Before you're tempted to add just one more idea to the pile, take a step back-and an objective look-so that you and your teachers can decide which practices to keep, which to modify, and which to eliminate altogether. This guide provides: A research- and evidence-based framework for determining efficacy Practical steps for removing, reducing, or replacing ineffective practices Action steps, examples, and tips for beginning the work Templates for charting your school's individual path to de-implementation

`Hybrid Geographies is one of the most original and important contributions to our field in the last 30 years. At once immensley provocative and productive, it is written with uncommon clarity and grace, and promises to breathe new life not only into geographical inquiry but into critical practice across the spectrum of the humanities and social sciences - and beyond. An extraordinary achievement' - Professor Derek Gregory, Department of Geography, University of British ColumbiaHybrid Geographies critically examines the `opposition' between nature and culture, the material and the social, as represented in scientific, environmental and popular discourses. Demonstrating that the world is not an exclusively human achievement, Hybrid Geographies reconsiders the relation between human and non-human, the social and the material, showing how they are intimately and variously linked.General arguments - informed by work in critical geography, feminist theory, environmental ethics, and science studies - are illustrated throughout with detailed case-study material. This exemplifies the two core themes of the book: a consideration of hybridity (the human/non-human relation) and of the `fault-lines' in the spatial organization of society and nature.Hybrid Geographies is essential reading for students in the social sciences with an interest in nature, space and social theory.
