The purpose of this study is to set up an integrated elementary social studies and science program; informal, flexible, and democratic enough to be in keeping with the modern trends of education, and thus broaden the pupils' understanding so that satisfactory adjustments to their environment may be made. Statement of the Problem 1. How can social studies and elementary science be integrated so as to meet individual needs and promote better human relationship? 2. Should social studies and elementary science be integrated in the curriculum as a means of helping children develop perspectives relative to science as a social force in the modern world? 3. Will integrated social studies and elementary science programs help develop harmonious human relations and reinforce bonds of family life? Data for this study were secured from questionnaires sent to seventy-five teachers of urban, and rural areas to find methods of presenting the social studies and elementary science in the elementary school curriculum. In addition, periodicals, books, and teacher's manuels or bulletins served as guides to seek trends in procedures for teaching social studies and science in the elementary school.

The case studies in Junctures in Women's Leadership: Social Movements introduce readers to twelve women from across the globe who have spearheaded a wide array of social movements, from gender equality to environmental justice. Examining how these women made sacrifices, asked critical questions, challenged injustice, and exhibited the will to act in the face of harsh criticism, these case studies also provide a unique window into the ways that women leaders make decisions at moments of struggle and historical change.

This definitive handbook is the first reference of its kind bringing together knowledge, scholarship, and debates on themes and issues concerning African women everywhere. It reviews and evaluates African women's historical, cultural, social, political, economic, religious, private, local, and global lives and activities. Contributors offer a consistent emphasis on debunking erroneous and misleading myths about African women's roles and positions, bringing their previously marginalized stories to relief, and ultimately re-writing their histories. This reference work includes, to the greatest extent possible, the voices of African women themselves as writers of their own stories. The detailed, rigorous and up-to-date analyses in the work represent a variety of theoretical, methodological, and transdisciplinary approaches. This reference work will prove vital in charting new directions for the study of African women, and will reverberate in future studies, generating new debates and engendering further interest

This short essay focuses on three issues: how science studies may facilitate the rapprochement between the philological study of scientific texts and Middle East history; how it may help us reconsider ambiguous if not "black-boxed" terms such as the "state," "Islam," and the "West"; and finally, how it may build thematic and theoretical bridges with other histories and geographies of science currently emerging from a more global, and not merely local, perspective.

Recent scholarship has broadened definitions of war and shifted from the narrow focus on battles and power struggles to include narratives of the homefront and private sphere. To expand scholarship on textual representations of war means to shed light on the multiple theaters of war, and on the many voices who contributed to, were affected by, and/or critiqued German war efforts. Engaged women writers and artists commented on their nations' imperial and colonial ambitions and the events of the tumultuous beginning of the twentieth century. In an interdisciplinary investigation, this volume explores select female-authored, German-language texts focusing on German colonial wars and World War I and the discourses that promoted or critiqued their premises. They examine how colonial conflicts contributed to a persistent atmosphere of Kriegsbegeisterung (war enthusiasm) that eventually culminated in the outbreak of World War I, or a Kriegskritik (criticism of war) that resisted it. The span from German colonialism to World War I brings these explosive periods into relief and challenges readers to think about the intersection of nationalism, violence and gender and about the historical continuities and disruptions that shape such events.
