Over the last twenty-five years Ernst von Glasersfeld has had a tremendous impact on mathematics and science education through his fundamental insights into the nature of knowledge and knowing. Radical Constructivism in Action is a new volume of papers honouring his work by building on his model of knowing. The contributions by leading researchers present constructivism in action, tying the authors' actions regarding practical problems of mathematics and science education, philosophy, and sociology to their philosophical constraints, giving meaning to constructivism operationally. The book begins with a retrospective analogy between radical constructivism's emergence and changes in what is thought of as "certain" scientific knowledge. It aims to increase understanding of constructivism and Glasersfeld's achievement, and is vibrant evidence of the continued vitality of research in the constructivism tradition.

"Harry Chambers & Peterloo Poets celebrates a press which, in the 37 years of its existence, has made an impact on contemporary poetry out of all proportion to its apparently modest scale. This is entirely due to one man, Harry Chambers, whose energy, managerial know-how, editorial skills, and unfailingly shrewd eye for good - and often unfashionable - poetry have made the books he has published under the imprint of Peterloo Poets a byword for quality both of production and content." --Book Jacket.
