, historien om uddannelsesforskning og videnskab, forbindelsen mellem forskning, professionalitet og demokrati, samt de sociale og politiske dimensioner af akademisk publicering. Hvert kapitel indeholder en række spørgsmål for at opfordre til yderligere diskussion.

How did the public education system which now educates 93% of children in the UK begin? How did it evolve so that admission to 25% of state primary and 6% of state secondary schools is still controlled by the Church of England? 'so excellent a Work' explores the first 135 years of this important and fascinating national story. It began with a movement at the beginning of the 18th century which encouraged every parish in England and Wales to set up a charity school for the poor, a project which Queen Anne described as 'so excellent a Work'. Inspired by this initiative, in 1710 six enterprising and philanthropic men established a school to serve their own ancient community, the Royal Liberty of Havering. Against the odds, their foundation has continued to this day. Set against the changing historical panorama, this is the story of that charity school, the community it served, and the local people whose commitment ensured its survival. It is the story of the national politicians and personalities who fought for - or opposed - the establishment of a national system of public education for 'the lower orders'. Their motives, their attitudes and their rivalries may surprise you!

From Battlefields to Thrones: The Empowered Women of Celtic Lore and History is a groundbreaking exploration of the often overlooked and underestimated role of women in Celtic societies. This book delves into the evidence that suggests Celtic women actively participated in warfare and held positions of power.

The book also delves into Celtic mythology, highlighting the presence of powerful female figures such as the Morrígan and other warrior goddesses. It examines their significance in Celtic culture and their association with war and battle. Furthermore, it explores the broader roles of women in Celtic society beyond warfare, including their contributions to politics, leadership, and the economy.
