\u00a0Education for children with disabilities in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: developing a sense of belonging<\/a> \/Margarita Schiemer.\u00a0 This book presents insights into the lived realities of children with disabilities in primary schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. It examines specific cultural and societal characteristics of Ethiopia that influence the education of children with disabilities. The book presents findings drawn from interviews with, and participant observation of the schoolchildren, family members, teachers and other “experts”, and places these findings in a cultural-historical context. The multidimensional approach taken allows for, on the one hand, the provision of a historical grounding of the book, explaining the main historical junctures and their implications for education, and the discussion of the role of culture and society as barriers and facilitators of education. On the other hand, it gives the book a more personal angle, allowing the reader to gain insight into what it means to feel like a family, develop a sense of belonging, and trying to move toward educational equity.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/create.twu.ca\/library\/files\/2017\/12\/index.jpg?resize=167%2C200\")

\u00a0Placing empire: travel and the social imagination in imperial Japan<\/a> \/Kate McDonald. Placing Empire <\/em>examines the spatial politics of Japanese imperialism through a study of Japanese travel and tourism to Korea, Manchuria, and Taiwan between the late nineteenth century and the early 1950s. In a departure from standard histories of Japan, this book shows how debates over the place of colonized lands reshaped the social and spatial imaginary of the modern Japanese nation and how, in turn, this sociospatial imaginary affected the ways in which colonial difference was conceptualized and enacted. In so doing, it illuminates how ideas of place became central to the production of new forms of colonial hierarchy as empires around the globe transitioned from an era of territorial acquisition to one of territorial maintenance.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/create.twu.ca\/library\/files\/2017\/12\/RoACover.jpg?resize=133%2C200\")

This exciting volume presents the work and research of the Rivers of the Anthropocene Network, an international collaborative group of scientists, social scientists, humanists, artists, policy makers, and community organizers working to produce innovative transdisciplinary research on global freshwater systems.
