A Journey in Mathematics Education Research: Insights from the Work of Paul Cobb
Our objective is to publish a book that lays out the theoretical constructs and research methodologies within mathematics education that have been developed by Paul Cobb and explains the process of their development. We propose to do so by including papers in which Cobb introduced new theoretical perspectives and methodologies into the literature, each preceded by a substantive accompanying introductory paper that explains the motivation/rationale for developing the new perspectives and/or methodologies and the processes through which they were developed, and Cobb’s own retrospective comments.
England and Scotland in the Fourteenth Century - New perspectives
Typical accounts of Anglo-Scottish relations over the whole fourteenth century tends to present a sustained period of bitter enmity, described routinely by stock-phrases such as 'endemic warfare', and typified by battles such as Bannockburn (1314), Neville's cross (1346) or Otterburn (1388), border-raiding and the capture of James I of Scotland by English pirates in 1406. However, as this collection shows, the situation was far more complex.
Perspectives is a writing skills book for intermediate students. Covering both general problem areas and range text types, the material is designed to develop students' ability to write effectively for different purposes . Each unit uses process techniques of drafting and rewriting to build up students' confidence to experiment and become proficient in a variety of writing skills.

Traditionally, emigration was a life-long commitment to settle in a land far away for a chance of, or at least hope for, a better life. These days, there are as many reasons as there are individuals. For some, a few years spent abroad improves the chances of advancing their professional growth. This book is for European nationals who wish to work abroad, either “within” Europe or elsewhere in the world.
