Learning Cities in Late Antiquity : The Local Dimension of Education
Education in the Graeco-Roman world was a hallmark of the polis.Yet the complex ways in which pedagogical theory and practice intersected with their local environments has not been much explored in recent scholarship.Learning Cities in Late Antiquity suggests a new explanatory model that helps to understand better how conditions in the cities shaped learning and teaching, and how, in turn, education had an impact on its urban context.Drawing inspiration from the modern idea of ‘learning cities’, the chapters explore the interplay of teachers, learners, political leaders, communities and institutions in the Mediterranean polis, with a focus on the well-documented city of Gaza in the sixth century CE.They demonstrate in detail that formal and informal teaching, as well as educational thinking, not only responded to specifically local needs, but also exerted considerable influence on local society.With its interdisciplinary and comparatist approach, the volume aims to contextualise ancient education, in order to stimulate further research on ancient learning cities.It also highlights the benefits of historical research to theory and practice in modern education.

What are local extrema?
Local extrema are points on a graph where a function reaches a maximum or minimum value within a specific interval. A local maximum is the highest point in a small neighborhood of a function, while a local minimum is the lowest point in that neighborhood. These points are called "local" because they may not be the absolute highest or lowest points of the entire function, but rather within a limited range.
-
What are local slopes?
Local slopes refer to the steepness or incline of a specific section of land or terrain within a larger area. They are a measure of how quickly the elevation changes over a short distance in a particular location. Local slopes are important in various fields such as geography, geology, and civil engineering as they can impact factors like water drainage, soil erosion, and construction feasibility. Understanding local slopes can help in planning and designing infrastructure, managing natural resources, and assessing potential risks such as landslides.

From School Board to Local Authority
First published in 1956, From School Board to Local Authority is a meticulous and exact inquiry into the events which led up to the famous Cockerton v.The School Board for London case. It suggests that the reorganization of the education system in 1902 was not primarily the result of an unexpected legal decision in 'Cockerton Judgement' rather was the outcome of a deliberate policy evolved by Morant and Gorst aimed at ending the administrative confusion which then existed.The book is based mainly on the material found on the files of the Education Department, the Science and Art Department, and the Local Government Board.It further reveals the administrative confusion and jealousies of these Departments, shown as conflicts about Higher Grade Schools, Secondary Schools, Organized Science Schools, and Evening Schools.

Resisting Neoliberalism in Education : Local, National and Transnational Perspectives
Neoliberalism has been widely criticised because of its role in prioritising ‘free markets’ as the optimum way of solving problems and organising society.In the field of education, this leads to an emphasis on the knowledge economy that can reduce both persons and education to economic actors and be detrimental to wider social and ethical goals.Drawing on a range of international contexts across informal, adult, school and university settings, this book provides innovative examples that show how neoliberalism in education can be challenged and changed at the local, national and transnational levels in order to foster a more democratic culture.

Is local anesthesia painful?
Local anesthesia can cause some discomfort during the injection process, as it involves a small needle being inserted into the skin. However, the discomfort is usually minimal and short-lived. Once the anesthesia takes effect, the area should be numb and the procedure should be painless. Overall, the temporary discomfort of the injection is typically well worth the pain relief provided by the local anesthesia.
-
What is local fragmentation?
Local fragmentation refers to the breaking up of natural habitats into smaller, isolated patches due to human activities such as urbanization, agriculture, and infrastructure development. This fragmentation can lead to a loss of biodiversity, as it disrupts the movement and gene flow of species, making it difficult for them to find food, mates, and suitable habitats. It can also increase the vulnerability of species to extinction and reduce the overall resilience of ecosystems. Efforts to mitigate local fragmentation include creating wildlife corridors and protected areas to connect fragmented habitats and promote species movement.
