This book is a timely introduction to the emerging field of mobile learning, explaining the technologies involved, their applications and the multiple effects on pedagogical and social practice. Mobile devices include handheld computers, smartphones and PDAs, and this book will emphasise the issues of usability, accessibility, evaluation and effectiveness, drawing from case studies written by researchers and practitioners.
This is a cutting-edge subject in open and flexible learning, yet in spite of being the subject of a number of e-learning conferences, very little has been published on it (see competition analysis). This book will be the first to hit the market and will be picked up primarily by HE and FE readerships, but also by trainers wanting to find out about the opportunities offered by these new technologies.

In 1935, with a doctorate in art history and no prospect of a job, the 26-year-old Ernst Gombrich was invited by a publishing acquaintance to attempt a history of the world for younger readers. Amazingly, he completed the task in an intense six weeks, and Eine kurze Weltgeschichte fьr junge Leser was published in Vienna to immediate success, and is now available in seventeen languages across the world. Toward the end of his long life, Gombrich embarked upon a revision and, at last, an English translation. A Little History of the World presents his lively and involving history to English-language readers for the first time. Superbly designed and freshly illustrated, this is a book to be savored and collected. In forty concise chapters, Gombrich tells the story of man from the stone age to the atomic bomb. In between emerges a colorful picture of wars and conquests, grand works of art, and the spread and limitations of science. This is a text dominated not by dates and facts, but by the sweep of mankind’s experience across the centuries, a guide to humanity’s achievements and an acute witness to its frailties. The product of a generous and humane sensibility, this timeless account makes intelligible the full span of human history.
Contained within this illustrated anthology are thoughts and insights from all the key thinkers of Ancient Greek civilization, from Homer to Herodotus, and Sophocles to Socrates. Spanning the entire range of poetry, prose, philosophy and drama, the themed categories in this little book offer insight into areas as diverse as politics and personal fulfilment.
