Brent Duckor and Carrie Holmberg
Educators Brent Duckor and Carrie Holmberg show you how to plan, enact, and reflect on feedback practices within lessons and across units using an accessible, comprehensive, and innovative framework that illuminates the path towards equity and excellence for all. With evidence-based research and real classroom examples, Feedback for Continuous Improvement in the Classroom answers: What is formative feedback? How does it influence student outcomes and teacher pedagogy? Why are well-defined learning goals, aligned with rich tasks and progress guides, essential to making feedback truly formative? What are essential facets of teacher, peer, and self-driven feedback? How does feedback work best in whole-class, small group, or individual configurations? What can make written, spoken, and nonverbal feedback modalities more effective—for all? How can focusing on feedback improve learning across all subject matter disciplines? Prompts for self-reflection, videos, vignettes, and scaffolds throughout help readers see how effective feedback can be embedded into classrooms and school communities committed to discovery, growth, and deeper learning.

Mexican Philosophy for the 21st Century: Relajo, Zozobra, and Other Frameworks for Understanding Our World
Carlos Alberto Sánchez
Mexican philosophy has been relegated for far too long to the margins of philosophy's global scene. This book brings it front and centre by demonstrating that its figures, methods, and texts, supplement, enrich, and broaden the scope and depth of both philosophy and our everyday understanding. Powered by a commitment to use Mexican philosophy to navigate the perplexing world we inhabit, Sánchez challenges the blanket application of Eurocentric philosophy to our 21st-century concerns. This is an essential starting point for Latin American philosophy scholars and anyone approaching Mexican philosophy for the very first time.

Study Abroad and the Second Language Acquisition of Sociolinguistic Variation in Spanish
Avizia Long
This volume offers a comprehensive snapshot of the breadth of empirical research currently being conducted on the second language acquisition of sociolinguistic variation in Spanish during study abroad. Research on this topic spans diverse methodological approaches, types of programs, linguistic structures, and learner characteristics, which is reflected in the contributions in this volume. This diversity of approaches illustrates how the second language development of sociolinguistic variation during study abroad depends crucially on a number of linguistic and extralinguistic factors and can be measured in distinct ways. Thus, this collection will be an indispensable resource to researchers and students of second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, education, and other fields interested in language development during study abroad.

The Mindful Interview Method: Retrieving Cognitive Evidence
Gil Zamora
The Mindful Interview Method: Retrieving Cognitive Evidence has been written to assist public and private sector investigators in gathering reliable information from eyewitnesses. It’s a resource that offers the reader evidence-based techniques to enhance gathering reliable evidence and reveals the assessment component that measures the reliability of cognitive evidence. It is notable that eyewitness interview training is cursory at best, and most often nonexistent. This book aims to inspire a change in how we distinguish interrogations of suspects from interviewing eyewitnesses that are often victims and initial witnesses to certain events.

Advances in Global Leadership (Volume 15)
Joyce Osland
Advances in Global Leadership (a blind-reviewed book and journal) collects insights from leading scholars and practitioners, as well as newcomers to the field. In addition to accepting chapters on traditional research, Volume 15 promoted the under-researched topic of power and global leadership. In the final chapter, Dr. Osland and co-editors synthesized the books' insights and identified research directions and gaps for other scholars in "Power and Global Leadership: Marking the Transition and Suggesting Future Directions." For this volume, Dr. Osland also co-authored two chapters with research teams: "Leading Effective Global Change: Three Design Imperatives That Support Success" (Johnson, Ludema & Osland, 2023) and "A Model of Trigger Events and Sensemaking in the Intercultural Context: A Cognitive Approach to Global Leadership Effectiveness" (Osland, Bird, Reiche & Mendenhall, 2023). Furthermore, she interviewed one of the field's founders: "Asking Big Questions That Matter: An Interview with Nancy Adler" (Osland, 2023) and co-edited the book.

Data Science Inscription of the Jyotirlingas! Volume 1
Chandrasekar Vuppalapati
A Jyotirlinga or Jyotirlingam is a devotional representation of a Hindu Deity. The word is made up of Sanskrit ‘jyotis’ which means ‘radiance’ and linga, also spelled lingam, means ‘sign’ or “distinguishing symbol”. Hinduism defines Jyotirlingam as the radiant sign of the Almighty. In our data scientific view, nonetheless, Jyotirlinga represents the embodiment of time series. It exhibits stationarity and multi-model patterns of naturally occurring time series, a classical data science pattern, that has a causative relationship with historical events, world macroeconomics, agriculture, and other worldly events.

Getting the Runaround: Formerly Incarcerated Men and the Bureaucratic Barriers to Reentry
John Halushka
Getting the Runaround takes readers into the bureaucracy of prisoner reentry, examining how returning citizens navigate the "institutional circuit" of parole offices, public assistance programs, rehabilitation facilities, shelters, and family courts. Tracing the lives of men returning to New York City after incarceration, the book argues that the very institutions charged with facilitating the transition from incarceration to community life perversely undermine reintegration by imposing a litany of bureaucratic obstacles. This "runaround" is not merely a series of inconveniences but rather an extension of state punishment that exacerbates poverty and diminishes citizenship rights. By telling the stories of men caught in vicious cycles of bureaucratic control, Halushka demonstrates the urgent need to shift reentry away from an austerity-driven, compliance-based framework and toward a vision of social justice and inclusion.
