Driendl is one of Austria’s most respected architects. His buildings show a quality level that is seldom reached. Not only do they withstand a second glance, but they even require it. Catchwords like "wit" and "innovation" might here give an approximate description of his abilities. His buildings feature on the cover and are in the table of contents of trend setting architecture journals such as GA, AD, Abitare, and others.
APOPwohnen is a very individual book in which Georg Driendl, in cooperation with specialists, covers the entire range of the topic "living". Like in a theatre play, he divides the topics into acts and gives each actor a second name. An extract: orchid: architecture; bay-leaves: money; oak wood: construction authority.
The book offers a monographic overview on Driendl‘s residential buildings and is thus a response to the large international demand. In the same time, the architect arranges an experts’ dialogue filling with life the totality of residential theories.

International Research Handbook on Values Education and Student Wellbeing

EDITORS: / Terence Lovat, The University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia; Ron Toomey, The University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia and Neville Clement, The University of Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia
ISBN-13: / 978-90-481-8674-7
PAGES/ILLUS: / XXX, 870 p., Hardcover
PRICE: / approx. $539.00
AVAILABLE (US): / June 2010
Informed by the most up-to-date research from around the world, as well as examples of good practice, this handbook analyzes values education in the context of a range of school-based measures associated with student wellbeing. These include social, emotional, moral and spiritual growth – elements that seem to be present where intellectual advancement and academic achievement are being maximized. This text comes as ‘values education’ widens in scope from being concerned with morality, ethics, civics and citizenship to a broader definition synonymous with a holistic approach to education in general. This expanded purview is frequently described as pedagogy relating to ‘values’ and ‘wellbeing’.
This contemporary understanding of values education, or values and wellbeing pedagogy, fits well with recent neuroscience research. This has shown that notions of cognition, or intellect, are far more intertwined with social and emotional growth than earlier educational paradigms have allowed for. In other words, the best laid plans about the technical aspects of pedagogy are bound to fail unless the growth of the whole person – social, emotional, moral, spiritual and intellectual, is the pedagogical target. Teachers and educationalists will find that this handbook provides evidence, culled from both research and practice, of the beneficial effects of such a ‘values and wellbeing’ pedagogy.
SELLING POINTS:

Shows that values education is essential to effective schooling
Links the effects of values education to all the important educational measures
Shows that values education is a worldwide, contemporary phenomenon
Shows that values education fits well with updated brain and pedagogical research
Illustrates that values education is a means to holistic student and teacher wellbeing

Human activity has resulted in changes to atmospheric chemistry and land cover, and caused serious decline in biodiversity. Modifying biogeochemical cycles leads to complex feedbacks. The future climate will have impact on food security and agriculture, water supply and quality, storm and cyclone frequency, shoreline stability, biodiversity and the future of biological resources. Earth scientists might be asked to forecast any potential abrupt or environmental surprises. A sound knowledge of the Earth System will improve the chances of achieving this, by developing climate models that will reduce the degree of uncertainty in regional climate prediction.
This volume sets out a framework of research issues that show how the Earth sciences contribute to a better understanding of climate change and suggests where future research will best contribute to the wellbeing of society.
SELLING POINTS:

State-of-the-art analysis of climate change impacts on societal relevant themes
Expert authorities discuss relationship of climate with each theme

Although they cover most of the surface of our planet, the oceans are still largely unexplored. Yet they provide some of the only detailed records of conditions on our planet back into the deep past and are arguably going to play a fundamental role, by responding to the atmospheric engineering experiment the human race is presently carrying out, in our future. The volume describes what is known about the Earth´s oceans, from the internal structure of the plates which make up their floors to their role in climate control. It examines their potential for providing living and non-living resources and the threats posed to them by mankind´s activities.
