Representations of the World in Language Textbooks
This book presents a new and comprehensive framework for the analysis of representations of culture, society and the world in textbooks for foreign and second language learning.The framework is transferable to other kinds of learning materials and to other subjects.The framework distinguishes between five approaches: national studies, citizenship education studies, cultural studies, postcolonial studies and transnational studies.In a series of concrete analyses, the book illustrates how one can describe and uncover representations of the world in textbooks for English, German, French, Spanish, Danish and Esperanto.Each analysis is accompanied by suggestions of possible supplements and changes.The book points to the need for language learning materials to deal seriously with knowledge about the world, including its diversities and problems.

The Wolf : Culture, Nature, Heritage
New insights into the changing human attitudes towards wild nature through the depiction of wolves in human culture and heritage. Few animals arouse such strong opinion as the wolf.It occupies a contested, ambiguous, yet central role in human culture and heritage.It appears as both an inspirational emblem of the wild and an embodiment of evil.Offering a mirror to different human attitudes, beliefs, and values, the wolf is, arguably, the species that plays the greatest role in shaping our views on what nature is or should be. North America and, more recently, Europe have witnessed a remarkable return of the grey wolf (Canis lupus, and its close relative the Eurasian wolf, Canis lupus lupus) to eco-systems.The essays collected here explore aspects of this recovery, and consider the history, literature and myth surrounding this iconic species.There are chapters on wolf taxonomy, including the coywolf, the red wolf, and the many faces of the dingo.We also meet the Tasmanian wolf and encounter Nazi Werewolves from Outer Space.The book explores the challenges of separating fact from fiction and superstition, and our willingness to co-exist with large carnivores in the twenty-first century.Biologists, historians, anthropologists, cultural theorists, conservationists and museologists will all find riches in the detail presented in this wolf collection.

Educating China : Knowledge, Society and Textbooks in a Modernizing World, 1902–1937
In this major study, Peter Zarrow examines how textbooks published for the Chinese school system played a major role in shaping new social, cultural, and political trends, the ways in which schools conveyed traditional and 'new style' knowledge and how they sought to socialize students in a rapidly changing society in the first decades of the twentieth century.Focusing on language, morality and civics, history, and geography, Zarrow shows that textbooks were quick to reflect the changing views of Chinese elites during this period.Officials and educators wanted children to understand the physical and human worlds, including the evolution of society, the institutions of the economy, and the foundations of the nation-state.Through textbooks, Chinese elites sought ways to link these abstractions to the concrete lives of children, conveying a variety of interpretations of enlightenment, citizenship, and nationalism that would shape a generation as modern citizens of a new China.

Textbooks on Israel-Palestine : The Politics of Education and Knowledge in the West
How is the Israel/Palestine question narrated in Western academia?What ideas dominate the key textbooks on the subject and what is presented as 'truth'?This book answers these critical questions. It is widely known that Western support of Israel played a vital role in the realization of Zionist objectives in Palestine.But academic support of Israel in the West has been a neglected issue, with Western academic knowledge being regarded as impartial and objective.This book reveals that this understanding of Western academic knowledge is wrong when it comes to the Israel/Palestine question.Rather, knowledge has been biased, misleading, and dogmatic and Western college students are subscribing to ‘factual histories’ based on theories at best, if not fiction.The book is the first empirical investigation able to document this partial reporting of history.Seyed Hadi Borhani examines the most popular college-level textbooks used to teach the history of the Israel/Palestine in Western universities, combining ‘textbook analysis’ (to determine how the dominant academic texts report the question) and a ‘context analysis’ (to identify who 'manufactures' the dominant knowledge).The book provides a historical map of how the Israel-Palestine conflict is understood in the West.The book can be used as a critique for students and professors to use alongside textbooks and is a vital and much-needed intervention into the state of affairs in Western academia.

Understanding Multimodal Discourses in English Language Teaching Textbooks : Implications for Students and Practitioners
Textbooks are indispensable components and in some case the cornerstones of the mission of English Language Teaching (ELT).However, they are artefacts of a pedagogical culture that rarely echo the concerns of their most prolific consumers: teachers and students.This book offers a useful framework for evaluating ELT textbooks from a critical discourse perspective; one that is based on sound current research but also offers practical guidance to teachers.Building from a foundational understanding of ELT textbooks, the author presents a systematic procedure to critically analyze their multimodal discourse, examine how those discourses are negotiated between teachers and students in class, and measure how those consumers privately value the lessons.The book provides teachers with the tools they need to select and adapt materials based on critical multimodal discourse analysis, where not only the text but the pictures, websites, audio, visual elements too are subjected to a process which can reveal underlying ideologies, assumptions, omissions and reifications.The triangulated approach, demonstrated in a series of vignettes featuring Korean university students and native-English-speaking instructors, can inform textbook choice, instigate change, and inspire lesson re-contextualization to best suit the needs of its primary consumers.
