"The present collection focuses on the Kyoto School in three unique ways. First, it concentrates on the School’s distinctive account of human becoming. Second, it examines the way that, in the work of its principal exponents, diverse traditions of thought in philosophy and education are encountered and fused. Third, and with a broader canvas, it considers why the rich implications of the Kyoto School for for philosophy and education have not been more widely appreciated, and it seeks to remedy this.The first part of the book introduces the historical and philosophical background of the Kyoto School, illustrating its importance especially for aesthetic education, while the second part looks beyond this to explore the convergence of relevant streams of philosophy, East and West, ranging from the Noh play and Buddhist practices to American transcendentalism and post-structuralism."

"Beginning by defining key terms such as ‘self-transformation’, Kwak sketches the contemporary debates between Jürgen Habermas and Charles Taylor on the status of religious language in the public domain, and its relationship to secular language. This allows her to contextualize her book’s central questions: how can philosophical practice reduce the experiential rift between knowledge and wisdom? How can the essay form be developed so that it facilitates, as praxis, pedagogical self-transformation? Kwak develops her answers by working through ideas of George Lukács and Stanley Cavell, of Hans Blumenberg and Søren Kierkegaard. Kwak’s work provides templates for new forms of educational writing, new approaches to teaching educators, and new ways of writing methodology for educational researchers. "

""Few books address the sensitive issue of Islamic education with empathy as well as critical distance as Joseph C. Liow's Islam, Education, and Reform in Southern Thailand. He examines global networks of religious learning within a local Thai as well as regional Asian context by brilliantly revealing the intersections between religion, politics and modernity in an accessible and illuminating manner. Traditional educational institutions rarely receive such sensitive and balanced treatment. Liow's book is a tour de force and mandatory reading for policy-makers, academics and all of those interested in current affairs." - Ebrahim Moosa, Associate Professor of Islamic Studies, Department of Religion, Associate Director, Duke Islamic Studies Center (DISC), Duke University, USA"

"This book examines the concepts of the Anthropocene and globalisation in our society and the changes that these are bringing about in education and human learning.The book argues that there needs to be reflexive approach to issues that affect the fate of the planet and the future of humans, brought about by an education that looks to the future. Wulf argues that a change in education and socialization can only succeed based on an understanding of previous educational ideas, and considers the significance of Confucianism and spiritual education that emerged in the East. The book traces key educational ideas throughout history to show how education and human knowledge are closely linked, highlighting the need for us to pay careful attention to repetition, mimesis and the imagination in learning. It shows how a future-oriented education must engage with issues of peace and violence, global citizenship and sustainable development.This timely and compelling book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of philosophy of education, the history and anthropology of education, sustainability education and global citizenship education"

"This book is the latest of Dave Ulrichʹs treatises on gaining sustainable competitive advantage through the transformation of human resource management. Over the years, Ulrichʹs books on HR transformation would fill an average bookshelf -- 15 in all. As a result of the many books on the subject, the latest book, HR Transformation, could easily be regarded as one of the many -- a repetition of the story of how an organization can be improved through professional HR. Yet, this is not the case; this latest book is clearly built on two of the best previous books, Human Resource Champions (1997) and The HR Value Proposition (2005), and now deserves to be on the top of the stack. By most any standard it is a "must read." Most of Ulrichʹs books have been written with co-authors and published by Harvard Business School Press. This latest, published by McGraw Hill, is with Wayne Brockbank, also co-author of The HR Value Proposition, along with first-time book co-authors, Justin Allen, Jon Younger, and Mark Nyman. Dave Ulrich is a professor at the University of Michiganʹs Ross School of Business. All of the authors have a great deal of experience as teachers of managers and professionals, along with expertise as human resource consultants for organizations. The goal of the present book is to share these experiences with a broad professional audience. -- Description from http://business.troy.edu/jhre/Articles/PDF/3-3/32.pdf (Oct. 25, 2011)."
