Learning Science Through the Innovative Use of Geospatial TechnologiesDesigning Effective Learning Tools and Programs for K-16 Settings

The extraordinary gains in computer performance over the past two decades have been paralleled by a related growth in geospatial applications. An important reason for this proliferation is that these tools provide a convenient framework for multidisciplinary analysis and synthesis of data in environmental science, earth science, and the so-cial sciences in particular. The value of geospatial technology for learning is not new, as for more than a decade, educators have recognized the promise of geographic geospatial technologies to support learning through inquiry across the social and natural sciences.

The Capability Approach, Technology and DesignThe capability approach of Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen places human capabilities at the centre stage of discussions about justice, equality, development and the quality of life. It rejects too much emphasis on mere preference satisfaction or resource provision and highlights the importance of human agency and freedom. This approach has already significantly influenced different fields of application, like economics and development studies. Only recently have scholars started to ex-plore its relevance for and application to the area of technology and design, which can be crucial factors in the expansion of human capabilities. How does technology influence human capabili-ties? What difference could a capability approach make to policies and practices of applying ICT in development processes in the South?

Taking into account the newly unearth materials and most recent scholarship, the first part will present the historical development of Classical Confu-cianism by introducing the rising of Classical Confucianism upon the fading of ancient political theology and the arrival of creative humanism, and the development of philosophical ideas of the major philosophers and their thoughts, such as Confucius, Confucius’ disciples, Confucius’ grand-son Zisi and the Zisi-Mencius School, Mencius, and finally Xunzi. Together with the historical development, the philosophy in the Confucian Scriptures and the major works of these philoso-phers are analytically and critically made explicit and assessed.

Aging and Health in AfricaPopulation aging is a matter of global concern. It often occurs in tandem with changes in the health profile of the population. In Africa, many countries are already facing a high burden of com-municable diseases. However, as more and more children survive childhood and move on to adult years and old age they are also more likely to expe-rience health problems associated with the aging process. Population aging in Africa is occurring in the context of high levels of poverty, changing family structures, an immense disease burden, fragile health systems and weak or poorly mana-ged government institutions. This book shows that aging is likely to lead to increased social and eco-nomic demands for the continent. However, most national governments in Africa have not begun to address the issue of how to respond effectively to the needs of the older population.
