Auditing: a Practical Approach is a new textbook written for students studying auditing at an undergraduate and postgraduate level. The text reflects how an audit is conducted in practice and the issues that are of greatest concern to auditors. Written by authors from academic and professional practice backgrounds the text has a practical orientation and presents essential audit topics supported with constructive pedagogy.

In order to communicate the key elements of the audit process a hypothetical case study, Cloud 9, underpins the audit process and methodology whilst providing a constant example of how general audit principles are applied in practice. With the educational trend to teach auditing with an industry and practical focus, the text will effectively develop a student's understanding of the various stages of an audit and how an audit is conducted in practice.

Constructing a Personal Orientation to Music Teaching is a textbook for studies in music education. It promote inquiry and reflection to facilitate teacher growth, lifelong learning, and a disposition toward educational change. In recent history many initiatives have sought to define what music teachers should know and be able to do. Teacher educators have attempted to build on such intiatives to structure and guide their programs. In these proposals the teachers's voice is often missing. This book ascribes to the notion of a personal orientation as a way to include, amplify, and situate the future teacher in the center of learning to teach.

Every chapter includes a wealth of pedagogical features, including exercises and problems that apply key ideas and concepts, first-person narratives that illustrate how personal experience influences thinking and action in teaching, summaries of relevant research studies in teacher education, and annotated reading lists.

Approaching Difficulties in Literacy Development: Assessments, Pedagogy and Programmes considers the complexity of literacy difficulties, showing how research into literacy difficulties has to be multi-faceted and multi-disciplinary and involve a range of research approaches and methods. The chapters show that this is necessary to accommodate the wide range of issues that can, potentially, explain literacy difficulties and suggest strategies and interventions to ease those difficulties.

This Reader is relevant to all postgraduate students of Literacy, as well as educators, professionals and policy makers.

Based on current research, debates and concerns, Understanding Difficulties in Literacy Development: Issues and Concepts adopts a cross disciplinary approach to understanding and working with those who experience difficulties with literacy. It provides a broad view of difficulties in literacy and related educational and curriculum learning issues across a range of ages, phases and settings.

Students can master key concepts and earn a better grade with the thought-provoking exercises found in this study guide. A wide range of questions and activities help students test their understanding of biology. The Student Study Guide also includes references to student media activities on the Campbell Biology CD-ROM and Website.

Un testo concepito come mezzo per aiutare gli studenti a mettere a fuoco gli aspetti essenziali della biologia in un solo semestre, organizzando il materiale in quattro aree: le cellule, i geni, l'evoluzione e l'ecologia. Il risultato è un testo di dimensioni contenute ma non superficiale nel trattare argomenti che sono fondamentali per capire la vita. Gli autori hanno voluto sviluppare alcuni aspetti basilari per facilitare l'apprendimento della materia: ogni capitolo inizia con un approfondimento 'Biologia e Società' che mette in relazione il contenuto del capitolo stesso con un aspetto che coinvolge direttamente gli studenti.
