Gwynne's Grammar: The Ultimate Introduction to Grammar and the Writing of Good English
by N. M. GwynneAnxious about apostrophes? In a pickle over your pronouns and prepositions? Fear not--Mr. Gwynne is here with his wonderfully concise and highly enjoyable book of grammar. Within these pages, adults and children alike will find all they need to rediscover this lost science and sharpen up their skills. Mr. Gwynne believes that happiness depends at least partly on good grammar--and Mr. Gwynne is never wrong.From the Hardcover edition.dictated to be the right and the wrong. His teaching method is also defiantly old school: no one can follow a rule he hasn't committed to memory. But not all rules are equal. For a country whose only broadly subscribed guide to writing is Strunk and White, Mr. Gwynne performs a radical procedure. He presents its original seed: Strunk's 1918 essay, which E. B. White expanded. But neither form was ever meant as a guide to grammar, and so Mr. Gwynne presents only the kernel of Strunk's useful advice as a companion: a guide to putting words together nicely set within Gwynne's wisdom about putting them together correctly. The result is the last word on the subject anyone should need.

Gymtherapy: Developing emotional wellbeing and resilience in children through the medium of movement
by Rebekah PierreThis highly practical resource introduces the concept of ‘Gymtherapy’; a pioneering approach to working with children that uses movement as a means of promoting emotional wellbeing. Gymtherapy brings together the physical and emotional benefits of activity alongside the importance of safeguarding and supporting children, particularly those who are socio-economically deprived or emotionally vulnerable. Written in an accessible and vibrant style, Gymtherapy provides a full programme of lesson plans, structured across five key areas: Identity and Self Esteem, Mindfulness, Anger Expression, Protective Behaviour and Gender Stereotypes. Each lesson plan is based on accessible, tried and tested strategies, and outlines learning objectives, equipment needed and step-by-step instructions for facilitating practical activities. The chapters are illustrated with engaging real-life examples, case studies, survivor stories and tips, while at the same time linking practice to the underpinning social theory. Gymtherapy is an invaluable guide for teachers, social workers, school leaders and anyone with an interest in providing for the welfare and wellbeing of the children they work with.
Gypsy and Traveller Girls: Silence, Agency and Power (Studies in Childhood and Youth)
by Geetha MarcusThis book presents the untold stories of Gypsy and Traveller girls living in Scotland. Drawing on accounts of the girls’ lives and offering space for their voices to be heard, the author addresses contemporary and traditional stereotypes and racialised misconceptions of Gypsies and Travellers. Marcus explores how the stubborn persistence of these negative views appears to contribute to policies and practices of neglect, inertia or intervention that often aim to ‘civilise’ and further assimilate these communities into the mainstream settled population. It is against this backdrop that the book exposes the girls’ racialised and gendered experiences, which impact on their struggles as young people to realise their potential and future prospects. Their narratives reveal the strengths of a distinct community, and the complexity of their silence and agency within the patriarchal structures that pervade the private spaces of home and the public spaces of education. This study also invites the reader to reflect on how the experiences of Gypsy and Traveller girls compares with young women from other social backgrounds, and questions if there is more that binds us than divides us as women in the modern world. Gypsy and Traveller Girls will be of interest to students and scholars across a range of disciplines, including sociology, education, gender studies and social policy.
Gütekriterien qualitativer Sekundäranalysen: Eine Transferability-Strategie zum Nachweis schulischer Reorganisationsmuster
by Anne GisskeDie Wiederverwendung komplexen Datenmaterials rückt auch im qualitativen Paradigma in den Fokus. Qualitative Sekundäranalysen wie die DaproRe-Studie sind aufgrund des festgelegten Samplings vom Kontextwissen aus den Primärstudien abhängig, das den Geltungsbereich der sekundäranalytischen Ergebnisse abbildet. Wie die Validität einer daraus resultierenden Theorie untersucht bzw. nachvollziehbar gemacht werden kann, stellt eine methodologische Frage von Gütekriterien dar. Die geringe Verbreitung dieses Forschungsdesigns spiegelt sich auch in der fehlenden Berücksichtigung in den Vorschlägen für qualitative Gütekriterien wider. Einen Ansatzpunkt bietet das Konzept der transferability von Lincoln & Guba (1985), die argumentieren, dass Ergebnisse auf möglichst kongruente Kontexte übertragbar sind. Unter Einbezug kongruenter sowie konträrer Kontexte wurde dieses Konzept zu einer Transferability-Strategie weiterentwickelt. Als theoretisches Ablaufmodell ermöglicht sie die Untersuchung der Reichweite von sekundäranalytischen Ergebnissen und kann somit dazu beitragen, die Güte von Sekundäranalysen nachvollziehbar zu machen.
