uction, and the continuing trend toward the introduction of educational standards and quality criteria. Since its first publication in 1999, the Guidebook has proven to be a useful tool for scholars, textbook authors, teachers, and curriculum developers who analyze, compare, and elaborate instructional media of social science subjects on a national and international level. The Guidebook has been translated into Albanian, Serbian, Croatian, and Turkish, among other languages. The new edition places textbook revision in the context of legal and other social measures for reconciliation in transition societies. These include trials, truth commissions, and memorial ceremonies. Of particular importance in this context are the pros and cons of different formats of textbook projects, as well as the development of bi- or multilateral history textbooks. Therefore, the methodological and pedagogical aspects of bi- or multinational projects, as well as the construction of group identities in textbooks, are given greater weight. Like its predecessor, the expanded Guidebook provides quick orientation and actionable information. It is a practical reference for all experts working in the broader field of international textbook research and revision." (Georg Eckert Institute homepage)

"This book is an excellent introduction to practice and theory of managing radio stations. It is divided into three parts. The first section provides an overview of the radio sector in the United Kingdom and presents the core concepts of radio station management. The second and core part of the book
...
is a detailed and comprehensive practical guide to the different elements of managing commercial and community radio. It provides useful tools and examples of management practice, ranging from 'station and organisational structures' and 'financial management, sales and fundraising' to 'managing news and phone-ins' and 'knowing and researching your audience'. The last part uses three case studies (a local radio, a community radio, the BBC 6 music programme) to illustrate different station structures and management approaches. The clear structure, the plain language and the illustrative examples make this guide a helpful tool for any person interested in radio management - not only in the United Kingdom, but also other parts of the world - and it may also give advice on setting up a station from scratch."

"This book is for broadcasters of all flavours, colours and tastes.

c particles. It is about explanations about natural phenomena, including our society. So, politics, religion or our thought processes or imagination are not beyond the scope of scientific investigation. For example, if you are reporting a local conflict, there are enough scientific studies on aggression and violence that may throw light on the situation. You can give a new spin on sports if you have enough understanding about sports science and the pharmacology of performance enhancing drugs. Business cycles are specific examples of quasi-periodic phenomena and your reporting would bear a fresh perspective if you could dig deep into non-linear dynamics. How can you report on a crime without understanding the basics of forensic science?" (Introduction)
