The time is ripe for interdisciplinary; collaborative approaches to school design. Whatever the current funding limitations; we still need to think about how we design; organise and use space in schools for learning and teaching. This edited book ensures that we donrsquo;t start from ground zero in terms of good design. Including chapters from researchers and practitioners in architecture and education; it assesses; describes and illustrates how education and environment can be mutually supportive. The centrality of participation and collaboration between architects; educators and school users holds these diverse contributions together. The book embodies the practice as well as the principle of interdisciplinary working. Organised in two parts; this volume considers how schools are designed and used with chapters looks at current and past school environments in the UK; US and Europe. It then questions how the learning environment can be improved through participatory design processes with contributors from design and education backgrounds offering both theoretical understanding and practical ideas. Written without subject-specific jargon or assumptions; it can be used by readers from either an architectural or educational background; bridging the on-going communication gap between education and design professionals. Design and education professionals alike will appreciate the:bull;?practical information which shows how to change or improve a learning environment bull;?focus on evidence-based research bull;?case studies and chapter topics including schools from across the primary and secondary sectors.

Im a huge fan of Hairspray (proud to say that I saw the musical 3 times to my sisters chagrin) and was devastated when they bowed out of Broadway. As much as I liked the movie versions; they werent just the same. I always wished that they filmed the musical and put it on DVD. However; this book is a close second best. The book has the lyrics and script for the musical ONLY. It is set up in play format. There are no arrangements for the music or anything else. You have to get a separate book for that - Hairspray: Piano/Vocal Selections. In the center; there are 2 pages of images of the OBC. The quality of the book and pages are pretty sturdy. The font is a decent; readable size.For fans of the musical; this is a must have. Its like owning a piece of my favorite show in paper format. And I will be definitely pretending to act this out on a rainy day.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Its good to see what the actors read and the context around the songs if the soundtrack is all you have.
