Being Alongside: For the Teaching and Learning of MathematicsBeing Alongside: For the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics

How do you establish a way of working with teachers, using video, in which discussion supports professional development? The present book offers answers to these questions through an in depth (enactivist) study of one exceptional teacher in one innovative mathematics department in the UK.

Stumbling on HappinessStumbling on Happiness

Why are lovers quicker to forgive their partners for infidelity than for leaving dirty dishes in the sink? Why will sighted people pay more to avoid going blind than blind people will pay to regain their sight?

Why do home sellers demand prices they wouldn’t dream of paying if they were home buyers?
